Gold 04:50
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

L.A. 03:42
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 04:56
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

Murals 04:03
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 05:45
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 03:06
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

But you won't see my love like once before And I can't blame you for wanting something more (Chorus)
