    These CD’s were handmade by Megan and her friends, so no two CD’s are exactly alike! If you purchase one of these, are you going to receive a burned CD in a construction paper sleeve that we then wrote the track listing on in Sharpie? Yeah! And that's actually really sweet.

Gotta go to bed you’re on east coast time But I’m so centrally located So I’ll get stoned and dance home alone to all the songs I know you hated Cause I’m not the girl that you’d thought I’d be And you’re not the one who is right for me And we’ll both find out eventually When you turn your back and leave You looked me in the eyes and asked who let me go and didn’t find it cute when I began to list them And even though I hate their guts and wish they’re dead There’s not a world where I would not have kissed them Cause I’m a girl who stays too long Convinced that I’m the one who’s wrong And soon enough you’ll join their club When you turn your back and leave

He's So Easy 02:59
He doesn’t like scary movies but his friends do So he has to watch them too It’s not his favorite bar, but if everyone’s going Guaranteed you’ll see him there He’s so easy So easy So easy To be around So easy to be around He recently discovered a popular band He read about them in a book A book that someone else recommended to him But someone recommended it to them He’s so easy So easy So easy To be around So easy to be around He’s so nice So nice So nice To be around So nice to be around One time I asked him what he’s thinking And he found a way to curve me Never know just what he’s feeling Always waiting for direction From another guy or girlfriend Who seems so put together Surely all of their opinions Are more informed and better Who is he? Just the sum of everyone he’s ever met He’s so easy So easy So easy To be around So easy to be around He’s so nice So nice So nice To be around So nice to be around Agreeable And affable And amiable So easy to be around

Cherryweird 01:28
I cried at the movies and I cried at the party And I cried outside a place I’m not allowed in anymore I cried in the drive-thru and I cried all over Texas And I still have so many tears to cry I’ll never get back the love I gave you I’ll never get back the love I gave you The least you could do is disappear So I’m not reminded that it’s still yours The moon’s not shining, there’s just a spotlight on her The moon’s not shining, there’s just a spotlight on her I’m not shining, there’s just a spotlight on me I’m not shining, there’s just a spotlight on me I’m much bigger than you give me credit for I’m not worried if I’m clever anymore A compliment won’t tide me over If you won’t love me I’ll do it myself If you won’t love me I’ll do it myself If you won’t love me I’ll do it myself If you won’t love me I’ll do it myself If you won’t love me I’ll just do it myself

Are You? 02:51
When you think of me what do I have on? Think less I’m dressed for your best Enmeshed in velvet warm and restless I can take you there Flooded by the thought The mere suggestion Are you alone Do you wonder where we stand Your car is at your house are you? When you’re out at night who do you call on? Think less I’m pressed to your chest The flesh indented by my necklace I can be the one Always on time Controlled and jealous Are you alone Do you wonder where we stand Your car is at your house are you? Are you alone Do you wonder where we stand Your car is at your house are you? Your car is at your house are you?

Nice Stuff 01:51
I’ve got a crush on the bassist of a band And he knows my name but he doesn’t know my deal And if he got to know me I think he’d find we have some common interests And when he’s on stage my face gets hot And I say things that don’t make any sense Like nice stuff? I’ve never said nice stuff to anyone my whole life Oh bassist in the band, who let you be so tall, with hair down to your chest, and jeans so small If I got you alone I’d take off all your clothes and Talk about our common interests I’ve got a crush on the bassist of a band And he knows my name but he’ll never know my deal Cause when you look like that it’s just unfair To take you off the market And when he’s on tour I’ll miss him way too much And text him all the time and that’ll come off clingy So when we talk it’s best I just say weird things like nice stuff to you

Too Loud 02:56
Am I too loud? Would you tell me if you thought so? Oh no If you saw me at a party Would you avoid me Say no What will I wear To my own funeral A look that says I’m sorry You shouldn’t have to take off work For me I got it in my head so long ago You gotta be small to let the boys grow Am I too loud? You know I don’t really think so When my name is on your phone screen Do you avoid me? Say no What will I wear To my big award show The best supporting actress In a movie of my own life I got it in my head so long ago You gotta be small to let the boys grow I’m not a chore you can put off doing A reward for the bare minimum A light switch that you turn on and off And on and off and on and off as you please I’m a ghost with business to finish I’m a glass house used to the stones I’m the look on your mother’s face that lets you know That you’ve done something wrong and I’ll always know I’ll always know I’ll always know I’ll always know

Cut My Hair 02:16
Tuesday is my favorite day cause it’s the only one with standing plans If we didn’t have the bachelor franchise would I even have friends? Coffee doesn’t do it for me anymore, the only thing that Wakes me up is anxiety / constructing what they did last night without me While I’m on the shelf Passed up for anyone else And I’m cutting all my nails so I can play the songs I know And I’m cutting my own hair so I can take back some control And I’m wondering why I even have a fucking phone Cause I’m growing up all alone I get off work at 4pm and from that point on I refresh my feed It’s not until I actually leave my house that I remember we’re all lying Staring at the blinking cursor just willing it to come with with something More profound and interesting than I miss you and I’m sorry And I’m cutting all my nails so I can play the songs I know And I’m cutting my own hair so I can take back some control And I’m wondering why I even have a fucking phone Cause I’m growing up all alone, alone

You say you’re glad that we’re friends Then the moment we’re alone You take me in your hands What a friendly thing to do What a friendly thing to do I’m happy we are talking but I think I must have misunderstood I was operating under the assumption you said the truth When you said you couldn’t be with someone but I think she would disagree Tell me am I crazy or did I catch on? You’ll never say another word Won’t look me in the eye What a friendly thing to do What a friendly thing to do What a friendly thing to do
