JOJI - BALLADS 1 Album Lyrics

Girl, would it kill you just to throw a little bit of attention?
If I hurt you, I'm afraid God's gonna teach me a lesson
Now would you hate me if I said goodbye
So quick you could eat my dust?
Now would you hate me if I run like hell
In the wind from dawn 'til dusk?
When you cry, you waste your time
Over boys you never liked

Can you not be so obvious?
So keep it light
So keep it light

Now, I thought I'd vocalized my traumas
But nobody will listen, hm
I know I'm cryptic and I'm weird
That shit comes off as indifferent, hm
I don't wanna die so young
Got so much to do
I don't smile for the camera
Only smile for you
Smile for you

Now would you hate me if I said goodbye
So quick you could eat my dust?
Now would you hate me if I ran like hell
In the wind from dawn 'til dusk?
When you cry, you waste your time
Over boys you never liked
Can you not?

I don't want a friend (just me)
I want my life in two (just want my life)
Just one more night
Waiting to get there
Waiting for you (all night)
I'm done fighting all night (waiting for you)

When I'm around slow dancing in the dark
Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms
You have made up your mind
I don't need no more signs
Can you?
Can you?

Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see?
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark
Dark

When you gotta run
Just hear my voice in you (my voice in you)
Shutting me out of you (shutting me out of you)
Doing so great (so great, so great)
You

Used to be the one (used to be the one)
To hold you when you fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall)
I don't f*ck with your tone (I don't f*ck with your tone)
I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home)
Can it be one night?
Can you?
Can you?

Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see?
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark
Dark
In the dark
Dark

She don't wanna tell lies (she don't wanna tell lies)
She don't wanna tell lies (she don't wanna tell lies)
She just wanna feel alive (she just wanna feel alive)
She just wanted more time (she just wanted more time)
I'm looking for a long ride (looking for a long ride)
She just want a test drive (she just want a test drive)
Now you on the west side (now you on the west side)
I'll see you in the next life (see you in the next life)

What do you want, babe? (What do you want, babe?)
I don't like when you taunt me (I don't like when you taunt me)
You've been calling the wrong line (you've been calling the wrong line)
I say who do you want, babe? (Who do you want, babe?)
I'm working on my name (working on my name)
I'm hoping you do the same (do the same)
You got me afraid again (got me afraid again)
So let me just pray again (so let me just pray again)

You're gonna jump through hoops
Know how many lines you drew
No matter when you lose
Everything I've done for you

She don't wanna tell lies
She don't wanna tell lies
She just wanna feel alive
She just wanted more time
I'm looking for a long ride
She just want a test drive (what do you want, babe?)
Now you on the west side (what do you want, babe?)
I'll see you in the next life (who do you want, babe?)

Waiting on a sacrificial life
Waiting on the ones who didn't fight
I told you not to waste my f*cking time
I told you never sing that song you like

You're gonna jump through hoops
Know how many lines you drew
No matter when you lose
Everything I've done for you

She don't wanna tell lies (she don't wanna tell lies)
She don't wanna tell lies (she don't wanna tell lies)
She just wanna feel alive (she just wanna feel alive)
She just wanted more time (she just wanted more time)
I'm looking for a long ride (looking for a long ride)
She just want a test drive (she just want a test drive)
Now you on the west side (now you on the west side)
I'll see you in the next life (see you in the next life)

Here I am
Torn into a thousand shapes and folds
Torn into a thousand ways, I know (I know)
Fornicate inside your broken arms
Before I throw a smile your way, no more

I can't tell
If all my answers correlate at all
I'm telling you a thousand things, I know

I've been missing a long time
To know I had to move
I've been waiting my whole life
To know I wanted you
Are you feeling me slowly?
You can take your f*cking time
And I promise I won't lie
Make it out alive

I'm on trial
I'm not so good at hiding loathsome truths
You see it on my face when I turn blue
So punish me, I'm hanging on your noose
So pull me up so I can breathe with you

I know
I've been missing a long time
To know I had to move
I've been waiting my whole life
To know I wanted you
Are you feeling me slowly?
You can take your f*cking time
And I promise I won't lie
Make it out alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah

I can't get over you
I can't get over you
And before I die I'll pray that
I could be the one
That I could be the one
But I won't be no fun
If I can't have you, no one can

Highlights, in the limelight
Can you show me
To the nightlife?
Baby I like, all colors like
But I want you, and I don't know right (don't know right)

Tell me more, I got a box cutter with your name on it
Tell me more, I can't stay this long on the same topic
Don't know you, but would I fall in love with you?
I don't have no social cues
I'm all for you
Ayy

I can't get over you (yeah, ooh-ooh)
Can't get over you
And before I die I'll pray (yup)
That I could be the one
That I could be the one
But I won't be no fun
If I can't have you, no one can

I'ma f*ck up my life
I'ma f*ck up my life
I'ma f*ck up my life
I'ma f*ck up my life

I'ma f*ck up my life
I'ma f*ck up my life
We gon' party all night
She don't care if I die
Yeah, right, yeah, right
Yeah, I bet you won't cry
Yeah, I bet you won't try
But you know I don't mind
But you know I don't mind

