School's Out
Bell just rang, I’m out the door
Bookbag hits the floor
Last test done, I earned my peace
Now I can breathe, now I can feast
Mama said, “Baby, go be free”
I said, “Watch me, let me be me”
Bare feet on the hot blacktop
Best day all year, and it don’t stop
Got my crew on the corner
Got my plans in the heat
Got that whole wide summer
Waiting on me
School’s out, school’s out
We gone all day
School’s out, school’s out
Let the good times play
(School’s out)
Sun on my face
(School’s out)
I’m in my place
Sidewalk chalk and a water gun fight
Ice cream melting in the afternoon light
Grandma’s porch with the fan on low
Radio spinning that old-school glow
Late-night games and a movie too
No alarm clock telling me what to do
Roll with the bikes till the sky turns gold
Summer got a grip on my soul
Got my crew on the corner
Got my plans in the heat
Got that whole wide summer
Waiting on me
School’s out, school’s out
We gone all day
School’s out, school’s out
Let the good times play
(School’s out)
Sun on my face
(School’s out)
I’m in my place
Hot summer days and water fun
Shooting hoops, video games won
Vacation trip, fun times in sight
Summer time starts tonight
School’s out, school’s out
Time for fun
School’s out, school’s out
We're finally done
(One more sleep)
Then its my time
(Class is over)
This time is mine

August Never Ends
Stay in my head
August never ends
Bare feet on the porch steps
Melted ice in the cup
Your laugh in the window
Pulling the whole day up
We marked the fence with chalk lines
Then watched them fade away
Still every little hour
Kept asking us to stay
The sky won't close
It just keeps on
Blue and gold
All afternoon long
Your hand in mine
Like it knows the way
And the whole wide world
Won't learn to say
August never ends
August never ends
We keep on running
Back to that bend
(Back to that bend)
August never ends
August never ends
Stay in my skin
Stay in my head
The pool got rough by dinner
The peaches dripped on our wrists
You drove with the windows down
Like you were chasing a wish
We slept in the same T-shirts
Salt on the collar seam
And every moth at the screen door
Looked like a piece of a dream
The sky won't close
It just keeps on
Blue and gold
All afternoon long
Your hand in mine
Like it knows the way
And the whole wide world
Won't learn to say
August never ends
August never ends
We keep on running
Back to that bend
(Back to that bend)
August never ends
August never ends
Stay in my skin
Stay in my head
If winter comes
Let it wait outside
We got sun in the jars
And a fire in our eyes
I hear your name
In the screen door slam
And I'm right back there
Where it all began
August never ends
August never ends
We keep on running
Back to that bend
(Back to that bend)
August never ends
August never ends
Stay in my skin
Stay in my head

Make Up Your Mind
You leave your jacket on my chair
Then disappear like you don’t care
Say “maybe” with that half-smile
Drive me crazy for a little while
You look my way, then turn away
Keep me hanging every day
I’m not a game on your phone
You can’t keep me on hold
So tell me now
What you want
Say it plain
Say it once
If it’s me
Then pull me close
If it’s not
Let me go
Make up your mind, girl
Make up your mind
Don’t keep me spinning
All the time
Make up your mind, girl
Say what you feel
One little answer
Keep it real
(make up your mind)
(make up your mind)
Your text comes through at half past ten
Then vanishes again and again
One blue tick, then silence
Got me reading all the comments
You call me when you’re lonely
Then act like you don’t know me
I’m right here, standing still
If you want me, then say you will
So tell me now
What you want
Say it plain
Say it once
If it’s me
Then pull me close
If it’s not
Let me go
Make up your mind, girl
Make up your mind
Don’t keep me spinning
All the time
Make up your mind, girl
Say what you feel
One little answer
Keep it real
(make up your mind)
(make up your mind)
I can’t read your silence
Like a secret code
If you want this,
let it show
One step forward
No more doubt
Either pull me in
Or take me out
Make up your mind, girl
Make up your mind
Don’t keep me spinning
All the time
Make up your mind, girl
Say what you feel
One little answer
Keep it real
Make up your mind, girl
Say it tonight
If you want forever
Say it right
(make up your mind)
(make up your mind)

