Long Time Coming
02:59
|
|||
Struggling sleeping with Lego houses below
My mind is racing, it’s all part of the show
I got the Tailwind blowing, and a reason to rest my bones
Where I’m going, ain’t no time for taking it slow
When we go, I want you to know
It’s been long time coming
It’s been a long long long time
It’s been a long time coming
For you and I
I get to arrivals, my heart beats right out my chest
You give me a smile and It feels like the first day we met
I can not recall a time, I was this far from home
Time to rest these weary bones for a while
It’s been long time coming
It’s been a long long long time
It’s been a long time coming
For you and I
When we go, I want you to know
When we go, I want you to know
It’s been long time coming
It’s been a long long long time
It’s been a long time coming
For you and I

Hey There, Johnny

Hey there Johnny, how’ve you been?
It’s been too long and I miss my friend
I’m staying out late at the Honky Tonk
Listening over to the same damn songs
The devil went down to country road
My friend Annie has to lighten her load
And all my nights have turned into days
Trying to shake off these drunken ways
It’s hard to see the sun rise over my horizons
Tell me where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been
It’s hard to see the sun rise over my horizons
Tell me where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been
But I could use a friend
Yeah, I could use a friend
Hey there Elvis, where’d you go?
It’s Friday night and I feel alone
Staring down at this empty glass
Just one more drink and I’ll make it last
It’s hard to see the sun rise over my horizons
Tell me where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been
It’s hard to see the sun rise over my horizons
Tell me where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been
But I could use a friend
Yeah, I could use a friend

Tell me, where you wanna go
I’ll say, let’s just take it slow
Put one foot in front of the other
We’ll work it out together
If that’s ok?
You just gotta trust
When we get out of this town
We’ll find somewhere that we can lay low
Dance like nobody around
Just say the word and we’ll go
All we have are big ideas and great expectations
All we have are big ideas and great expectations
Drive me, into the unknown
Take me, to where I need to go
It’s been years since I’ve felt it
That feeling, how I need it
Rushing through me
I just gotta be free

Thinking About You
03:00
|
|||
It’s been two weeks and till I don’t know
How much longer til you’re coming home
Hung on to the words you last said
Don’t wait up, I’ll see you in bed
Been thinking about late nights, playing in the dark
In the AM, we couldn’t even start to think about, thinkanything else
Been thinking about Sundays walking in the park
And the cold nights trying to find the spark
Tell me what you’re thinking
All that I’ve been thinking about is you
I climb the walls, scroll through my phone
It’s been two weeks all on my own
Your scent still lingers on the bed sheets
How much longer until we can meet?
Been thinking about late nights, playing in the dark
In the AM, we couldn’t even start to think about, thinkanything else
Been thinking about Sundays walking in the park
And the cold nights trying to find the spark
Tell me what you’re thinking
All that I’ve been thinking about is you

Happy Birthday
03:45
|
|||
For a minute there you scared me
And there was nothing I could do
Sitting here at home, miles away from you
There should’ve celebrations, back in early June
When the world finds its feet again, we’ll share a drink with you
Singing O Happy Birthday to you
I’m sorry it’s a little late
Singing O Happy Birthday to you
I’m sorry it’s a little late
When steps feel like mountains
Impossible to climb
You find a way to scale them,
Every single time
God bless your memories,
And all that they hold
A life filled with adventure
And a love that’s made of gold
Singing O Happy Birthday to you
I’m sorry it’s a little late
Singing O Happy Birthday to you
I’m sorry it’s a little late
For a minute there you scared me
There was nothing I could do
Sitting here at home, wishing you’d pull through
We’ll bring the celebrations, this year in June
When the world has found its feet again,
We’ll raise a glass to you
Singing O Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you
Singing O Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you
Singing O Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you
Singing O Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you

A Different Kind of Love
04:06
|

A new born child brings love to all
A new born child bring love to all
So hold him in your arms and don’t let go
Give all the love that you have got to show
You’ve got me feeling high when the wind blows low
You’ve got me feeling high when the wind blows low
So take me by the hand, don’t let go
If you lose your way, I’ll guide you right back home
You know It’s a different kind of love
One I’ve never felt before
So take me by the hand, don’t let go
Through the years, I can’t wait to watch you grow
No matter where you go, I’m never far behind
No matter where you go, I won’t fall behind
Just know I got your back through stormy seas
We’ll brave the weather with you right next to me
You know It’s a different kind of love
One I’ve never felt before
So take me by the hand, don’t let go
Through the years, I can’t wait to watch you grow

A Song for Peggy
02:21
|

I found myself sitting on my own
Cup of tea in my brand new home
You used to sit right beside me
Now you’ve got better things to do
You’ve been looking for a place to hide
Up and down, side to side
But I know soon enough you’ll be coming right back to me
I thought I seen you in the kitchen
But It could’ve been a trick of the eye
You went running in the rain
Now you found yourself place to dry
Yeah I know you understand
All the words I’m saying to you
But you act like you don’t, don’t you
I found myself lying in my bed
When the angel on my shoulder said
Boy, you better wake up coz you got better things to do
I was just going to ignore
Then you came storming through the door
You said come downstairs, because I got a little present for you
I thought I saw you smile
But it could’ve been a trick of the mind
I wish I could say, that that was the first time
Yeah I know, you read the room
On the days I’m feeling low
I don’t know how
But you just seem to know
I thought I heard you talk
But my ears were playing tricks on me
You chasing shadows round the room constantly
Yeah I know, you’ll be around
If I need a little company
You’re the greatest friend to me

Brother (feat. Yen)

