about

Wrote this for a friend at Berklee. I asked her to describe the complex relationship she was in with one word, and this is what she said. The rain in the background is real, haha.

lyrics

Boy next dorm
it's 230 in the morning
snatching little kisses
making me dream
i could have you
you made me want to

i knew it was love
cuz i had never felt it
a jumpstart to my chest
didn't know it was hell
that you would too soon
be putting me through

my heart may leap
but my stomach
is dropping

my worlds
been scrambled
or is it stopping

its painful x2

when you woke up the next day
just to say you loved somebody else
don't think you realized
what you did to my insides

maybe you were joking
maybe i didnt get it
because of that
embarrassed expression
didnt take too long for you
to regret me, did it

my heart may leap
but my stomach
is dropping

my worlds
been scrambled
or is it stopping

its painful x2

i decided to move on
this is my choice not my friends
or my families influence
chanting promises
that ill love again
an evening never had a chance
to change me
no morning breakup
could break me
so if thats what you wanted to see
then go
youre good at leaving

my heart may leap
but my stomach
is dropping

my worlds
been scrambled
or is it stopping

its painful x2
