-- Lyrics --
I have dreams about your old house
And the trees lining the way
Leaves move like underwater
But I can’t recall the street name
But you there, sprawled out on the sidewalk
With my hands tangled in your seaweed-hair
Wind blowing currents all around us
When you forgot how to swim
I wrote you a tribute
I wrote you one hundred songs
Just like this one
That you’ll never hear
Cause this is just a conversation with myself
Still every night I dream I’m swimming through the air
Every night I dream I’m tugging at your hair
Every night I dream this never happened at all
Every night I dream I’m swimming through the air
Every night I dream I’m tugging at your hair
Every night I dream this never happened at all

-- Lyrics --
Just the luck of the draw, I guess
I’m no better than all the rest
But you told me I was special
Shouldn’t have said I was special at all
So I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
Oh please tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m fine
Say it’s all good, I’ll be alright
Tell me you want me to stay forever
Just the way things are meant to be, I guess
Got no sway on my destiny, I guess you could say
But I can’t make sense of every time you pick me up and you put me down
Every time you take me back and then you throw me out
I can’t make sense, I can’t make sense of it
So I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
Oh please tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m fine
Say it’s all good, I’ll be alright
Tell me you want me to stay forever
Oh please say you forgive me
Can we just go back to the way it was?
Can we just go back, can we just go back to the way it was?
Cause I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
I know I’m right, know I’ll be fine and it’s all good
I just need to get away from everyone I’ve ever met
So I’ve given it thought
I should just go away to an island
I’ll disappear
You’ll never have to think of me again
I know I’m right, know I’ll be fine and it’s all good
I just need to get away from everyone I’ve ever met
But tell me you want me to stay and I’ll forget all of this

-- Lyrics --
If you treat me like a prize
Come take what’s yours
Follow my lead
Come get what’s yours
There’s nothing wrong with asking for what you want
There’s nothing I can’t take
This is no game, but if it were
You always win the race
I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive
I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive, asking to receive
I’ve been waiting for you to take it down south
I’ve been craving, oh sour taste of your mouth
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I only drew a straight line, what did I get?
A triangle, so tiresome, not asking for it
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
Why don’t you tell me what it is that you want?
I’m tired of begging for it, I’m tired of begging for it
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’ve been waiting for you to take it down south
I’ve been craving, oh sour taste of your mouth
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I only drew a straight line, what did I get?
A triangle, so tiresome, not asking for it
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
But if you treat me like a prize
Come take what’s yours
Come take it all
Take me, I’m yours
There’s nothing wrong with asking for what you want
Easy enough to see
This is no game, this is no game
This is no game for three
I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive
I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive
Asking to receive

-- Lyrics --
My hands don’t work so well no more
My mind ain’t so sharp either
My hair in piles on the floor
My appetite now meagre
Slowly slipping off the edge of this world
Will you take care of me when I’m dying?
Drown in my salt water when I’m crying?
I’ve been trying all night, trying to make it fit
The pieces aren’t quite right, not like this
Crying all night, I can’t dry my tears
River meets the ocean soon
The world is a hollow place
And I am just an empty shell
Might as well loosen my grip
If we are all going to hell
Slowly slipping off the edge of this world
Will you take care of me when I’m dying?
Drown in my salt water when I’m crying?
Will you take the fall, get on your knees and burn it all?
Will you speak the psalm that I’ve been waiting for so long?
Will you take care of me when I’m dying?
(Are you ever gonna tell me what I wanna hear?)
Drown in my salt water when I’m crying?
(Are you ever gonna tell me what I wanna hear?)
Will you take the fall, get on your knees and burn it all?
Will you speak the psalm that I’ve been waiting for so long?
Crying all night, trying to make it fit
The pieces aren’t quite right, not like this
Crying all night, I can’t dry my tears
River meets the ocean soon

-- Lyrics --
You’ve been swimming inside an aquarium
Let me reach in and scoop you out, help you out of there
You’re just moving in circles
You’re just making me dizzy
I wanna do everything right for you
Let me keep saying all the right things
Til you tell me you’re just fooling
Will it ever be simple as you and me?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard those words together before
I can’t stand the sound of you thrashing around
Trying to get your head above
Let me raise you up
I wanna do everything right for you
Let me keep saying all the right things