Never Enough Time
Phone face down, still buzzing
Sink full of last night’s plates
I said “I’ll get to it” again
Now it’s too late
Your name still on my thumbprint
Mine still on your glass
I keep making little promises
That never seem to last
And every door I close
Turns into another mile
I’m running out of room
To call it “just for a while”
There’s just never enough time
Never enough time
I keep chasing the line
But it slips every time
There’s just never enough time
Never enough time
I’m living in the crack
Between “soon” and “sometime”
Train doors shut in my face
I’m two steps from the ride
Holding all these good intentions
Like change I can’t decide
The laundry cools, the message waits
The week eats up my day
I keep saying “next week, next week”
Then next week fades away
And every plan I make
Turns into another try
I’m learning what it means
To leave some pieces behind
There’s just never enough time
Never enough time
I keep chasing the line
But it slips every time
There’s just never enough time
Never enough time
I’m living in the crack
Between “soon” and “sometime”
Maybe that’s the trick
Maybe that’s the cost
Not to hold it all
Till the whole thing’s lost
So I call you back
I show up as I am
Even if I’m late
I’m still here in your hands
There’s just never enough time
Never enough time
I keep chasing the line
But it slips every time
There’s just never enough time
Never enough time
I’m living in the crack
Between “soon” and “sometime”

Young Love
You came in late, hair still wet
Smelled like rain and bubble gum
I was acting cool, I guess
But my heart went boom boom boom
Your laugh hit hard in the corner booth
Like a spark in a paper cup
I kept my eyes on your red shoes
Couldn’t look, couldn’t look up
And now my hands shake
When you say my name
Too close, too fast
But I want that flame
Young love, young love
Hold me like that
Young love, young love
We fall so fast
Young love, young love
Don’t make me wait
Young love, young love
Come my way
We wrote our names on the fogged-up glass
Then we wiped them clean with our sleeves
You said forever sounds too grown
I said maybe, maybe, please
Your jacket on my bedroom floor
Your song on my cheap cassette
We danced in circles by the door
Best mistake I never regret
And now my hands shake
When you say my name
Too close, too fast
But I want that flame
Young love, young love
Hold me like that
Young love, young love
We fall so fast
Young love, young love
Don’t make me wait
Young love, young love
Come my way
Ooh, you got me spinning
Ooh, no pretending
Say it again
Say my name
Young love, young love
(Young love)
Young love, young love
(Young love)
If this burns out bright
Let it burn tonight
If we crash and laugh
That’s alright, that’s alright
Young love, young love
Hold me like that
Young love, young love
We fall so fast
Young love, young love
Don’t make me wait
Young love, young love
Come my way
Young love, young love
(Young love)
Young love, young love
(Young love)

Rhythm Addict
I feel the spark when the beat comes alive,
Bassline hittin’ like a fast-drive midnight ride.
You pull me in with that groove so automatic,
Now I’m locked in tight — call me the rhythm addict.
Heartbeat syncin’ with the kick drum’s flow,
Every little move's got me losin’ control.
You got the vibe and I gotta have it,
Caught in your spell like a rhythm addict.
I’m a rhythm addict — can’t stop, won’t quit,
Feelin’ every pulse when the tempo hits.
Turn the lights down low, let the beat do magic,
You and me together — rhythm addict.
Slide in close, let the tempo rise,
Heat from the bass got me hypnotized.
Your touch, your groove — yeah, it’s automatic,
Feeding my craving — rhythm addict.
Every little sound keeps pulling me in,
Round and around, let it happen again.
One more beat and I gotta have it,
No cure for me — I’m a rhythm addict.
I’m a rhythm addict — can’t stop, won’t quit,
Feelin’ every pulse when the tempo hits.
Turn the lights down low, let the beat do magic,
You and me together — rhythm addict.
Give me that rhythm, rhythm,
Give me that beat.
Give me that rhythm, rhythm,
Moving through me.
I gotta have it, have it,
Every time it hits —
Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm addict.
Break it down slow, then bring it right back,
Snap to the beat like a hi-hat attack.
Lost in the moment, the night’s ecstatic,
No turning back — I’m a rhythm addict.
Can't stop...
Don't wanna stop...
Bass in my body,
Beat in my head,
One more time —
Do it again.
I’m a rhythm addict — can’t stop, won’t quit,
Feelin’ every pulse when the tempo hits.
Turn the lights down low, let the beat do magic,
You and me together — rhythm addict.
I’m a rhythm addict — give me one more hit,
Turn it up louder, wanna drown in it.
All night long and I gotta have it,
You know what I am — I’m a rhythm addict.
Give me that rhythm, rhythm,
Give me that beat.
Give me that rhythm, rhythm,
Moving through me.
I gotta have it, have it,
Yeah, I gotta have it...
Rhythm...
Rhythm...
Rhythm addict.

