V1 Caught up in the eye of the storm Am I the one you’re really running from I’m a mess, I can’t find my feet Unless you holding onto me Can’t trust if you’re just Making fun of me PRE The weather tells me that it’s time to change My stupid ways for good Chasing storms is what led me to you CHORUS I’ll stand against it all with you For our love, through it all I’ll blindly follow what you do It's enough Chasing storms with you V2 River inside, your mind shivers Maybe shoulda swam a little quicker I’m stressed, I can’t find my head I’m impressed I ain’t already dead Drowned out, now I’m comin’ up for air PRE The weather tells me that it’s time to change My stupid ways for good Chasing storms is what led me to you I’ll stand against it all with you CHORUS I’ll stand against it all with you For our love, through it all I’ll blindly follow what you do It's enough Chasing storms with you M8 Burnin’ on my tongue like I’m talkin’ to the sun Fire on our feet but we keep on walking on, walking on CHORUS I’ll stand against it all with you For our love, through it all I’ll blindly follow what you do It's enough Chasing storms with you

Fade Away 03:42
V1 I thought by now you would’ve moved on Find yourself what you want There’s still a shadow with your name on It’s haunting the things I love PRE Can’t you go get lost with another girl Tangle up your heart in another world Damage done / ain’t what I deserve And I have learned CHORUS I hurt less with my back turned on you Guess I’ve just another love you lose (won’t be the first to) Just when I think that I see you change It fades away too soon V2 I can’t believe I’ve fallen for this You’re back in and you know it My guard was up until you broke it With one wish, so selfish So much for you being forgotten Guess I’ll find another Way to forget this even happened Your name, your ways, the things you say CHORUS I hurt less with my back turned on you Guess I’ve just another love you lose (won’t be the first to) Just when I think that I see you change It fades away too soon M8 So much for you being forgotten I’ll find a way to make it happen Gotta make you fade away Fade away, fade away CHORUS I hurt less with my back turned on you Guess I’ve just another love you lose (won’t be the first to) Just when I think that I see you change It fades away too soon

Out of Luck 04:06
V1 Can I count on your eyes To save me from the darkest times Will you swear on your life That you’ll be there every night PRE I tried, I threw it all in I chose To make it like this It's my fault that we never win I’m on the brink of losing everything CHORUS I’m sorry I guess I’m just out of luck I’m only human isn’t that enough We can save this if ya Kiss me quick, But you walk away for the hell of it Fuck I guess I’m out of luck V2 Should I walk on the line Incase you go and change your mind Cuz the way I’m designed I need you here just to survive PRE I tried, I threw it all in I chose To make it like this It's my fault that we never win I’m on the brink of losing everything CHORUS I’m sorry I guess I’m just out of luck I’m only human isn’t that enough We can save this if ya Kiss me quick, But you walk away for the hell of it Fuck I guess I’m out of luck M8 My bad, it’s all on me Came out here thinking that I’d rule the world Put all your blame on me cuz I won’t have much to lose without your love CHORUS I’m sorry I guess I’m just out of luck I’m only human isn’t that enough We can save this if ya Kiss me quick, But you walk away for the hell of it Fuck I guess I’m out of luck
4.
Levels 02:55
V1 I guess we see things differently What lingers on the surface And what bubbles underneath Our reflections incomplete I don’t seem right to you You don’t seem right to me PRE Can you get on my level Level level yeah Can you get on my level Level level yeah V2 I think I lost a piece of me Mirror ain’t so perfect As it once used to be An atmosphere so bittersweet What if we make a pact agree to disagree PRE Can you get on my level Level level yeah Can you get on my level Level level yeah CHORUS We never see things eye to eye Can’t pretend we feel alright (cuz I don't) Somethin's ridin' on my back - it’s the devil Can ya get to where I’m at, on my level M8 I know I’ve fallen in too deep So I'll drift away from you Into a salty sea We look at things so differently Doesn’t mean we’re wrong or right Not necessarily PRE Can you get on my level Level level yeah Can you get on my level Level level yeah

V1 I left the group chat Convince myself that I never even noticed you Pretend you’re not there Unfollow you where I think might be tempted to PRE Proclaim my love At 3am I'm drunk enough And hitting send My stupid heart’s Embarassin’ I think I'm cavin' in CHORUS To c-c-c-call you again Say some things that I’ll regret C-c-c-call you again Some things you just can’t forget So just take my phone, lock it up I don’t trust me enough If I don’t look you up I’ll c-c-c-call you again Say some things that I’ll regret Over again V2 I’m feelin stupid I’m still new to this Hold that you’ve got over me Checkin my DMs It’s sayin’ you’ve read Everything unfortunately... PRE Proclaim my love At 3am I'm drunk enough And hitting send My stupid heart’s Embarassin’ I think I'm cavin' in CHORUS To c-c-c-call you again Say some things that I’ll regret C-c-c-call you again Some things you just can’t forget So just take my phone, lock it up I don’t trust me enough If I don’t look you up I’ll c-c-c-call you again Say some things that I’ll regret Over again M8 In such a hurry to confess and get it out You’re the first love that I found I used to worry when the weekend came around But now I know you’re happy now I won’t call you again CHORUS Say some things that I’ll regret I won't call you again Some things you just can’t forget So just take my phone, lock it up I don’t trust me enough If I don’t look you up I’ll c-c-c-call you again Say some things that I’ll regret Over again