Brother, if you need a hand
You’re my best friend
Just call and I’ll come running
Brother, if you need a hand
You’re my best friend
Just call and I’ll come running
I ain’t a human I’m a hybrid
You pulled up acting all loud on arriving
I be sat on my throne & now you silent
Normally now I’d avoid the violence,
But if your touching blood then I’m closing eyelids
Place a penny on em, bring you to hades
I’m under arrest, I’m pleading crazy
End up with Leo on shutter island? maybe
Got all these situations in my head
Where my brothers are in danger
Or struggling for breathe, so that I’m prepared in the event
Strength of mind, put the victim mentality back in line
Like Im made of bulletproof flesh
So nothing you can do will impress intimidate or depress
Were welded together, closer than ever
He got a problem, I got a problem, we out in stormy weather
To correct an error, at the end of my tether
But it’s extended when it’s a family member
Brother, if you need a hand
You’re my best friend
Just call and I’ll come running
Brother, if you need a hand
You’re my best friend
Just call and I’ll come running
Remember I’ll reach higher than I could before like ima centre
You got a issue I got a solution ima inventor
Like stark I had a metal heart but I’m currently in my ark
And it’s about to erupt like ignition sequence start.
Like I’m in a nismo
Ain’t a hero but pure in the heart like Robert de Niro
But Ill bring the ‘heat’ to a ‘grudge match’
You might wanna take a step back and ‘analyse that’
Have you like wait ‘what just happened’
That’s a quartet and we ain’t done yet
Call me galva I’m upgraded snd damnit I been patient
Moving cities like I forgot to get off at the last station
I was asking them but now they asking me like turning tables
Tryna reach that point where in 10 years I’m the focus of a fable
Travelling the world like a fibre optic cable
And when we’re done here I’ll meet you at the gate with Gabriel
Brother, if you need a hand
You’re my best friend
Just call and I’ll come running
Brother, if you need a hand
You’re my best friend
Just call and I’ll come running
This world can be cutthroat, a rough road
Easy fix I wouldn’t trust those
Wether it’s a bloody nose, you know I’ll show
Been the same since we were little now we’re grown
This a outpost, so here’s the hope
It’ll reach your through the smoke
Right now we’re danger close
Just don’t breathe that heavy air in
Im turning back for you like this a hairpin

Ghost
03:21

There’s no future in song
Hate to bring the mood down
Gotta get myself a trade now
Before it all goes wrong
I hate to bring up the past
But it’s all that we can do now
Bring the good times back round
We always knew they won’t last
Always knew they won’t last
Tell me where
Where is my saviour
Where is my lifeline
When I need it the most
Where’s my salvation
Where is my lifeboat
All I am these days is a ghost
I feel like a ghost
I was the star of the show
But you turned my movie right round
Flipped my world upside down
Ain’t no movie no more
They boarded up the place
Where we’d dance all night long
Singing all our songs
Left without a hint of a trace
Tell me where
Where is my saviour
Where is my lifeline
When I need it the most
Where’s my salvation
Where is my lifeboat
All I am these days is a ghost
I feel like a ghost
We gotta hear it from the top down
Why they gotta make it look so good
Is it time to make a change now?
I don’t feel like I could

Elizabeth II

Staring by the window sill
Swallowing a bitter pill
Counting down the days until
You can begin to forgive me
Take another late night drive
Same time every night
When the dawn breaks, I might
Call you up, because I’m sorry
It’s always been you
But sometimes
I can do wrong
It’ll always be you
But this time I admit that I’m wrong, I did you wrong
Playing back the nights when we
Would drink our own weight in Tea
Talking shit endlessly
And fall asleep on sofa
You can call it simpler times
No house, no kids, No alabai’s
Just eating junk and drinking wine
I don’t believe that it’s over
It’s always been you
But sometimes
I can do wrong
It’ll always be you
But this time I admit that I’m wrong, I did you wrong
They’re only words but I mean it
It’s only truth if you believe it
But only words can help us now
I gotta tell you how
I couldn’t take another day
Thinking about the price I’ve paid
I’m missing you and all the ways
You would endear yourself to me
It’s always been you
But sometimes
I can do wrong
It’ll always be you
But this time I admit that I’m wrong, I did you wrong

You were my lighthouse guiding me home
Said you always had my back but you don’t
You should’ve stood by me
I should’ve stood my ground
Should’ve been there til the end
But you want me like your whiskey
You water me down
I never knew my strength
Can’t sit around and wait
For you to come round
We’ve gotta give up the right
It’s bringing us down
You were the brightest flame at the start
You burned out the candle, left me in the dark
Can you take me higher ?
Can you bring me to my knees?
Can you take me on a ride?
Will you be my messiah?
Will you bring the peace?
Or will you watch as our love dies?
Or will you watch as our love dies?
Can’t sit around and wait
For you to come round
We’ve gotta give up the right
It’s bringing us down
Don’t Wanna Waste My Time
But it’s too late now
Don’t Wanna Waste My Time
Boy, you bring me down
You bring me down down down down

Green Light
02:49

I got your picture in my phone
And your number saved inside my wallet
I wrote your favourite song down
In case I ever forgot it
One day I’m gonna sing it to you
And you’ll laugh or you’ll cry
But at least I can say I tried
Because god knows, I’m a trier
Feed me to the flames
Set me on fire
Now I’ve met you
There’s nothing else I wanna do
But Talk Tonight
I should tell you
But I’m frighened that I’ll scare you off
I’ll wait for the green light
I’ve been looking at my phone
Too much and I gotta stop it
Hoping that your name appears
When I unlock it
You’re probably working, or out with the girls
Maybe you didn’t press send
Or is this, how this story ends
Now I’ve met you
There’s nothing else I wanna do
But hold you tight
I should tell you
But I’m frighened that I’ll scare you off
I’ll wait for the green light
Just so you know
I don’t usually lose my cool
I got a habit of taking it slow
But it’s different when it’s you
