One…two… One, two, three- HEY! I could be doing anything else, But here I am staring at you from the other side of the classroom. Sometimes I have to shut my big mouth, The most I can do is write silly songs for you. I want to tell you, but I'm afraid… I guess my feelings don't matter anyways. Freckles and Stardust! Loving you is simply just a must! I feel pretty trashy for loving you this way, But I guess it's me, my apologies, I think I’ll always be naive- And the stars guide the way for you! Twenty-six freckles on your face (Bum-buh-duh) You and me with very little space. You count about three, trace them and pull back. And maybe I’m overthinking this, But I might be having a heart attack! Freckles were never important to me, But I can’t stop thinking how they trace your face so elegantly. I notice how you look at me Maybe it’s time to let it go, simply time to let it be. Freckles and Stardust! Loving you is simply just a must! Freckles and Stardust! Loving you is simply just a must! Maybe I shouldn't feel so bad? …but you know me, this is how it has to be, And I think I’ll always be naive! The stars will guide the way for you, And I will find my way to you.

I guess I've always been afraid. With nothing to give, nothing to take. I am tired of running away. With nowhere left to go, Nothing left to say. Please don't leave me alone here, I have been waiting for you to appear in the dark! I can only hope that I’m enough! Tell me it's so, I just need to know That I'm a human you love. I have abandoned you once before, I used to think to myself “There's got to be something more!” And now to face you after I've changed, Something is wrong- I am afraid that soon we'll go our separate ways. Please don't leave me alone here, I'm tired of waiting for you to appear in the dark! I can only hope that I’m enough! Tell me it's true, what I mean to you, That I'm a human you love! I know I've always been afraid. Nothing to give, So much to take. Please don't leave me alone here, Hopelessly waiting for you to appear in the dark! I know what I’m dreaming of! Tell me it's so, I just need to know and- Please don't leave me alone here! Hopelessly waiting for you to appear in the dark! You could never convince me I’m enough! Tell me it's true, what I meant to you, That I'm a human you loved. A human you loved.

Maybe she was too tired to know she did it, Maybe she did it on purpose. Maybe she craved for it like me, Maybe I'm overthinking. She leaned forward, kissed me softly, then fell asleep. So blindly, so quickly, I’m in too deep. I wonder if she gets those feelings, too. I wonder if she knows what she put me through Why now, after all the times, I looked into her eyes and said, “please?” Maybe I'm helplessly in love with her. Maybe she was too tired.

You always looked good in orange, I never really thought anything of it. You looked to the stars with such a fascination, Unlike anything I had seen here before, You’re so much more Than anything I’d ever dream to be! I always really liked your freckles, They reminded me of stars and stardust. Things had always been interesting between us, So, really, I’m just glad to know you trust me. I know you’ll find your someone, If your someone ever seems to come. Take the memories we made together, Let them sit like cherries on your tongue. I wish I could bring myself to be mad at you- But I love you too much! I hope you know I’ll always adore you; I’ll forgot this if I must. You were my sun, you called me the moon. But it seems you’d forgotten by the 25th of June! I hope I made you happy, just as you made me. I probably should have known, we could never be! Oh! I hope you learned something with me, Just like we had always talked about. Take care of my hoodie, would you? Though I want it back, you can keep it for now. I hope I was the moon in your sky Just as you were always the sun in mine. I know you’ll find your someone, If your someone ever seems to come. Take the memories we made together, Let them sit like cherries on your tongue. I know you’ll find your someone, If your someone ever seems to come. Take the memories we made together, Let them sit like cherries on your tongue. I know you’ll find your someone, If your someone ever seems to come. Take the memories we made together, Let them sit like cherries on your tongue. I know you’ll find your someone, If your someone ever seems to come. Take the memories we made together, Let them sit like cherries on your tongue.

To say I miss you would be an understatement; An ache with no name. For you I'd write a thousand cheesy memoirs. Infatuation makes it hard to see past the stars. I don't deserve the way I was treated, But learning some worth means making hard decisions. I hope they treat you well and love you with all of their heart. I hope you understand you've torn us apart. And like my grandma said, I know who my true friends are. If only you could be who you pretend you are. I still don't know what you saw in me- but you made me feel so pretty. 6 years…just to throw that all away! I look to the night sky and it all has turned to gray. I can't believe the promises you've broken. You had always sworn to me that I was not a burden! I hope they treat you well and love you with all of their heart. I hope you understand you've torn us apart. And like my grandma said, I know who my true friends are If only you could be who you pretend you are. No stars out tonight! (You’ll find your someone.) No stars out tonight, Oh. I hope they treat you well and love you with all of their heart. I hope you understand you've torn me apart. And like my grandma said, I know who my true friends are. If only you could be who I believe you are. No stars, no stars out tonight, oh.

We were picture perfect. The couple everyone wanted to be. I liked your nose, you liked my smile, We knew that it’d be worth our while ‘Cause we were home. And we were picture perfect. The best friends everyone wanted to be. You’d call my name, from down the hall, I never had to worry at all ‘Cause you were home. I’m sorry and though we’ve said goodbye, I’m sorry. I wish I could have apologized. And even after all this time, I wish you the best- Even as we lay our love to rest: You still owe me a sunflower. You still owe me a sunflower. And I hope we meet again, Even if it’s in another life! And even after all this time, I wish you nothing but the best.

about

26 is an EP about my first love and all the complex emotions that came with loving and losing her. She shaped so much of who I am, and this EP is the most beautiful send-off to everything we were. I wish I could have thanked her, but I have a feeling she knows I'm grateful.
