I think about you It’s like a reflex Never really knowing What will set me off I dream about you My bitter sweetness Every night there’s something new That I forgot I can’t seem to get you Outta my mind Outta my mind I can’t seem to get you Outta my mind It’s never easy Keeping a secret When my heart is moving In a figure 8 You drive me crazy I need a reset Why in the world can’t I just learn to put on the brakes I can’t seem to get you Outta my mind Outta my mind I can’t seem to get you Outta my mind (2x) It’s so deceptive when I’m in it I start believing that you’re mine The whole movie in a minute For the hundredth time

Burned 03:08
It was a golden season High up on a heavenly cloud We floated above it all He made it feel like magic We didn’t need the gravity But we got too close to the sun now I don’t feel much like love in the summer Ever since I got burned Even when there’s a blue sky shining I remember Being so much in love in the summer Drifting into a dream And crying my tears into the ocean Some days it reads like fiction A paperback in my bed But the truth is remembering We lived on rollercoasters, cotton candy and rock ‘n’ roll We were bound to crash in the end I don’t feel much like love in the summer Ever since I got burned Even when there’s a blue sky shining I remember Being so much in love in the summer Drifting into a dream And crying my tears into the ocean

Bad Rap 02:51
You did it once You did it twice No one was twisting your arm You missed the point You did it nice You never mean any harm We could talk about your good intentions Psychoanalyze the way you are It’s not gonna make a difference You’re a comet not a falling star You can’t keep carrying on like that It’s a bad scene, no one’s gonna have your back with a Bad Rap They like the way You like to talk They throw your words around It’s like a joke It gets ‘em off They’re gonna let you down Do you ever really pay attention When I tell you that its gone too far? You always have a reason You can’t keep carrying on like that It’s a bad scene, no one’s gonna have your back You can’t keep carrying on and on… I’m not saying that I’ll write you off, ‘cause I won’t It’s just harder hanging in there saying that I believe you, when I don’t You did it once You did it twice No one was twisting your arm

You get me and I get you That’s square one, whatever we do What we’ve got is good so far But the days ahead have a question mark When everything’s up in the air It might be better if we stay up there Until we find a place to land I’ll find you and you’ll find me On a lightning cloud or stuck in a tree Waving arms and sending up flares When trouble comes, it comes everywhere If everything feels undermined It’s always better to be warm and kind Until we find a place to land Time goes on, you can’t pin it down You can’t bend it back, there’s no workaround But you’ve got me and I’ve got you… When everything’s up in the air It might be better if we stay up there Until we find a place to land Until we find a place to land

about

Kelly Jones Los Angeles, California

Kelly Jones was raised on a horse farm in Ridgefield, WA. But her voice has carried her far and wide: Brooklyn, Manhattan’s East Village, Nashville and now Los Angeles. It’s a journey reflected in her vocal style: a mélange of west coast sunshine and east coast grit, held together with an effortlessly sweet confidence. Hers is a rare gift — a voice you can listen to all day and still want more. ... more
