‘Longing for Summer’ lyrics
Andrew Kitchen © 2015

Rain ringing in my ears
Alarm clock now joining in
I already know what is to come

Face pressed against the glass
The train now driving me fast
To the last place that I want to go

The same old desk, the day begins
I blink and I’m back here again

But I’m longing for Summer
And escaping with you
All hail to the weekend
The sun is coming soon
The waves and the ocean’s sound
Our hearts and intertwined hands
I’m longing for Summer sun

Come on, and run away with me
This office is death of my knees 
Awaiting your answer to come

My boss doesn’t even know my name
I’m not-so-gradually going insane
I watch my inbox high and stacking up

The two greatest words I could read
Your answer simply says ‘I’m in'

But I’m longing for Summer
And escaping with you
All hail to the weekend
The sun is coming soon
The waves and the ocean’s sound
Our hearts and intertwined hands
I’m longing for Summer sun

Speeding down the highway with my love
To the white breaks over the reef
The over-whelming thought that over-runs

Is that with every mile that we drive
I feel we’re closer to alive

But I’m longing for Summer
And escaping with you
All hail to the weekend
The sun is coming soon
The waves and the ocean’s sound
Our hearts and intertwined hands
I’m longing for Summer sun

Longing For Summer

'That Guy' 
Andrew Kitchen (c) 2015

I don't want to be that guy
Still hanging on
I don't want to live a lie
Hoping for more
But what am I do to?
I'm in love with you

I got a head full of hopes and memories
Your face in my mind, just won't let me be
There's countless days, weeks and years to come

You say I'm like a brother, you can tell me anything
I don't know why I bother, but I keep on listening
The sound of your voice has me undone

You call to say hi
My pounding heart 
Is bursting from my chest
We laugh, we smile
I lie again and tell you I'm OK

Coz I don't want to be that guy
Still hanging on
I don't want to live a lie
Hoping for more
But what am I do to?
I'm in love with you

I brace for the moment
I see you in photos
Wrapped up tight in his two strong arms
I give you my blessing
Through tears and despairing
I force myself to play along

That Guy REFERENCE BOUNCE

Behind the Chaos
Andrew Kitchen (c)

There was you
Oh so quiet
Standy by
Right behind the chaos
Wondering how
All this fuss and whirlwind
Ever came about

My face and voice are known
And now the crowd all sing along
Bit I knew from the beginning
It's only you that knew my heart

I played guitar
There's no doubt
In my mind we'll be big starts
Your face 
In the crowd
Your voice a sound
That will never be drowned out

There will be time
For you and I to watch Seinfeld reruns
Quoting the lines
Stitching our lives together
To never come undone
