I know I struggle to find
The way to speak my mind
In twenty five words or less
I never have that success
'Cause sometimes I want to say
All the things that I'm thinking about you baby
It's never seemed to work before
I guess I'll try it just once more
So here I go
You're cute, you're sweet, you're soft, you're smart
You fill the gaps inside my heart
You're nice to hold and hard to leave
You're everything that's good to me
I love your hair, your pretty eyes
The way you leave me mesmerised
I guess there's just one thing that's true
Above the rest - that I love you
I'm sorry if I make no sense
The art of succinct compliments
Has never been a skill of mine
But I'll just do it one more time
So here I go
You're cute, you're sweet, you're soft, you're smart
You fill the gaps inside my heart
You're nice to hold and hard to leave
You're everything that's good to me
I love your hair, your pretty eyes
The way you leave me mesmerised
I guess there's just one thing that's true
Above the rest - that I love you
'Cause all I really have to do
Is tell you how much I love you

Don’t want to look out the window today
‘Cause I know what I’m going to see
The rain is falling, the wind is calling
And I feel it blowing inside me
I shut the window, I close the door
But here it’s still so very cold
I’ve tried so hard to forget, not to hold on to regret
But why’s regret so nice to hold
Things started changing, outside it started raining
And I’m sorry I did wrong
(Rain falls, the past calls, the things I did wrong)
I know that I hurt you, didn’t mean to make it worse for you
But lift your eyes and move on
(Gotta let go ‘cause I know it’s time to move on)
So when it rains, look through the clouds and see
The sun still shining, despite the weather
The same sun that shone on you and me
On all those days we spent together
So don’t think we’re a bad memory
Though today it’s colder than ever
And just remember who we used to be
The sun will shine on us forever
I pick up the photo album, turn the pages
And I try to find where it went wrong
Summer sky and memories, just loving your company
Serenades with all our favourite songs
But then things start changing, life started rearranging
Where did the happy ending go?
Fights only left us bruised, had we just been confused?
For the first time, I didn’t know
When it rains look through
Was it me or you?
Though you’re far you’ll see
You’re still close to me

In Stereo

Unspeakable
Like a truth unsaid
The thought of you
Fills my tired head
Your hand in mine
Taking left in right
As we combine
Joining black and white
Turn out the light and we'll dance through the night
Spinning slow
As our hearts beat in stereo
Twirling around in the wake of this beautiful sound
Sway with the breeze in three hundred and sixty degrees
Yeah, our hearts beat for days like these
Soak up the moment and promise you won't let it go
Your breathing slows
As we gently sway
The music stops
But we keep going anyway
The skyline fades
Trading red for blue
But I don't care
'Cause I'm here with you

Silverlined

Up high on a mountainside
She softly dreams
Breathing the sky
Wondering why
She feels alive
And every day she thinks of me
And how things are
Different now
Knowing somehow
That something's changed inside
So breaking free she says goodbye
Beneath a cold day in July
And leaves the life she knew behind
To be a witness to the world
To be a different kind of girl
And prove her clouds are only grey
Because they're silverlined
She blows a kiss into the breeze
And somehow all these
Miles away
Miles away
I can feel her right beside me
And when I hold her hand once more
I'll remind her to stay
Ever the same
Never afraid
To make Him proud
I know someday we'll meet again
When the skyline glows the way it used to glow
But until then let's change this world
And don't ever let Him go

For You
02:46
|

When sometimes I trip and fall
When I just can't stand at all
When it's all too much to take
You are the peace in me
Days when darkness chills my soul
Moments when I lose control
Though I feel I'm beaten down
You are my victory
I'll take a step or maybe two
But when I walk, I walk in You
And though I falter and I fall
I know I'll rise again
And when my bones would almost break
When my muscles fade and ache
I know You did the same for me
I'll labour through this pain for You
When the guilt's too much to bear
When it feels like no-one's there
Then I lift my head and smile because
You are my saving grace
When I stand alone in fear
When I wonder why I'm here
I know You're my perfect reason
I'll finish off this race for You

If I was a whisper that brushed your hair
Would you trace me into the sky?
And if I was the raincloud that filled the air
Would anyone still see you cry?
If I was the moment that made you smile
When all your colours fade to grey
Would you still hold on so tightly then
Even when I'm far away?
I'm so far away
If we could go dancing between the stars
Would gravity pull you down?
And if you were a lighthouse on the shore
Would you keep on spinning round?
If we could go back and change it all
Would you leave your life the same?
And could you just swear you'll remember me
When everything fades away
If I was the fire that lit the way
Would your hope return again?
If I was the love that could keep you warm
Would you battle through the pain?
Could we be forever side by side
When the new world is there to stay?
Just tell me you'll always know inside
That I'm not far away
I'm not far away

Your Sunrise
03:53
|
|||
The sun sets so you pull the curtains closed
But did you see the way your room still glows?
My eyes hurt when I stare at you. It shows
Who's really beaming
It's getting late but it's still this bright inside
Your radiance, it stands to be admired
I'll close my eyes but I promise I'm not tired
I'm just daydreaming
Look in my eyes
You light the skies
Outshine the stars
To their surprise
Make day from night
I'll hold you tight
Your sunrise shining bright
You'll never know how much it means to me
To watch somebody learning to believe
And you can’t see, but behind this UV screen
My heart is warming
I used to hide in darkness all the time
Thought that the best times always passed you by
Until a sunbeam taught me how to shine
By shining for me
Your light, it shines so brightly
I've found someone that's right for me
You're shining right beside me
Keep shining on

2008 (Nadia's Goodbye)
03:41

I found some perspective gathering dust
In the back of my drawer
I didn't know it was there but I'm glad 'cause I've never needed it more
And I found the letters that we used to write
Just a few years ago
I didn't know things had changed that much but I guess that now it shows
And it's what I make of this
That defines just who I am
And I know your mind won't change
'Cause you just don't understand
And I know the times were good
But that's what memories are for
I can live without you here
I don't need you anymore
Yeah, life was a canvas and we had a brush
And we'd paint our every day
But now you're gone and I'm left with a smear and a thousand shades of grey
So I'll pack my bags up 'cause I'm moving out
By tonight I'll be gone
I'll leave this life and I'll say goodbye
'Cause I am moving on
This is how I leave you behind
And this is how I wipe you from my mind
