Woke up in the morning
Stretched out and yawning
I'm still tired as hell
My head ain't well
Four hours of sleeping
A lot of bad dreaming
I don't feel like myself
But who can I tell?
You've got me wound up like a wire baby
I don't have the will or desire
Cause I feel like a loser girl
A loser girl
It's harder to swallow the bitter pills
Afraid and I'm frantic
A hopeless romantic in love
I'm staring in space man
A basket case from what you're putting me through
I've come unglued
I'm pulling the rip chord
But baby you're holding on to the parachute
What can I do?
I gave you everything that you wanted baby
It may be time to throw down the gauntlet
Cause I feel like a loser girl
A loser girl
Spinning around this big bad world
Afraid and I'm frantic
A hopeless romantic in love
It feels like I'm losing touch
Of the things I held so close to my heart when I met you
Now it feels like I might be forgetting who I am
Cause I feel like a loser girl
A loser girl
Spinning around this big bad world
Afraid and I'm frantic
A hopeless romantic
Loser girl
A loser girl
It's harder to swallow the bitter pills
Afraid and I'm frantic
A hopeless romantic in love

Superhero Star

I wanna be a superhero star
The one you can count on to save the day
And take you away from the siren alarms
Safe from the harm of the loveless nights in free fall
I won't let you slip away
I wanna be a modern new age man
And Sing to your heart in a summer song
What could go wrong
That's not already screwed
Between me and you, I'd swim through oceans on the moon
Only to be with you
Could be I've watched too many movies
Not every story line rings true
We may not ride off into the sunset
But I'm willing to try just for you
Only you
Only you
I won't let you slip away
But I'm willing to try just for you
Ohh ooh
Be my superhero love
Maybe I've lost the plot completely
Could be I'm blinded by these blues
After all I'm just ordinary
Not a fictional slant on the truth
I wanna be your superhero star
That clings to the hope love can win the day
And maybe to say run away with me
We'll make it you see
We'll be safe from the harm of those loveless nights in free fall
I won't let you slip away
In free fall

Friday
At the Boulevard
The drinks they pour like rain
And the folks there know your name
But they don't know you
Pool sharks
Girls with wounded hearts
The whiskey numbs their brains
And the smoke stained window panes
Reflect the sad view
And it all just slips away
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
When you're caught up in a race
And it's fate you can't outrun
Blame it on the bullet
Not the gun
Monday
On the morning train
The travelers stumble in
Wearing suits like second skin
Expressions vacant
Deadlines
Working overtime
The wheel, it always turns
Till they're ashes in the urn
With no one to claim them
And they all just fade away
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
When you play the cards you're dealt
In a game that's never won
Blame it on the bullet
Not the gun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Blame it on the bullet
Blame it on the bullet
Blame it on the bullet
Not the gun

Hey, get out of your head Get out of your bed
It's noon on a Monday
You've been sulking around Since he let you down
And moved out to L.A
If you only knew, what he's thinking of you
You wouldn't waste the time
If you opened up your mind
Then I could mend your heart
When it's been broke and battered
When all your dreams are shattered
I could mend your heart
He, he was no good
He misunderstood
Your every intention
But you, stood by his side
Ignoring your pride
Demanding attention
When I tried to say
He would leave you someday
You didn't want to listen
Said you trusted your intuition
But I could mend your heart
When it's been torn and tattered
When all your dreams are scattered
I could mend your heart
If you give me a chance
I'll take it
I will show you everything that you are
The brightest light from a distant star
You shine far
But I could mend your heart
When it's been torn and tattered
When all your dreams are scattered
I could mend, I could mend
And I could mend your heart
When it's been broke and battered
When all your dreams are shattered
In all of the things that matter
I could mend
I could mend your heart

I'm Sorry

I'm Sorry
I'm Sorry
That I did you wrong
I guess it's time
To leave here
You've waited
Frustrated
Now you're moving on
I guess it's time
I guess it's time
I'm sorry
So sorry
That we've been through hell
I guess it's time
I'm leaving
How am I supposed to deal with fear
How am I supposed to deal with pain
What am I supposed to do
When evening comes around
You're nowhere to be found
It's such a shame
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you
But I did this time
I did this time
How am I supposed to see through tears
I know that I'm the only one to blame
How am I supposed to get through every day
When you're the only voice
I wanna hear
When it rains
I'm sorry
So Sorry
That I let you down
But I guess it's time
We let it go
I guess it's time
I think you know
I guess it's time
I guess it's time

Track 1 hooked me out of the gate, and it's an 11-way tie for 2nd-favourite. The lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, dynamics, performance and production are excellent throughout. Others have used the word "fresh" to describe Tamar's music, and I agree. I'm never sure what will happen next and that's what makes it so exciting!
