Category: Till We Get There

And now the rain has gone
The sun shines through my window
Next winters not so long 
Let’s sail the oceans till September 
Going nowhere till we get there

We’ll grow our hair out long
Like the way our old folks used to
We’ll sing our favourite songs
And watch the birds fly in the morning
Tell the world of all our stories

And I’m lost, I’m lost , in a world made around you 

If there’s something that I know 
Is the wind will take us somewhere
We’ll arrive there on the shore
Let our feet sink in the water
Look across the oceans borders

We’ll sell our clothes for food
And swim out on the ocean
We don’t have much to lose
So let’s not lose it for no reason 
Open the door and let the breeze in

And I’m lost, I’m lost in a world made around you

Said that I’m leaving you
Said that I needed to
Just something that I have to do
For a reason

Said that I won’t be long
Said that I’d write you a song
Every Friday
For the season

What did you come my why for?
You knew I’d leave you
How long can you spend on your own?
Until I come back
Sorry isn’t good enough these days
But it’s the best I can do
Just look for the brightest star at night
and hope I’ll find you

I said that I’m telling the truth
I still want to be with you
We won’t call it love for no reason

Said that I’ve got work to do
but I said I’m not over you
but maybe distance is what we need
after all

What did you come my why for?
You knew I’d leave you
How long can you spend on your own?
Until I come back
Sorry isn’t good enough these days
But it’s the best I can do
Just look for the brightest star at night
and hope I’ll find you 

Tell me why I’m so scared of you
You met my eye and I turned to stone
I was so alone

I paid the price
for leaving you behind
for not saying goodbye
I paid the price

When I wanted to be with you
and you showed me no sign

Remember all the times we made
Up all those lies to keep everyone away

I get it you despise me now
Go ahead and surprise me and walk away

If you dig all the holes you’ll find nothing of mine
If you climb all the trees you won’t break through my skies
If you swim all the seas you won’t break through my tides
but why am I so scared of you? 

it’s 9 o’clock and you’re half past late
making me uneasy I can’t concentrate
I’m sitting here and the fire is burning out
You really are the person I can’t live without

You’re my girl, my girl only
If you left me I’d be very lonely
I’m angry sometimes
and I’d hurt you too
but I love you so much there’s nothing I can do

You’re late again and I’m getting suspicious
If you’re with another man I’m going to be vicious
I’m a mean man, I can’t control my temper
If you let me off, no one is going to help you

I hear a knock knock, and I better hear the truth
You’ve really got some explaining to do
Then you say “Hey honey, I was with another man”
I go over and I hit her as hard as I can
and think “How could she?, What did I ever do?”
She says “I’ve been seeing him since I first met you”
I said “How could you? I thought you were the one!”
She says “You hit me so much, I’m gonna shoot you with this gun”
I said “don’t shoot, shoot me darling”

You hurt me once and I won’t hurt you back
I’m just trying to be good, Trying to hold back
I though we could fix it, and fill in the cracks
Just hold it together and keep it on track

But I can’t, I can’t even say your name

You told me the rules so I won’t act a fool
You tell me don’t cry I don’t know what to do
I can’t even smile about what we’ve been through

no I can’t, I can’t even say your name

You gave me a reason to smile every day
You gave me a kiss to make it all okay
Without you babe I just ain’t the same
No I ain’t

I can’t even say your name
