Cry About It Later

I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm havin' fun
Tonight I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new

I know tomorrow I'll be love hungover
But I'm ready for a shameless summer
Champagne on ice only makes you stronger

Pourin' it, pourin' it, pourin' it non-stop, ah
Drinkin' it, drinkin' it, drinkin' it all up, ah
Body to body, I almost forgot
You're not him, you're not her

I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm havin' fun
Tonight I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new

I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse
I think I'm ready for a brand new tattoo
I'm gonna fake it 'til it makes me feel good

Pourin' it, pourin' it, pourin' it non-stop, ah (one more)
Drinkin' it, drinkin' it, drinkin' it all up, ah
Body to body, I almost forgot
You're not him, you're not her

I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm havin' fun
Tonight I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' some
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm havin' fun
Tonight I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new

Ooh
I know tomorrow I'll be love hungover
Ooh

And it's half past three
And I got angel wings
But a devil's grin
And only one can win
No, no, no, no

(I'll cry about it later)
(I'll cry about it later)
(Tonight I'm havin' fun)
(Tonight I'm havin' fun)
(I'll cry about it later)
(I'll cry about it later)
(Tonight I'm gettin' some)
(Tonight I'm gettin' some)

I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm havin' fun
Tonight I'm havin' fun
I'll cry about it later
I'll cry about it later
Tonight I'm gettin' some
Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new

Teary Eyes

Have you ever lost, lost the light in your life?
Have you ever left, left yourself behind?
Have you ever lied and just replied, "I'm fine"?
'Cause I can see you've lost, lost the light in your life

Wanna run like your mascara
Wine-stained lips talkin' to the mirror
If the sun comes up, don't even care at all

Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they're gonna dry
Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes

If love has left you with, with a question mark
If trust has left you fallin' in nobody's arms

If you wanna hide like your emotions
Heart can't break, it's already broken
If the sun comes up, don't even care at all

Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they're gonna dry
Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes

Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes

Wanna run like your mascara
Wine-stained lips talkin' to the mirror
If the sun comes up, don't even care at all

Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they're gonna dry
Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes

Keep on dancin'
Keep on dancin'
Keep on dancin'
Just keep on dancin' with those teary eyes

Daisies

Told them your dreams and they all started laughing
I guess you're out of your mind 'til it actually happens

I'm the small town
One in seven billion
Why can't it be me?

They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies

They said I'm going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies

When did we all stop believing in magic?
Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?

I'm the long-shot
I'm the Hail Mary
Why can't it be me?

They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down (knock me down)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies

They said I'm going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies

Hey, hey
Oh, cover me in daisies
Hey, hey

I'm the small town
One in seven billion
Why can't it be me?

They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies

They said I'm going nowhere
Tried to count me out (count me out)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
'Til they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies

Resilient

I know there's gotta be rain
If I want the rainbows
And I know the higher I climb
The harder the wind blows
Yeah, I've gone to sleep
Night after night punchin' a pillow
But do you know the darker the night
The brighter the stars glow?

'Cause I am resilient
A full flower moment
Won't let the concrete hold me back
Oh no
I am resilient
Born to be brilliant
You'll see me grow right through the cracks
Yeah, 'cause you're gonna watch this flower grow
Right through the cracks

I've got to shed all the skin
If I want the distance
Let the sun in, pull out the weeds
And focus my vision
'Cause there's no mistakes
Just bends and breaks and friction
But do you know the hotter the fire
The purer the gold is?

