Ladybug
00:26
|
|||
|
To love someone so much when they decide to go.
To love someone so much you didn’t even know
How much you’d miss the little things, but couldn’t tell.
Just know they loved you so much as well.

Back Step
01:09
|
|||
|
If I was to go, back to where I was before,
I’d be taking a back step, from where I am
If I’m to move on, pretending everything’s alright,
Leave it to the experts, that aren’t here
It’s for sure the hardest thing,
To come to terms with suffering,
And its where I don’t, want to be

Maybe Sorrow
02:46
|
|||
|
I wrote you a letter
Saying how I feel,
As best I could.
Then I gave you that letter,
Cause you love to read,
But not this time.
Maybe not today,
Maybe not tomorrow.
Maybe sorrow.
Well I don’t write letters.
I prefer to sing,
It’s just easier.
But you loved your letters.
You used them everyday,
Now never again
Maybe not today,
Maybe not tomorrow.
Maybe sorrow.
Maybe not today.
Maybe not tomorrow.
Maybe not at all…
Maybe sorrow.

2 Months
02:45
|
|||
|
When I laid in your arms, I could never get it right.
So I sang in my head a song
That you would be there through the night.
When you left, it’s like I was there.
When you left a single tear.
It’s all I have.
Yes it’s all I have.
Do you remember when you passed?
I do.
If you choose to let me go away,
Let me go first.
Cause I could never reveal why you left.
Never ever.
Oh it seems like eternity,
But it hasn’t been 2 months for me.
It’s all in time.
Yeah it’s all in time.
Cause if you take all of mine with you,
Then I can take your love with me too.

Not Yet
00:47
|
|||
|
There’ll come a time when I won’t cry
Come a day that I won’t sigh
But it’s not yet, but it’s not yet now
Until I reflect with pure joy
What you were pure joy
I’ll still regret, I’ll still regret the missed, chances…

Down Down Here
01:59
|
|||
|
When’s a good time,
to call it quits
I hope you do get to your home,
Beyond the sky
But while we wait, down down here,
We will cry, we will laugh, and we will wish
That you had never
…left us behind, alone with our thoughts
Trying to make sense of living, still here
But while we wait, down down here,
We will cry, we will laugh, and we will wish
That you had never
Left

Cold Again
00:50
|
|||
|
Couldn’t fight these fires if it was cold again
Wouldn’t need to panic if it was cold again
But I know that when it’s cold again
You won’t be here for the first time
And I will remember, our last time
Then I’ll be cold again
|

Falls Away
02:59
|
|||
|
What do I do? You’re not there anymore,
Then what’s the point of it all?
Standing there, knowing you,
Will wrestle through, because I rely on what you do
Go and just fall away
Oh it just falls away
And if you are up there, why can’t I see?
Be with you one last time.
Seems so unfair, wish I could know,
Believe it’s so, it’s so hard to understand
Go and just fall away
Oh it just falls away
And you, you’re not there for me
I don’t wanna lose, you

All This Light
01:37
|
|||
|
When you leave here, will you come with me?
All this light, falling down on me.
I can remember, but would it be better,
If you just stayed? Stay around, please.
You’re so sick, but it shouldn’t excuse who you are.
I don’t want this to ruin your life.
So take my life when you decide to,
So I can be with you, always

I Want To Believe
01:36
|
|||
|
I live alone, I know you’re around
I use my phone, I keep it on loud but I
can’t keep going on like this
You seem like you’re not a mess
You seem happy regardless
You seem over it
Now I want to believe
Now I want to believe
Now I want to believe
I don’t want much, don’t want at all
I’m losing touch with, the young and old
But I feel like I was lost from the start
Just take me back to where I was
Take control of me because
Why not be over it!
Now I want to believe
Now I want to believe
Now I want to believe

Life Must Go On
02:28
|
|||
|
Sometimes shit gets in the way
But life, life must go on.
Creatures move up and down the chain,
Still life, life must go on.
How do you find, meaning in work anymore?
Expected to move on, but not slow down at all.
How do you find meaning in anything?
The point of living ceases to exist
Sometimes shit gets in the way
But life, life must go on.
Creatures move up and down the chain,
Still life, life must go on.
Yes life, life must go on
It’s all moving so fast. It’s all so fast.
There’s not even time to breathe or think!
It’s hard to cope with this weight. It’s so hard to cope.
I want to but, I also don’t care.
Sometimes shit gets in the way
But life, life must go on.
Why bother counting years, or looking ahead,
because time will just take us away?

With You Above
02:16
|
|||
|
It’s been a while now
And yet I still don’t smile
I probably never will
Not until, I see you again
Friends, they get me through
And I thank God I have you
Because if I didn’t
I know I’d be,
Lost in myself
With you above, watching me
With you above, waiting for me
With you above, now I can
See
See
I can see
see
I can see

The Point
02:07
|
|||
|
Tell me what’s the point,
In living this life
When there’s a better one later?
It all just repeats
Ends are the same
What I’m doing seems pointless here
Writing songs
For no one to hear
Not much of a legacy there
But I know, if you were here
It would be that much easier
But you’re not, and it hurts
I just want to be with you again
So what’s the point, in living here
When I could be with you right now
But that’s not the point …
Tell me what’s the point
In daily routine
I wake up then I sleep again
It all just feels so small
Insignificant
When I stop to self-reflect
But I know, if you were here
It would be that much easier
But you’re not, and it hurts
I just want to see you again
So what’s the point, in living here
When I could be with you right now
But that’s not the point …

Useless People
00:57
|
|||
|
Getting familiar with the strange.
Lean into it, the pain.
Don’t hang around for answers,
They aren’t coming anytime soon.
The best time was days ago,
second best is now, which is gone.
|

OK
02:29
|
|||
|
Psychic secrets give us hope
Angels keeping us awake “Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah “
We just want to know if you’re ok
We just want to know if you’re ok
Eager to get a dream visit
Praying we’ll meet, meet again
We just want to know if you’re ok
We just want to know
We just want to know if you’re ok
We just want to know if you’re ok

When Will I...
02:58
|
|||
|
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
I planned forever, but now it’s never
When will I see you again?
When will I know you’re alright?
When will I know you’re alright?
I still feel the pain. Do you feel the same?
When will I know you’re alright?
When will I find the answers?
When will I find the answers?
Should I wait? It’s unclear, while I miss you down here.
When will I find the answers?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
If I don’t get to, just know I love you.
When will I see you again?
