Amy: I love this track, I've already said before that you're a very unique act and this just proves that once again. It's another great track and you can both definitely take over this industry, You're my new favourite act and I cannot wait to get this record and hear more songs :)

Adam: Wow! ... I'm from Vegas, this album definitely isn't representative of my Vegas Nights, it was more PJ's, popcorn, crippling loneliness and Star Wars movie marathons!

Release date: 1st October, 2012
Genre: Indie pop, indie rock, alternative hip hop
Label: North Hill Records
Producer(s): Jared Nevo
Writer(s): Arianna Harley, Jared Nevo


Further into the start of the record, "Cadillac Jack" carries on from where "Red Lips" left off, a number of similarities seen in the two. Although many will think of it as a sexy track, Arianna describes it more as "goofy" due to the fun both her and Jared had writing it. Despite that, Arianna's seductive vocals come into good use for this track, especially for a song about a hot and steamy car ride with a male lover. This time round, Arianna is the sole vocalist on the track while Jared sticks to the production side of things. The song is less hip-hop influenced unlike "Red Lips", instead taking on a more indie pop sound. Production wise, it's kept laidback and simplistic, as Arianna's voice glides over a backing of relaxed piano and horns.

"This song was just really fun for me and Jared to write, I had to giggle a lot during this, I see it as more of a goofy track than a sexy one. Oh, and it's not based on a real life experience, I can promise that much," Arianna assures. "I think whenever someone thinks of a wild Vegas night, sex definitely comes into it, so it was important for us to include it into the album in a way that still had some charm and class to it, so I hope we achieved that."

"It's not my number one favourite on the album, but it's still one that both me and Arianna are proud of, it's definitely up there," Jared confesses. "I just think Arianna's voice goes hand in hand with the music to this song, she pulls that old school feel off well. There's a number of our songs that I could imagine being played in a quiet smokey bar back in the 60s, and this is definitely one of them."


"Cadillac Jack"
Written by Arianna Harley and Jared Nevo.
Produced by Jared Nevo.

I'm dressed in all red, he looks down to my lips
Tells me that I'm his fantasy that's just come true
Runs his fingers slowly over my hips
Asked me what I wanted to do and I gave him a clue
Led him into the back of his car by his tie
On top of him, I leaned over and said to him
"I don't do this often, I'm a little shy"
He shook his head with a grin, lips that taste of gin
Baby, let the fun begin

And if you think we're gonna go slow
You've got another thing coming
Come on, let's put on a show
And we'll regret nothing

Now we're steaming up all the windows
Kissing on each other when no one's watching
Skin as white as snow, lips as red as a rose
Tells me I'm beautiful, and this car's never stopping
Said he wanted me from the minute I walked into the room
Now he's on me like a new perfume
Cadillac Jack, riding around the block
Making love in the backseat of your car
Cadillac Jack, don't ever stop
Tell me I'm the brightest star

Now we're riding faster in his car
Don't know where we're going, but it's somewhere far
And I'm lost in the moment with Cadillac Jack
But it doesn't matter, there's nothing he lacks, he's a true maniac
And he's giving me everything I need
Cadillac Jack, don't slow down the speed
Let's go on and on and on and on and on...

And if you think we're gonna go slow
You've got another thing coming
Come on, let's put on a show
And we'll regret nothing

Now we're steaming up all the windows
Kissing on each other when no one's watching
Skin as white as snow, lips as red as a rose
Tells me I'm beautiful, and this car's never stopping
Said he wanted me from the minute I walked into the room
Now he's on me like a new perfume
Cadillac Jack, riding around the block
Making love in the backseat of your car
Cadillac Jack, don't ever stop
Tell me I'm the brightest star

Let's keep on going till the wheels fall off
Smokin' his cigar and rockin' out to heavy metal
Asks nicely for me to take off my clothes
And then he slams his foot down on the pedal
Let's ride around town just once more
Cadillac Jack, he knows how to please
As I reach my hand out and lock the doors
He whispers in my ear a bunch of guarantees
Things that I could never repeat
He said I'm too darn sweet

