“Nina” was the first and lead single of Jinx
Released in April 9th of 2018

[Verse 1]
Somethings up with Lee

She hides it underneath
Buying things that she don't need

And no secret to be found
Calm her nerves and fill her glass
Helps forget the things that pass
[Verse 4]

Sweep away some bits of skin
Let another day begin
[Outro]
Nothing makes much sense you’ll see
Ripe fruit lands close to the tree
All this time won't set you free
Take away the water
All that's left is honey
[Instrumental]
Nina was written by Brian Aronow & Jesse Brotter & Jonathan Gilad & Lila Ramani.
