Hit Song Central

(N. Bortolotti, J. S. Smith)

He's sex, amplified

So Emo his mother cried

Wrote a song when his goldfish died

Now you sing along with every line

You want his heart, but to be fair

You'd settle for his underwear

You're in love again

It's a warm fuzz, fever buzz, rollercoaster rush

You're in love again

You've got a bona fide butterfly crush

She's sex, mortified

More Goth than formaldehyde

Stiletto boots with a tight corset

Hotter than the devil and she knows it

She doesn't care that you exist

But you'd pierce your eyeball for just one kiss

You're in love again

It's a warm fuzz, fever buzz, rollercoaster rush

You're in love again

You've got a bona fide butterfly crush

You're in love again

You've got a bona fide, tongue-tied, brain-fried, butterfly crush

We're all prone to infatuation

It's not a brand new revelation

What you feel is your creation

A sweet expression of elation

You can hope for reciprocation

Or, just enjoy your imagination

He's sex, pacified

Likes his women mystified

Plays bone in a jam band

Lights 'em up at burning man

You bought a hybrid to impress him

But all you want is to undress him

You're in love again

You're in love again

It's a warm fuzz, fever buzz, rollercoaster rush

You're in love again

You've got a bona fide butterfly crush

You're in love again

It's a warm fuzz, fever buzz, rollercoaster rush

You're in love again 

You've got a bona fide, tongue-tied, brain-fried, butterfly crush

You're in love again 

Butterfly crush 

(N. Bortolotti, J. S. Smith)

I was a drone

Another clone

Just a typical raging hormone

My body set to explode

But instead of Prince Charming

Always got the toad

I'd given up

Stuck in a rut

Then you came along

And you punched me in the gut

You put my brain on hold

And my heart was sold

Now I want to tell you

Ever since you called my name

That's when my sense went down the drain

Never been quite the same

Not since your love ate my brain

Love used to be so lame

Now I'm a greeting card and you’re the one to blame

My life will never be the same

Not since your love ate my brain

I can’t think

I’m on the brink

My feet are starting to sink and then

You’re calling me on the phone

And your voice reminds me

That I’m not alone

When things go wrong

You are my song

I don’t know all of the words

But you got me singing along

Boy, you’re in my head

I won’t let you get away

Now I want to tell you

Ever since you called my name

That's when my sense went down the drain

Never been quite the same

Not since your love ate my brain

Love used to be so lame

Now I'm a greeting card and you’re the one to blame

My life will never be the same

Not since your love ate my brain

We’ll fly incognito

Into our own unknown

We’ll hide from the world

And get lost in you and me

Our song will be playing

On every radio

From Milan to Tokyo

wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo

Love ate my brain

Love ate my brain 

Love ate my brain 

Ever since you...

Ever since you called my name

That's when my sense went down the drain

Never been quite the same

Not since your love ate my brain

Love used to be so lame

Now I'm in love with you and baby you're to blame

My life will never be the same

(N. Bortolotti, J. S. Smith)

Paparazzi challenged

Living in LA

The media is feasting on

My image everyday

Hanging out with boyfriends

Who fall far below my fame

I’m punching out a cameraman

On TMZ today

I'm growing up in public

Where everyone can see me trip and fall

And tumble, slide and slip

I'm growing up in public

Someone wake me up

There's someone taking pictures

Hanging from my tree

I'm blinded by the flashing lights

Closing in on me

I twitter all about it

My fans say they understand

My followers just multiply

It's getting out of hand

I'm growing up in public

Where everyone can see me trip and fall

And tumble, slide and slip

I'm growing up in public

Someone wake me up

Right or wrong, I'm learning from the radio

TV, DVD, everybody's schooling me

I can't find the center of my gravity

It's all depravity, where is my reality?

Growing up in public

I'm inside out and outside in

I'm ending up where I begin

I'm growing up in public

Won't someone wake me up?

You’re really cute when you think you’re alone

You check your butt and you fix your hair

I see you texting on your phone

You don’t know that I’m even there

I go stealth when you’re walking home

And I always make sure you’re safe

If I ever get the nerve I might ask you on a real date

You’ll always be right here with me

In every moment of every day

I guarantee you belong to me

No restraining order can keep me away, yeah

I always wonder what you think about me

‘Cause I think about you all the time

I see us married with a bunch of kids

I’m sure that you don’t mind

I’ll start looking for a part-time job

So you’ll see that I’m serious

Your mom will see that you are meant for me

And your dad will be delirious

You’ll always be right here with me

In every moment of every day

I guarantee you belong to me

No restraining order can keep me away

I hack your blog, upload my songs

Rearrange your pictures and post my own

I know you’ll like it and be excited

Don’t try to fight it, you’re never alone

Maybe we’ll elope and run away

Rent a small apartment by the Bay

Eat TV Dinners and caviar

You’ll raise the kids, I’ll pass the Bar

Serious Delirious, wo, oh, wo, oh, wo

You’ll always be right here with me

In every moment of every day

I guarantee you belong to me

No restraining order can keep me away

I hack your blog, upload my songs

Rearrange your pictures and post my own

I know you’ll like it and be excited

Don’t try to fight it, you’re never alone

You’ll always be right here with me

Serious Delirious, wo, oh, wo, oh, wo

(N. Bortolotti, S, Sicular, J. S. Smith)

