Welcome to the freak show
Come step into my world
I build it for myself
Put all my memories on the wall
(All my memories on the wall)
Welcome to the freak show
Where nothing can burn out, nothing can break down
I swear I run away from it all
(I swear I run away from it all)
When you wake up and you're all alone
And the bed's too big for one
Well, you're not the only weird one
Here, let me show you where I'm from
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place that we can go
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place nobody knows
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place that we can go
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place nobody knows
Feels different tonight with you here at my side
Oh, I could just get lost here for days
(I could just get lost here for days)
When you wake up and you're all alone
And the bed's too big for one
Well, you're not the only weird one
Here, let me show you where I'm from
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place that we can go
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place nobody knows
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place that we can go
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place nobody knows
Who wants, who wants
Who wants to be normal anyway, hmm anyway? (Ooh, ooh)
Who wants, who wants
Who wants to be normal anyway? (Ooh, ooh)
What's normal anyway?
(Ooh, ooh)
Welcome to the freak show
I got a place that we can go
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)
I got a place nobody knows
Welcome to the freak show
(Who wants, who wants, who wants to be normal?)
I got a place that we can go
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)

Welcome to the freak show
(Who wants, who wants, who wants to be normal?)
I got a place that we can go
Welcome to the freak show (ooh, ooh)

Young and in Love
We're young and in love
And we're running like the wind, we got it all
We're never alone
If we got each other, we can save the world
Explosions in the sky, I see colors fly
It's like the Fourth of July in your eyes
Old enough, old enough, old enough to know that
We are young in love, young in love, young and in love
You and me, we can see, time will stand still
If we stay young in love, young in love, young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love (oh, oh)
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love (oh, oh)
We'll turn it up
Play the music loud so we can sing along
And teach me all the words to your favorite songs
We can make this moment last all summer long (ooh)
Explosions in the sky, I see colors fly
It's like the Fourth of July in your eyes (eyes)
Old enough, old enough, old enough to know that
We are young in love, young in love, young and in love
You and me, we can see, time will stand still
If we stay young in love, young in love, young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love (oh, oh)
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love (oh, oh)
And you break my walls down (coming down)
'Cause you make me fall apart in a good way
In a good way (in a good way)
Old enough, old enough, old enough to know that
We are young in love, young in love, young and in love
You and me, we can see, time will stand still
If we stay young in love, young in love, young and in love
Yeah, we are young and in love (old enough, old enough)
Yeah, we are young and in love (old enough to know that we are)
Yeah, we are young and in love (young in love, young in love, young and in love)

Hey Kid
Okay, okay
Hey kid
Hey kid
Don't go too far
I can't protect you when you're shooting like a star
These hours and this heart
They are the only things that I have left to give
Hey kid
At the end of fairy tales (where do we go?)
Into sunsets in the west (that's where we'll go)
Hold my hand (hold my hand)
And promise you won't let go again
Hold my hand (hold my hand)
And promise you won't let go of me again
Hey kid
Hey kid
Breathe out and in
We've got to make it to the end so we can begin
Glad to be alive, to get it right
I want to take you in my arms and hold you too tight
Hey kid
At the end of fairy tales (where do we go?)
Into sunsets in the west (that's where we'll go)
(Go)
Hold my hand (hold my hand)
And promise you won't let go again
(Tell me, won't you hold my hand?)
Hold my hand (hold my hand, let you hold my hand)
And promise you won't let go of me again
And I need you more than you need me
You got magic in your bones
You are poetry
You are poetry to me
You are poetry
You are poetry to me
(You are poetry to me)
(You are poetry to me)
Hold my hand (let you hold, tell me, won't you hold me hand?)
And promise you won't let go again (you are poetry to me)
Hold my hand (won't you hold, tell me, won't you hold my hand?)
And promise you won't let go of me again (go of me again)

Don't let go of me again (you are poetry to me)
(Won't you hold, tell me, won't you hold my hand?)