And if you think we're gonna go slow
You've got another thing coming
Come on, let's put on a show
And we'll regret nothing

Come on boy, this kitten wants to play
Give her what she wants, let's run away
We'll go at the speed of light, outta sight
Driving down a long, long road from day till night

Now we're steaming up all the windows
Kissing on each other when no one's watching
Skin as white as snow, lips as red as a rose
Tells me I'm beautiful, and this car's never stopping
Said he wanted me from the minute I walked into the room
Now he's on me like a new perfume
Cadillac Jack, riding around the block
Making love in the backseat of your car
Cadillac Jack, don't ever stop
Tell me I'm the brightest star

Writer(s): Arianna Harley, Jared Nevo


Track number four is "Movie Scene Queens", a song that both Arianna and Jared have agreed on being one of their favourites on the record due to the subject of its lyrics that deal with fame and the heartless souls that possess it. The track is the slowest and most ballad-like song on the album, almost sounding like a song from an epic thriller movie as the song builds in tempo towards the chorus, before haunting strings and a steady drum beat are added to the mix. Paired with lyrics such as "Lips blood red and a body full of cocaine" and "She'd fuck you for just a little more press" in the chorus, "Movie Scene Queens" is definitely one track to remember on the record.

When commenting on the song, Arianna said, "It was important for me and Jared to find a nice balance between the more fun, carefree songs and songs with a lot more depth to them, and "Movie Scene Queens" was a great way of showing a different side to us. We wanted to show that for an indie duo, we really don't think of ourselves as more credible than anyone else. We just wanted to show that we don't take ourselves all that seriously, but that we're still able to make songs like this one."

"You get those classic songs in certain Hollywood movies where there's these really dramatic strings that add a lot to the scene, if you were to put it on mute, it just entirely loses the effect that it gives," Jared added. "So we thought it'd be a cool idea to go with that idea and steer away from the typical piano-ballads, and I'm glad we did, because it's got that real Hollywood movie sound to it now to go perfectly with the song."

BOTH

What's the point in being pretty when you've got an ugly soul?
Had a big heart, now replaced by an empty hole
Oh honey, didn't your mother tell you?
Superficial goals lead to superficial results
Bet you'd rather be caught dead than be seen pure and true
Too blinded by the bright lights of the camera bulbs

Pucker up girl, you're on film
Here's your time to shine, so take a shot
Make yourself beautiful, now go get your claim to fame
Cause in this industry, you're only as good as you look

Lips blood red and a body full of cocaine
Love you for the night and then forget your name
Every time she cries, it rains
Bathe in champagne to forget the pain
She'd fuck you for just a little more press
She'd claim she loves you more than the rest
A movie scene queen, and a deep down disaster
She's never gonna get her happy ever after

Sticks and stones don't hurt more than her words
Tongue so sharp, she'd cut through you like a knife
She doesn't feel, so she doesn't care if it hurts
The day you met her was the worst day of your life
Cause she chews 'em up, then spits 'em out
Got no regrets, and she's certainly got no doubts

Pucker up girl, you're on film
Here's your time to shine, so take a shot
Make yourself beautiful, now go get your claim to fame
Cause in this industry, you're only as good as you look

Lips blood red and a body full of cocaine
Love you for the night and then forget your name
Every time she cries, it rains
Bathe in champagne to forget the pain
She'd fuck you for just a little more press
She'd claim she loves you more than the rest
A movie scene queen, and a deep down disaster
She's never gonna get her happy ever after

And it's a sad tragedy when you could have had it all
When you've got beauty, but lost the brains along the way
When that smile you wore wasn't just a cover up
You smiled so bright cause you were so cherished and adored
Now you smile thinking of the past, that's where you seem to live
Cause if you're living in the moment, you may as well live in hell

Lips blood red and a body full of cocaine
Love you for the night and then forget your name
Every time she cries, it rains
Bathe in champagne to forget the pain
She'd fuck you for just a little more press
She'd claim she loves you more than the rest
A movie scene queen, and a deep down disaster
She's never gonna get her happy ever after

Cassie: I'll be honest, the word ballad nearly put me off before I had even begun to listen to this track. I shouldn't have worried: its Hey Lolita, and you guys are the band of the moment for me. You may not get all the praise from all corners of the earth, but I love it. Really great work again.

