It’s a hard time to look for hope when the
Truth can feel like a joke or worse
And they tell you it’s your fault if you trust
But if there’s one know it’s this
Opposites do coexist
And the last thing they’ll ever kill is love
The world's on fire and we still fall in love
The world's on fire and we still fall in love
The world's on fire and we’re not giving up
No, no
I could let you go
Say it’s not worth it, oh
I could give up before we know
Cuz what’s the use in having hope
Then even though
Everything’s wrong and it shows
I still look at you and I know
One thing could be perfect
The world's on fire and we still fall in love
The world's on fire and we still fall in love
The world's on fire and we’re not giving up
No, no
I don’t want to be naive but I
Catch myself wanting to believe and I
Think I could take a risk this time
It’s a hard time to look for hope when the
Truth can feel like a joke or worse
And they tell you it’s your fault if you try
The world is on fire and we still fall in love
The world is on fire and we still fall in love
The world is on fire and we still fall in love

Forget Your Face
03:58

I’ll admit there was a time
you were all I dreamed about
I woke up with your smile in my eyes
Rising felt like seeking you
a goose chase of the wildest kind
And you can turn a truth into a lie
I can’t wait, for the fire to flame out
Wait - It’s magic how we fall off
I can’t wait what feels like hell
Won’t be a hard goodbye
One day I’ll look back on us
Hazy shades of faded love
Can’t wait ‘til I forget your name
And someday I’ll be over this,
Never care about that kiss
Just wait ‘til I forget your face
I can’t wait, for the fire to flame out
Wait - It’s magic how we fall off
I can’t wait what feels like hell
Won’t be a hard goodbye
I can’t wait, so easy how fall out
Wait - just hang in and hold out
The heartbreak won’t be long now
I’m almost feeling strong now
One day I’ll give thanks,
I didn’t even torch my life for you
Saving my fire for something else
Amazing what time can do,
I really think I’m over you
And you know I can turn a lie into the truth
I can’t wait, for the fire to flame out
Wait - It’s magic how we fall off
I can’t wait what feels like hell
Won’t be a hard goodbye
I can’t wait, so easy how fall out
Wait - just hang in and hold out
The heartbreak won’t be long now
I’m almost feeling strong now
One day I’ll look back on us
Hazy shades of faded love
Can’t wait ‘til I forget your face

Later Than We Think
04:20
|
|||
|
I cried when you left
Not just because of you
But because I don’t know what to do
By myself
And I laid in our bed
Better to hide here
while you’re running through my head
Better to play dead
And while I’m here hiding out
I think of all the things I should have said
And while I’m here hiding out
I hear your voice inside my head
You said it’s later than we think
But it’s never too late to love yourself
You said it’s later than we think
But it’s never too late to love yourself
Part of me died when you left
What else could I do?
I never dreamed I would be here
By myself
So I stay in our bed
Just close my eyes
Let you live on in my head
And I’ll play dead
And while I’m here hiding out
I think of all the things I regret
And while I’m here hiding out
I swear I hear your voice inside my head
You said it’s later than we think
But it’s never too late to love yourself
You said it’s later than we think
But it’s never too late so save yourself
It’s later than we think, so love yourself.
It’s later than we think, so love yourself.
Oohhh
I remember you said, you said
It’s later than we think,
So love yourself
Those were the last words you said
So I remember them,
I love myself
I promise yeah
I promise that
I’ll love myself
It was the last gift you gave
And I won’t give it away
I’ll love myself

Hit By A Bus
04:49
|

|
If an air conditioner falls on me, please be sure to laugh about it
And if I fall into the sea, remember that’s just how life works sometimes
I was always afraid to swim with sharks
And sometimes death gives us what we want
But sometimes life will give us
what we need
If I get hit by bus, this is what I need to tell you
If I die tomorrow, please just don’t forget to sing
If I get hit by a bus, there’s one thing I need to tell you
If I’m gone tomorrow, you don’t owe me anything
If you wake up Monday morning
And somehow I forgot to breathe
Or if you look me up and they say
Oh we’re so sorry
Yeah WE’RE SORRY WE’RE SORRY
Well, please don’t fuck shit up for me
Cuz I can promise you I left nothing unsaid and
All the love I had I
Gave for free
I did everything that I came here to do so
Don’t you dare waste your tears on me
If I get hit by bus, this is what I need to tell you
If I die tomorrow, please just don’t forget to sing
If I get hit by a bus, there’s one thing I need to tell you
If I’m gone on Sunday, you don’t owe me anything
How much time do we have left?
What should we do differently?
I ask my dad but he sends me
No reply
Should I do less or should I do more?
Who’s not really on my team?
Well, if there are no answers
We'll be fine.
And it seems quite possible, that this could end tomorrow
If that happens, skip the sorrow
It seems quite likely, this could all end by Friday
So, promise me, promise me, you’ll dance on my grave
2, 3, 4!
Promise me promise me
Promise me promise me
Promise me promise me
You’ll dance on my grave

On Fences
by Stella and the Very Messed
supported by 4 fans who also own “The World's On Fire (and We Still Fall In Love)”
Old CW8 fan here.. I got this album two weeks ago. Then I got covid. So I laid in bed listening to these songs for three straight days. Now I'm all better. This record is truly magic, and clearly has powers that not only lift spirits but also cure disease. Bright instrumentals and beautiful vocals are sublime. Can't believe it took me 2+ years to learn of its existence. I will listen to these songs regularly as a prophylaxis against ill temper and malady.
