When you talk to your best friend Do you call me your girlfriend? Can we hang all fucking weekend? Cuz I’ve been busy but I’ll take time for you When a storm hits, I wonder Would you come to my bunker Or keep chasing more thunder? Cuz I’ve been burned enough it’s nothing new I’m not trying to be possessive I just need a clearer message Spell it out, what it means to you Can we drive miles away from anything we know? Fly away in your convertible? Guess I could go by myself cuz I won’t bring nobody else When we wake up on Monday Will it rub you the wrong way Are you tasting my heartache I don’t mean to throw it onto you Don’t you come pick up the pieces I can lick my wounds, I mean it Lemongrass burning fast Heart attack Can we drive miles away from anything we know? Fly away in your convertible? Guess I could go by myself cuz I won’t bring nobody else I’ll give you space I’ll dream of you I’ll give you time to miss me too I’ll paint a picture of the moon All fucking weekend All fucking weekend Can we hang all fucking weekend Watch a movie with your best friend? I don’t wanna fucking pretend That you’re not everything I’m needing Can you shower me in flowers? More than just 48 hours I don’t wanna make you sour So tell me you’re no fucking coward

You could’ve said it on the phone That you were better off alone You could’ve given me a reason why You should’ve said it to my face You’re only in it for the chase You could’ve given me a last goodbye You’re not real your just a ghost I’ll remember you the most You could’ve said it in the bed Instead of creeping in my head All you gave me was a perfect lie You could’ve said it to my face All you wanted was a taste You could’ve given me a last goodbye You’re not real you’re just a ghost I’ll remember you the most No closure to set me free So tired of the same routine If my heart could turn to stone then I might make it on my own But it’s stuck on my sleeve You’re not real you’re just a ghost I’ll remember you the most I wish I knew Where you disappear You’re so unclear It hurts me I wish I knew Who you run to Where your dreams come true I wish I knew

Sometimes I wonder if it’s alright To hold your hand in plain sight Kiss you in the daylight Sometimes I don’t ask no questions Cuz I don’t want the answers Scared of what I might find Every day is a Wednesday night Just staring at the ticking time There’s a bomb burning in my mind Bout to blow up my whole damn life So I’ll write it on the bathroom door Put my name right next to yours Write a letter in my head But I’m hiding it under my bed Say you belong to me Don’t ever set me free My heart is on my sleeve Just hanging by a thread Don’t cut it off just yet Sometimes Don’t know if I should call you Sticky like some Pritt glue Lonely after curfew Some nights I cry under the moonlight I know it’s not a good time To talk about my issues Cuz every day is a Wednesday night Just staring at the ticking time There’s a bomb burning in my mind Bout to blow up my whole damn life So I’ll hang it on my bedroom door Push pins in the hardwood floor So be careful where you step While I try to make space in my head Say you belong to me Don’t ever set me free My heart is on my sleeve Just hanging by a thread Don’t cut it off just yet We take turns in the running water Sing songs to me in the shower I can’t play it cool forever Let’s just be alone together And say you belong to me Don’t ever set me free My heart is on my sleeve Just hanging by a thread Don’t cut it off just yet Don’t you cut it off just yet

I Won't Bite 04:17
I’ve got something to show you But I don’t want to annoy you Let me make all your dreams come true Baby boo I never knew how to say this When I love, it usually feels like shit So tell me it’s not just a state of bliss Don’t resist Baby, it’s getting cold outside But there’s a fire in my heart So let me warm you up at night I won’t bite (or I just might if you like) It feels like you’re feeling the way that I’m feeling Don’t let me believe it if you plan on leaving These fingertips are so used to slipping Too tight a grip, I’m so used to bleeding Come boy, you be my Band-Aid Kiss me, help it coagulate I’ve got bruises in every place This might be sounding dramatic It’s just, I’m feeling fantastic So please tell me that this rose isn’t made out of plastic Cuz baby, when it feels so right There’s a darkness in my mind Easy not to think so bright Shut the light, press rewind It feels like you’re feeling the way that I’m feeling Don’t let me believe it if you plan on leaving These fingertips are so used to slipping Too tight a grip, I’m so used to bleeding Oh, I know you’ve been loved before Before knocking onto my door Tell me what are you looking for? It feels like you’re feeling the way that I’m feeling Don’t let me believe it if you plan on leaving These fingertips are so used to slipping Too tight a grip, I’m so used to bleeding Oh, I’m so used to bleeding baby

