Forest down

It takes one match to burn the forest down,
but that forest down is more than one match.
It takes one word to tear your spirit down,
and with that spirit down oh many more will fall.
I don’t wanna see the day that I look back,
regret the way I loved you, I still do.
And i still wanna get to say how I’m thinking,
every way I still do, oh love you,
yes i do.
It takes one flame to light the night sky,
but if the night is dark it's not just you and I.
To light one more won’t shorten your own life,
never going down only being passed around.
And I don’t wanna see the day that I look back,
regret the way I loved you, I still do.
And i still wanna get to say how I’m thinking,
every way I still do, oh love you,
yes i do.
cause it takes your mind to read into my eyes
and it takes the sun to shine
the love you give shouldn’t make you lonely,
but if you’re lonely take a look around.
I don’t wanna see the day that I look back,
regret the way I loved you, I still do.
And i still wanna get to say how I’m thinking,
every way I still do, oh love you,
yes i do.

faces

trying hard to find my way but i’m not well travelled,
my mind is in circles, I don’t get the hassle.
climbing down the ivory tower, has been so confusing,
but slightly imposing, a sword on my spine.
where do I turn to and where do I roam
these people are faces but they’re not my home
slipping through your gentle hands what a slow stagger,
i don’t like this feeling of being replaced.
while I figure out how to be who I want me to be,
my heart will keep grasping for something at all.
where do I turn to and where do I roam
these people are faces but they’re not my home
for a while now I’ve been wondering does it change,
for a while now I’ve been searching to find my own way.
where do I turn to and where do I roam
these people are faces but they’re not my home

Phenomenon

My friends don’t know your name, but I’m sure that’s bound to change.
You love all the things that i do, I’d only say the same for you.
‘Cause it's a sunny day, even with all this rain.
You’ve got a hold on me, you’re in everything I see.
I’m counting all the stones that you throw, and you don’t even know.
That you are one of a kind, but please don’t think that I mind.
‘Cause it's a sunny day, even with all this rain.
You’ve got a hold on me, you’re in everything I see.
‘Cause it's a sunny day, even without any rain.
You’ve got a hold on me, you are everything I see.
Our days seem to carry on, what a phenomenon.

I Told You

I told you not to close your eyes,
but i told you i was done with your lies.
Some people say that when your heart breaks,
you’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never,
you’ll never be the same.
Sunset is a pretty thing,
so bathed in mystery.
The finest things always come undone,
you’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never,
you’ll never be the same.
I’m in love with your fairytale,
story book lives on the shelf.
With a kiss on the head and that wave goodbye,
you’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never,
you’ll never be the same.
Yours is the name that leaves chatter in my brain,
drenched with such memory.
A home in my heart, give my eyes a rest,
you’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never,
you’ll never be the same.
I told you not to close your eyes.

mind falls

You lay your cards, I show my scars, laying it all on the line.
There’s no way to navigate, as the world falls in on its seams.
So I’ll stop in this moment waiting for a chance.
Can this be all that I am?
A million pieces that show who I am.
Are these feelings of love hard to understand?
Once moving so freely, too honest a land.
What if you could see all I can be, without waving white flags?
It’s a guessing game, you don’t know my brain.
Watching it fall through the cracks.
So I’ll stop in this moment waiting for a chance.
Can this be all that I am?
A million pieces that show who I am.
Are these feelings of love hard to understand?
Once moving so freely, too honest a land.
Too honest a land.
Open wide before your eyes, mind falls into ease.