-- Lyrics --
Watching you there
Playing your guitar, sweating bullets
Holding every girl in the room, but
I don’t care
Cause you’re not good enough for me
If you don’t stutter when you speak
You can’t hold your breath to ten
But you give good face at nine, eight, seven, oh
But I’m not buying what you’re selling, no
Cause you’re not him and I’m not jealous
Aching, wishing it would ache like the last time
But it never does, it never feels like it’s right
And waiting, clutching at the fence saying L-I-L-Y
Can you scratch my itch?
I wish
It’s time
But you don’t know what I don’t show
I wish
But there’s no more time to take it slow
I wish
But you’re not him and I don’t know
I think you’re letting the fame go to your head
I think that’s enough
I think you’re letting the fame go to your head
I think that’s enough, enough, enough
I think you’re letting the fame go to your head
I think that’s enough (repeated)
You never change, you never grow
Into someone I could love
And I don’t think you’ll ever know how to
I never change and I never grow
Still hung up on that same old
Same old, same old love
I think you’re letting the fame go to your head
I think we’re done

-- Lyrics --
Don’t leave the cats out too long
They get lost in the alley
Don’t stay up working all night again
We don’t have long
Don’t leave me out on the counter
I’ll go sour
All night and every night
You stay up and cry
While I say sorry all night
All night and every night
You stay up and cry
While I say sorry all night
Now I’ll stay
Every night and I’ll never leave
I’ll stay every night, never leave
I’ll stay every night and I’ll never leave you again
Every night and I’ll never leave
I’ll stay every night, never leave
I’ll stay every night, never leave you again
Every night, never leave
I’ll stay every night and I’ll never leave
I’ll stay every night til they make me leave again
Don’t leave the cats out too long
They get lost in the alley

Never Good Enough

-- Lyrics --
You say I’d be so good for you
But I’m never good enough
Leave your place crying, like I always do
I’ve got five years on you
I should have my shit together
Leave your place crying
I’m just a big dumb kid
You’re up late night calling me
You say you wanna talk
Then talk
You didn’t have to go so far if you needed space
I’ll give you all the goddamn stars if you want some space
So I leave your place crying
I thought I was better than this, I’m not
I guess I am just controlled by my emotions
Just like everyone else
I’m up late night, holding up hoping you’re gonna call
Please call
You didn’t have to go so far if you needed space
I’ll give you all the goddamn stars if you want some space
You didn’t have to go so far if you needed space
I’ll give you all the goddamn stars if you want some space

Seeking

-- Lyrics --
I’m sorry for calling every night
Like I was entitled to love
Like some kind of bully
But not worthy of
I thought what I sought was seeking me too
Reaching around in the dark
All of the while I protest like a child
Who doesn’t get what they want
I see now what’s going on
I’ve been the worst kind of fool
Should not have come round every night
As if I could force you into love
Like some kind of deranged
Like you didn’t make it plain
Like insane
I thought what I sought was seeking me too
Reaching around in the dark
All of the while I protest like a child
Who doesn’t get what they want
I see now what’s going on
I’ve been the worst kind of fool
I see now what’s going on
I’ve been the worst kind there is
Can’t take it back, I can’t take it back
Anymore than you can
I wish you well, oh I wish you well
Hope you have forgotten
Can’t take it back, I can’t take it back
Anymore than you can
I wish you well, oh I wish you well
Hope you will not forgive

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces.

After the crossover appeal of Designer, I didn't warm initially to Warm Chris's more insular sound. Contra the title, the stripped down approach sounded like an artist retreating into the distance, kind of stand-offish. But I now think it's the opposite. Warm Chris is a remarkably brave record, both vulnerable and confident in its melodic idiosyncrasies. It asks to be loved...no, it KNOWS it will be loved on its own terms, terms enough to make it one of the year's best.

A heavy yet melodic mix of electronics and alt-rock from Reformat doesn't skimp on the hooks or atmosphere.
