Getting Older
"Things I once enjoyed
Just keep me employed now
Things I'm longing for Someday, I'll be bored of
It's so weird
That we care so much until we don't"
I Didn't Change My Number
"I didn't change my number
I only changed who I reply to
I only changed who I believe in"
Billie Bossa Nova
"I'm not sentimental
But there's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight, mmm
Makes me wanna take a picture
Make a movie with you that we'd have to hide"
my future
"I know better
Than to drive you home
'Cause you'd invite me in
And I'd be yours again"
Oxytocin
"Can't take it back once it's been set in motion
You know I love to rub it in like lotion
If you only pray on Sunday, could you come my way on Monday?
'Cause I like to do things God doesn't approve of if She saw us"
GOLDWING
"They're gonna tell you what you wanna hear
Then they're gonna disappear
Gonna claim you like a souvenir
Just to sell you in a year"
Lost Cause
"You ain't nothing but a lost cause
And this ain't nothing like it once was
I know you think you're such an outlaw
But you got no job"
Halley's Comet
"I haven't slept since Sunday
Midnight for me is 3AM for you
But my sleepless nights are better
With you than nights could ever be alone"
Not My Responsibility
"Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller?
Would you like me to be quiet?
Do my shoulders provoke you?
Does my chest?
Am I my stomach? My hips? The body I was born with
Is it not what you wanted?"
OverHeated
"Everybody said it was a let down
I was only built like everybody else now
But I didn't get a surgery to help out
'Cause I'm not about to redesign myself now, am I?"
Everybody Dies
"I sure have a knack for seein' lifе more like a child
It's not my fault, it's not so wrong to wonder why
Everybody dies, and when will I?"
Your Power
"She said you were a hero
You played the part
But you ruined her in a year"
NDA
"Maybе I should think about a new career
Somewhere in Kaua'i where I can disappear
I've been havin' fun gettin' older now
Didn't change my number, made him shut his mouth"
Therefore I Am
"Get my pretty name out of your mouth
We are not the same with or without
Don't talk 'bout me like how you might know how I feel"
Happier Than Ever
"I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this s***ty
You made me hate this city"
Male Fantasy
"Guess it's hard to know
When nobody else comes around
If I'm getting over you
Or just pretending to
Be alright, convince myself I hate you"
In our latest Audacy Check-In, Billie told us that this time around she feels much more confident with the creative process of making the new record, although she harbored the same doubts in the lead up to this second studio release as she did on her first.
"I really have gotten so much better, I can't even tell you," Billie says, crushing those doubts. "My voice has matured in a way that I'm so pleased with and my lyrics, I'm just so much better at it now than I was and understand it more. I'm more patient with myself and less miserable, really. I just was so miserable back then."
