Rina Sawayama - Album: "Hold The Girl" (2022) Lyrics
Minor Feelings Lyrics
How am I supposed to feel
when you're telling me that nothing in my life is real
When you throw your words and hide behind a plastic shield
I just sit and smile
Writing my own fairytales
Building forts between the sofa and the windowsill
Dreaming of the day I'm tall enough to save myself
But I was just a child
What it takes to recognize
Emotions that I try to hide
The more I keep them all inside
The more they bury me alive
All my life I've felt out of place
All my life I've been saving face
For all these minor feelings are majorly breaking me down
(Breaking me down)
All my life you took me for a fool
All my life you told me what to do
All these minor feelings are majorly getting to me now

Hold The Girl Lyrics
Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot 'em long ago
So hold the girl
Hold the girl
Hold the girl
Hold the girl
Hold that girl
Hold that girl
Hold that girl
Sometimes I get down with guilt
For the promises I've broken to my younger self
Moving on, maybe I never will
'Cause I left you spinning on the carousel
Been living without you
Been living without you
Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot them long ago
I wanna remember
She is me and I am her
So hold the girl
Hold the girl
(You gotta) Hold that girl
(You gotta) Hold that girl (Ooh)
(You gotta) Hold that girl
(You gotta)
Sometimes I just wanna run away
Leave behind that old me, start again
Then I'll remember who I'm really made of
And she's been hide-and-seeking, waiting all alone
Been living without you
Been living without you (Oh)
Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot them long ago
I wanna remember
She is me and I am her
So hold the girl
Hold the girl
Close to your heart
Never ever let her go (Never let you go)
They'll tell you to sit up, and shut up, and grow up
What the hell do they know?
'Cause the girl in your soul's singing on
And you owe her the world
So hold the girl
Hold the girl
Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot about them so long ago
Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot them long ago
I wanna remember
She is me and I am her
So hold the girl
Hold the girl

This Hell Lyrics
(Let's go, girls)
Saw a poster on the corner opposite the motel
Turns out I'm going to hell if I keep on being myself
Don't know what I did, but they seem pretty mad about it
God hates us? Alright then! Buckle up, at dawn we're riding
Walk a mile on these coals, busy cleansing my soul
Getting ready for the night
Damned for eternity, but you're coming with me
Into the afterlife
This hell is better with you
We're burning up together
Baby, that makes two
'Cause the Devil's wearing Prada
And loves a little drama, ooh-ooh
This hell is better with you
With you
With you
Oh, with you
This hell is better with you
Flame red carpet moment, posing for the paparazzi
Fuck what they did to Britney, to Lady Di and Whitney
Don't know why we're here, but might as well get down and dirty
That Satan's looking thirsty, not even he can hurt me
Walk a mile on these coals, busy cleansing my soul
Getting ready for the night
Damned for eternity, but you're coming with me
Into the afterlife (Wow, that's hot)
This hell is better with you
We're burning up together, baby, that makes two
'Cause the Devil's wearing Prada
And loves a little drama, ooh-ooh
This hell is better with you
This life gave us nothing to lose
We're going down together, got our ticket for two
'Cause the Devil's wearing Prada
And loves a little drama, ooh-ooh
This hell is better with you
With you
With you
Oh, with you
(This hell is better with you)
Got my invitation to eternal damnation
Get in line, pass the wine, bitch
We're going straight to hell
Got my invitation to eternal damnation
Get in line, pass the wine, bitch
We're going straight to hell
This hell is better with you
We're burning up together, baby, that makes two
'Cause the Devil's wearing Prada
And loves a little drama, ooh-ooh
This hell is better with you
This hell is better with you (I'm in this hell with you)
This hell is better with you (With you, with you)
This hell is better with you (Ooh)
(This hell is better with you)

