You On Repeat by Melodie Yvonne

I loved your heart there from the start but soon we came undone
We drank and raged most every day until it wasn’t fun
But if we could erase history and relive it all again
I’d rewind every second and replay until the end

I’d follow you around the world just hoping for a glimpse
My butterflies would flip-flop at the thought of just a chance
But this time I’d say all those words I never got to say
I’d be walkin’ right behind you ‘stead of walkin’ right away

If we could erase history and relive it all again
I’d rewind every second and replay until the end
I’d dance through all the good times and I’d sway through every heartache
Then I’d put you on repeat so we’d still be together always

I wouldn’t run from thunderclouds that never even rained
I’d open my umbrella and I’d shield you from the pain
I wouldn’t need to say those words I never got to say
‘Cause I’d follow you down Main with love written across my face

If we could erase history and relive it all again
I’d rewind every second and replay until the end
I’d dance through all the good times and I’d sway through every heartache
Then I’d put you on repeat so we’d still be together always

Come Back Home by Melodie Yvonne

How can it be over when it never really started?
But if it’s still not over how come I’m here brokenhearted?
How could you just leave me in the spotlight all alone?
I would give up every second if you just would come back home

How can it be over when I never said goodbye?
Where did all that love go that I saw inside your eyes?
How can you just walk away from all we made together
The first second that you saw a bit of tumultuous weather?

How can it be over I will never really know
Somehow I knew you’d leave but I still can’t believe you’d go
I said I wanted nothing but I guess I must’ve lied
‘Cause all I can do since you left is just sit around and cry

How can it be over when it never did begin?
If something’s got no start then how the hell’s it got an end?
I don’t know if it’s your fault or it’s my fault I’m alone
But I’d give up every second if you just would come back home

We Are All by Melodie Yvonne

We are all broken
But we are all fixed
We are all patched up
But our parts are all mixed

We are all happy
But we are all sad
We are all apathetic
But we are all mad

We are all glued together
But we’re all torn apart
We’ve all been in love
But we’ve had broken hearts

We are all all for one
Yet we’re all so alone
But we’d still have each other
If you’d just come home

Taking A Swim by Melodie Yvonne

Swimming in a sea of endless negativity
I’m drowning
Crying and praying for just a breath of air
Wishing you had dug a little just until you found me
But I had to save myself ‘cause you weren’t there

Clawing my way out of all this self-inflicted doubt
gets harder
How does it hurt more each passing day?
Filled with deep regret for all the things I don’t confess
And all this pain inside me just won’t go away

I try to wear a smile but it only lasts a while
I’m fakin’
Hidin’ in these walls that just get higher
Finally get some air but feel like no one really cares I waste it
Usin’ it as fuel to fan my fire

Swimming in a sea of endless negativity
I’m drowning
Crying and praying for just a breath of air
Wishing you had dug a little just until you found me
But I had to save myself ‘cause you weren’t there

Swimming in a sea of endless negativity
I’m drowning
Crying and praying for just a breath of air
Wishing you had dug a little just until you found me
Now I’m tryin’ to save myself ‘cause you’re not here

Passin’ Time by Melodie Yvonne

Everything is quiet in this big old empty house
Just the ticking of the clock echoes my heart
There’s a cold draft creepin’ in that chills me right down to the bone
And I’m wondering how things ever got so far

I don’t know what I’ll do to get through these long chilly winter nights
Don’t know how I’m gonna make it here alone
Don’t know how I’m gonna get through these cold January days
Without the hope of us to keep me goin’

Everything’s so quiet in this big old empty house
There’s nothing here to drown my yappin’ brain
It’s just a mess of maybes, how comes, what if‘s, and a couple why’s
That are dancin’ ‘round and driving me insane

I don’t know how I’m gonna keep together this old crumpled mess
Not sure how I’m gonna get you off my mind
How I’m gonna make it now is anybody’s guess
And now this life just feels like passin’ time

I don’t know what I’ll do to get through these long chilly winter nights
Don’t know how I’m gonna make it here alone
Don’t know how I’m gonna get through these cold January days
Without the hope of us to keep me goin’
