[Verse 1: JOHO] In the club standing there with her face screwed up Acting like she got a problem with the world See her standing looking mad with her face screwed up Instead of on the floor grinding with her girls Pull up cause I see she got a problem being alone A conversation led to her inviting me to her home Hoping her friends chill, leave that social media-lone Her friends still at the club, but she not leaving alone (A-ha-ha-ha-ha) The clock strikes 2:35, look alive, get inside Nothing good ever happens after two Then she look me in the eyes, and described, she said "I bet all the pretty women always after you” I start rubbing on her thighs, I’m excited, she likes it I know exactly what I’m finna do See a light up in her eyes, it’s her phone, on full brightness Incoming FaceTime from her dude [Hook: JOHO] And it turned into one of those nights that she wished that she didn’t have a boyfriend Turned into one of those nights that she wished that she didn’t have to call Now she out here crying in the bathroom stall Crossfaded, getting lost in the heat of it all Wishing that she had the freedom Told herself she didn’t need him [Verse 2: Kiev] Told herself she didn't need him 'cause she wanted me Let her know that by myself is where I wanna be And it's sad 'cause she's sweeter than a honeybee Got a boyfriend, but somehow she laying under me And it's funny see, consequences unforeseen If we ever seen, then your man gon' wanna come for me And it's tough you see, 'cause he could never fuck with me Twenty-years-old and I run my own company I enjoy your company, but I am not a nut you see And if your man run up on me I do not fight with knuckles see We need to quit running amok before we're accidentally stuck Even if you're married you'd still probably let me fuck Hit it once, came back, that's how strong it is It don't matter what I did, you belong to him Two ships, we just pass in the night She the only one left, 'cause we know it ain't right [Hook: JOHO] Turned into one of those nights that she wished that she didn’t have a boyfriend Turned into one of those nights that she wished that she didn’t have to call Now she out here crying in the bathroom stall Crossfaded, getting lost in the heat of it all Wishing that she had the freedom Told herself she didn’t need him [Bridge] It’s not the place, nor the time, nor that I can keep you mine So my dear if you don’t mind right now I’m gone gone gone And I hope one day you see, it wasn’t you, it wasn’t me My dear unfortunately right now I’m gone gone gone [Verse 3] She said to shake all the pressure He don’t need to know What happens in this endeavor We don’t need to show So baby just bring me pleasure And do it real slow Just take it slow Take it slow Take it slow Take it slow [Hook: JOHO] Turned into one of those nights that she wished that she didn’t have a boyfriend Turned into one of those nights that she wished that she didn’t have to call Now she out here crying in the bathroom stall Crossfaded, getting lost in the heat of it all Wishing that she had the freedom Told herself she didn’t need him

[Verse 1: JOHO] Left on read, now I’m in my head Thinking how did this go wrong Analyze everything I said And the flaws go on and on The hesitation in my head to follow up The desperation in my bed to round hopes up A slight rejection got me stressing I don’t wanna be alone tonight So I’m laying down with only my phone in sight [Hook: JOHO] Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Swipe right If you tryna fall in love tonight Yeah yeah [Outro: Jonesy] Caught up in these feelings instead of letting go Oh I’ll be ok are words that I’ve said before It’s best I take off of that pedestal It’s critical Baby I’m still in love Baby I’m still in love

Cold World 04:31
[Hook: JOHO] All on your own With nowhere to roam How do you sleep in a world so cold? You’re on your own You're so far from home How do you sleep in a world so cold? Ohhh How do you sleep in a world so cold? Ohhh How do you sleep in a world so cold? [Verse 1: JOHO] I don’t think well with the lights on I slip into a deep depression and I write songs I self reflect on how I feel I live this life wrong My nights long takes a lot to just fight on I feel like I’m being strangled by a python Steady questioning what I’ve done and where I’ve gone It’s stressful, but sometimes there’s a slight calm Like the moments when my lady’s hand’s in my palm I’m gone Off the deep end with this one Slip into insanity cause people don’t listen and People’s intentions are never what they seem Taking kindness for weakness, can’t let myself get schemed My brain needs acoustic panels to contain my screams Need to spend more time with God than bumpin' ultralighted beams Gotta do more than write poetry to blow off all the steam Nah mean? [Pre Chorus: JOHO] If life is just a dream then let me sleep I don’t wanna see what the world has to offer me If life isn’t serene then let me weep I don’t need you to validate all the awful things [Hook: JOHO] All on your own With nowhere to roam How do you sleep in a world so cold? When you’re on your own With nowhere to go How do you sleep in a world so cold? [Verse 2: JOHO] The worlds on the screen Are unlike what I’ve seen If you wanna get your point across Then tell me what you mean I wanna be the best for you But at this point I just don’t know how Know how At some point it seemed That our love couldn’t be I just wish you took the time To try and work it out with me You gave up on my heart and at this point It’s just not functioning now Now [Bridge: JOHO] This life that I’m living Got me tripping Now I’m slipping I don’t wanna be resistant But my heart don’t ever listen I’m submitting to the visions Of existing as a victim And my mission Is to kick them In the end cause I don’t wanna be alone... I don't wanna be alone... I don’t wanna be alone... I don’t wanna be alone... [Outro: JOHO] All on your own With nowhere to roam How do you sleep in a world so cold? You’re on your own You're so far from home How do you sleep in a world so cold? All on your own With nowhere to go