Yeah right, yeah right
Yeah right, yeah right
Yeah right, yeah right

Yeah, you bet I know that she ain't
Never give a single f*ck about me
Yeah, you bet she know that we ain't
Never gonna be together, I see
Yeah, you bet I go to see you when
I'm feeling like a drum without a beat
Yeah, you dance so good
And I think that's kinda neat

What you know about love?
What you know about life?
What you know about blood?
Bitch, you ain't even my type
Yeah right, yeah right
Yeah, you know I feel right
Yeah, you living right now
You don't ever pick sides
Yeah right, yeah right
I'm overthinking my pride
But I don't gotta look nice
She just feelin' my ice
(She just feelin' my-)

Yeah, you bet I know that she ain't
Never give a single f*ck about me
Yeah, you bet she know that we ain't
Never gonna be together, I see
Yeah, you bet I go to see you when
I'm feeling like a drum without a beat
Yeah, you dance so good
And I think that's kinda neat

Girl, you choke me sitting airtight (airtight)
Ziploc right now (right now)
Will you let me win a fair fight?
Can't think right now
I can't lie, on my mind
I feel right, I feel right
I can't lie, on my mind
I feel right

I don't wanna live forever now, L.A.
I don't wanna live like that no more, L.A.
Only when we sleep
Promise that you'll keep
When you will never weep
Until you fail to breathe
Sleep tight, you were right all my life

Falling for your red eyes (red eyes)
Both dying right now (right now, right now)
Got me back on my old life
You're not my gal
You're not mine
You're not mine
You're not cool
You're not fine
I last lied
They ask why?
Like they can't die (they can't die)

I don't wanna live forever now, L.A.
I don't wanna live like that no more, L.A.
Only when we sleep
Promise that you'll keep
When you will never weep
Until you fail to breathe
Sleep tight, you were right all my life

Girl, you choke me sitting airtight
Ziploc right now
Will you let me win a fair fight?
Can't think right now
I can't lie, on my mind
I feel right, I feel right
I can't lie, on my mind
I feel right

Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun

F*ck my friends, they're gone
They all left one by one
And now that summer's done, they don't need no more fun
Ya, I drive around on my own
I'm rich, but my AC broke
Don't check no mail, no phone
And I tell them I'm not home

And I keep to myself
F*ck with no one else
And I know it's my fault but I don't care
And I keep to myself
Who are you to pretend?
And I know it's my fault
It will never end

Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun
I drive around on my own
Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun
All they do is nothin'
Yeah, all my friends no-
(No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun)

Ya, I can't get no sleep
I look so good in green
I run, I run, I run (I run, I run)
And I don't have no more dreams (ask me please)
I drive around on my own
I feel dead, but I feel my bones (my bones)
I hide out on my throne (my throne)
Open up, now my cover's blown
Yeah, now my covers blown
Yeah, now my covers blown
Oh, now my covers blown
Oh, now my covers

Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun
I drive around on my own
Yeah, all my friends no fu-
Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun
I drive around on my own
Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun
Yeah, all my friends no fun
All they do is sung
Yeah, all my friends no-

No fun, no fun, no-
No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun

Won't you come through? Water on me

We gon' walk right through

And I'm swimming like Nemo

No caller ID, no

You don't really like me, no

And I don't really like people

But you're better by default



No, red rocks so bright (so bright)

You can open your eyes

Hell all rise

Make you so blind (so blind)

With a thousand teeth, a Leviathan

Biting tightly on my wrist, it look like heaven

It weighs tightly on my neck until it breaks

If I lived too long you'd kill me with a stake

No mistake, no mistake, no mistake

The reflection never point the same way

Abba on repeat, yeah

Diamonds like a dancing queen

So



Won't you come through? Water on me

We gon' walk right through

And I'm swimming like Nemo

No caller ID, no

You don't really like me, no

And I don't really like people

But you're better by default



Won't you come through? Water on me

We gon' walk right through

And I'm swimming like Nemo

No caller ID, no

You don't really like me, no

And I don't really like people

But you're better by default

There's no more time
Just lay it on me
If I lost my life
You can blame it on me
Are you ready or not?
We can start right here
Take you on the rocks
So crystal clear

Oh, oh, oh
Are they talkin' 'bout us?
Are they talkin' 'bout us? Yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Are they talkin' 'bout us?
Are they talkin' 'bout us?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tryna find your love, put your love above
Baby, all we need is trust, no one know but us
No one know but us

F*ck around a bit and get it right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round

Cupid pass another my way (my way)
Another night, a lot more days (more days)
Hard to think about you anymore ('bout you anymore)
But I keep you in my mind always (always)
Called me on the phone last night (last night)
Couldn't hear your voice I fight (I fight)
I won't be around you anymore (around you anymore)
In a dream where you feel alone

I don't really wanna run around, yeah
Time is going slow and I don't mind, yeah

F*ck around a bit and didn't get it right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's alright (it's alright)
It's alright (it's alright)
If you were 22 forever, would be nice (would be nice)
Would be nice
Why you dare to take that away
I don't understand (I don't understand)
I could name a thousand different reasons you could fight (could fight)
All your might, I know I'm right

I could feel the change (feel the change)
The way you sing your song (the way you sing your song)
I could feel the waves (I could feel the waves)
You send from kingdom's sun (you send from kingdom's sun)

I will find a way
Ooh yeah

And I will love you
With my soul
You're all I've ever wanted
I know that I love you
Still driving
Take my hands in yours, please don't go
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I will find a way
I will find a way