Catch Me In The Air Lyrics
Hey there, little girl, don't you wanna see the world?
Don't be scared
Well, hey there, little world are you ready for this girl?
Do you dare?
Only took nine months and a lot of love
Carried all our dreams and she's ready now, oooh
Hey there, little girl, don't you wanna see the world (Now let's go!)
I ran away where clouds kiss the mountain peaks
I was afraid but you put the wings on me
Feet on the edge
Feet on the edge
So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now)
Catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now, I'm flying, I'm flying)
Twenty years all alone, bound together to the phone
Was it fate?
Watched you decorating all the walls
Made a prison of our home
No escape
When you ran away where clouds kiss the mountain peaks
I was afraid but you left your wings on me
Feet on the edge
Feet on the edge
So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now)
Catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now, I'm flying)
So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
The air
And they will never know
The fear of making a mistake
The risk you take, the pain you create
But mama look at us now
High above the clouds
Yeah, I hope that you're, hope that you're proud
(Air, air, air, air, air, air)
So catch me in the air (The air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
The air (So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Mama, look at me now, I'm flying
(Air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Mama, look at me now, I'm flying
The air, yeah (The air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Save each other in every way
Feel the fears as we float in the sea
Look at us now, way past the clouds that haunted your dreams
I hope that you're proud
Save each other in every way
Feel the fear as we float in the sea
Look at us now
Way past the clouds that haunted your dreams
I hope that you're proud

Forgiveness Lyrics
Just when I thought
I'd weathered the storm
Rain starts to pour
Those same old tears back on my face
No escape, ooh
Ripped out the page
Rewrote the play
I did away with heroes and villains
And old scores
From cold wars
But the pain isn't done
No, no, when battle is won
So I'm running in circles again
Reaching dead ends
I guess I'm not over it yet
'Cause I'm, losing my mind
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
Sometimes it flips, so fast I don't know
I'm looking for signs
For some kinda of highway to letting it go, but
Forgiveness is a winding road
Dead on my feet
Walking these streets
I swear that I've been here before
Each way I turn
Yeah, I never learn
I'm chasing blue skies
'Cause I only see clouds in my eyes
So I'm running in circles again
Reaching dead ends
I guess I'm not over it yet
'Cause I'm, losing my mind
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
Sometimes it flips, so fast I don't know
I'm looking for signs
For some kinda of highway to letting it go
But forgiveness is a winding road
Yeah, oh
I'm still looking for that highway
Wondering if I went the right way
But I ain't lost
'Cause I'll be alright
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
Yeah, I'm taking two steps back to go forward
I'm looking for signs
For some kinda of highway to letting it go
I'm out of luck, but I still got hope
Are we nearly there yet? God only knows
But forgiveness is a winding road

Holy (Til You Let Me Go) Lyrics
Heavenly, that was me
A vision, at seventeen
Loves to read, loves to dream
The college of Magdalene
You saw a light, starting to shine
Wanted it only for your eyes
Older and wise, God on your side
I was innocent when you said I was evil
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
Found my peace when I lost my religion
All these years I wished I was different
But oh, oh
Now I know
I'm holy 'til you let me go
Tried to pray the pain away
Just like you taught me
(But something had changed)
Came to shelter from the blame
But I left taking all the shame
You saw a light, starting to shine
Wanted it only for your eyes
Older and wise, God on your side
(I was the martyr who paid for your life)
I was innocent when you said I was evil
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
Found my peace when I lost my religion
All these years I wished I was different
But oh, oh
Now I know
I'm holy 'til you let me go
I'm holy 'til you let me go
I'm holy 'til you let me go
I'm holy 'til you let me go
I'm holy 'til you let me go

Your Age Lyrics
Not a secret, not a problem
Not a symptom or cure
Not a villain, not a mistake
Not in the eyes of God
Not a weakness, not a failure
Not a saviour, oh no
Not a secret, not a problem
I, I
(I am the number you can never divide
You crossed the line, multiplied the lies
I survived a social suicide)
I, I
(Decisions were not mine
You closed me off, a jail personified
I survived a social suicide)
'Cause now that I'm your age
I just can't imagine
Why did you do it?
What the hell were you thinking?
'Cause I'm not a secret
And I'm not a problem
Why did you it?
What the hell were you thinking?
'Cause now that I'm your age
'Cause now that I'm your age
'Cause now that I'm your age
'Cause now that I'm your age
You know, we all have a monster inside of us
But you, you fucked with my life