[Verse 1: JOHO] I know I try But I can’t even lie I’m not through with you I go outside Stare up into the sky Watch it do what it do When lighting strikes we all fall down Even trees when you’re not around to hear the sound And I fell pretty hard and now I’m scarred And I keep on falling, girl, but now it’s apart Rain falls from the sky aimlessly But the rainbows after just don’t feel the same to me I guess the opener isn’t who we came to see I know (I know), I know (I know) Try to hide it but my attitude is plain to see And I can’t go on existing, living angrily But acting cool with everything just seems insane to me I know (I know), I know (I know) [Hook: JOHO] Ooh I’m not trying to seem bitter And I’m doing all I can to forget her Giving my best fake smile has got me set up to lose But I’m scared to refuse Ooh I’m not trying to seem bitter And I’m doing all I can to forget her Giving my best fake smile has got me set up to lose But I’m scared to refuse [Verse 2: Kaylie King] I see you there and you don’t even care You’re not feeling it too And I’m wondering how How can you hurt me from across the room? I guess to everybody I still look the same But believe me, baby everything around me has changed And I’m trying hard to pin it down in this space But my mind is flying all over the place I can feel the brazen sky looking down on me And I’ve lost my way among the rocks and the weeds I know you’re not the one who has to comfort me So I’ll go, I’ll go and let you leave Maybe if I hadn’t started so eagerly This wouldn’t have to end so bitterly But it’s the way that things turned out to be So I know, I know I’ll watch you leave [Verse 3: Maxgotthetracks] Sipping, smoking, sleeping I still see her I don't need it I don't want her I want closure I feel bitter This is over Lost hope, but I ain't lost feelings Lost my appetite I'm not eating Lost sleep 'cause I'm not dreaming Lost everything, I still needed Sipping, smoking, sleeping I still see her I don't need it I don't want her I want closure I feel bitter This is over Lost hope, but I ain't lost feelings Lost my appetite I'm not eating Lost sleep 'cause I'm not dreaming Lost everything, I still needed

Country Boy 03:10
[Hook: JOHO] I’ll never be the country boy you grew up longing for Wearing boots, my shirt tucked in while bringing flowers to your door Serenade you slowly to some Tim McGraw and Shania Twain But darling I promise, I’ll love you all the same [Verse 1: JOHO] Steady your mind I promise you’ll find the truth that lies within When the sun goes down On your side of town then you and I begin To talk all night on the telephone And discuss our wildest dreams In these moments of honesty It finally occurs to me that [Hook: JOHO] I’ll never be the country boy you grew up longing for Wearing boots, my shirt tucked in while bringing flowers to your door Serenade you slowly to some Tim McGraw and Shania Twain But darling I promise, I’ll love you all the same [Verse 2: JOHO] These Texas Skies You’ve known for your whole life I had to adjust (I had to adjust) And for that, I digress (And for that, I digress) These Texas Guys You have visualized As simply the best (As simply the best) I’ll never be that Ooh darling you know [Hook: JOHO] I’ll never be the country boy you grew up longing for Wearing boots, my shirt tucked in while bringing flowers to your door Serenade you slowly to some Tim McGraw and Shania Twain But darling I promise, I’ll love you all the same

