Silence Between Songs Album Lyrics by Madison Beer

Spinnin

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah

Did the world stop spinnin'?
Nothing seems to change
I'm stuck at the beginning, and I'm in pain
Did the sun stop risin'?
'Cause the sky's so gray
Did the world stop spinnin' today?

I woke up, fell back to sleep
'Cause I'd rather live in my dreams
I lay here wonderin' why

Did the world stop spinnin'?
Am I frozen in time?
'Cause the birds stopped singin'
Are we flawed by design?
My heartbeat's racin' like a strange ballet
Did the world stop spinnin' today?

I woke up, fell back to sleep (sleep)
'Cause I'd rather live in my dreams (ah, ah, ah)
I lay here wonderin' why

Did the world stop spinnin' or did I?
The world has stopped spinnin'
The lights are all dimmin'
And ah-ah
The world has stopped spinnin'
The end is beginning, ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah

Will the world stop spinnin'?
Nothing seems to change
I'm stuck at the beginning, and I'm still in pain
Why'd the sun stop shinin'?
Why's the sky still grey?
Oh, the world stopped spinnin' today

Sweet Relief

Please leave, Godspeed
I can't be around you right now, don't speak
It's a problem, it's addictive, I need
You to listen to me, baby, listen to me

Take me high (take me high)
Lay me down (lay me down)
It's so reckless of me but this feeling is deeply profound

It's just something only we know
Baby, I can't help myself
I'm seeing you everywhere I go
I don't dream of anyone else
All I need, sweet relief
It's just something only we know
Something only we know

Can't eat, can't sleep
No, you're not making this easy on me
It's a problem that we're choosing to be
No, we won't let 'em see (no, we won't let 'em see)

Take me high (high)
Lay me down (lay me down)
It's so reckless of me but this feeling is deeply profound

It's just something only we know (we know)
Baby, I can't help myself
I'm seeing you everywhere I go
I don't dream of anyone else
All I need, sweet relief
It's just something only we know
Something only we know

Oh
Something only we know
Oh-oh-oh
Something only we know

All I need, sweet relief
It's just something only we know
Something only we know

Envy the Leaves

I envy the leaves
That grow from the trees
They're all so carefree
Through the seasons, unaware of the fall
If only I'd see (see)
It's quite easy to be (be)
A drop in the ocean, with no worries and no questions at all

Why don't we lie and
Act like the best is yet to come?
Why don't we try that
Just for once?

I envy the snow (snow)
How it's blissfully cold (cold)
The world around it is melting, and it still doesn't know
It could be so sweet (sweet, sweet)
If only I were naïve (naïve)
Enough to believe that I am happy, but still I'm not sold

Why don't we lie and
Act like the best is yet to come?
Why don't we try that
Just for once?

For once
For once
Why don't we try
Just for once?
Ooh
Ooh
Just for once

I envy the leaves
That grow from the trees
They're all so carefree
Through the seasons, unaware of the fall

17

Seventeen, I can't recall a thing
A cry for help, but no one's ever listening
My life moved faster than the speed of sound
Wish I could go there now
And slow down

Ain't it strange, how people tend to change?
I hope she knows that I would never blame her
'Cause all she did was all she knew

Oh, is it too late now, to slow down?

All my life I've never had the chance
To stop and smell the flowers (flowers)
All this time, I never got to sit
And dream away the hours

My memories, like black and white TV
And everybody says it'll be okay
Like life is just a game
But I don't wanna play

Twenty-one, it should've been so fun
Cherry red, I wish I had more time
This summer skin, it fades too quick somehow

Oh, is it too late now, to slow down?

All my life I've never had the chance
To stop and smell the flowers (flowers)
All this time, I never got to sit
And dream away the hours

My memories, like black and white TV
And everybody says it'll be okay
Like life is just a game
But I don't wanna play

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna

Ryder

Grew up in the same house
So I know why you lash out
Oh, I understand you
More than you think I do
Cracks in the windows
Castles and pillows
And all of the places
I built us to hide

I always left you out
You still loved me somehow
You just wanted a friend
Didn't know it then, but now I do
Our youth down the drain
And I'll take all of the blame
For all of the countless
Times that you cried

Just two kids caught in the crossfire
Close your eyes, I know you're so tired
Just kids, you and I, I know it's hard sometimes
But you'll be alright, and we'll be alright

All that's unspoken
All the years that were stolen
You are still in that house
I shouldn't have left you behind
And I fall to pieces
Sometimes all you need is
A shoulder to cry
And I'm lucky that you're mine

