"I've got a boyfriend now and he's made of gold."

"You've got your own mistakes in a bed at home."

"I'm hoping you could save me now."

"You've got a fire inside, but your heart's so cold."

"I've done some things that I can't speak."

"I've tried to wash you away, but you just won't leave."

"Won't you take a breath and dive in deep?"

"I came here so you'd come for me."

"I'm begging you to keep on haunting me."

"Your eyes had to wander."

"They weren't looking at me."

"You weren't looking for me."

"I know you're gonna keep on haunting me."

GASOLINE

"Goddamn right, you should be scared of me."

"Who is in control?"

"I couldn't stand the person inside me."

"I turned all the mirrors around."

"I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my bed."

YOUNG GOD

"Forever cursed in love are the observant."

"Forever a slave to the detail."

"Baby girl, you know we're gonna be legends."

"I'm the king and you're the queen."

"We will stumble through heaven."

"If there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes."

"I know you wanna go to heaven, but you're human tonight."

"I've been sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool."

"Drowning my thoughts out with the sounds."

"I'll admit that I'm a fool for you."

"You've got a way to keep me on your side."

"You give me cause for love that I can't hide."

ROMAN HOLIDAY

"Do you remember the taste of my lips that night?"

"I remember when my father put his fist through the wall that separated the dining room."

"I remember the fear in your eyes."

"Didn't know where we were running to."

"Don't look back."

"We'll be looking for sunlight, or the headlights."

"We know that we're headstrong."

"The timing's never right."

"For now let's get away on a Roman holiday."

"Could you imagine the taste of your lips if we never tried to kiss?"

"I imagine the weight of your ribs if you lied between my hips in the backseat."

"I imagine the tears in your eyes the very first night I'll sleep without you."