[Verse 1: JOHO] Mid existential crisis Flushing out all my vices The world seems smaller when you know what the meaning of life is Know what the meaning of love is and willing to pay the prices Got work in just a few hours but at 3 AM I write this Insecurity beckons as self consciousness swells Go joke about it on twitter, haha I just took some L’s Laugh with them so it don’t hurt, you’re in on it so it seems And maybe just maybe they might turn laughter into esteem Oh now you’re the funny guy Make us chuckle giggle and smile Wear your flaws on your sleeve It could all be part of your style Attack yourself before they can like B rabbit in 8 mile You’re clever one thing that you have going for you is your guile But what does it really solve all you feel is mental distress Emotional unrest but you tell people that you’re blessed So that makes it all ok, or so I guess [Verse 2: JOHO] My decision making is flawed Mental state simply wavers But hate letting people down And I say yes to every favor Defend people I love by sacrificing my image Boisterous and outspoken, but sensitive and timid I don’t believe in limits I get labeled as cocky “You think you can do anything” Who the fuck is gonna stop me “No one cares about your football No one wants to hear you sing When it comes to you, don’t want to see or hear a fucking thing You’re doing this all for clout, my god you love attention You’re doing this to be mentioned The focal point of a sentence You want people to notice you You’re extra as fuck Stop talking about yourself For once please shut the fuck up Be normal, everybody else gets it, sit down You’re a fucking clown, we don’t want you around Somebody needs to humble you and put you into your place You think you’re really great but really you’re a fucking disgrace And now that we told you this, don’t go act like you’re in your feelings All sad and pouty and mad and frowny Get from around me Don’t post your sad songs, or tweet your weird mysterious lyrics We’re enjoying life, your bullshit, boy we don’t wanna fear it So post your thumbs down pics with your irresponsible friends And forgive whoever fucked you over, you always make amends, and if you got something to say, fucking say it with your chest Stop acting all depressed boy you’re blessed, and that makes it all ok or so I guess [Verse 3: JOHO] I come from a city with generations of struggle Everybody got a hustle With savvy or with their muscle Boys be idolizing future, but ridiculed if they Russell’s Type of shit that lead to conflict and getting into these scuffles Everybody toting pieces like they tryna finish puzzles And they love to run their mouth, seems we got a shortage on muzzles And if somebody say something, there’s certainly a rebuttal To us this image is everything, by no means is it subtle How long til I gotta say bye to people that I cherish? How long will I remain alive? At what point will I perish? How long til I meet my maker and Gabriel blows his horn? How long til I have to pay for all the people that I’ve scorned? How long til the lord decides we’ll meet our end? All loved ones that I’ve lost before man will we meet again? We know for certain that it happens if you like it or not My only question is how long do we got? [Verse 4: JOHO] The Older I get, the better I used to be Before the mental distress, started abusing me This isn’t my cry for help, or a note saying goodbye It’s me looking to sky, screaming and wondering why All this shit in head, made me wish i was dead Every night I would dread, all my armor was shed But now I’m stronger than ever, over the mountain I climbed I been reclaiming my happiness, been reclaiming my mind I been reclaiming my smile, and been reclaiming my heart I been reclaiming relationships, been reclaiming my spark I been reclaiming my voice, I been reclaiming my sound I been reclaiming my ground, I’m not fucking around I’m not fucking around, No longer fucking around I’m not fucking around, No longer fucking around I’m not fucking around, No longer fucking around No longer fucking around, Imma be just fine [Hook: JOHO] You gotta love yourself It isn't what they wanna see from you Don't stop loving youself It's something that you always got to do You gotta love yourself It isn't what they wanna see from you Don't stop loving youself It's something that you always got to do You gotta love yourself (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh) It isn't what they wanna see from you (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh) Don't stop loving yourself (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh) It's something that you always got to do (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh) You gotta love yourself (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh) It isn't what they wanna see from you (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh) Don't stop loving yourself (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh) It's something that you always got to do (Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 1: JOHO] She got the look She got the style She drives me wild She drives me wild She got the hair She got the smile She drives me wild Just need a shot Just need a chance Look in her eyes And hold her hands And it’ll take One little glance To find romance [Pre Chorus: JOHO] I know we live in complicated times where hate resides But is it dignified to stay alive As long as able eyes could stabilize the crazed and deprived Then maybe we could find a away to survive [Chorus: JOHO] Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart [Verse 2: JOHO] She brings me joy She brings me glee She’s meant for me She’s meant for me She brings me bliss And prosperity She’s meant for me Her voice can bring me to my feet And oh her aura makes me weak And oh I love it when she speaks I feel complete [Pre Chorus: JOHO] February came and went and now I’m twenty two As I get older the world gets colder and it’s unknown what I’m to do And the gravity or mortality is eating me alive But maybe one day we can find a way to survive [Chorus: JOHO] Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart [Bridge: JOHO] Drifting away getting caught in the moment while I’m lost in the heat of all The love that I give and the way that I live, may seem extra, but for me it’s default I wish for a day, where distress goes away, and once again I’ll have the key to your heart But if love is dead, you wish to move on instead, I hope at least that we could meet at the park [Chorus: JOHO] Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart Meet me at the park Meet me at the park Before it gets dark Don’t break my heart