Spin Me Back
You walked in late with that grin
Got me spinning again
Red cup, black boots, green eyes
I forgot my own name
Your hand on my sleeve, that’s trouble
My head in a slow-motion bubble
You say one thing, I say two
Baby, what you do to me?
I’m trippin’, I’m trippin’
One look and I’m slipping
Don’t ask me where I’ve been
I been lost in your rhythm
Spin me back, spin me back
I’m dazed in your track (dazed in your track)
Spin me back, spin me back
You got that snap-back crash (snap-back crash)
Spin me back, spin me back
I can’t act normal now
Spin me back, spin me back
You got me spinning around
You laugh like you know the ending
I’m already forgetting
Cold drink, warm hand, that stare
Got me folded in half right there
Every word hits like thunder
Pulling my feet from under
I try to play it cool
But I’m lost when you move
I’m trippin’, I’m trippin’
One look and I’m slipping
Don’t ask me where I’ve been
I been lost in your rhythm
Spin me back, spin me back
I’m dazed in your track (dazed in your track)
Spin me back, spin me back
You got that snap-back crash (snap-back crash)
Spin me back, spin me back
I can’t act normal now
Spin me back, spin me back
You got me spinning around
Say my name, slow
Pull me close, don’t go
I’m not built for this kind of sweet chaos
One more smile and I’m gone
Spin me back, spin me back
I’m dazed in your track (dazed in your track)
Spin me back, spin me back
You got that snap-back crash (snap-back crash)
Spin me back, spin me back
I can’t act normal now
Spin me back, spin me back
You got me spinning around

One Last Shot
Hey man… I’m no quitter.
I don’t give up.
All I need is this one last shot.
Uh!
Come on now
One more time
Yeah
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
Had my dreams kicked around
Every door slammed in my face
But I’m still here, still in the race
Lost my rhythm, missed my cue
Made mistakes—more than a few
But there’s a fire I still got
So I’m giving it one last shot
I might stumble
I might fall
But I’m getting up
And giving my all
One last shot
I’m gonna give it everything I got
One last shot
I’m turning up the heat, making it hot
I’ve come too far to stop
I’m gonna take it to the top
Ready or not
I’m gonna give it one last shot
They said, “Quit, you’ve had your turn”
But every loss gave me something new to learn
Now I’m stronger, now I know
Sometimes the long way is the way to go
No more waiting, no more doubt
This time I’m gonna work it out
Put me under pressure—I won’t stop
I’m gonna give it one last shot
I might stumble
I might fall
But I’m getting up
And giving my all
One last shot
I’m gonna give it everything I got
One last shot
I’m turning up the heat, making it hot
I’ve come too far to stop
I’m gonna take it to the top
Ready or not
I’m giving it one last shot
One step back
Two steps strong
Shake it off
And move along
No looking down
No turning ’round
I hear that victory sound
Hey!
Give it what you got
Hey!
Give it what you got
If the road gets rough
I’ll keep rolling
If the door stays shut
I’ll keep knocking
I don’t need luck
I just need one
One more chance
To get it done
One last shot
I’m gonna give it everything I got
One last shot
I’m turning up the heat, making it hot
I’ve come too far to stop
I’m gonna take it to the top
Ready or not
I’m giving it one last shot
One last shot
Give it what you got
One last shot
Take it to the top
I’ve come too far to stop
Ready or not—
I’m giving it one last shot

