When it looks like love is on the way
Will you turn your head the other way
Or will you do what you must do
Go ahead be brave my friend

If you should falter along your path
Just keep on keeping on
If it's true what they say then love is on the way
Keep on keeping on my friend

And it will take some doing
Before you get it right
And if you're feeling broken
Then hear the words I've spoken

When it looks like love is on the way
Will you turn your head the other way
Or will you do what you must do
Go ahead be brave my friend

Love Is on the Way

Could it be me
You've been waiting for
All this time, yeah
Nobody waits for you
When you say you don't
Wanna be disturbed, yeah

Well I have given up things I love
And started doing things I hate
All in spite of this pitiful life
I have gone away but now I'm back
With a fresh face and all of that
Do you think I'm ready will it be today

Could it be me
You've been waiting for
All this time, yeah
Nobody waits for you
When you say you don't
Wanna be disturbed, yeah

Well I have given up things I love
And started doing things I hate
All in spite of this pitiful life
I have gone away but now I'm back
With a fresh face and all of that
Do you think I'm ready will it be today

I'm not sure
How this works
I'll figure it out

Could it be me
You've been waiting for
All this time, yeah
Nobody waits for you
When you say you don't
Wanna be disturbed, yeah

I wish I was immortal
I wish this'd never end
It's not even that good
But it's all I get
I know I'm ungrateful
And lacking in wisdom

But it's the end
It's the end (x3)

I wish I was beautiful
I wish I was a catch
Someone you could talk about
As if they weren't a rash
I know I'm self-loathing
And lacking perspective

Love your friends (x4)

When you were younger
And you wished upon a star
What did you ask for
Did it get you very far
Somehow I'm still going
Though lacking direction

This feels right (x4)

This Feels Right/It's The End

This Feels Right (It's The End)

I wrote this with the intention of at some point having words and a melody. But it seemed to develop in a way that never asked for lyrics.

Pre-Gala Nala

You had love
You had it all
And you had it so young
You didn't care at all
Your mum's protector
Your brother's pal
And your father's helper
Where is he now?

I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I'm leaving to find heart and to find myself
I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I hope I get it back

On the run
For a couple years
Stole some love
For a couple tears
Been up and down
Been homeward bound
Still I miss the sound
Of those trees around

But I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I'm leaving to find heart and myself
I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I hope I get it back

There's a time a boy must find
What makes him a man, makes him a man
And that's not a cutting statement
It's just a fact, it's just a fact
Please just believe in this world in which you live
Cause it'll straighten you out

You had love
You had it all
And you had it so young
You didn't care at all
Your mum's protector
Your brother's pal
And your father's helper
Where is he now?

I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I'm leaving to find heart and to find myself
I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I hope I get it back

I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I'm leaving to find heart and to find myself
I'm leaving to find peace and to find soul
I hope I get it back

Bottomless Reproach

The Search for Peace

Yeah this morning it was too wet
It was too wet
So I stayed inside
Stared at by family portraits
That feel so haunted
Cause I'd rather be here
Instead of with them
It doesn't help
It doesn't help that my dad was the same

I ran away
To be where I could be myself
To get away
From mistakes I made and people I hurt
But I'm done
With running from what makes me wrong

I've found belonging in my hometown
But when I go home now
Something just ain't right
Burnt bridges and drug buddies
Ain't it funny
HOw we live inside ourselves
It only takes one problem
If you make another
Pretty soon you'll be in a mess

To be where I could be myself
To get away
From mistakes I made and people I hurt
But I'm done
With running from what makes me wrong

Every song is singing to me
As if it knew me
And sang the perfect words
And every dreams feels like a past life
Say just last night
I was cowering from cobras
Is that all you've got
I'm not gonna stop
Cause it'll take much more than that

I ran away
To be where I could be myself
To get away
From mistakes I made and people I hurt
But I'm done
With running from what makes me wrong

I ran away
To be where I could be myself
To get away
From mistakes I made and people I hurt
But I'm done
With running from what makes me wrong

But I'm done
With running from what makes me wrong

Hometown Blues

Coming down in a storm
In a crowd all alone
Not in your own way
Not that you would care
Going through the motions 'til something feels right

Never pleased with anything
Yet never seeking within
You've got your own way
But it hurts you
Going through the motions 'til you get something right

Is there no better way to live a life
I know some say you've got to make it right
What am I to do with the evidence
That I've got to do what is is right by her
Going through the motions 'til I get it right

Walking with a smile
I know it's all worthwhile
Caught in the rain
But I love it here
I'm still going wrong but she's telling me why
Yeah she's telling my why
Yeah she's telling me why
Yeah she's telling me why

Your Own Way

This song came effortlessly. The music was at my fingertips, the words were seemingly already written—I was in the zone. This came out on my debut EP, Bottomless Reproach, which you can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/aidancox/sets/bottomless-reproach.

You threw me out of bed and I fell to the floor
With a thump that could be heard by the Ramseys next door
They don't come knockin' anymore I guess they figured
Things don't change on this side of the fence

We used to sit and watch the stars come out to play
From the roof of a grocery store chain
You used to tell me 'bout your dad's drinking and
How it seems that he's doing better now
These days I can't help think the only thing I know
About you is the mood that you're in
I know it's my fault cause every time I speak
I want to pour my guts all over you

But when's good
It's really good
That's how things are this side of the fence

It's been a year since we have dwelled in the same house
But I keep on putting the seat down
I've turned to music to express how I feel
And it works ways better than rolling joints
Some days you come to mind and I think what a fool
I had been to ever debase you
Your memory has a brilliance up its sleeve
Every day it's teaching me something new

When it was good
It was really good
That's how things were this side of the fence

This Side of the Fence

Last night we were talking about
The car crash that your brother had
You said that you don't want to take
Your life, life for granted
And you shouldn't
I'm just sad
It took a car crash

September's just around the bend
And you've started going out again
I've seen the wash clear from your eyes
And you seem ready to feel again
And you should be
I'm just sad
It took a car crash

In the north country wind
Far, far away
In the north country wind
Far, far away

It Took a Car Crash

A song I've worked on with the help of two close friends. Jake (pictured) is a talented songwriter and brilliant pianist and Fin is a hardworking songwriter and an intuitive guitarist. Enjoy, God bless.

Tie me up I'm 'bout ready to be quartered
This act was much more than the doctor ordered
Pluck out my eyelashes so dust gets in my eyes
You'll be the one to cut me down to size

In through the door and out through the window
My impression left on your warm pillow
I'll stay for tea but I've got to get along
Take my apologies in this old song

You will know my, you will know my, you will know my name
You will know my, you will know my, you will know my name

Secretary Bones would you pick up the phone
I've got a sucker on the other line
A womaniser and a two-timing liar
And how he brags about it, my my my

You will know my, you will know my, you will know my name
You will know my, you will know my, you will know my name