Hate You
I wish that I could fall asleep at night
Instead of wondering why I never get it right
So much swirling up inside my head
Of what I didn't do or what I should have said
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
2 AM then 3 AM then 4 (ooh)
I'll never sleep again, not like I did before
You're the living nightmare that I always dream about
I can't seem to live without you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
God, I want to
Want to hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
I don't hate that you call the love, "Bullshit"
When you were drunk that night (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I don't hate how much I love you
I don't hate that I cry
And I don't know why oh, why oh, why
(Why oh, why oh, why) I don't hate you
(Why oh, why oh, why) I just hate how much I don't hate you
And I don't hate that I cry (why oh, why oh, why)
God, I want to (oh why, oh why, oh why)
Want to hate you (why oh, why oh, why)
I just hate how much I don't hate you
(Oh, I hate how much I don't hate you)
I just hate how much I don't hate you
(Hate how much I don't hate you)
I just hate how much I don't hate you
(Hate how much I don't hate you)
I just hate how much I don't hate you
Instead of wondering why I never get it right
So much swirling up inside my head
Of what I didn't do or what I should have said
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
2 AM then 3 AM then 4 (ooh)
I'll never sleep again, not like I did before
You're the living nightmare that I always dream about
I can't seem to live without you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
God, I want to
Want to hate you
I just hate how much I don't hate you
I don't hate that you call the love, "Bullshit"
When you were drunk that night (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I don't hate how much I love you
I don't hate that I cry
And I don't know why oh, why oh, why

Jealous
Landmines all over this town
I'm living in a haunted house
'Cause everything's reminding me of you
Hurts bad seeing you out
Knowing that you're happy now
You're laughing like the way we used to do
I feel it rising in me
I feel the tide pulling deep
I never knew I could be so
Mad at the one that I love, no
Oh, oh
I do bad things when I'm jealous
I do bad things, I can't help it, I can't help it
It's what you're doing to me, ruining me
Turning me inside out
It's what you're doing to me, ruining me
Turning me upside down
Yeah, I do bad things when I'm jealous
And I'm jealous a lot
I see the devil in me
Saying what I wanna hear
Telling me it's time to interfere
I feel it rising in me
I feel the tide pulling deep
I never knew I could be so
Mad at the one that I love, no
Oh oh
I do bad things when I'm jealous (and I'm jealous)
I do bad things, I can't help it, I can't help it

I can't help it (a lot), I get jealous (a lot)
I can't help it (a lot), I get jealous (a lot)
I can't help it (a lot), I get jealous (a lot)
I can't help it (a lot), I get jealous
I used to be so sweet
Now I see a change coming over me
You're breaking my heart
I knew from the start that you'd be the end of me
I do bad things when I'm jealous (and I'm jealous)
I do bad things, I can't help it, I can't help it
It's what you're doing to me, ruining me
Turning me inside out
It's what you're doing to me, ruining me
Turning me upside down
I do bad things when I'm jealous (and I'm jealous)
(I get jealous, I do bad)
I do bad things, I can't help it, I can't help it

Missing You
He's got his hands in all the right places
But the wrong face is in front of me
I close my eyes and see you so clearly
But you're not here and it's killing me
And I don't wanna be dramatic
But your, but your lips are like a drug and I'm an addict
And I can feel you through the static
We're electric, don't you get it? We're so automatic
You're in my head again
I can't get you out
I try but you just never move
I'm in his bed again
Feeling like a stranger
When he's kissing me, I'm missing you
Kissing me, I'm missing you
He's kissing me, I'm missing you
Kissing me, I'm missing you
You lay beside me in my bedroom
Never made a move but I wanted to
You sleep and I stared at the ceiling
Counting my feelings, they were all for you
And I can feel you through the static
We're electric, don't you get it? We're so automatic
You're in my head again
I can't get you out
I try but you just never move
I'm in his bed again
Feeling like a stranger
When he's kissing me, I'm missing you
Kissing me, I'm missing you
He's kissing me, I'm missing you
Kissing me, I'm missing you
So take me in your arms
Tell me all your secrets in the dark
I don't wanna fake it anymore
And I don't wanna be dramatic
You're in my head again
I can't get you out
I try but you just never move
I'm in his bed again
Feeling like a stranger
When he's kissing me, I'm missing you
Kissing me, I'm missing you
(You're in my head)
He's kissing me, I'm missing you
(In my head again)
Kissing me, I'm missing you
(You're in my head)
He's kissing me, I'm missing you