Dance With You
Saw you by the wall
Cup in your hand
That half-smile hit me
I knew my plan
Your foot tapped once
Then twice with mine
I caught your eyes
And lost my line
Come a little closer
Don’t make me wait
The room keeps spinning
But I feel straight
Say it with your eyes
If you feel the same
One small step
And I’m already there
I just want to dance with you
Dance with you, dance with you
Pull me in and break the room
Dance with you, dance with you
One more song
One more move
I just want to dance with you
Dance with you, dance with you
Your hand found my wrist
Like it knew the road
We laughed too loud
Then let it go
That floor got small
When you got near
Every face around us
Faded clear
Come a little closer
Don’t make me wait
The room keeps spinning
But I feel straight
Say it with your eyes
If you feel the same
One small step
And I’m already there
I just want to dance with you
Dance with you, dance with you
Pull me in and break the room
Dance with you, dance with you
One more song
One more move
I just want to dance with you
Dance with you, dance with you
If the night runs out
We can stay right here
One more spin
One more cheer
You and me
No extra truth
Just that spark
And the beat between us too
I just want to dance with you
Dance with you, dance with you
Pull me in and break the room
Dance with you, dance with you
One more song
One more move
I just want to dance with you
Dance with you, dance with you

Hands Up Together
Sirens on the morning news
Kids got dreams, but they duck and choose
Corners split by a line in chalk
Moms still praying while the tankers talk
We got hurt too long on repeat
Too much pride in the human seat
One more rumor, one more tear
And the whole wide room disappears
I seen fists turn into ash
Seen a good day split too fast
If we keep on digging this grave
Ain't nobody left to save
So put your hand in mine
For one long night
We can change this tide
If we stand up right
Hands up together
Love one another
Hands up together
We rise through the weather
Hands up together
One world, one heart
Hands up together
Don't tear it apart (hey)
Same sun hitting every skin
Same blood under the grief we're in
Different tongues, same hungry cry
Same old fear in a different sky
I don't care what you call your home
If you bleed, you know you're not alone
If you lost your way in the crowd
Let a little love speak loud
No more poison in the name
No more winning by the blame
When the truth walk in, it don't need fame
It just says, "We the same"
So put your hand in mine
For one long night
We can change this tide
If we stand up right
Hands up together
Love one another
Hands up together
We rise through the weather
Hands up together
One world, one heart
Hands up together
Don't tear it apart (hey)
Let the angry talk fall down
Let the broken be held now
If the world feels too far gone
We can still be strong
Small prayers, big steps
Soft words, hard rep
Face to face, not apart
That's how we restart
Hands up together
Love one another
Hands up together
We rise through the weather
Hands up together
One world, one heart
Hands up together
Don't tear it apart (hey)
Hands up together
We can heal the storm
Hands up together
Keep each other warm (yeah)

You Don't Gotta Try
You showed up in that blue
Like you planned it all week
New shoes, perfect laugh
Trying hard to be sweet
You keep asking, "Do you like this?"
Girl, I already do
You keep reaching for a spark
But it’s already you
You don’t see it in my face
When you lean a little close
You keep looking for a sign
Like you need it most
But I’m right here, baby
Yeah, I’ve been right here
You don’t gotta try, try
I already like you
You don’t gotta try, try
I’m already on your side
Stop acting all shy, shy
You’re the one I’m after
You don’t gotta try, try
I already like you
You laughed too loud at my jokes
Then you looked away fast
Fixed your hair in the glass
Like the moment had passed
You keep sending little test lines
Trying to read my mind
But every little thing you do
Makes me fall more every time
You don’t see it in my face
When you lean a little close
You keep looking for a sign
Like you need it most
But I’m right here, baby
Yeah, I’ve been right here
You don’t gotta try, try
I already like you
You don’t gotta try, try
I’m already on your side
Stop acting all shy, shy
You’re the one I’m after
You don’t gotta try, try
I already like you
If you knew what I know
You’d stop changing up
You’d let that nervous little smile
Be more than enough
Come here, let me tell you
What your eyes don’t see
You had me from the start
So just be you with me
You don’t gotta try, try
I already like you
You don’t gotta try, try
I’m already on your side
Stop acting all shy, shy
You’re the one I’m after
You don’t gotta try, try
I already like you

