Tunes & Tales: Breathe In. Breathe Out.

I've been a Hilary Duff fan for ages since I first saw her on Lizzie McGuire. (I was obsessed with the feature film, by the way. So dang adorable!) She has released quite a few albums: Metamorphosis (which I was obsessed with), Hilary Duff (which I was subsequently obsessed with) and Dignity (which I was surprisingly not so obsessed with). It's only this year that she's finally put out a new album - Breathe In. Breathe Out. And guys, I adore it! I think it's filled with catchy melodies, excellent lyrics and just fun, summery music.

VIBE: fun pop songs, catchy lyrics

WHY: It's Hilary Duff. 'Nuff said.

TRY: Confetti is my absolute favorite, though Sparks always gets stuck in my head.

Sparks / Delicious

You can promise castle, treasures, babies

I don't care

Cause right now you're just enough for me

I want you near

Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck

You remember what I love so baby take me back

Turn down the lights down low and kiss me under the dark

Cause when you're touching me baby I see sparks

My Kind / Focus on Me

I'm going

Till I'm overloading

Even though it's breaking me, breaking me

I'm with you for the night

You're taking me, taking me high

You're loving me, loving me right

Think you're one of my kind

One in a Million / You Had Me at Hello

You say, "Don't worry about us babe

I just need a little time" (so what?)

I'm supposed to be okay

When we're nowhere close to fine? (nuh-uh)

I know you've done nothing wrong

But it only makes it worse (you-ooh)

Confetti / Magnolia

This conversation hasn't happened

But you need to hear me now

Call it a warning sign or a caption

But there's walls that won't back down

I'm wide awake

And I swore I wouldn't dream

When I hear you say

That you won't let go of me

I'm slipping under

Soon as I'd thought never again

Breathe In. Breathe Out. / Happy Again

I remember when we had too much to dream

I was hanging on your words like I'm sixteen

I remember being high on your caffeine

I remember when we fell too deep to feel

I remember when the real became too real

I remember when it hurt too much to heal

Lies / The Status of All Things

Tell me why you think you can play me

Twist your lies and stare blankly

Don't you know I knew?

And, baby, all my time that you've wasted

I'll find a way to reclaim it

I think I see the sun

Arms Around a Memory / Champion

You can't put your arms around a memory

And now I'm wishing you were here

As much as I wish you would disappear

So will you remember to forget me?

You can't put your arms around a memory

Stay in Love / Racing the Sun

Our edges used to

Fit together perfectly

Why does something good

Always start to bleed?

Hurting, hearts go wild

Bruised girl, broken down

Praised you, many times

One big lie

Brave Heart / Where Sea Meets Sky

I don't know, know, where we're going

I can't breathe, breathe, all fading starts

I don't know, know, where I'm heading

Just know, know, you're stealing my heart

I wouldn't change a single page of my history

I'm gonna keep all the letters you wrote to me

Each and every day it's the same old game

And I play alone

Round and round we go but we never know

When we should get off

Gotta let go even though I'm scared to death

I'm here alone, but I still got one thing left

I've got a brave heart

Tattoo / The Assassin's Blade

On my skin

Running in my bloodstream

These scars are the way that you loved me

I guess that you had to leave a tattoo

To remind me

Picture This / Love, in English

Blurry eyed and tongue tied

Tripping over landmines

Gettin' lost in your mind

Tripping over landlines

Hands creep down my waist

Little slower, now

Hands creep down my waist

Let me show you how

It's not how I pictured this

It's better than it

But we regret the things we said

Picture it getting better than this

Let it live inside our head

Let our hearts cross the line, it's time

Night Like This / Jesse's Girl

Wouldn't mind if we caught every red light

You're someone I can get close to

You're a stranger but there's something in your eyes

Like you know me
