You’re not the boy that I’ve been writing about in my songs

You’re not who I imagined I would get so caught up on

When I first met you I didn’t give you a second look

I thought here’s a boy who hasn’t matured

But time's a funny thing and I saw something in him,

And then he kissed me on the lips and everything was bliss

For about a minute

Then he just wasn’t in it

You haven’t broken my heart

You just scratched up the surface a little

You left me second guessing and questioning myself

What do I want and what do I need

It was never you

So why did I still want you?

Why did I still want you

Maybe I should trust my first gut feeling a little more

You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were

But enough is enough I’m done thinking about you

I’m just trying to figure out what I ever saw in -

You haven’t broken my heart,

You just scratched up the surface a little

You left me second guessing and questioning myself

What do I want and what do I need

It was never you

So why did I still want you?

Why did I still want you

You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were

You change your mind like a child in a candy store

You’re just a boy who never matured

Time’s a funny thing

I can’t believe I ever dated him

You haven’t broken my heart,

You just scratched up the surface a little

You left me second guessing and questioning myself

What do I want and what do I need

It was never you

So why did I still want you?

Why did I still want you

Losing track of the days

Time has no meaning anymore

Self reflection would pay

But I’m too numb to even look in the mirror

Do I want back that old life of mine?

It feels different, I don’t know what’s right

I get so caught up in my mind

It’s like a knot I can’t untie

I try and try and try and try

I get so caught up in my mind

My mind, my mind

I’m sick of writing the same old songs

About the same old problems

Shouldn’t I be painting pictures

Of something bigger by now?

I get so caught up in my mind

It’s like a knot I can’t untie

I try and try and try and try

I get so caught up in my mind

My mind, my mind

I get so caught up in my mind

It’s like a knot I can’t untie

I try and try and try and try

I get so caught up in my mind

I get so caught up in my head

I just can’t take it all in

I try and try and try and try

I get so caught up in my mind

My mind

My mind

Losing track of the days

Time has no meaning anymore

Phone lights up and I'm hoping it's your name

Saying that something made you think of me

But it's another reminder that I've got something else to do

And you're a little busy and not thinking of me too

But I am, I am thinking of you

I am, I am thinking of you

Not much to it

Just your name and all the things we could do

I am thinking of you

It's kind of cruel to have this connection

In the palm of my hand

But being too afraid to use it

Cause I don't know where I stand

And I don't want you to think I'm crazy

So I try to play it cool

I want you to think I'm amazing

I don't know why I do

I am thinking of you

I am, I am thinking of you

Not much to it

Just your name and all the things we could do

I am thinking of you

Those sunset drives, a smile that sticks in my mind

Like a photograph with a burnt orange sky

And those late night date nights, are we more than just friends?

