Seems I've found what's taken years
Livin' has crept out from beliefs
Could it be all that we
Had hoped through joys and tears
What's been bland, oh what's been drear
Has become a highlight if you're here
Time has told truths of old
The who is what brings cheer
(Chorus)
Sun is shining gold, share the spoils with you
Shadows casting low, pull the shade with you
River's on a flow, floatin' on with you
Whatever comes and goes, through it all with you
So if the fire is up ahead
Splash a little water to refresh
Once again, take this hand
Together through the bend

Times we stayed up all night
Talked about our dreams
And who we want to be
And we'd go exploring new sights
But the sights were just the background of our lives
But you don't want this heartbreak anymore
No you just want to lock this door
(Chorus)
So I will let you be
Even if it's the hardest thing for me
I will let you be
And I will let you go
Though I hope that you will always know
You are welcome home (I will love you so)
And I told you that I'm sorry
But that won't change
Anything that I've done
So now I can only ask that you
Remember me with love
But you don't see my love like once before
And I can't blame you for wanting something more
(Chorus)

You

How’d you put this weight on me
Couple of smiles, a laugh I’ll miss
Now I’m dreaming of a kiss
Oh, what you do from here on out
Will pull me in and drag me down
To an unrealised dream of bliss
Your voice it starts to sing to me
Every time it touches my ears
The only words that I want to hear
And what you say will spin in my head
And I’ll select so carefully
The ones I’ll ply as I lay in my bed
Now already in my mind
I’ve taken you out and watch you fall
In love with me
Across the table as I tell you things
I’ve practiced in my head
That let me reach out for your hands
Our eyes can lock and with the
Warmth that you feel in my hands
My words have a clear path to your heart
And you will know the words I say
Aren’t just some uttering on a bland day
But a moment that will never fade
I can see us walking now
Hand in hand in front of a crowd
Everything quiet but your beckoning mouth
I spin you round in awe of shape
Your heart gets locked in my embrace
As I pull you back in throw a kiss on your face
Impatience gripping over me
Oh, how I hope to fulfil my dreams
Won’t you take this dance with me
Maybe have I skipped a step
In letting you get to know me yet
Still I know I could be your best
Come closer now my dear
Let me whisper in your ear
All you ever dreamed to hear
Pull me in, draw me close
Tell me I’m the one you chose
I’m the one you want the most
Would you now, just tell me I
Am always wanted by your side
There’s no reason left to hide
So you see, here and now
You are all this heart’s about
Take a step let’s live it out

You shine so brightly when you flicker your lights across the shore
The colours paint all the murals on the waves ever changing from the scene before
I just needed time, to get my heart in line
To love all you could be for me and let you in my life
(Chorus)
How'd you capture me, oh we were never meant to be
Coz I was only chasing you to fulfil another dream
You throw your flavours at me you know you get me with your cheap tender roast
You throw your different personas that you brought from all corners of this shrinking globe
Your charm has grown on me, I get what others see
When they talk about their love for you and I could never agree
(Chorus)
How'd you capture me, oh we were never meant to be
Coz I was only chasing you to fulfil another dream
Well now I'm here it seems, so make the most of me
Coz I am done pretending it was ever by chance I landed here

The Last

Would you hear what I have to say to you
The thoughts I never felt allowed to say were true
I was only trying to be all I
Could be but you wanted more
Than I could ever have to give
(Chorus)
If you want me to stay, then sit with me, and tell me how we’ll find a way
The thread that’s holding me is growing tired of needing to justify my case
I’d tell you now a million times when I was wrong
But could you mention one thing that wasn’t all my fault
Could you say one thing you maybe think
You could say sorry and admit
Maybe we’ve both had wrongs in this
(Chorus)
If you want me to stay, then sit with me, and tell me how we’ll find a way
The thread that’s holding me is growing tired of needing to justify my case
This could be the last I see your tears stream as you tell me what went wrong
And I’ll just bite my tongue as I hold guilt that’s been here already too long
Tell me if I changed would you then love who I unwillingly became
It seems you believe that I can be dragged through this and love you all the same

By The Pier
05:34
|

Sitting by the pier, waiting for a friend, you called out because I was sitting there alone and thought that I might want someone to share a drink with and maybe I needed some cheer
And I shared about my life and regrets as you shared your doubts of the one that you’re with, told me you loved him but couldn’t be sure he was who you wanted with this
It’s so easy hitting the connection knowing nothing could happen here
(Chorus)
And it never would’ve worked, but it’s nice to dream, and concoct a story of what could have been but if you’re looking for perfection, it’s not something you’ll find in me
And I’ll never know in life what you’ll do, and I’m not yet famous so this song will never get to you, but I hope you find the answers to what it is you’re going through
But I enjoyed my time with you, and talking our lives through
So sweet girl I met, I wish you I wish you the best
(hope that you’ll have no regrets)
Given you’d moved afar for your man, which is something that I could understand, it was easy to care and easy to share and easy to feel for you there
You told me your problems you told me your fears, don’t want to lose your twenties fighting for a man who you can’t see changing to the point that people can change wasn’t something you believed
How did we, get so deep, still nothing can happen here
(Chorus)
And I probably stayed a little longer than I should have, but time was just too eager so when time said to leave and you asked for my number, it made sense to you and it surely made sense to me
But I’ve never been inclined to infidelity and I wasn’t going to start exploring possibilities but that doesn’t mean that after you left I didn’t wish that there was some other answer I could give
Would it be wrong, given all that you told me, still in my mind I know what’s right
(Chorus)

Still

Hey there, you haven’t talked to me for a while, how you been, anything I have missed
Of course, I know what you’re doing, but I’d rather hear it from your lips
Don’t feel bad I have done this before you’re not the first to stay outside an open door
I’m just glad that you’ve looked past shallow obligations and cried out for something more
(Chorus)
Is it love that you don’t feel coz I’ll tell you right now you’re everything to me
And I’ll never hold you down, I’m always on your
Team you’ll see if you’d listened to me then you’d be where you’d want to
Be but I know that you’ll always hurt me but I will hold you still
So let’s get real, I don’t need to tell you, I’m not one for niceties
That kind of love is only, the kind that never shows me
Your deepest fears your flowing tears the times you’ve been the cause for hurt
The parts that let me show you that I’ll still love you at your worst
(Chorus)
Is it love you want to feel coz I’ll tell you again you’re everything to me
And I’ll never hold you down, I’ll always be on your
Team you’ll see if you listen to me then I’ll take you where you’ll want to
Be and I know that you’ll always hurt me but I will hold you still
What’s that you’re holding on to
Give it up you’ll see I’ve got you
Come tell your fears to me you’ll
See I’ll never let you down
Please hear me when I tell you
My heart is bleeding and true
My love is always going to
Want only the best for you

Times we stayed up all night
Talk about our dreams and who we want to be
And we'd go exploring new sights
But the sights were just the background of our lives
But you don't want this heartbreak anymore
No you just want to lock this door
(Chorus)
So I will let you be, even if it's the hardest thing for me, I will let you be
And I will let you go, though I hope that you will always know, you are welcome home (I will love you so)
And I told you that I'm sorry but that won't change anything that I've done
So now I can only ask that you remember me with love.
But you won't see my love like once before
And I can't blame you for wanting something more
(Chorus)