You wasted so much time When you were good and ripe You let the good ones fly You stayed up late at night The sun was way too bright The honey tasted sweet But you’re still afraid of bees So sing it before you leave Every love song Reminds me of someone Reminds me of a chance I didn’t take A promise never made Every story Of love in all its glory Cuts like a hole inside my heart Cuz everything I touch falls apart All of your broken dreams They slip out at the seams Oh, you wanna keep control But you’re on an icy slope, yeah You don’t know what you need The roses smell so sweet Until they turn to weeds So sing it loud and free Every love song Reminds me of someone Reminds me of a chance I didn’t take A promise never made Every story Of love in all its glory Cuts like a hole inside my heart Cuz everything I touch falls apart Baby right when it starts I might hide in the dark I might tear us apart My heart isn’t ready for this Let me stay in my bliss Fix it all with a kiss Cuz every love song Reminds me of someone Reminds me of a chance I didn’t take A promise never made Every story Of love in all its glory Cuts like a hole inside my heart Cuz everything I touch falls apart Falls apart Falls apart Falls apart Falls apart Falls apart With every piece of my heart

Said it once, said it twice But never in the light Never not analyze Every single detail I need some intel I don’t deal well with surprises Never knew how not to over analyze it And now Don’t know where you’re gone Cause I took too long 2AM and I did it again Broke my hand trying to say it with a pen Putting up a fight no one heard at night Sleeping in Filling up every page Empty and afraid So I self-medicate Reading into details seeing farewells in the futures I imagine Thought I told you I don’t deal well with the questions And oh Just know when I’m gone I’m writing a song 2AM and I did it again Broke my hand trying to say it with a pen Putting up a fight no one heard at night Sleeping in One day the ink ran out I was all burnt out and I froze What if it all comes out like a hurricane in the snow 2AM and I did it again Broke my hand trying to say it with a pen Putting up a fight no one heard at night Sleeping in

I don’t need my space I only need your lipstick on my face Can you wake me up tomorrow? Indulge me in my sorrows Cuz I don’t think that I will ever change Paint me pretty pictures Those sweet candy whispers Got me on a sugar high Touch me right where it hurts I love jumping head first Blood pressure to the sky I wish I could tell you I was alright But I don’t need my space I only need your lipstick on my face Can you wake me up tomorrow? Indulge me in my sorrows Cuz I don’t think that I will ever change Only the time we spend apart gives it the taste Only the worry and confusion make the haste But I don’t need my space I only need your lipstick on my face Can you wake me up tomorrow? Indulge me in my sorrows Cuz I don’t think that I will ever change I don’t need my space I only need your lipstick on my face Can you wake me up tomorrow? Indulge me in my sorrows Cuz I don’t think that I will ever change

Choke 04:08
When you touch my soul Honey make sure your hands aren’t cold When you go can you leave a note Give me something for on the road? When the sun is bright And the moon and the stars align Don’t you go be a Gemini Don’t you choke and change your mind I let you in easy baby though I don’t know who you are But so far I love your kisses in the dark You take me back to my younger days Don’t you go, don’t you go throw it all away In the wake of the day You take me back to my younger days Don’t you leave me in the shade When the end is close Honey please, won’t you let me know? Don’t be shy with the sugar coat Take the edge off the bitter blow When you taste my fears When it’s oh so clear The mirror in the hallway Reflecting in the wrong way You take me back to my younger days Don’t you go, don’t you go throw it all away In the wake of the day You take me back to my younger days Don’t you leave me in the shade Don’t you go, don’t you go, don’t you go throw it all away Reflecting, reflecting the real me Don’t you go throw it all away Reflecting, reflecting the real me Don’t you go throw it all away Reflecting, reflecting the real me Don’t you go throw it all away Reflecting, reflecting the real me