Just two kids caught in the crossfire
Close your eyes, I know you're so tired
Just kids, you and I, I know it's hard sometimes
But you'll be alright, and we'll be alright

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
We'll never change what time fades
Ah

Just two kids caught in the crossfire
Just close your eyes, I know you're so tired
Just kids, you and I, I know it's hard sometimes
But you'll be alright, and we'll be alright

Nothing Matters But You

I don't know how I survived, before I met you
Watching you through glassy eyes, sinking into blue

If you never stop me (stop me)
Then I'll just keep falling

Nothing matters but you, ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh)
Nothing matters but you, ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh)
Nothing matters but you
Make a girl think the world's only spinning for you (ooh)
Nothing matters but

You belong to me tonight
Hold me while I cry (hold me while I cry)
Swimming underneath moonlight
Taken by the tide (taken by the tide)

If you never stop me (stop me)
Then I'll just keep falling

Nothing matters but you, ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh)
Nothing matters but you, ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh)
Nothing matters but you
Make a girl think the world's only spinning for you (ooh)
Nothing matters but you, ooh-ooh-ooh
Nothing matters but you

I Wonder

I wonder why
All of the clouds cleared from the sky?
I wonder why
All of the tears dried from my eyes?
I woke up happy, watched the sun rise, -ise

I wonder why? I wonder why? (I wonder why? I wonder why?)

And now each breath of air is sweeter
Birds are singing, grass is greener
Suddenly, the world is bright again (the world is bright again and)
I used to live to die by somebody else's side
But now a new day breaks and I feel fine (I feel just fine)
I wonder why?

I wonder how
I felt so cold, it's summer now
I wonder how (I wonder how)
I ever learned to live in doubt
It's time the walls came tumbling down, -own

I wonder how? I wonder how? (I wonder how? I wonder?)

And now each breath of air is sweeter
Birds are singing, grass is greener
Suddenly, the world is bright again (the world is bright again and)
I used to live to die by somebody else's side
But now a new day breaks and I feel fine (I feel just fine)
I wonder why?

(Wonder why?) Each breath of air is sweeter
(I wonder why?) Birds singing, grass is greener
Why? Why?

At Your Worst

I taught myself to cry on cue
I close my eyes and think of you
It's not that hard for me to do
'Cause everything leads back to you

Oh, I know you got your reasons
You got your demons
But I hope I never hate myself
The way I know you hate yourself
It hurts to see you hurt
The ones who love you at your worst
I'm sorry you don't trust yourself
Enough to trust somebody else
It hurts to see you hurt
The only ones who love you at your worst

Oh-oh-oh, oh

I know it's sad (I know it's sad)
I miss you too (I miss you too)
You're turnin' red (turnin' red)
Oh, this isn't like you
But it's no excuse, for all the times
You broke my heart and made me cry

Oh, I know you got your reasons
You got your demons (your reasons)
But I hope I never hate myself
The way I know you hate yourself
It hurts to see you hurt
The ones who love you at your worst
I'm sorry you don't trust yourself
Enough to trust somebody else
It hurts to see you hurt
The only ones who love you at your worst

Oh-oh-oh, oh

But sometimes I still hate myself
The way you made me hate myself
It hurts to know I hurt
The ones who love me at my worst
I'm sorry I don't trust myself
Enough to trust somebody else
It hurts to know I hurt
The only ones who love me at worst

Showed Me (How I Fell In Love With You)

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
You walk into a room
And people fall for you
How I wanna be like you
Ohh, it's true
I'm gonna be like you

Everybody laughs
At all the things you say
It makes me wanna cry
Whenever you're away
The way you drive a car
With all the windows down
They always say your name
Even when you're not around

Seasons only change (ohh)
It's always been the same

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
You walk into a room
And people fall for you
How I wanna be like you
Ohh, it's true
I'm gonna be like you

I will be your fool
I come back every time
You always tell the truth
Even when you lie
I watch you from afar
You show me what to do
And all the games you play
Now I play all of them too

Seasons only change (ohh)
It's always been the same

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
You walk into a room
And people fall for you
How I wanna be like you
Ohh, it's true
I'm gonna be like you

Home To Another One

I know what I should say
"I don't think of you," but I do
Oh, I do, I do
Black car on the highway
Could've sworn I saw your face
Was it you? Was it you?