'Cause I am resilient
A full flower moment
Won't let the concrete hold me back
Oh yeah
I am resilient
Born to be brilliant
I'm gonna grow right through the cracks
Oh

'Cause I died every winter
But survived all the weather
Look at me now, look at me now
I'm in full bloom
Yeah
They tried to poison the water
But I was a little stronger
Look at me now, look at me now
Light up the room

Oh yeah
'Cause I am resilient (I am resilient)
A full flower moment
Won't let the concrete hold me back, no
Oh, I am resilient
Born to be brilliant
I'm gonna grow right through the cracks
Oh, you're gonna watch this flower grow
Right through the cracks

Not the End of the World

It's not the end of the world
No, not the end of the world
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope
It's no funeral we're attending
Actually just the beginning
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope

It's not the end of the
No, not the end of the world

You can catch a star if the sky is falling down
There's a golden lining up in every single cloud
You can take a frown turn it all the way around
All the way around, all the, all the way around
A fortune teller told me the power's in your mind
You might see a cliff but I see a way to fly
Flipping off the flop now I just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the world, yeah I just enjoy the ride

(Na, na, na, na)
What a time
(Na, na, na, na)
To be alive
(Don't say goodbye)

It's not the end of the world
No, not the end of the world
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope
It's no funeral we're attending
Actually just the beginning
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope

It's not the end of the
No, not the end of the world

You can make a wish even on a satellite
On a plastic lash or anything you like
You can tame a dragon if you're not afraid to fight
Not afraid to fight, no, not afraid

(Na, na, na, na)
What a time
(Na, na, na, na)
To be alive
(Don't say goodbye)
Don't say goodbye

It's not the end of the world
No, not the end of the world
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope
It's no funeral we're attending
Actually just the beginning
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope

(Na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na)
(Don't say goodbye)
Don't say goodbye
(Na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na)
(Don't say) goodbye

Smile

Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile (smile)
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (smile)

Every day, Groundhog Day
Goin' through motions felt so fake
Not myself, not my best
Felt like I failed the test

But every tear has been a lesson
Rejection can be God's protection
Long hard road to get that redemption
But no shortcuts to a blessin'

Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile (smile)
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (smile)

I'm 2.0, remodeled
Used to be dull, now I sparkle
Had a piece of humble pie
That ego check saved my life

Now I got a smile like Lionel Richie
Big and bright, need shades just to see me
Tryna stay alive just like I'm the Bee Gees
A Mona Lisa masterpiece

Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful (so thankful)
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (smile)

(I'm so thankful)
('Cause I finally, 'cause I finally)
(I'm so grateful)
('Cause I finally, 'cause I finally)

Ooh I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile (smile)
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (smile)

I'm so grateful
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally, ohh
I'm so grateful
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally, ohh

Champagne Problems

I wanna see you soon as I wipe the crust from my eyes
'Til the day I die, could you be the love of my life?
I'm a soldier for you baby, I earned all my stripes, ah

We put the dirty work in so now we know it's worth it
Now we're celebratin', I'm so glad we made it
This far, ah

Are champagne problems now
'Cause baby, all we got

Tucked

No one knows, knows where my mind goes
I keep you on the low, I must confess
I've been paintin' us, the picture makes me blush
My imagination at its best

I could put us on an island
I could put us in a mansion
I could put us in a back seat
Yeah, you're anywhere I want you to be

I keep you tucked away inside my head
Where I can find you any time I want to, baby
I keep you tucked away inside my head
Where I can find you any time I want to, baby

Na, na, na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
No, they'll never know about us
Na, na, na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
As long as I keep you tucked

Tucked deep, deep in my fantasy
'Cause in reality, we're a mistake
Don't need permission to do what I do to you
When all you are to me's a sweet escape

I could put us on an island
I could put us in a mansion
I could put us in a back seat
Yeah, you're anywhere I want you to be

I keep you tucked away inside my head
Where I can find you any time I want to, baby
I keep you tucked away inside my head
Where I can find you any time I want to, baby

Na, na, na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
No, they'll never know about us
Na, na, na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
As long as I keep you tucked

(I'll keep you)
(Yeah, I'll keep you, baby)
No one knows, knows where my mind goes
I keep you on the low, I must confess
You're someone that I should forget

