SAME OLD SONGS

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

THINKING OF YOU

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


BARELY BREATHING

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

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 

DAYDREAMING

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

FIND YOUR TRUTH

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

HIGH IQ

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

MAYBE

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
