about
This is a song I've been working on for a very long time. The lyrics were primarily written by Sean Essex, who then handed them to me for a bit of reshaping and the rest of the song. This was the first time collaborating as a songwriter, and it was a decidedly different experience to writing the rest of all my other songs. It's very rough, but it's just a demo. I don't have any plans at the moment to make it anything more than that. That said, I hope you enjoy it!
lyrics
I can win this race
Just as kids we hear that slow and steady is the pace
I took your hand
And we began to plan our stand
And I still say
To this day
That I know love is on its way
As I looked into your pretty eyes
For the very first time
My feelings grow
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Need her forever, yeah
And if I walked away
Would you promise me that you would want to stay
Do you agree that love should be for all eternity
And everything I do
Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet, somewhere I'll show
That my feelings grow
Yeah, my feelings grow
My feelings grow
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Need her forever, yeah
Just as kids we hear that slow and steady is the pace
I took your hand
And we began to plan our stand
And I still say
To this day
That I know love is on its way
As I looked into your pretty eyes
For the very first time
My feelings grow
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Need her forever, yeah
And if I walked away
Would you promise me that you would want to stay
Do you agree that love should be for all eternity
And everything I do
Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet, somewhere I'll show
That my feelings grow
Yeah, my feelings grow
My feelings grow
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Deeper, deeper
Because I need to keep her, keep her
Through the pain because I love her, love her
Can you see that I need her, need her
Need her forever, yeah

I love Oak Tree Suite's music! The guys and I are great friends and I even went to school with Shane, my session bassist on Dazzling By Design & The Sunset Conspiracy. I highly recommend their stuff!
