LYRICS: FLAGSHIP ROMANCE PART 1

1. imposter

i’m tired of overthinkin’

every little thing i do

even when i’m winnin’

i can feel it creepin’ through

i’m never good enough

unique enough

it’s hard to breathe

the tide is rising up

my friends and family

say they are here for me

but when i look in the mirror

all that i see is an

imposter

in my own skin

it never ends, no

imposter

i’m scared to death

livin’ inside my head
there’s a monster

that tells me i’m an

imposter

i started over-drinkin’

it’s the only thing that kills the pain

‘cause i’m so over livin’

won’t somebody disconnect my brain?

i’m never worthy of

nobody’s love

little victories

will never be enough

no matter how i try

to kiss this thing goodbye

this toxic lullaby keeps telling me i’m an

imposter

in my own skin

it never ends, no

imposter

i’m scared to death

livin’ inside my head
there’s a monster

that tells me i’m an

imposter

it’s hard for me to be myself when the beast i’m feedin’

is tearing at me piece by piece
i can’t stop bleedin’

it’s hungry as hell tonight, oh

will it ever be satisfied?

telling me i’m an

imposter

i’m scared to death

‘cause underneath my bed

there’s a monster

that tells me i’m an

imposter

2. north star

a night that i’ll never forget
like a dream you passed me by
in the form of a silhouette
i’m finding myself wrapped in the sound
of your beautiful music

i asked your name
you smiled like you saw it comin’
you could hear the thunder
from my heart that love was drummin’
all against the sound
of your beautiful music

i just can’t control my feet
i would follow you so far, so far
it’s not discreet
what you do to me
i’m callin’ you my north star
north star

it’s hard to find the words to say
if you’re the ocean i’m the sun dancin’ in your waves
i’m flowing back and forth to the sound
of your beautiful music

ask me once
i don’t need to question
as long as i got you
don’t need a map
don’t need direction
addicted to the sound
of your beautiful music

chorus

tell me now
‘cause i need to know
when morning comes
i wanna be wherever you go
addicted to the sound
of your beautiful music

chorus

yeah baby
wherever you are
i’m calling you my north star
north star

3. lightning in a bottle

sometimes on a long drive

i take a look to my right

in the passenger’s seat

no lie, can’t believe my eyes

what a sweet surprise

sittin’ next to me

don’t know what kind of dice i threw

to spend my days with someone like you

i’m catchin’ lightning in a bottle

that’s the way it feels

what i thought was impossible

is suddenly so real

i’m catchin’ lightning in a bottle

late night in a cold sweat

i imagine waking up in a hospital bed

i come to and the doctor said

you really did a number when you hit your head

you know that

it’s like that Inception scene

a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream

but then i see you next to me

i’m catchin’ lightning in a bottle

that’s the way it feels

what i thought was impossible

is suddenly so real

i’m catchin’ lightning in a bottle

some say it’s magic

some call it fate

i swear it hit me when i thought it was too late

now i can’t remember

what lonely’s like

don’t need to know if it’ll strike the same place twice

i’m catchin’ lightning in a bottle

that’s the way it feels

what i thought was impossible

is suddenly so, suddenly so real

i’m catchin’ lightning in a bottle

catchin’ lightning in a bottle

that’s the way it feels, yeah

catchin’ lightning in a bottle

i’m catchin’ lightning in a bottle

4. cavities

i know you’re probably

not good for me

but you could satisfy

my lonely appetite

wrapped in flattery

empty calories

just a sample size

and i’m on a sugar high

love at first it tastes so sweet

like falling into cotton candy dreams

you make me sick and my gums bleed

now all i’m left with are cavities
cavities

blood sugar spikin’

tantalizin’

fuckin’ with my head

guess i’m not over it

when i hit the center

it gets so bitter

pleasure filled with pain

in shiny cellophane

love at first it tastes so sweet

like falling into cotton candy dreams

you make me sick and my gums bleed

now all i’m left with are cavities
cavities

i need a rush of saccharine

enough to make me wanna try again

the everlasting flavor leaves

i’m left to find another hole in me

cavities
cavities

5. déjà vu

what do you want with your life?
can you remember what the feeling is like
to get lost in all of the stars in the sky?

sending their light over years
like a celestial chandelier
they remind you their own way to be here

where do we go when we sleep?
how do we know this isn’t all just a dream?
are we just a drop of water in the sea?

