Honey Baby by Melodie Yvonne

You understand without explaining
Vibes of comfort in the air
You spend no time complaining
Living life is all you care

You don’t accept the passionless
Surrounded by the mad
Each step in life’s a dance to you
The best you’ve ever had

You’re my end and my beginning
You’re the sun that lights my moon
You’re the cherry on my sundae
And the music in my tune

You’re the bass clef to my treble
You’re the worker in my bees
And I’m cravin’ me some honey
So hand it over baby please!

You’re everything I want to be
And not a penny less
You’re all the good I see in me
But minus all the mess

You’re everything I wanted
Though I really didn’t know
Now it’s too late for the taking
And your absence makes me grow

You’re my end and my beginning
You’re the sun that lights my moon
You’re the cherry on my sundae
And the music in my tune

You’re the bass clef to my treble
You’re the worker in my bees
And I’m cravin’ me some honey
So hand it over baby please!

This life is lived in rhythms
All dictated by the moon
And although the tide must leave now
It always comes back soon

So I guess I’ll sit in silence
Counting blessings while I wait
Longing for my honey baby
Playing trust games with my fate

You’re my end and my beginning
You’re the sun that lights my moon
You’re the cherry on my sundae
And the music in my tune

You’re the bass clef to my treble
You’re the worker in my bees
And I’m cravin’ me some honey
So hand it over baby please!

The World Spins On by Melodie Yvonne

Nobody here is right or wrong
And on and on the world spins on
You wanna know why I’m singing my song?
‘Cause on and on the world spins on
Not much time left ‘til we are gone
And on and on the world spins on
So don’t you fret just sing your song
‘Cause on and on the world spins on

Livin’ this life for the masses
Schoolin’ you from skippin’ classes
You can’t touch me I’m above it
Teach me lessons I’m gonna love it
You can’t keep me in detention
Guess I never thought to mention
I’ve not got too, many fucks left
Life is not a fucking contest

All my life I’ve gave up something
Come what may, I regret nothing
But I’ll always ask forgiveness
We all got a shade of wickedness
Fret not for who’s truly evil
On this plane we all are equal
So just love with all your soul
And let this gorgeous life unfold

Nobody here is right or wrong
And on and on the world spins on
You wanna know why I’m singing my song?
‘Cause on and on the world spins on
Not much time left ‘til we are gone
And on and on the world spins on
So don’t you fret just sing your song
‘Cause on and on the world spins on

Hope by Melodie Yvonne

Systematic revocation of your rights to me
Will be the very thing I need to set my heart ache free
Substitution of your face is just a deferred pain
Hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again

Fading like a back to future picture in my hands
Invisible from chemicals that bring about our end
Hiding from you in the most precocious kind of way
But the prisms forming in my eyes are giving me away

Hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
I don’t know how to end it so our story never ends
My heart can’t breathe when you are near so we just can’t be friends
So I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again

I stumble in the dark without your soul light monkey fuck
Not looking yet I’m finding and I’m running out of luck
I hope and wish and pray for you to save me from myself
But I’ve cut you off and now I’m hurting everybody else

Just going through these motions and I’m stuck inside my head
Still analyzing every single word you ever said
Replaying every moment through the movies in my mind
But I’m really not quite sure what I’m expecting me to find

I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
I don’t know how to end it so our story never ends
My heart can’t breathe when you are near so we just can’t be friends
So I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again

My heart still quickens as I picture your sweet angel face
Looking in your eyes I thought I’d finally found my place
But both our souls are broken, we’ll not be there in the morn’
And that string that tethers me to you has finally gone and torn

I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
I don’t know how to end it so our story never ends
My heart can’t breathe when you are near so we just can’t be friends
So I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again

Oh I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again

Wondering by Melodie Yvonne

The faces meld so slowly like I’m lazy cutting grass
Time it flies so quickly, and my heart it moves so fast
If you had an inkling of the things that I could see
You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be like me

You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be like me
You wouldn’t ever lose yourself in lurid company
You’d dance in fire and understand the lust out in the rain
You’d understand why I keep doing it again, again

Time it melds together, and I’m lost out in the rain
You’re asking me to do it all again, again, again
But if you had an inkling of my lurid company
You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be with me

You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be with me
You wouldn’t ever lose yourself in lurid company
You’d dance in fire and understand the lust out in the rain
You’d understand why I keep doing it again, again

Oh, you’d understand why I keep doing it again, again

Baby, Baby, I’m Gonna Miss You by Melodie Yvonne

Baby, baby, I’m gonna miss you
Though I never got to kiss you
Baby, baby, I’m gonna miss you
And I’m hopin’ you’ll miss me too

Fuck my heart, my soul wears Kevlar
Getting’ stuck to you won’t get far
But I feel I need you near me
Oh please god just don’t forget me

I’m confused, and just can’t stand it
I need you to set my brain straight
Needin’ me’s not what you need, though
You need meat not fleshless me bones

Baby, baby, I just miss you
Will I always want to kiss you?
Baby, baby, I still miss you
And I’m hopin you’ll miss me too

Fuck your heart, your soul wears Kevlar
Getting’ stuck to me won’t get far
You’ll sink quick, I’ll have you drownin’
You fall in quicksand I’m bound in

You’re confused, and just can’t stand it
And this life’s not what we planned it
We can’t breathe, just treadin’ water
Trudging through this lifeless fodder

Will we ever find each other?
Or is this all lost forever?
Will he ever come to find me?
All is lost when I’m done binding

Baby, baby, I’ll sure miss you
Maybe in my dreams I’ll kiss you
Baby, I will always miss you
And I’m dreamin you’ll miss me too

Baby, baby, I sure miss you
Maybe in my dreams I’ll kiss you
Baby, baby, I’ll still miss you
In my dreams I’m missin’ you too

Distraction by Melodie Yvonne

I’d sure love to be your distraction
Somebody else’s dubious attraction
I’d love to be somebody’s trigger
A wreck on the tracks, baffled eyes gettin’ bigger

I’ll be something blue, something borrowed
But just don’t expect me to be there tomorrow
I’ll be what you want me to be
But just for a while ‘cause lonely I’m free

Just give me some time, some time to be mine
If you go too fast, I’ll fall behind
Give me some time, some time to unwind
Or you just won’t like this mess that you find

You look at me like I’m some candy
And I’ll be so sweet until you can’t stand me
You look at me like I’m for real
It’s just for this moment ‘cause now I can’t feel

You look at me like I’m your savior
Well, I got news, I’m all bad behavior
And I wish you were here in this moment
Somethin’ about you makes me wanna own it

Just give me some time, some time to be mine
If you go too fast, I’ll fall behind
Give me some time, some time to unwind
I’ll run ahead if you fall in line

Just give me some time, some time to be mine
If you go too fast, I’ll fall behind
Just give me some time, some time to unwind
Don’t burn too bright, we’ll run out of time

I’d sure love to have a distraction
Somebody to be my dubious attraction
I’ll be what you want me to be
But just for a while cause lonely I’m free
