Shooting the video for “Sugar” at the iconic Coney Island in Brooklyn, NYC.

BORDERLINE

I can feel your heart I feel it beating all the time

Can you feel mine

Come across that borderline

Come on

Way down South under sweet gum tree

My baby told me that he loves me

Big brown eyes and he makes me sweat

The boy hasn't even kissed me yet

One day down by the Ponchatrain 

I swear I heard the wind calling, calling my name

Could you believe it was my lover boy

His sweet song makes such a happy noise

He was singing Hey 

I can hear him calling my name

Baby, baby yea

Can you hear it, can you hear it

Hey yeah

My lover calls me out he says 

Baby


sugar

College girl dropped out of school

Come home breaking all the rules

Couldn't get you off my mind


If they saw what I saw

In your love so true and raw

They'd be scared of what they saw


But if you want it honey we can make it right tonight

And if you taste it baby we can make it


You can have my sugar sugar sugar sugar

Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar sugar

Wanna give it to you

If you want me to



I told you of my dream

Pleading oh what does it mean

You knew what I was after


You sat down on my couch

I was staring at your mouth

You knew just what I was after


prison cells

We can't go out without making mischief 

You say why don't we just have all the fun there is

When we get ready, destroy small villages

It's not our fault that they didn't fireproof their shit


Oh when we go we can stay all night 

Drink you out of house and home we might


We'll be singing til they incarcerate us

You know we're bound to get pinched one of these fucked up days

We'll be dancing on top of shotgun shells 


When they lock us up we'll be singing in our prison cells, Prison cells, prison cells


You are the only other me

And I'm the only other you that we have ever seen

Oh aren't you pretty all dressed up that way

I'm just enough of a mess to keep them all at bay


If you ever need me I'll come running, oh yes I will, yes I will


mama knows

Mama said good things come free

Do what you can, be what you need

We never had much but we figured it out

When you've got nothing, there's nothing to bitch about


She would say Oh, oh don't hit me with your stuff 

Say you got money, you got something

Oh, oh just hit me with your love

You ain't got love, you ain't got nothing


No shit your life is hard

It's an easy Sunday when you know who you are

Ain't no shortcut gonna bring you peace

But your Mama knows just what you need 


It's So Sweet

If you don't know by now, you better go ask your Mama



disappear


The day I was born I was 20 feet tall

You could see my face from heaven 

A woman of lore to rule them all

And then I met you


And I gave it up

I gave you my all

I lost myself

I grew down


Why don't you take all of me

Til there's nothing left at all

The part of me you can see

Is getting small

Watch me disappear

Watch me disappear 

I lose a little more every day

But I'm watching as you're getting stronger

I've been reduced to featherweight

But I hold on


In spite 

I think I might die

Tonight

I'll float up to the sky

I used to wake the sunshine

When I opened up my eyes

You used to love me in the moonlight

Now the moon don't even rise 


DON’T BE JEALOUS

There must be somebody to keep me company

Another voice to drown out the lonely

The van to the venue to the van to the bed

And you just gotta laugh at what the boys in the band said


I see you staring out the corner of your eye


Don't be jealous 

It's just me and the fellas

Don't be jealous 

It's just me and the fellas


Uh huh


We've seen the ends of I80

From Joliet to Salt Lake City

Sebastopol to Durango 

I better put my foot down ain't got no turbo


Uh huh


You bring it to the middle bring it to the edge

If you want to sip a little something let it go to your head, go on

We work it harder every extra mile

There's gotta be 30,000 reasons why a girl should smile


Every road

Front seat windows down and you rolling on my mind

Thinking about last week when your hand was on my thigh 

If you got another woman better keep her next to you  

I wanna tell my crew about it if you keep doin what you're doin


Cause I, I can't slow it down

And I wanna drive you around


Don't you even worry 'bout it

Tell me where you wanna go

I'll navigate the road

Don't think twice about it 

Baby you can let it go

I know every road

Every road

Every road


First time I caught your scent I fell right through the floor

Glued to every movement tell me what you want me for 

Never thought I'd see you look at me that way 

I long to see it up and down these back highways


 

All I need is you tonight

If you wanna go 

I'll drive

I'll drive


we need a love

People can't wait to find perfection

They just want what they get right now

It's clearly a waste of time

I can't see what I'm doing wrong til I'm 

Crying all alone on my kitchen floor

Come see me when I fly


But you've been waiting here so long

For me to muddle through this song

Take my time


We need a love to last forever 

So we will never die, die, die


So scared to live but too young to go

A child of children who will never know

How lonely they designed my heart

Gotta be something to get me through

How 'bout a love that lives for truth 

If only I could be so smart 


But you've been waiting here so long

For me to muddle through my song

But I take my time


We need a love to last forever 

So we will never die, die, die

I need a song that I'll remember

That love is just a lie, lie, lie


Well maybe it could outlast us

When your bones and your hearts turn to dust 

Afraid of the darkness beyond your breath

But your love is stronger than your death 


cold blooded

Nobody gets me going

Not since that first time no

Once is enough if you go by

My timeline

In the evening there's no porch light shining 

I'm not waiting for someone to try and turn me on

There ain't nobody 

Ain't nobody  

Cause I'm cold blooded

When the earth was shaking

Only time that I was not faking

I only know retreating 

But old soup it just needs some reheating

I was left to freeze here

And I know I know I know I can't be pleased here

There ain't nobody 

Ain't nobody

Cause I'm cold blooded

Cold blooded





catch me if you can

Got you searching high I'm feeling so low

Past the river's mile the mountain shadow

If you get too close we're gonna find out

If we both can breathe where we hide out

I will do my best to run you all night

I could stay right here but I can't sit tight

I could make you wait but I don't want to

There's no one above you

Catch me if you can

I'm falling

If you can

I'll be right here waiting

If you can

I'm falling

If you can

I can bait you with my breath that needs you 

Just don't bite the hand that feeds you

I don't want to hold out on my lover

I can't breathe when I'm without you

 

Got you searching high I'm feeling so low

Past the river's mile the mountain shadow

I can't wait to set you free

You searched the whole world and found me