Ryan: I've always loved you guys and never been shy about it all. Your debut EP earlier this year was phenomenal, it showcased some amazing songwriting and production as well as your own beautiful voices. Judging from the first 4 songs from this record, this shall not disappoint either. Movie Scene Queens is definitely my favourite thus far, it's stunning and im a sucker for ballads.

Arianna: Thank you so much, darling! (giggles) That is such a huge compliment coming from someone like you, I'm a big fan of your work, so that's very, very flattering. That song is a special one to me, hopefully you like a few more on the record. :)

We've got big dreams, with little hope
But we fool ourselves we've got a chance
Tell ourselves we'll hit the jackpot one day
We'd hit the road down to Vegas
Dollar by dollar into rusty slot machines
We'd go and blow it all by night
Our happiness is only temporary
Nothing lasts for eternity

I'm piling up the scratch cards
Rolling joints in the yard
This ain't how I wanna be all my life
And yet they say we're lucky to be alive
I could use some of that luck on the lottery
Drown in dollars as if we set up a robbery

What's this life worth to me?
I've got dreams and ambitions of what I could be
Don't remind me that this wasn't the plan
I'm too proud to admit that I'm a broke man
Try to scrape together enough to live, say I'll be set
But I'm counting up the nothingness in my wallet
She's like, "Honey, sing a different tune"
We both know this struggle ain't gonna end any time soon

We've got big dreams, with little hope
But we fool ourselves we've got a chance
Tell ourselves we'll hit the jackpot one day
We'd hit the road down to Vegas
Dollar by dollar into rusty slot machines
We'd go and blow it all by night
Our happiness is only temporary
Nothing lasts for eternity

Searching the streets for twenty cents
Hoping we'll make enough to pay the rent
We smile, but who are we kidding?
We try, cause it's easier than quitting
We're fighters, and we'd kill to have it all
And for the hell of it, we'd empty out Fashion Show Mall

Storing our dreams up in a jar
One day, we'll buy all our friends drinks at the bar
Smoking cigars, driving around in fancy cars
Tell me it's okay for just a moment to be bizarre
No, I can't think of anything that compares
To have it all and be a millionaire
He tells me to pucker up and get rid of that frown
We're about to blow up the town

We've got big dreams, with little hope
But we fool ourselves we've got a chance
Tell ourselves we'll hit the jackpot one day
We'd hit the road down to Vegas
Dollar by dollar into rusty slot machines
We'd go and blow it all by night
Our happiness is only temporary
Nothing lasts for eternity

I might be a little unrealistic
Tell me, what's wrong with being optimistic?
If we can't dream, what can we do?
Counting our spare change, feeling blue
But who knew, yeah, who knew we'd do it all ourselves?
We earnt every dollar of our own wealth

We've got big dreams, with little hope
To hell with the days when we couldn't cope
We hit the jackpot sooner or later
Yeah, baby, we're the money maker
Don't need no big shot to hand over a cheque
We broke our own necks
We're the lion hearted
Going after the life we wanted

I'm the lady in red, scarlet lips
And the shortest dress that'd make my daddy blush
You could put me in a movie if you could
I was always told I was suited for the big screen
Living a life with paper-thin dreams
That wear thin after a day, onto the next thing
Honey, this was only ever meant to be a cheap fling
I don't even love you, you're not my man
And I'm certainly not your woman
Every promise I said is gone tonight
Now watch me take off my wedding ring