Oh
I keep you tucked away inside my head (yeah)
Where I can find you any time I want to, baby (any time, any time, any time)
I keep you tucked away inside my head
Where I can find you any time I want to, baby

Na, na, na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
No, they'll never know about us
Na, na, na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
As long as I keep you tucked

Harleys in Hawaii

Boy, tell me, can you take my breath away?
Cruisin' down a heart-shaped highway
Got you swervin' lane-to-lane, don't hit the brakes
'Cause I'm feelin' so safe

I'll be your baby, on a Sunday
Oh, why don't we get out of town?
Call me your baby, on the same wave
Oh, no, no, there's no slowin' down

You and I, I
Ridin' Harleys in Hawaii, I
I'm on the back, I'm holdin' tight, I
Want you to take me for a ride, ride
When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you'll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler
There's pink and purple in the sky, I
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii, I

Let me run my fingers through your salty hair
Go ahead, explore the island vibes
So real that you can feel it in the air
I'm revvin' up your engine

I'll be your baby, on a Sunday
Oh, why don't we get out of town? (Why don't we get out of town?)
Call me your baby, catch the same wave
Oh, no, no, there's no slowin' down (let's go)

You and I, I
Ridin' Harleys in Hawaii, I
I'm on the back, I'm holdin' tight, I
Want you to take me for a ride, ride
When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you'll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler
There's pink and purple in the sky, I
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii, I

No, no

You and I
You and I, I
Ridin' Harleys in Hawaii, I
I'm on the back, I'm holdin' tight, I
Want you to take me for a ride, ride (oh)
When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you'll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler
There's pink and purple in the sky, I
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii, I

I'll be your baby, on a Sunday
Oh
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii
Call me your baby, catch the same wave
Oh
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii

Only Love

(Only love, only love)
(Only love, only love)

Eighty-six thousand, four-hundred seconds in a day
I swear lately, most of 'em have been a waste
I feel 'em come and go, bury my mistakes
But time just goes on and on in a way

If I had one day left to live
And if the stars went out on me, the truth is
Yeah, there's so much I'd say and do
If I had nothing to lose, nah, nothing to lose

Oh, I'd call my mother and tell her I'm sorry
I never call her back
I'd pour my heart and soul out into a letter
And send it to my dad
Like, oh my God, the time I've wasted
Lost in my head
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead

Give me
Only love, only love
Give me
Only love, only love

I swear sometimes I hear myself taking, getting mad
Take shit so personal like it really matters
Oh am I awake? Am I sleepwalking? Tell me that
It's scary how quickly I lose perspective and I react

If I had one day left to live
And if the stars went out on me, the truth is
Yeah, there's so much I'd say and do
If I had nothing to lose, no, nothing to lose

Oh, I'd call my mother and tell her I'm sorry
I never call her back
I'd pour my heart and soul out into a letter
And send it to my dad
Like, oh my God, the time I've wasted
Lost in my head
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead

Give me
Only love, only love
Give me
Only love, only love (love)
Yeah, give me
Only love, only love
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead

Give me
Only love, only love (only love, only love)
Give me
Only love, only love (only love, only love, only love)
Only love, only love (only love)
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead

Give me
Only love, only love
Yeah, give me
Only love, only love

What Makes a Woman

Is it the way I talk sweet?
The way my skin is soft?
Or how I can be a bitch?
Make you keep your fingers crossed?
Is it the way that I praise you?
The way that I please you?
Or how fast I change my mind
And get scared that I might leave you?

Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
She's always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
And that's what makes a woman to me

Is it the way I cut my hair
And put no makeup on?
I feel most beautiful
Doing what the f*ck I want
Is it that my intuition
Is never really off?
I need tissues for my issues
And Band-Aids for my heart

Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
She's always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
And that's what makes a woman to me

That's what makes a woman to me
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is it the way we keep
The whole world turning
In a pair of heels?
Yeah, that's what makes a woman

There it is, Katheryn