You only want me when I leave I gotta stay so out of reach Stuck in a game of hide and seek Count the days just for a week Is this the way it’s gonna be? No satisfaction guaranteed? Cuz when we’re thirsty, well the water is sweet Get too much sun and you cut off a leaf I wish I could love you the way you need I wanna fly you to the moon But I keep singing out of tune We must be playing in the wrong key Because it’s taking all my energy I won’t be saying pretty please Will not be begging on my knees But I can go and throw away the key Next time you fucking turn around With every word I feel you pull away Strings that break, plans we made Open book turns to flames But it’s okay I only want you cuz you’re mean But now I’m old enough to see That no one changes with no space to breathe So take your space and lose my number please

Just like a glove Strawberry love Sent from above Sweet candy dove I know that you’re not some kind of god You’re just the shape of the hole in my heart Edges are rough but finally enough Tired of being just a shell Every heaven just turns into hell But the eggs on the floor start to melt When you hold me baby Let go, look in my eyes as you swallow me whole You know just how I taste and you’re still not running away Sour snowflake I won’t hide behind vanilla cake Just like a cat Stuck in the bath Drowning with no Time to relax Learning to swim in someone’s storm Could never find my final form But now I know love Just feels safe and warm Tired of running away Every minute of every day Just in case someone sees my mistakes But you show me how to Let go, look in your eyes as I swallow you whole I know just how you taste and I’m still not running away Sour snowflake I won’t hide behind vanilla cake
11.
You don’t need to waste another dream on purple clouds You just hit the ground, I know you finally know how To stay awake Don’t be lazy It’s funny to feel Just like a baby But honey, when you cry I will hold you close at night So promise you’ll stop running from the light Ready to jump Ready to dive Bring on the waves Bring on the fight Taking control of this four-wheel drive You were sleepless and paralyzed But now you feel so fucking alive Funny how it tingles when the novocaine subsides You can feel a twinkle in your heart you can’t describe Don’t push it away Don’t be hazy Even though you feel Just like a baby Cuz honey, when you die They will say you lived your life The day that you stopped hiding Ready to jump Ready to dive Bring on the waves Bring on the fight Taking control of this four-wheel drive You were sleepless and paralyzed But now you feel so fucking alive Just don’t let go When at first it gets worse tearing bullets from your soul Stretching the flesh on the bones every time you grow But don’t choke cuz you’re not alone Ready to jump Ready to dive Bring on the waves Bring on the fight Taking control of this four-wheel drive You were sleepless and paralyzed But now you finally feel like you never want to die

about

Inspired by the colourful and playful sound of the early 2000’s, Anxious Avoidant is Sophia Bel’s first album and a departure from what defined her in her past releases. Exploring relationships and feelings while rocking to the music that influenced her teenage years, she goes beyond what is expected; Anxious Avoidant is a vulnerable tale that gathers its force from Sophia Bel’s explosive energy. Produced by Sophia Bel and Tim Buron, the album finds its way to people’s hearts by reminding us of pop-punk classics, while tugging at everyone’s heartstrings by bringing them back to their own relationships. Her album is filled with sweet ballads, pop-punk hymns that will empower her fans, melodic guitar riffs and a fresh creative take on Y2K music. What shines through Anxious Avoidant is Sophia Bel's dedication to create something that is uniquely hers.

By breaking free of her fears and knocking down the walls that she had built, Sophia Bel is giving us a glimpse into her inner dialogues, ruminations and emotions. Anxious Avoidant is a personal diary, an open book that everyone can relate to.