Love at First Sight
Walked in, you turned my head
Red dress, white shoes, that stare
Time stopped on the checkered floor
You said hi, and I wanted more
Your laugh hit like a spark
Right there, shot straight through the dark
I tried to play it cool
But baby, you broke my rules
Now I’m leaning in
Can’t pretend
Every move you make
Pulls me back again
Say the word, I’m there
No fear, no games
One look from you
And nothing stays the same
It was love at first sight
It was love at first sight
One look, and I knew it right
It was love at first sight
Yeah, you lit my heart
Made a new start
It was love at first sight
(It was love at first sight)
Phone on silent, I still wait
For your name to light my day
Coffee gone cold on the side
Still got you running through my mind
You wear that smile so sweet
Knock me right off my feet
Every time you step in view
Feels like the world is brand new
Now I’m leaning in
Can’t pretend
Every move you make
Pulls me back again
Say the word, I’m there
No fear, no games
One look from you
And nothing stays the same
It was love at first sight
It was love at first sight
One look, and I knew it right
It was love at first sight
Yeah, you lit my heart
Made a new start
It was love at first sight
(It was love at first sight)
Baby, I don’t need proof
I know what I felt
One glance from you
And I lost myself
If this is a dream
Don’t wake me now
I found my forever
Somehow, somehow
It was love at first sight
It was love at first sight
One look, and I knew it right
It was love at first sight
Yeah, you lit my heart
Made a new start
It was love at first sight
(It was love at first sight)

Friday Night
Clock hits six, I’m out the door
Got her favorite candy from the corner store
Flowers on the seat, tryna play it smooth
Friday night, baby, I’m coming through
We can laugh till the whole room spins
Talk so long, let the whole night thin
Got that dress code, black on black
When you smile like that, I can’t act back
Slide close, let the worries fade
One slow song, then we’re on our way
I got plans, but I’ll let you choose
Anything you want, I’ll do with you
Friday night, all yours, all mine
Take my hand, let’s lose track of time
Friday night, don’t need a crowd
Just your smile and me, right now
Friday night, all yours, all mine
Close the world, leave the rest behind
Friday night, keep it light, keep it true
I’m gonna make it good for you
Dinner by the window, sharing fries
Your hand on mine, those electric eyes
Maybe we drive with the radio low
Maybe we dance where the old floors glow
If you want ice cream, we’re there in ten
If you want a slow walk, we’ll do it again
I’ll open doors, I’ll pull you in
Baby, this is where the fun begins
Slide close, let the worries fade
One slow song, then we’re on our way
I got plans, but I’ll let you choose
Anything you want, I’ll do with you
Friday night, all yours, all mine
Take my hand, let’s lose track of time
Friday night, don’t need a crowd
Just your smile and me, right now
Friday night, all yours, all mine
Close the world, leave the rest behind
Friday night, keep it light, keep it true
I’m gonna make it good for you
If the rain falls, we’ll stay in
Blanket on the couch, let the movie spin
If the moon’s out, we’ll chase that breeze
Either way, you’re the one for me
Friday night, all yours, all mine
Take my hand, let’s lose track of time
Friday night, don’t need a crowd
Just your smile and me, right now
Friday night, all yours, all mine
Close the world, leave the rest behind
Friday night, keep it light, keep it true
I’m gonna make it good for you