Imagining Lyrics
Could we be imagining
Could we be imagining
Could we be-
Wide awake
Didn't mean to lose my precious mind today (Mind today)
Sick to the waking of so far away (So far away)
I don't know if Mercury's in retrograde
Am I okay? Nah
I don't wanna get too close, shit gets complicated (Ah)
I don't wanna take it off, emotionally naked (Ah)
Really don't feel too good, fake it 'til you make it (Ah)
I don't wanna talk right now, got me agitated
I'm imagining
So tell me what the fuck is up? What's happening?
Right now my sanity is gone, it's vanishing
I know I do this to myself, it's damaging
I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm imagining
So tell me what the fuck is up? What's happening?
Right now my sanity is gone, it's vanishing
I know I do this to myself, it's damaging
I, I, I, I, I, I (Oh)
Could we be imagining?
I, I, I, I, I, I
My belly aches—lay, okay?
Suddenly I find it hard to concentrate, yeah
Struggling to recognize a side of me, uh
I just wanna short circuit the night away
Am I okay? Nah
I don't wanna get too close, shit gets complicated (Ah)
I don't wanna take it off, emotionally naked (Ah)
Really don't feel too good, fake it 'til you make it (Ah)
I don't wanna talk right now, got me agitated
I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm imagining
So tell me what the fuck is up? What's happening?
Right now my sanity is gone, it's vanishing
I know I do this to myself, it's damaging
I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm imagining
So tell me what the fuck is up? What's happening?
Right now my sanity is gone, it's vanishing
I know I do this to myself, it's damaging
I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm imagining
So tell me what the fuck is up? What's happening?
Right now my sanity is gone, it's vanishing
I know I do this to myself, it's damaging
Could we be imagining?
Could we be imagining?
Could we be imagining?
Could we be imagining?
Could we be imagining?
Could we be imagining?
Could we be imagining?
Could we be imagining?

Frankenstein Lyrics
Put me together
Thread a needle
So I'm like other people
Without all of the evil
I'm trying to be normal
But trauma is immortal
And none of this is your fault
Oh my God, this is so unbearable
Make it stop, this is more than medical
All I want is
To feel beautiful inside and out
You're the one that can save me from myself
Destruction, triple nine, I need your help
All I want is
To feel beautiful
Put me together one more time
Love me forever, fix me right
I can be your Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Put me together, make me better
Love me forever, hold me tight
I can be your Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster
I was doing fine
'Til I hit rock bottom
Opened up my problems
Watch the poison blossom
Oh my God, this is so unbearable
Make it stop, this is more than medical
All I want is
To feel beautiful inside and out
You're the one that can save me from myself
Destruction, triple nine, I need your help
All I want is
To feel beautiful
Put me together one more time
Love me forever, fix me right
I can be your Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Put me together, make me better
Love me forever, hold me tight
I can be your Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster
I don't wanna be a monster anymore
I don't wanna be a monster

Hurricanes Lyrics
April showers finally making way for warmer weather
But yet I still feel the same
Doing yoga just to feel untethered, but my mind keeps
Ru-ru-ru-running away
Chasing hurricanes
'Cause I can't feel the rain
Second guess my pain
'Cause I've been walking around in chains
So won't you give me a sign if you're really there?
'Cause I've been lost inside waiting on a prayer
Until I find your door, until the wind blows north
I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes
Always wanted to be best at everything
Even when it brings out the worst in myself (Worst in myself)
So I create a storm and bury it deep, hiding the key
In plain sight just in case I need help, help
Chasing hurricanes
'Cause I can't feel the rain
So won't you give me a sign if you're really there?
'Cause I've been lost inside waiting on a prayer
Until I find your door, until the wind blows north
I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes
So won't you give me a ride? Be my getaway?
I'm not the girl I tried to be yesterday
Until I find your door, until the wind blows north
I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes
Oh, I'm in a cyclone, I'm spinning
Crashed through the floor
Don't give me heaven, I'm flying
Tearing down the doors of this city
Ooh, you know I'm running, I'm running
Running into hurricanes
So won't you give me a sign if you're really there?
'Cause I've been lost inside waiting on a prayer
Until I find your door, until the wind blows north
I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes
So won't you give me a ride? Be my getaway?
I'm not the girl I tried to be yesterday
Until I find your door, until the wind blows north
I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes

Send My Love To John Lyrics
Cross the border in the summer of '73
Left my mother to go after the American Dream
Ooh, threw away my name
Ooh, it's easier when it sounds the same
All I ever wanted was for you to have a better chance
Go to college, find a good girl that you take to a dance
Ooh, pictured you with her
Ooh, but that was never who you were
And I'm sorry for the things I've done
A misguided love to my only son
Trying to protect you but I guess I was wrong
So send my love, send my love to John
Saw the way the kids treated you everyday at school
I should've blamed them but instead I hid behind the Bible's rules
Ooh, prayed to God above
Ooh, but all you needed was my love
And I'm sorry for the things I've done
A misguided love to my only son
We had both had to leave our mothers to get the things we want
So send my love, send my love to John (Ooh)
Ooh, John
And I see that he takes care of you
From the food he makes, he's there for you
In all the ways I never was, ooh
And I'm sorry for the things I've done
A misguided love to my only son
But I love to see you happy
And right where you belong
So send my love
Oh, send my love
Send my love to John

Phantom Lyrics
Once upon a time
There was a girl, pleasing the world
Dying to be liked, looking for love
Wanting to trust
Stickers and scented gel pens
Give possessions
Get friends
Breaking off pieces, things started to change
I've been tryna find her since, she gave a little too much away
I don't wanna do this without you
I don't wanna do this if you're just a ghost in the night
I tried everything to fill up the void that you left me with
My phantom
Phantom
If I could talk to you, I'd tell you not to rush
You're good enough
You don't have to lose, what makes you you
Still got some growing to do
When did we get so estranged
Haunted by the way I've changed
Claiming back the pieces of me that I've lost
Reaching in and hoping you're still, waiting by the windowsill
I'd bring you back to us
I don't wanna do this without you
I don't wanna do this if you're just a ghost in the night
I tried everything to fill up the void that you left me with
My phantom
I was wrong to assume, I would ever outgrow you
I need you now, I need you close
How do you hold a ghost
Inner child, come back to me, I wanna tell you that I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I don't wanna do this without you
I don't wanna do this if you're just a ghost in the night
I tried everything to fill up the void that you left me with
My phantom
Don't wanna do this without you
Don't wanna do this if you're locked away in my mind
I tried everything to fill up the void that you left me with
My phantom
Phantom, phantom
Phantom, phantom
Once upon a time
There was a girl
Dying to be liked
Looking for love
I don't wanna do this without you

To Be Alive Lyrics
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Blue skies always there behind the rain, rain
Oceans swallow all of our feelings
I know it's just temporary pain, pain
'Cause I used to make my world so small
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
I never thought that I'd get this right
But I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
Darkness used to wrap its arms around me
I used to bring it with me everywhere, where
I swear that sometimes I get to be my worst enemy
I swear this is all the time, the answers spin right in front of me
All of the beauty and love I cannot see
I see it now
I see it now
'Cause I used to make my world so small
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
I never thought that I'd get this right
But I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they're dying

Flavour of the Month Lyrics
January used to keep me warm
Wore me like an icy Audemars
Drape me on your jet black Yamaha
I, I was your flavor of the month
Gave you a taste of what you want
Mint chocolate, scoops of bubblegum
Tastes so sweet, you couldn't get enough
I, I was your flavor of the month
Thought that I was your favorite
But it's clear that you like something different
So don't waste my time
Won't you tell me what you like?
'Cause good taste, it don't last forever
(No, no, no)
(Strawberry kisses)
We were melting in the sun
(I'm so delicious)
Got that tingle on your tongue
(Don't act suspicious)
If I'm not the only one
(No conversation)
Tell me your flavor of the month
Tell me your flavor of the month
Spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning me round
Swallow me, swallow me, swallow me, swallow me down
Taking a piece of me whenever you come around
I'll be your, I'll be your favorite flavor for now
Spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning me round
Swallow me, swallow me, swallow me, swallow me down
Taking a piece of me whenever you come around
I'll be your favorite for now
(Strawberry kisses)
We were melting in the sun
(I'm so delicious)
Got that tingle on your tongue
(Don't act suspicious)
If I'm not the only one
(No conversation)
Tell me your flavor of the month
(Strawberry kisses)
We were melting in the sun
(I'm so delicious)
Got that tingle on your tongue
(Don't act suspicious)
If I'm not the only one
(No conversation)
Tell me your flavor of the month
Tell me your flavor of the month
I came to be delicious
My tendency is vicious
Come sample me, O-M-G
I'm not like vanilla bitches
You're taking a piece of me whenever you come around
I'll be your favorite for now