He threw me down and kissed me on the lips
Tried to tell me that I loved him really
Said he saw me speak them vows with truth
In my watery eyes and beautiful white dress
I told him it was all an illusion
I don't remember a thing
I'm leaving home tonight and living downtown
I'm so merciless, baby, but I can't help it
I don't even remember your name

I'm the lady in black, veil over my eyes
Still rocking the short dress over your gravestone
Looking at the names of all fifty in a row
I was a lover to each and every one of them
Still, I could never give myself to any of them
I can't help it if I think there's more of the world to see
He said he loved me, something I never believed
Who could love someone as cold hearted as me?
Not a single one of you could ignite a flame in me

I wish he'd wake up now and spin me round
Try to make me fall in love with him
I'm lonely, I'm lost, no luck with love
Tears run down my cheeks, no hand to hold
Tell me this is all make believe
I didn't plan my life like this
I wanna go back to the days when I were pretty,
Youthful and could still sport those heels I loved
I'd put 'em to good use
Brick by brick, I'd build up something of my own

So can I throw my hands up and admit it
I failed in life, made nothing of myself
There's no point in the shoulda, woulda, coulda game
There's no one but myself to blame
I'm weak and withering
Without a single soul left who loves me

Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah
Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah
Came into town to ruin one more life
And now she's leaving as your ex wife
Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah
Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah

I wish he'd wake up now and spin me round
Try to make me fall in love with him
I'm lonely, I'm lost, no luck with love
Tears run down my cheeks, no hand to hold
Tell me this is all make believe
I didn't plan my life like this
I wanna go back to the days when I were pretty,
Youthful and could still sport those heels I loved
I'd put 'em to good use
Brick by brick, I'd build up something of my own

Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah
Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah
Came into town to ruin one more life
And now she's leaving as your ex wife
Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah
Oh, she's a cold hearted lover, yeah, yeah

Wind blowing up her skirt
She bites her lip and looks the other way
Looks so good it hurts
And all the men wanna play
Cherry red lips, white dress
And a set of legs that go on for days

She's a sex icon, they wanna see what's underneath
Pearl necklace, pretty as a picture
Every man in town wants her to himself, take her out and show her off
If looks could kill, she'd be a beautiful killer
She puts on a show, then off she goes
She'll make you stop in your tracks
You think she looks so good, and damn, she knows

Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
Let me take you on a date
Give you a good time you won't regret
If I had a girl like that on my arm
I'd treat her like a queen, put her to no harm
Marilyn, give me one single chance
And I promise this won't be your last dance

Hair blowing in the wind
She's the best looking girl in the room
Behind that smile, you'd be surprised with what you'd find
She's every man's object of desire
Makes the boys weak, drop on their knees
Call her stunnin' and she'll call you a liar
She's classy, she's modest, that's what makes you want her more

She gets serenaded with cliché love songs
She'll giggle at you sweetly
Doesn't know where her heart belongs
She's lonely behind the smile
Sipping on her Dom Perignon
Waiting for her saviour
Lost in all the danger, danger, danger

(x2)
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
Let me take you on a date
Give you a good time you won't regret
If I had a girl like that on my arm
I'd treat her like a queen, put her to no harm

And I promise this won't be your last dance

Cassie: If they ever ban internet porn and I can't get any lovin' I just know that I'll be keeping this album close by. Marilyn is, once again, so sexual, and I love the imagery in it. Seriously, you guys make the sexiest music ever, and I can just imagine spending some...alone time with it, in bed, in the bath, who knows ;) You two are both also hot as hell, which helps too ;)

Release date: 1st October, 2012
Genre: Indie pop, indie rock, alternative hip hop
Label: North Hill Records
Producer(s): Jared Nevo
Writer(s): Arianna Harley, Jared Nevo


"What You Don't Know" is the most rock-influenced track on the album, and one that is described as the most "open and honest" according to Arianna, who sings solely on the track. With one look at the lyrics, it's not hard to guess what situation inspired the song, but the duo remain as tight-lipped as possible about them. Opening with a slight acoustic feel to it with a gentle backing of acoustic guitar, the song soon builds starting from the second verse, before soaring electric guitars and drums create a powerful chorus, featuring the most impressive vocals heard from Arianna to date. It's a huge difference from the laidback, sultry vocals that are heard on plenty other Hey Lolita songs, but this one alone shows that she can adapt very well to other styles.