V1 You could have a star on the boulevard For those lines you feed me sometimes You could win a fight with your guitar With the fire you got inside PRE Stuck in a jam we were on the 405 Took in the sight cuz you looked so good that night I can see that you try to be perfect all the time Perfect as you are Living out a life CHORUS With that big fake smile I can’t stand thinking you hurt inside at all Not your style To be so fucking quiet Just let it out, let it out to me Let it out let it out to me Let it out, tell me everything V2 You fooled me once and then I learned Now I can’t mistake what I see, I see No barricades, no bridges burned Nobody else, just you and me PRE Stuck in a jam we were on the 405 Took in the sight cuz you looked so good that night I can see that you try to be perfect all the time Perfect as you are Living out a life CHORUS With that big fake smile I can’t stand thinking you hurt inside at all Not your style To be so fucking quiet Just let it out, let it out to me Let it out let it out to me Let it out, tell me everything

CHORUS The balconies of Italy Echo through the night With songs to lift your spirits And dance by candlelight The balconies of Italy Are calling out to say Raise a glass, say a prayer For the souls that left today V1 The world was much more different yesterday Last week kinda feels like a century away No one really knows what waits for us tomorrow But we’ll be ok PRE I know we can change this If we really make a try Don’t be such a selfish fool Just stay the fuck inside CHORUS The balconies of Italy Echo through the night With songs to lift your spirits And dance by candlelight The balconies of Italy Are calling out to say Raise a glass, say a prayer For the souls that left today V2 Unprecedented times are what they say Try to keep your cool, read the rules, you’ll be ok These unchartered waters make me feel a little gray but I know PRE I know we can change this If we really make a try Don’t be such a selfish fool Just stay the fuck inside CHORUS The balconies of Italy Echo through the night With songs to lift your spirits And dance by candlelight The balconies of Italy Are calling out to say Raise a glass, say a prayer For the souls that left today M8 This is nature’s way of tryna say Get your shit together world, cuz this really ain’t ok For those who were alone until the end I hope you hear us now and feel the love we send CHORUS The balconies of Italy Echo through the night With songs to lift your spirits And dance by candlelight The balconies of Italy Are calling out to say Raise a glass, say a prayer For the souls that left today
8.
V1 I’ve got this sense inside me Drives me mad, drives me mad Harbouring secrets carefully in your head, in your head PRE Your skeletons don’t scare me Everyone’s hidin’ something What’s in the past is haunting Your skeletons are wanting CHORUS I want every piece of you Don’t hold back I’ll keep you close just cmon Just give it to me Darker days are left In your past Your skeletons are never gonna scare me V2 People are brimming at the seams Just a secret, try to keep it But they always break eventually Couldn’t keep it, couldn’t keep it PRE Your skeletons don’t scare me Everyone’s hidin’ something What’s in the past is haunting Your skeletons are wanting CHORUS I want every piece of you Don’t hold back I’ll keep you close just cmon Just give it to me Darker days are left In your past Your skeletons are never gonna scare me
9.
I heard it’s your birthday Let’s stay in Build a pillow fort To get drunk in We can make a toast to The fact that you just exist I know it’s your birthday Let’s stay home Couch potato party on our own We can binge your favourite tv show Have your birthday here at home Happy Birthday here at home
10.
V1 Is it really even worth it Do I feel like I deserve this No use tryna be so perfect For you Am I just a big distraction So you don’t see how you’re actin’ I don’t find it too attractive Do you? PRE If you work on your mistakes And you push on through the day CHORUS Karma’s gonna come your way Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo Ooh V2 You’re a whirlwind of disaster Piercing through the hearts you’re after Gotta slow down when I ask ya Ok Change your ways and I admit it I’m the kind who’d probably give in Past is as good as forgiven Today PRE If you work on your mistakes And you push on through the day If you change your stupid ways And you stop your silly games Karmas gonna come your way CHORUS Karma’s gonna come your way Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo Ooh

about

Jungle Tapes: Volume #1 is an album of raw, live takes of 10 songs written over 10 days during a country-wide lockdown in the wake of COVID-19.

Written and recorded live in her neon jungle home studio, these 10 songs were written originally as a part of a creative writing exercise called the 10 Songs challenge, in which Emma would write one new original song every day following daily writing prompts. The challenge was rebooted during the quarantine period to encourage her audience to stay creative and try the challenge out at home too.