Kissing me, I'm missing you
Kissing me, I'm missing you

Best Friend
Wide awake, I lay beside you
It's in the middle of the night
Now I really want to
Wake you up, tell you my secret
That you're the only one I want
I don't wanna mess this up
I don't wanna say too much
It always gets too real when I tell them how I really feel
Here I go again, falling in love with my best friend
Try to hold it in, but you're making it hard, hard to pretend
Your touch is electric, I'm so obsessed
I die when you say my name, mm
Here I go again, falling in love, love with my best friend
Right away, I knew I liked you
You seemed so cool, I didn't even have to try to
Your stupid laugh, the way you flirt
The way you look so good in my old T-shirt
I don't wanna mess this up
I don't wanna say too much
Here I go again, falling in love with my best friend
Try to hold it in, but you're making it hard, hard to pretend
Your touch is electric, I'm so obsessed
I die when you say my name, mm
Here I go again, falling in love, love with my best friend
I keep my mouth shut tight
'Cause I won't want to lose what's not even
I keep my mouth shut tight
'Cause I won't want to lose what's not even mine
Here I go again (ah)
Falling in love with my best friend (what's not even mine)
Try to hold it in, but you're making it hard, hard to pretend
(What's not even mine)
Your touch is electric, I'm so obsessed
I die when you say my name, mm
Here I go again, falling in love, love with my best friend
It's in the middle of the night
Now I really want to
Wake you up, tell you my secret

Mother
Mother, oh mother
Is it time to wake up yet?
I know I'm not ready
Mother, oh mother
Is it time to let go now?
I know I'm not ready
Something in the woods is coming close enough to hear
If I close my eyes, will I disappear?
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can see you
Let's just stay asleep
(Ooh)
Mother, oh mother
Do I have to come in now?
Is the day almost over?
Mother, oh mother
Do I have to move on now?
Is this almost over?
Someone said the sky is falling, tell me, is it true?
Everything's alright when I'm with you
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can hear you
Let's just stay asleep
"Just close my eyes"
You said, you said
"Just close my eyes"
"Just close my eyes"
You said, you said
"Just close my eyes"
(Ah-ooh)
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can feel you
Let's just stay asleep
Let's stay asleep
(Ah-ooh)
Is it time to wake up yet?
I know I'm not ready
Mother, oh mother
Is it time to let go now?
I know I'm not ready
Something in the woods is coming close enough to hear
If I close my eyes, will I disappear?
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can see you
Let's just stay asleep

Mother, oh mother
Do I have to come in now?
Is the day almost over?
Mother, oh mother
Do I have to move on now?
Is this almost over?
Someone said the sky is falling, tell me, is it true?
Everything's alright when I'm with you
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can hear you
Let's just stay asleep
"Just close my eyes"
You said, you said
"Just close my eyes"
"Just close my eyes"
You said, you said
"Just close my eyes"
(Ah-ooh)
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can feel you
Let's just stay asleep
Let's stay asleep
(Ah-ooh)

Christmas Lights
You're not here, but you're here
I can still hear your call
Like a faraway bird, trapped inside of the wall, ooh
Breathing in, breathing out
It's all that I can do
And I'm dreaming at night
I'm just dreaming of you, ooh
So it's Christmastime again
Apart, but yet together
You know I'll always look for you
From now until forever
And I promise I'll make things right
But until then, I will talk to you through the Christmas lights
I just wait by the phone
'Cause I know you'll call back
And this home's not a home
All the walls start to crack, ooh
Should I stay? Should I go?
I'm so lost without you
I'm unraveling now
Like a thread, pulling through, ooh
So it's Christmastime again
Apart, but yet together
You know I'll always look for you
From now until forever
And I promise I'll make things right
But until then, I will talk to you through the Christmas lights
[Instrumental]
So it's Christmastime again
Apart, but yet together
You know I'll always look for you
From now until forever
And I promise I'll make things right
And I promise I'll make things right
I promise I'll make things right
But until then, I will talk to you through the Christmas lights
I can still hear your call
Like a faraway bird, trapped inside of the wall, ooh
Breathing in, breathing out
It's all that I can do
And I'm dreaming at night
I'm just dreaming of you, ooh
So it's Christmastime again
Apart, but yet together
You know I'll always look for you
From now until forever
And I promise I'll make things right
But until then, I will talk to you through the Christmas lights
I just wait by the phone
'Cause I know you'll call back
And this home's not a home
All the walls start to crack, ooh
Should I stay? Should I go?
I'm so lost without you
I'm unraveling now
Like a thread, pulling through, ooh
So it's Christmastime again
Apart, but yet together
You know I'll always look for you
From now until forever
And I promise I'll make things right
But until then, I will talk to you through the Christmas lights
[Instrumental]
So it's Christmastime again
Apart, but yet together
You know I'll always look for you
From now until forever
And I promise I'll make things right
And I promise I'll make things right
I promise I'll make things right
But until then, I will talk to you through the Christmas lights

