Back To How It Was

I wish you had never called me,
and I was strong enough to not pick up the phone.
Cos now we’re somewhere in between,
and it might just take the year to get my head straight.
All the words I attached to you never just fell from my mouth.
Maybe I should have turned around,
and gone straight to your house,
and put it all back to how it was.
I thought I’d let my guard down,
cos after all, what’s there to worry about?
Don’t I make you dizzy love?
There was a time I’d follow you right to the end of the earth.
Maybe I should have turned around,
and gone straight to your house,
and put it all back to how it was.
I know it’s not helping but I can’t help it.
That thought always gets back in somehow,
and it gets back in so loud…
Oh it’s gonna take time,
and it’s gonna be slow.
Will take all of my might to not look back at all.
If all the words you attached to me never just fell from your mouth.
Why didn’t you just turn around,
and stop me at that underpass,
and put it all back to how it was.
I know we weren’t working but,
we could’ve worked on it.
All that distance never outreached my love.

Someone Kill This Party

Verse 1
Charlie it’s so good to see you back in town
These nights rarely happen now
You light up the room when your smile extends from ear to ear
Safe to say it’s not been an easy year
Verse 2
I thought just a couple of drinks tonight
When the DJ asked us to scream I just stayed quiet
Tonight there is no better place to suck the life from me
Than a square paneled floor where the light shines up from underneath
Chorus
Someone kill this party
Someone take this off of me
Had I known this was in store
I might have stayed home
Wrap your arms around me
Hold me like you’re not letting go
I’m on my way down
I see no way back now
Verse 3
Charlie I can’t leave it at the door
I see her in every reflection of light
I hear her in every voice
I hate to think you only know me like this
But when it starts I can’t ever make it stop
Chorus
Someone kill this party
Someone take this off of me
I should have know this was in store
And just stayed home
Wrap your arms around me
Hold me like you’re not letting go
I’m on my way down
I see no way back now
Verse 4
Charlie I left without goodbyes
It’s all just a little much tonight
If you’re around at all some point this week
I’d sure like to see you
Before you leave

No Change Tonight
04:24

I took a moment outside to put myself together,
The host came out to see me,
The party stayed inside behind her.
She said it means so much you coming,
I hope you’re having a good time.
I thought I really hate to do it,
Sometimes it’s best to lie.
There’s no change tonight,
You’re on my mind.
There’s no change tonight,
You’re on my mind.
I walked through the french doors into the living room.
I saw the make-shift dance floor and I imagined you,
Twirling round the room,
Stealing all their gazes.
When your eyes land on mind,
You look so disappointed.
She said look around you,
You’re surrounded by the ones that you love.
I said call me selfish,
Without you here it’s just not enough.
There’s no change tonight,
You’re on my mind.
There’s no change tonight,
You’re on my mind.
And you’re on my mind,
All the time.
You’re on my mind,
All the time.
You’re on my mind,
All the time.
You’re on my mind,
All the time.

Coming Of Age

Go break a leg you know you got this one.
I wish I believed what you said.
I used to think that kind of confidence,
Would one day greet me like an old friend.
Instead I’m hiding tonight in the bathroom whilst you’re all downstairs,
Trying to recognise the person in the mirror.
Never thought it would hurt this bad or bleed this way,
Oh the greatest lie is coming of age.
Go break a leg you know you got this one.
Those words dissolve in my head.
Each year more of me disappears,
I forget what the feeling I’m chasing is.
I’ve been away for too long for it to go unnoticed now.
Any second you’ll be coming to find me.
You’ll sit me down, eye to eye, tell me straight.
I was sold a lie counting the days,
This has all just been a terrible mistake,
Oh the greatest lie is coming of age.
Instead you put your hand on me,
Said “it's okay to feel the way you feel”.
Life can drag you in circles and spins,
Go at your own pace coming of age.
Instead you put your hand on me,
Said “it's okay to feel the way you feel”.
Life can drag you in circles and spins,
Go at your own pace coming of age.
Ohhhhhhhh
A step in the right direction, is one less further away.
Go at your own pace,
Coming of age.
A step in the right direction, is one less further away.
Go at your own pace,
Coming of age.