I don't know what I'm doing here again

I am

I am thinking of you

I am, I am thinking of you

Not much to it

Just your name and all the things we could do

I am thinking of you

But I don't want to, if you're not thinking of me too

No I don't want to

If you're not thinking of me, too

The day you left I lost my breath

I remember how the sun looked setting behind you

As you slowly tore up my heart

Emptied my lungs and left me in the dark

You were so beautiful in that light

Like a killer in disguise

I’m barely breathing without you here

My vision’s going blurry my chest can’t rise

Feel like I’m drowning I feel like I’m dying

I’m barely breathing I’m barely breathing

The first night you weren’t there

I remember the way the darkness settled

I felt the loneliness creep up on me

Holding on to a memory


I’m barely breathing without you here

My vision’s going blurry my chest can’t rise

Feel like I’m drowning I feel like I’m dying

I’m barely breathing I’m barely breathing

And the darkness suffocated the light

I felt everything and nothing at the same time

My heart stopped beating when you left that night

My lungs stopped breathing when you left me behind

I’m barely breathing without you here

My vision’s going blurry my chest can’t rise

Feel like I’m drowning I feel like I’m dying

I’m barely breathing I’m barely breathing

I’m not very good with my words

I think a lot but speaking makes my stomach turn

If I try to tell you what I feel

I’d say something stupid it wouldn’t come out right

I’d say something stupid it wouldn’t come out right

I need some beautiful words to sing

Maybe you’d sing them back to me

and if you sung I’d know you felt the way I did

In this moment we are so young

I can see your eyes shine like the sun

Maybe we could runaway one day

Maybe we could runaway one day

My favourite song is your smile

It tells so many stories and it sounds different every time

I’m probably not making any sense

I’ve said something stupid but I meant what I said

I’ve said something stupid but I meant what I said

I need some beautiful words to sing

Maybe you’d sing them back to me

And if you sung I’d know you felt the way I did

In this moment we are so young

I can see your eyes shine like the sung

Maybe we could runaway one day

Maybe we could runaway one day

And maybe I daydream too much

Maybe I should focus more on what’s real

But maybe daydreaming is what’s keeping me alive

What could be a better way to spend my time?

I need some beautiful words to sing

Maybe you’d sing them back to me

And if you sung I’d know you felt the way I did

In this moment we are so young

I can see your eyes shine like the sun

Maybe we could runaway one day

Maybe we could runaway one day

I started out insecure, unsure, unknown, easily taken and turned

Into something I’m not, someone I don’t want to be

Picked up some bad habits, negative thoughts, time wasted, opportunities lost

But I’ve learned, I’ve grown and I’ve realised

It doesn’t matter what guitar I have or what venues I’m playing at

Take me back to things that really matter

Like sharing a part of your heart with the world,

And just being here with the people that care

Enjoy the life you were given

But make it your own, choose your own road

I’ve still got a lot of growing up to do, plenty to learn, plenty of battles to lose

But I feel like I’m growing stronger each day, moving forward, making my own way

Taking some risks, taking some chances to follow this crazy day dream of mine

That I’ve had in my head since the age of nine,

So listen, take in these lyrics, I’m not saying I’ve got a lot worth sharing but

I’ll never know if I never try

I’ve learned from Ed Sheeran to work hard and aim for the sky

So hold on to the passion I’m putting in this song

I’ll do the same when my days feel long

I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t times I couldn’t get myself out of bed

I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t moments when I fantasised about being dead

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t messed up, and crazy, just like you

The truth is, life is battle, a struggle, something everyone goes through.

Take your time, enjoy the ride

Find the melody that speaks to you

Look deep inside and find your truth

She stole my heart quicker than anyone before

I’m not sure how I had it locked behind a high security door

Maybe she has a really high IQ

Maybe she drugged the guard and stole the combination to get through

These walls were made of gold

These walls were made of stone

I wasn’t planning on letting anyone call them home

But there she is

I’ve been robbed before

Last time I led the thief right to my core, showed them around

Handed them the valuables and watched them skip town

So I took what I had left

Buried it so I couldn’t be hurt again

Maybe she has a really High IQ

Maybe she drugged the guard

And stole the combinations to get through

These walls were made of gold

These walls were made of stone

I wasn’t planning on letting anyone call them home

But there she is

There she is

There she is standing there

I take one look and I don’t care

If she steals my heart

if she steals my heart

If she steals my heart

It’s finally beating again

I like your smile I like your laugh

I like the way you look at me

And I know everything’s gonna be okay

I like your hands and your feet

The way they look so big next to mine

But we still dance in perfect time

Maybe, maybe we could be

Maybe, maybe you like me

Like I like you

I like your hair I like your eyes

The way they sparkle in the light

And crinkle when you smile

I like your mouth I like your teeth

And the thought of your lips pressed to mine

Makes me feel like I could fly

Maybe, maybe we could be

Maybe, maybe you and me

Would be perfect together

You pop into my head when I least expect it

Am I crazy, am I scaring you? it’s a just a little crush

Just a little obsession I have with you baby

Maybe, maybe we could be

Maybe, maybe you like me

Like I like you

Maybe, maybe we could be

Maybe, maybe you and me

Would be perfect together