i’ve got a hunch, you and i
carry the weight of a million lives
that our stories stretch across space and time

i met a stranger in the hallway
i swear i knew
left me with a feeling that i can’t explain
it was so much more than déjà vu

a story that sticks in my mind
a young boy rushes to his baby brother’s side
peeking over his crib in the still of the night

he saw it as his only shot
to ask a newborn a burning thought
“tell me all about God, i almost forgot”

have you ever wandered in a strange place
and somehow knew
every step you’re taking is a step retraced?
yeah it’s so much more than déjà vu

6. awkward

taking on water

becoming my father

negotiating myself off of the ledge

i’ve been talking myself to death

could really use a lover

or a hug from my mother

i’ve got this pillow pressed over my head

yeah, i’ll take what i can get

anytime that i try to say how i feel

it’s like i’m falling asleep at the wheel

i feel so awkward

i feel so awkward
it feels so awkward

i think that i got this

then immediately talk shit

spending afternoons sipping a cup of tea

with the ghost of who i wanna be

i wanna be funny

and have enough money

instead of losing my mind at a photo of me

yeah i pick apart every little thing that i see

yeah i try to say how i feel

but i’m falling asleep at the wheel

i feel so awkward

i feel so awkward
i feel so awkward

7. i'm not fine

you got what you wanted

you took me for granted

out in the open

left me empty handed

feels like it was last night

we'd go for a long drive

and we couldn't wait to

make out at a red light

i stand in the shower

press my face to the wall

keep my phone close

just in case you might call

the darkest of thoughts

circle my mind

i'm not fine
i'm not fine

i thought you were funny

i thought that you loved me

turns out you're as fake as

monopoly money

now i'm drunk and i hate it

texting you dumb shit

got a pit in my stomach

cuz i know you read it

these last few days

i just wish i could die

when i try to sleep

all i can do is cry

but i miss you

and that makes me so sick inside

i'm not fine
i'm not fine
i'm not

8. fresh kills

you complain that the wolf is always at your door

but you’re leavin’ fresh kills nightly on your back porch

there’s comfort in the drama

you’re stuck in the familiar

but you can’t see this rerun of life is gonna kill ya

yeah i know that it’s harder to ignore your father

than take on water
call yourself a martyr

i’m reachin’ out, but you push yourself further

from the only ones

the only ones

the only ones who love you

i know you’re scared of the monsters livin’ under your bed

in the form of the hateful words that your preacher said

they took your heart for granted

honey, you were just a child

now everyone that you meet

you put ‘em all on trial

chorus

am i getting through?

thought i was getting through

tore myself in two

what’s enough for you?

oh, i know that it’s harder to ignore your father

than take on water
call yourself a martyr

i’m reachin’ out, but you push yourself further

from everybody who wants to see you

break down
break on through the mirage

let go of the need to self-sabotage

throw yourself into the arms

of the only ones

the only ones

the only ones who love you

9. slow day (ft. rod castro)

we’ve been going through the motions
need to get in touch with our emotions
baby we’ve been drowning in an ocean of no devotion lately

be nice to take a moment
reconnect and find where all the love went
we could take a break from all the hustlin’
time would be well spent
i say

we could have a slow day
we could take a snow day in july
responsibility will fade away
if we give ourselves the room to let it slide
and if i had it my way
i’d have a slow day with you

that 9 to 5 that we’ve been grindin’
our to-do list sure could use a good unwindin’
this little chill came at the perfect time
let’s cozy vibe and watch it melt away

we could have a slow day
we could take a snow day in july
responsibility will fade away
if we give ourselves the room to let it slide
and if i had it my way
i’d have a slow day with you

we could lock the doors
turn off our phones
no deadlines babe
you and i could spend some time alone
no traffic jams
just comfy clothes
cinnamon french toast
binge watch all our favorite shows

we could have a slow day
mm-hmm
we could stay inside and play
mm-hmm
and if i had it my way
i’d have a slow day with you

10. waltz of the parallel universe

in a parallel universe

human beings aren’t the ones in control

there’s a new kind of species at the top of the chain

they’re the ones running the show

they do it better than we could ever, ever know

they don’t poison their mother

point fingers at others

they don’t even care about skin color

don’t that sound like something straight out of a dream?

what a wonderful world that would be

in a parallel universe

human beings aren’t the ones who call the shots

in this place there’s no ego to drive you insane

and they don’t send their children to war

they love better than we have ever, that’s for sure

oh, wouldn’t it be lovely

to not worship money

or stockpile weapons like a barrel of junkies?

in a parallel life there’s no power or greed

what a wonderful world that would be