Throw a coin in your fountain and I make a wish

Strolling up and down your street like a tourist

Driving on your highway there’s so much to discover

Around every turn is another treasure to uncover

Opening every door, every minute wanting more

11 steps to you

Though I’d prefer just one or two

It’s worth the climb just to see the view

11 steps to you

Not one too many or too few

11 steps to you

Walking on your beach the ocean dances with my feet

I stay ‘til darkness falls, the sunset makes the day complete

At least for today I’m lost in you and here I’ll stay

I want to take every step with you together

Where you go is where I wanna be forever

11 steps to you

One at a time to keep it new

Through cloudy skies I still can feel the blue

11 steps to you

And when we’re done there’s just us two

(N. Bortolotti, J. S. Smith)

You snore with all the pillows on your head

You got an Elvis phone right beside the bed

You can recite all the words to American Pie

You know that Brady Bunch reruns, they make you cry

You’re perfectly flawed, wonderfully odd

You got a beautiful way of making everything okay

You’re perfectly flawed, wonderfully odd

And someday they'll pay to clone your DNA

Caught you sneaking a smoke after a 10k run

And then you grill your tofu on a hamburger bun

You swing your moods just like a trampoline

You know you put the “O” back in OCD

You’re perfectly flawed, wonderfully odd

You got a beautiful way of making everything okay

You’re perfectly flawed, wonderfully odd

And I wouldn’t want to change a thing

No, I wouldn’t trade you for anything

Or, cover my ears when you sing (like everyone else does)

I love all the surprises that you bring

To my house at two in the morning

At least you’re never boring

You’re perfectly flawed, yeah yeah yeah

Oh, making everything okay

You’re perfectly flawed, wonderfully odd

You got a beautiful way of making everything okay

You’re perfectly flawed

You got me totally awed

I don’t care what other people say

Even though you call a million times a day

I wouldn’t want you any other way

(N. Bortolotti, J. S. Smith)

Don’t want to be your savior

But I don’t want to be your souvenir

Don’t want to be your forever, baby

Don’t want to be your favorite year

Between all and nothing is where you’ll find me

I want to be your lover

Blend all our colors into perfect harmony

I want to be your only other

Enjoy this moment as if it were eternity

Don’t want to journey too far

But I don’t want to be lost in your name

Don’t want to change who you are, baby

But I don’t want you to stay the same

Between all and nothing we’ll find a space to dream

I want to be your lover

Blend all our colors into perfect harmony

I want to be your only other

We only have today to build a lasting memory

We only have today to write our story

We only have today to get it right

If we just live today, tomorrow will be alright

I want to be your lover

Blend our voices into perfect harmony

I want to be your only other

Enjoy this moment as if it were eternity

Just you and me, yeah

(N. Bortolotti, J. S. Smith)

Meet at the show

After a few beers

We know we know

Much more than our peers

Now that we've drowned all of our fears

We start to imagine that we're so sincere

So home we go

Too cool for this place

Can’t be alone

That’s such a disgrace

Please ignore my look of distaste

You look like the guy that I want to replace

You got that same dumb look on your face

 Hello, come in

I love you, I need you

My my future ex-boyfriend

Love you, I need you

My my future ex-boyfriend

Let me tell you how this will end

I love you, I fix you

You’re my future ex-boyfriend

Now let's look

At your resume

What have you done

What does it say

Is there a possibility that this could be fate

We love to sneak into the movies and sleep in late

Got more demons

Than the night of the undead

More red flags than the Indy 500

It says right here that you never said

You keep your feelings

In a bottle hidden under your bed

Why can’t you let me inside of your head

I love you, I need you

My my future ex-boyfriend

Love you, I need you

My my future ex-boyfriend

Hello, come in

Let me tell you how this will end

I love you, I fix you

You’re my future ex-boyfriend

With time and care I know I’ll repair

Your smile, your shoes, your hair

In the meantime, follow my design all the time

I love you, I need you

You're perfectly afflicted

I can’t live without you

Just as I predicted

I love you, I need you

You’re the answer to my wishes

I can’t live without you

You’re magically delicious

I love you, I need you

My my future ex-boyfriend

Love you, I need you

My my future ex-boyfriend

Hello, come in

Let me tell you how this will end

I love you, I fix you

You’re my future ex-boyfriend

Can’t make you do what I say

Bye bye future ex-boyfriend

Can’t make you leave, can’t make you stay

Bye bye future ex-boyfriend

Can’t make you lie, can’t make you true

What am I gonna do about this tattoo?

You’re my future ex-boyfriend

Hate you, can’t fix you
