NICE TO SEE YA
Finally now do I see
You’ve always been there for me
Telling me the things I need to hear
It’s never been about being wrong or right
Win or lose but never quit the fight
Live the life you’ve always dreamed about
Things can stand in your way
As they will if you stay
Head off now, go and see the world
Use the fear; give it all you‘ve got
Show them all it was worth a shot
You’ll only fail baby if you never try
CHORUS
And she said, Oh oh oh
It’s nice to see ya
You can come on over when you like
When you’re lost, when you’re broken
My door is always open
Oh oh oh it’s nice to see ya
Emotions high as I leave
Making it hard to believe
We’ve had our share of many ups and downs
Still I love you after all these years
Through the laughter through the many tears
This is home and you’re welcome anytime
CHORUS
To see ya’s nice

The Waiting Game

THE WAITING GAME
Spent my teens roaming side streets
Avoid the hard road when I could
And in the corner of my mind I’d wait for you
But the waiting did no good
I used to think life was easy
Now I know that’s not true
The journey’s rough and oh the road is long
But the road leads to you
Followed the signs there in front of me
and tried to be patience, know I’m on my way
Will the sun shine on the other side?
or will it always look the same?
I just play the waiting game
The waiting game
Watch my dreams from the sideline
Just a stone throw away
Though I looked I never truly saw
This is my game to play
Close my eyes I need a breather
Hit a wall with all my force
Cause I know I believe in something more
You can hear it in my voice
I can feel it right in front of me
But I try to be patient; know I’m on my way
Is it brighter on the other side?
Or is it always looking grey?
I just play the waiting game, the waiting game
Try to be patient, Try to be patient
I’ve got to be patient, if I want it
Will it always look the same?
I just play the waiting game, the waiting game

If You Were Mine

IF YOU WERE MINE
Every night that I lay with you
I wish it were more than a dream
Holding on to what could’ve been
Is breaking my heart at the seam
Well I know that I can’t walk away
If there’s a chance you could love me someday
CHORUS
If you were mine
I’d give you the world
Take what you want
Now cause it’s yours
I know you deserve the best I can give
If you were mine
Whenever you’re not here with me
I feel like I’m melting away
But when I’m with you baby, you make me feel
Like I’m somebody
There’s no chance I’m walking away
I pray that you’ll love me someday
CHORUS
I’ll come running when you call me
I will catch you when you fall
And I’ll be there to hold you in the night
forever, oh forever
CHORUS

FACE THE WORLD ALONE
For the last twenty years
I’ve been looking out for you
But now you’re grown and ready to go
And face the world alone
For the past twenty years
I’ve seen you every single day
But now it’s time for us to say goodbye
And face the world alone
And face the world alone
In my life I have seen
The person you’ve grown up to be
And I’m proud to know that you are mine
And face the world alone
Face the world alone
You’ll be my baby, be my baby forever x 4
I knew this day had to come
Please don’t worry about me
Cause baby, baby, baby, babe
it’s you’re time to shine
And face the world alone x 4

Ghost Town Blues

GHOST TOWN BLUES
So black was the night
Not a soul to be seen under the streetlight
Heaven’s been shut, it’s closing down
So what were you thinking?
All alone in this ghost town tonight
CHORUS
So I said… Come on, ready when you want me
No fear, keep the karma coming
I’m here, standing on my own two feet
Just keep on looking at me
You ain’t got nothing on me
So empty was the place
With a smell of tobacco and a sour taste
Darkness fell, in the blink of an eye
So what were you doing?
All alone with the bad guy that night
CHORUS
I’ve been walking for days
And I’ve somehow lost the way
All I hear are little voices say
Go back (go back, go back, go back)
Go back (go back go back go back)
So heavy was the night
As the shadows creep under the moonlight
It’s only a dream, til I open my eyes
So how did I get here?
Deep in the heart of this ghost town, tonight
CHORUS

When Autumn Came

WHEN AUTUMN CAME
I was waiting for my baby
In the cold October rain
Never did my baby show
The night the autumn came
The night when autumn came
How the strangers passed in darkness
As I waited to be claimed
But nobody showed to take me home
The night the autumn came
The night when autumn came
It’s dark and leaves are falling
Summers dead and gone
Blowing winds whisper thoughts of you
As the heartache, the heartache lingers
Stars and leaves are falling
Summers far behind
Howling winds whisper thoughts of you
That echo round my mind, like echo’s
Something deep within me
Knew I’d never be the same
You left me broken hearted
The night the autumn came
The night when autumn came

Sweet Surrender

SWEET SURRENDER
Changing streets and closing arms
Is this what I want my life to be?
Don’t recognize this place at all
Oh tonight there’s silence
Chasing dreams into the dark
So far to reach with walls surrounding me
Growing tired with every thought
I’ve tried to keep my silence but I must break this
CHORUS
You will find me by the river
With my head up to the sky
Come and heed my sweet surrender
Now I hold my head up, hold it high
Confusing night time with the day
No sense of time all hours look the same
Colours fading into grey
What on earth has happened, got to end this
CHORUS
Oh no I won’t be afraid, you’re here with me
and now the truth has set, set me free, I am free
CHORUS

Show Me What Love Is

SHOW ME WHAT LOVE IS
Days are getting harder
Mornings are the worst
I wish you would find me
Without you it hurts
Hours last a lifetime
Years go by so fast
Seen you in my future
Forgetting the past
CHORUS
And he will be loving and kind
He’ll fix what’s been broken, he will try
and show me what love is
Show me what love is
What love is, what love is
Living life without you
Nothing seems to feel right
Cause I know that you’re out there
Come and hold me tonight, tonight
CHORUS
What love is, he will show me
what love is, be there for me
he will be loving
and kind
fix what’s been broken, he will try
he will be patient, by my side
and show me what love is x 4

It Ain't About You

IT AINT ABOUT YOU
“I’ll be back in an hour”, you said to me
You roll in after 7
and I could smell what you’d been drinking
“When’s daddy gonna be back?”
“he shouldn’t be too long”
The words came out of my mouth well
but they could tell what I was thinking
PRE CHORUS
You should’ve kept yourself inside
so we could’ve tried to talk it right
Here we go with another fight,
tear each other up through the night
CHORUS
it aint about you
it aint about me
it’s about what’s gonna be best
It’s about what’s gonna be best
You’ve been out and about
Every single night
Now I’ve got a few questions,
Since I heard about you flirting
Have you forgotten we’re here?
Or did you need some space?
You may say I’m possessive
but it ain’t just me you’re hurting
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS

All You Need Is a Friend
03:19

ALL YOU NEED IS A FRIEND
Years and years of waiting for something
No time for resting when all you do is sleep
Plenty of chance for a decent conversation
But you’re talking to yourself not the company you keep
Round and round in circles, barely conscious
Rolling with the flow of a never ending tale
Tears and fears are taking up your time when
All that they’ll achieve is the guarantee to fail
CHORUS
Sometimes all you need is a friend
Who will love you and care for you,
be there for you til the end
They will know when you’re lost,
never judge what you do
When you’re out in the cold
they’ll be searching for you
Sometimes all you need is a friend
It grows and grows a feeling you’re the only
Person in the world who’s lost their every hope
Shows and shows and the days are feeling lonely
Watch out ahead it can be a slippy slope
CHORUS