Booty Calls
You hit me when the clubs shut down
Name on my screen, then you pull up now
No small talk, just a “you around?”
I know that look, I know that sound
Door in the hall, keys in your hand
You got that grin like you got a plan
I should say no, but I know I can't
When you call late, I understand
You want that heat
I want that nerve
One little text
And I go first
You say my name
Like it's a key
I let it in
You do it to me
Booty calls, booty calls
You keep on ring-ring-ringing me
Booty calls, booty calls
Then you act like it's meant to be
Booty calls, booty calls
You know I pick up every time
Booty calls, booty calls
Late-night trouble on the line
Your jacket's hanging off my chair
Your shoes by the door, your scent in the air
You keep it casual, I play it fair
But you know this thing is never “just there”
You want the thrill, I want the game
We trade a spark, we trade a flame
No last names, just a saved-up name
Still you call me and I come plain
You want that heat
I want that rush
One little ping
And it's us
You say my name
Like it's a dare
I let you in
Again, I swear
Booty calls, booty calls
You keep on ring-ring-ringing me
Booty calls, booty calls
Then you act like it's meant to be
Booty calls, booty calls
You know I pick up every time
Booty calls, booty calls
Late-night trouble on the line
Maybe we should slow it down
Maybe we should say it out
But when you breathe that broken vow
I’m right back where I’m at now
Booty calls, booty calls
You keep on ring-ring-ringing me
Booty calls, booty calls
Then you act like it's meant to be
Booty calls, booty calls
You know I pick up every time
Booty calls, booty calls
Late-night trouble on the line

Dazed and Confused
Your shoes on my tile
Your keys in the bowl
You left a red stain
On the old wood floor
I asked what you wanted
You said, "Maybe more"
Then you laughed like a spark
And I lost the door
Now my head won't sit still
My hands won't behave
You keep turning the air
Into a wave
Dazed and confused
When you look at me
Dazed and confused
Like I forgot my name
Dazed and confused
And I don't want to leave
Dazed and confused
Say it again, baby
Half of your story
Was written in tea
The rest in the dents
On the side of your sleeve
You leaned on the counter
Like you owned the night
I tried to stay normal
But you tilted my mind
Now my head won't sit still
My hands won't behave
You keep turning the air
Into a wave
Dazed and confused
When you look at me
Dazed and confused
Like I forgot my name
Dazed and confused
And I don't want to leave
Dazed and confused
Say it again, baby
Don’t make me choose
Between calm and your fire
I came here for quiet
You came to take me higher
Dazed and confused
When you look at me
Dazed and confused
Like I forgot my name
Dazed and confused
And I don't want to leave
Dazed and confused
Say it again, baby

It Was Destiny
I saw you by the door
Then you said my name
Destiny in denim
Changed the whole game
You had that grin
Like you knew my script
One look at you
And my whole world flipped
You laughed like that
And my heart said, "whoa"
Every step you take
Got a pull I know
I tried to play it cool
Tried to act brand new
But the second you moved
I was pulled to you
It was destiny
Destiny, destiny
Girl, it was destiny
You were made for me
It was destiny
Destiny, destiny
Baby, you and me
That was destiny
You said, "What you want?"
I said, "You right there"
You twirled your hair
With that Friday stare
Room got loud
But I heard one thing
Your laugh on loop
Like a bell that rings
You laughed like that
And my heart said, "whoa"
Every step you take
Got a pull I know
I tried to play it cool
Tried to act brand new
But the second you moved
I was pulled to you
It was destiny
Destiny, destiny
Girl, it was destiny
You were made for me
It was destiny
Destiny, destiny
Baby, you and me
That was destiny
Tell me your sign
I already know
You and my name
Fit like old soul
No maybe, no chance
No maybe, no maybe
One sweet glance
And you claimed me
It was destiny
Destiny, destiny
Girl, it was destiny
You were made for me
It was destiny
Destiny, destiny
Baby, you and me
That was destiny

I Just Wanna Love You
I saw you leanin' on the door
In your worn-out jacket
Hair still damp from rain
Laughin' like you knew my name
You don't say much at first
But your eyes keep talkin'
I could read your mind
Like it was written on my sleeve
And I don't need a big idea
I don't need a grand parade
I just need you near me here
To make the whole world fade
I just wanna love you
Love you like you need
I just wanna hold you
Right where I can breathe
I just wanna love you
That's the only thing
I just wanna love you
Let my heart sing
(I just wanna love you)
Late train home, both quiet
Shoes by the entryway
You steal the softest smile
From the mess of my long day
Your hand finds mine like habit
Like it always belonged
And every little worry
Falls apart in my palms
And I don't need a big idea
I don't need a perfect line
I just need you looking back
Like you were always mine
I just wanna love you
Love you like you need
I just wanna hold you
Right where I can breathe
I just wanna love you
That's the only thing
I just wanna love you
Let my heart sing
(I just wanna love you)
If the world gets loud again
Let it spin outside
I'll be your quiet place
You'll be my peace tonight
No chasing, no proving
Just you and me in time
I found my forever
When your hand fit in mine
I just wanna love you
Love you like you need
I just wanna hold you
Right where I can breathe
I just wanna love you
That's the only thing
I just wanna love you
Let my heart sing
(I just wanna love you)
(I just wanna love you)