I still hear you

Call me, "Baby"
I know you go home to another one
Say you hate me
It's okay, boy, you're not the only one
Another year, we're still here
Call me, "Baby"
I know you go home to another one

Do you talk about me?
Like I still belong to you
Do you? Do you?
Now you hold her gently
Don't you wish you saw us through?
'Cause I do, I do

I still hear you

Call me, "Baby"
I know you go home to another one
Say you hate me
It's okay, boy, you're not the only one
Another year, we're still here
Call me, "Baby"
I know you go home to another one

I know you go home to another one
Another year, we're still here
Call me, "Baby"
I know you go home to another one

Dangerous

I remember you this way
Keep it safe inside my memory
But I've held you here for far too long
I wonder if you think of me
I'm still putting up a fight
While you're off and you're forgetting me
Never got the chance to tell our story
A tale as old as time

Where does it go, is it something I said? (Something I said)
Why am I alone in this bed?

Tell me the truth
What did I do? Look at me
Why can't I see? No it can't be this easy
To let me go
But if you say so, guess I make love
Too dangerous
Mhm

Right when I think I hate you
Something pulls me under like the tide
Even picked a house and chose our kids' names
You'd always be mine

Where did you go, is it something I said? (Something I said)
Why am I alone in this bed?

Tell me the truth
What did I do? Look at me
Why can't I see? No it can't be this easy
To let me go
But if you say so, guess I make love
Too dangerous

Ooh-ooh, I do

Tell me the truth
What did I do? Look at me
Why can't I see? No it can't be this easy
To let me go
Ooh

Reckless

Hey
This is a story I hate
And telling it might make me break
But I'll tell it anyway

This chapter's about
How you said there was nobody else
Then you got up and went to her house
You guys always left me out

I still have the letter you wrote when you told me
That I was the only girl you'd ever want in your life
I guess my friends were right

Each day goes by and each night I cry
Somebody saw you with her last night
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
You might love her now, but you loved me first
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are
Oh, you swore on every star
How could you be so reckless with my heart?

You check in and out
Of my heart like a hotel
And she must be perfect, oh well
I hope you both go to hell

I still have the letter you wrote when you told me
That I was the only girl you'd ever want in your life
I guess my friends were right

Each day goes by and each night, I cry
Somebody saw you with her last night
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
You might love her now, but you loved me first
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are
Oh, you swore on every star
How could you be so reckless with my heart?

Heart
How could you be so reckless?
How could you be so reckless?
How could you be so reckless with someone's heart?

Hey
This is a story I hate
But I told it to cope with the pain
I'm so sorry if you can relate

Silence Between Songs

You wanna know, the demons in my head
But you don't know, they're sleeping in your bed
I pop a pill to try and numb the pain
When it's just me and my brain
I medicate, that's what you made me do
My broken heart, and dreams in baby blue
The music fades and then I think of you

Oh, I never knew
That the silence between songs (songs)
Could ever be so lonely and so low
'Til I lost you

It's killing me, I know it's killing you
The violins are playing out of tune
I never sleep, just naked in my room

Oh, I never knew
That the silence between songs
Could ever be so lonely and so low
'Til I lost you

'Cause I can't be alone
With my thoughts
When the music stops
No, I can't turn it down
Tune them out
Don't know how

Oh, I never knew
That the silence between songs (songs)
Could ever be so lonely and so low
So listen close to the silence after this song

King Of Everything

Look at you go
Walking on everyone like stepping stones
Building a home
Made up of gold
Of people you hurt
Bridges to Hollywood you took then burned
I hope it was worth it
What you get, you'll deserve it

Easy come, easy go
Thought the view from the top would be different
In this stone cold bed that you made
Now you sleep alone in it

Baby, you're the king of everything
Building castles in the sand
That crumble in your hands (oh, oh)
Baby, you're the king of everything (oh-whoa, oh-oh)
And right now you're the man
But no one gives a damn
When the rain comes pouring down
To wash away your crown
You're the king of nothing now

Look what you've done
Taking advantage of people so young
Riding the highroad
On everyone's lows

Easy come, easy go
Thought the view from the top would be different
In this stone cold bed that you made
Now you sleep alone in it

Baby, you're the king of everything
Building castles in the sand
That crumble in your hands (oh, oh)
Baby, you're the king of everything (oh-whoa, oh-oh)
And right now you're the man
But no one gives a damn
When the rain comes pouring down
To wash away your crown
You're the king of nothing now
Now, now, now

Baby, you're the king of everything
Building castles in the sand
That crumble in your hands (oh, oh)
Baby, you're the king of everything (oh-whoa, oh-oh)
And right now you're the man
But no one gives a damn
When the rain comes pouring down
To wash away your crown
You're the king of nothing

When the rain comes pouring down
To wash away your crown
You're the king of nothing now