"Out of every song we've ever recorded, this is the most open and honest one we've ever done," Arianna confesses. But without giving too much away on the real meaning behind it, she adds, "It's every man or woman for his or herself in this world, and it's that whole mind frame in this song where you've got yourself into the worst situation ever, but you're trying to protect yourself. I've made mistakes in the past which have definitely made this a personal song to me, so I hope others can relate to it in some way."

"The sound of this track definitely just felt natural, it's got a lot of emotion in it, and I think all those rock power ballads are really the ones that go down as classics because they work so well," Jared follows on, discussing the sound of the song. "We listened to a lot of songs for inspiration during the recording stage, so it's those old classics that definitely helped us to add some rock into the album."


"What You Don't Know"
Written by Arianna Harley and Jared Nevo.
Produced by Jared Nevo.

We all tell lies to protect the ones we love
Keep the pain away for just a little longer
And the longer you wait, the more it hurts
But it's never gonna disappear
We all tell lies to save ourselves
Keep the pain away, save it for another day
Time's never been a friend of mine
It's just sitting, waiting to unravel the truth

We all tell lies to cover up the fact everything is fucked up
Let's pretend that things were never better
We somehow hope situations will fix themselves
As if somehow someone favours the choices we're making
We all tell lies to continue living the fairytale
But this time, it's not gonna have a happy ending
God's probably laughing from above
Whatever happened to true love?

Really, the heartbreak is just building up
And it's only gonna send you crashing down
I'm slowly spiralling out of control
Good girl now with an evil heart, broken soul
Was it all really worth it?
Hate me for it, I deserve it

Got a tainted body as if I'm covered in tattoos
Cigarettes and whisky just won't help me get through
I was sick of the lonely nights, it's more fun with two
Call you up, come and make me feel brand new
Trust me, I hate me for it, I'm not a fan of being untrue
But darling, what you don't know won't hurt you

We all tell lies, don't panic, it's under control
It takes two to become unfaithful
But all these sins, I wanna shake them free
You're the devil, but I'm too blind to see
Lust always covers up reality
And I just can't see that you're no good for me

Really, the heartbreak is just building up
And it's only gonna send you crashing down
I'm slowly spiralling out of control
Good girl now with an evil heart, broken soul
Was it all really worth it?
Hate me for it, I deserve it

Got a tainted body as if I'm covered in tattoos
Cigarettes and whisky just won't help me get through
I was sick of the lonely nights, it's more fun with two
Call you up, come and make me feel brand new
Trust me, I hate me for it, I'm not a fan of being untrue
But darling, what you don't know won't hurt you

Kisses up your neck, you are my worst enemy
The definition of temptation, but look what you've made of me
Baby, we're lost, we've been driving too far
And I'm looking for home as I look up to the stars
Why, oh why? Role models don't do these things
They're faithful, with big diamond rings
I was just suffering from long, cold, lonely nights
So don't take away my dreams of seeing my name in lights

Got a tainted body as if I'm covered in tattoos
Cigarettes and whisky just won't help me get through
I was sick of the lonely nights, it's more fun with two
Call you up, come and make me feel brand new
Trust me, I hate me for it, I'm not a fan of being untrue
But darling, what you don't know won't hurt you

Darling, what you don't know won't hurt you
Won't hurt you, won't hurt you
Darling, what you don't know won't hurt you
Won't hurt you, won't hurt you

Gia: Yes, we can all definitely relate to having an affair with a married man while his pregnant wife knew nothing about it. Bravo, so deep!

