it begins all again

You can be so happy
that you get all afraid
That what fills you up
could be taken away
So you worry and fret
that this joy that you feel
Is as good as it gets
or it might not be real
And this worry you have
it can make you feel weak
Like dark clouds overhead
you start to feel bleak
You move a lot slower
and your voice now is low
Your view of the world
doesn't have the same glow
This darkness it grips you
and you start to now be
So consumed by its grasp
that you need to break free
It's pulling and tugging
a fight deep within
Then something now breaks
tears roll off your chin
The shadows they lift
the sun's out again
The fear has now gone
this wasn't the end
So you pick yourself up
more love now to send
And then the whole cycle
begins all again.

I remember there's birds

And after all that we've done
After all we've been through
I still catch my breath
As I'm looking at you
It makes me feel warm
And I curl up my toes
And my tummy feels light
And I wrinkle my nose
I could be stood in the middle
Of the busiest street
Amongst all the traffic
With no shoes on my feet
But I wouldn't notice
And I wouldn't care
Because I'm feeling the sun
And I'm breathing the air
And in that little moment
When you say those 3 words
I remember there's flowers
I remember there's birds.

to live out our dreams


I said goodbye to you tonight
Walked paths of leaves and fallen dreams
I no longer hold you tight
I'm not bursting at the seams

Now I'm empty and I'm void
My expiry date has passed
But this wasn't meant for ever
It wasn't meant to last

I wandered down a road
And had found me in this place
The same is held within
But now I wear a different face

A silent undercurrent
That carries thoughts away
And leaves marks along the banks
Like the ripples on the bay

My time here now has reached an end
I'd said I'd know it when
I'd finished all I had to do
And would return again

Under a watchful London Eye
You're not with me in this place
But I know you're by my side
In the light I see your face

So I'll leave you in the Autumn
And you'll meet me in the spring
I'm coming home to you
To share our life and live our dreams

what I see now is us

When I look in your eyes
I don't see you
I don't see depth
I don't see blue
I don't see lips
So full, so true
I don't see love
Or the fragrance of you
Doesn't fill up my senses
And make me feel weak
Reaching up for your hand
As you're stroking my cheek
I don't see a man
That's learned of life's knocks
And ridden the waves
Recovered from shocks
I don't see a man who's given himself
To make my life be
Full of love
And of wealth
The wealth of another
To have them complete
By your side on your path
Or sitting on the same seat
I don't see a man
With a generous heart
Who won't let me guess
Who won't let me part
But sat waiting for me
And making things clear
I was loosing myself
As I always was here
And I don't see a man
Who shared the same dream
And saw the same face
And pulled the same seam
What I see is a man 
Who makes my heart beat
Who makes my lungs fill
Who makes me complete
My visions a blur
My thoughts are a buzz
It's not you that I see
What I see now is us.

that will not go

Living out the love songs
Read between the lines
Every time my heart beats
Every clock that chimes
It counts another moment
It finds another place
Where your eyes will meet with mine
Where your hands are on my face
And we sleep with bodies touching
Wrapped around with arms and legs
And your nose rests on my temple
And my mind is full of dregs
That are slowly leaving off now
And leaving us alone
New beginnings made together
Another half that will not go.

a new life to live

When I'm with you
The rest disappear
They slip far away
With the stroke of my ear
And your hand on my cheek
You're cupping my face
And holding me close
Anchored into this place
And it's not about land
Or constellations in the sky
It's having you near
And being there by your side
And without the words
I know what you feel
Your lips they are mine
And your kisses I steal
And the more that I take
The more that you give
There were lives once before
And a new life to live.

what it is

We know what we want
We know we want this
And now we can grieve
For days that we missed
Spent wandering around
And trying new things
And making mistakes
And making new dreams
And going in circles
And finding the line
And finding our truth
And finding the time
To only discover
It always was this
And we know now for sure
What it is we would miss... x