You Scare Me Good
Yeah
October night, something in the air
I ain't scared of nothing—
Well... almost nothing
Saw you walking underneath the moonlight
Black boots, red lips, looking too right
Everybody's dressed like somebody else
But girl, you don't need no costume help
You got me looking over my shoulder
Every time you get a little bit closer
I don't believe in things that go bump in the night
But my heart just did, and I think you're why
You got a trick up your sleeve
Got me wanting to believe
I don't know what you did
But you did it to me
You scare me good
Like I knew you would
Got my heart going bump, bump, bump
Like a heartbeat should
You scare me good
Girl, I'm knocking on wood
Call it wicked, call it magic
Call it misunderstood
I should run, but I won't
I should leave, but I don't
Got me under your spell
And it feels so good
Yeah, you scare me
You scare me good
You said, "Boo," and I nearly lost it
One little smile and you put me in a coffin
Okay, not really, but you get what I mean
You're the prettiest nightmare I've ever seen
My friends say, "Dude, that girl's trouble"
I said, "Cool, then make mine double"
If loving you's a haunted house
I'm buying tickets, let me in right now!
You got a trick up your sleeve
But you're looking like a treat
Got me losing my head
And I kinda like it
You scare me good
Like I knew you would
Got my heart going bump, bump, bump
Like a heartbeat should
You scare me good
Girl, I'm knocking on wood
Call it wicked, call it magic
Call it misunderstood
I should run, but I won't
I should leave, but I don't
Got me under your spell
And it feels so good
Yeah, you scare me
You scare me good
She's drop-dead gorgeous—
Okay, bad choice of words.
She's got killer looks—
Nope. That's worse.
She stole my heart
That's technically a crime
But it's Halloween, baby
So I'll let it slide
Trick or treat?
Treat.
Fight or flight?
Neither.
Run for my life?
Nah—
I'm running to see her.
Three...
Two...
One...
YOU SCARE ME GOOD!
Like I knew you would
Got the whole room jumping
Like a monster should
You scare me good
And I wish you would
Put another little spell on me
If you think you could
I should run, but I won't
I should leave, but I don't
If this is a nightmare
Don't wake me up
Yeah, you scare me
You scare me
You scare me good
[laugh]
Happy Halloween.

Night's On
Midnight rings, the school gates groan
Cold wind finds me walking home
Paper bats above the street
Something follows every beat
Mama said, “Don’t stay out late”
But I saw a face behind the gate
Pumpkin grin beneath the tree
Halloween is calling me
Got my crew by the corner
Got our candy in a sheet
Hear a tapping from the attic
Coming closer down the street
Night’s on, night’s on
Hide your eyes
Night’s on, night’s on
Hear those cries
(Night’s on)
Candles sway
(Night’s on)
Run away
Black cat balanced on the wall
Mansion bell begins to call
Candy wrapper, empty porch
Blue flame dancing by the torch
Grandma’s clock skips every chime
Hallway bends and loses time
I turn round, the door is gone
Then a little voice sings on
Got my crew by the corner
Got our candy in a sheet
Hear a tapping from the attic
Coming closer down the street
Night’s on, night’s on
Hide your eyes
Night’s on, night’s on
Hear those cries
(Night’s on)
Candles sway
(Night’s on)
Run away
Cobwebs hanging from the fan
Footprints cross the basement sand
Count to three, the floorboards knock
Something’s waiting by the clock
Night’s on, night’s on
No escape
Night’s on, night’s on
Hear it scrape
(Too late)
Candles sway
(Too late)
Run away
When the morning starts to rise
I still feel those button eyes
At the window, by the tree
Halloween is watching me