Release date: 1st October, 2012
Genre: Indie pop, indie rock, alternative hip hop
Label: North Hill Records
Producer(s): Jared Nevo
Writer(s): Arianna Harley, Jared Nevo


"Summer Girl (Get Together)" is one of the more upbeat and cheerful tracks on Vegas Nights and shows a more fun, carefree side to Hey Lolita. With a relaxed sound consisting of uplifting, summery guitars, a steady drum beat and synths, "Summer Girl" is the most pop-sounding track on the album loaded with catchy lyrics that would most likely give the duo their big breakthrough hit if they were to release it. Tackling a more pop song, Arianna admits that the lyrics are "pretty much about nothing but a pretty girl", stating with a giggle that her and Jared were "embracing their inner popstar".

"I don't think 'Summer Girl' is a favourite of mine and Jared's, but it's definitely a fun one to listen to, it shows a completely different side to us," Arianna explains. "We like to think of our music as different, eclectic and fun, whether it be through the lyrics or the music, and I think we definitely achieved it with this track, especially the fun side to it."

Jared added, "It wasn't our intention to make radio hits, we could have made a whole album like this one if we wanted. We could have put it out, cashed in on the success and lived off of that album forever, but this album means a lot to us, we're not in it for the fame or money, we just genuinely love what we do. It's taken a long time for us to get this record out, so I'm just pleased people can hear it."

Sun's out, and she's the reason you're sweating
You just can't look away, and I'm betting
You want that summer girl, summer girl
There's no one here that looks better
Hotter than the weather, I know you wanna get together
With the summer girl, summer girl

Beach blonde hair, she looks close enough to perfection
And it seems like she's got your attention
Looks over and gives you a smile, drives you wild
You love her style, maybe crazy enough to want her child
Could just be a summer fling, maybe it's the real thing
Hotter than the weather, I know you wanna get together
With the summer girl, summer girl

Golden girl, golden tan, laying out on the golden sand
Why don't you walk up to her and make her understand?
That you wanna get together with the summer girl, summer girl
Oh, you want the summer girl, summer girl
You think she's out of your league, but you like to play it cool
You can tell she's the kinda girl who doesn't play by the rules
That's why you wanna get together with the summer girl, summer girl
Oh, you want the summer girl, summer girl

The way she looks and the way she walks
And she's a tease, the way she could get any guy down on his knees
There's something to her that's hypnotising
And I just can't stop fantasising
Hotter than the weather, I know I wanna get together
With the summer girl, summer girl

And she struts about in that bikini she's wearing
She knows she's got everyone staring
And that's just what makes me want her more and more
Shades on, and she's got a body any girl would die for
Hotter than the weather, I know I wanna get together
With the summer girl, summer girl

Golden girl, golden tan, laying out on the golden sand
Why don't you walk up to her and make her understand?
That you wanna get together with the summer girl, summer girl
Oh, you want the summer girl, summer girl
You think she's out of your league, but you like to play it cool
You can tell she's the kinda girl who doesn't play by the rules
That's why you wanna get together with the summer girl, summer girl
Oh, you want the summer girl, summer girl

(x2)
Oh, I'd give anything to look like the summer girl
She's the true definition of beauty
The way everyone looks, it's like she's the only woman in the world
Yeah, she's the true definition of beauty

Golden girl, golden tan, laying out on the golden sand
Why don't you walk up to her and make her understand?
That you wanna get together with the summer girl, summer girl
Oh, you want the summer girl, summer girl
You think she's out of your league, but you like to play it cool
You can tell she's the kinda girl who doesn't play by the rules
That's why you wanna get together with the summer girl, summer girl
Oh, you want the summer girl, summer girl



Finishing off the album on a slower note is "Forever Dreaming", one track that shows emotional and vulnerable vocals from both Arianna and Jared, showing off their both equally impressive and unique voices. Opening with a simple piano riff, the song soon takes a slight urban twist in the chorus, where pounding drums sampled from Kanye West's "Coldest Winter" are heard, giving the song a dramatic and powerful feel to it while the duo sing together, their contrasting voices working perfectly on the track.