Pretty
I'm done spinning 'round and 'round
Planting my feet in the ground
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid to get hurt
Head above the clouds
Mama, come look at me now
I'm not afraid of the world
I'm gonna fight like a girl
Running around with my long hair
Tearing my dress, and I don't care
If, if you're looking for something beautiful
I'm pretty sure that I'm all good
Walking away from you like I should
Washing it all away
I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good
Rosy cheeks and lips
She talks, but nobody listens
That's just the way of the world
I gotta fight like a girl
Running around with her long hair
Tearing her dress, and she don't care
If, if you're looking for something beautiful
I'm pretty sure that I'm all good
Walking away from you like I should
Washing it all away
I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good
Sure in my own skin
Again and again and again
I am my everything
I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good
I'm pretty
I'm pretty much a mess
But I'm pretty good
I'm gonna fight like a girl
I'm pretty sure that I'm all good
Walking away from you like I should
Washing it all away
No, I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty goddamn good
Sure in my own skin
Again and again and again
Am I everything
No, I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good
Planting my feet in the ground
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid to get hurt
Head above the clouds
Mama, come look at me now
I'm not afraid of the world
I'm gonna fight like a girl
Running around with my long hair
Tearing my dress, and I don't care
If, if you're looking for something beautiful
I'm pretty sure that I'm all good
Walking away from you like I should
Washing it all away
I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good
Rosy cheeks and lips
She talks, but nobody listens
That's just the way of the world
I gotta fight like a girl
Running around with her long hair
Tearing her dress, and she don't care
If, if you're looking for something beautiful
I'm pretty sure that I'm all good
Walking away from you like I should
Washing it all away
I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good
Sure in my own skin
Again and again and again
I am my everything
I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good
I'm pretty
I'm pretty much a mess
But I'm pretty good
I'm gonna fight like a girl
I'm pretty sure that I'm all good
Walking away from you like I should
Washing it all away
No, I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty goddamn good
Sure in my own skin
Again and again and again
Am I everything
No, I'm not just pretty
No, I'm pretty damn good

Take Me Home
Remember being young
Like a flavor on the tongue
Or summers in the woods
Mom sets the table
And Dad flips through the cable
Boy, I had it good
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Growing up too fast
Like a New York City taxi
Kissing in the backseat
Only in a dream
Can I go back and see
The lost come back to life
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Oh, it breaks my heart
To know I can't go back in time
And feel those feelings for forever
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home, hmm
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
(Oh, it breaks my heart)
Take me home somehow, take me home
(To know I can't go back in time)
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
(And feel those feelings for forever)
Take me home somehow
Like a flavor on the tongue
Or summers in the woods
Mom sets the table
And Dad flips through the cable
Boy, I had it good
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Growing up too fast
Like a New York City taxi
Kissing in the backseat
Only in a dream
Can I go back and see
The lost come back to life
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Oh, it breaks my heart
To know I can't go back in time
And feel those feelings for forever
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home, hmm
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
Take me home somehow, take me home
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
(Oh, it breaks my heart)
Take me home somehow, take me home
(To know I can't go back in time)
Turn me inside out, turn me upside down
(And feel those feelings for forever)
Take me home somehow