"Me and Scar like to stray away from what you'd expect on a typical ballad, and adding that Kanye sample in really brought this song to life, I love those drums so much," Arianna said. "A number of our songs have a hip-hop influence to them that I like, it's really down to what me and Jared grew up with. Jared grew up listening to a lot of indie and rock records, and I was brought up more with soul, hip hop and pop, so I think we've done a great job of blending as many of those together as possible."

"It was Arianna's decision to add in the Kanye sample, she listens to a lot more rock these days, but she's got a lot of hip hop on her iPod. Everyone thinks I'm the gangster looking one with the scar and all, but after seeing her music collection, she's the real one," Jared reveals with a chuckle. "She made a damn good decision though, because we were looking for a way to make that chorus as hard-hitting as possible and those drums we sampled did the trick."

ARIANNA
JARED
BOTH

Young and in love, where did we go wrong?
Crashed and burned and I'm stuck singing this song
Two hearts beating for one another, now on their own
I was never the type to be scared of being alone
But you made it so hard for me to live without you
And I never imagined a time when it wouldn't be just us two

These days, you can't even bare hearing my name
While our old memories together stay safe in frames
When did beautiful turn ugly? Our love turned cold
And how did the youth of our love suddely turn old?

Say you don't love me, that you don't want me
And I'll walk away again and you'll never find me
Tell myself I don't love you, I know it's not true
But I just can't find a way to get over you
Dreaming in the morning, dreaming in the evening
How do I stop myself from feeling this feeling?
Guess I'll always be forever dreaming
Yeah, forever dreaming

A heart full of love, now empty and hollow
Lost without you, it's your shadow I follow
But the closer I seem to get, the further away you are
A hurt deep down, but you'll always be my favourite scar
Cause you loved and hurt me like no one before
Picked me up, then threw me back down on the floor

These days, you can't even bare hearing my name
While our old memories together stay safe in frames
When did beautiful turn ugly? Our love turned cold
And how did the youth of our love suddely turn old?

Say you don't love me, that you don't want me
And I'll walk away again and you'll never find me
Tell myself I don't love you, I know it's not true
But I just can't find a way to get over you
Dreaming in the morning, dreaming in the evening
How do I stop myself from feeling this feeling?
Guess I'll always be forever dreaming
Yeah, forever dreaming

And I still love you, but I'll always hate you
Cause you won't let me find a way to get over you
And I hate to say it, but I still want you
I swear, I tried my very hardest to forget you
But you're just like oxygen, I need you, breathe you
I just can't find a way to be happy without... you

Say you don't love me, that you don't want me
And I'll walk away again and you'll never find me
Tell myself I don't love you, I know it's not true
But I just can't find a way to get over you
Dreaming in the morning, dreaming in the evening
How do I stop myself from feeling this feeling?
Guess I'll always be forever dreaming
Yeah, forever dreaming

Ryan: Do you hear that? That's the sound of every other label owner dropping dead for them not delivering one of the best albums of the year. This is as unique and different of an album as you will get. I have a great deal of respect for you guys for not backing down and continuing to do what you love. I am proud that Hey Lolita is signed to North Hill Records. Keep it up Arianna and Jared.

Nate: I might be bias, but I believe Ari is one of the best voices you will find in music. Her tone is so different that people are going to be drawn to, they are bound to. As well as lyrically this album goes through a lot of different phases, which I love. It doesn't stay in one place for too long, I enjoy that, it doesn't get boring. My personal favorite is "Cadillac Jack", for reasons I will not reveal publicly.

Brittany: What a brilliant album. Despite everything Arianna has been pulled into, you two have delivered a very enjoyable album that is very truthful just by hearing the stellar lyrics. You guys definitely are an unapologetic, powerhouse singing duo and you've proved to me that you are the ones I want to hear for the next few years. Amazing job.

OOC: Excellent as always. Love this duo :)
