I'd travel round the world
just to see you girl
2 years I drove four hundred weary miles a day
just to see your face
I close my eyes and pray
we will be together
forever 'till the end

they say the end is near
they say the end is nigh
sometimes it makes me wonder why i even try

and i don't pretend to know
what time could bring tomorrow but i know
something could change it all

We walk into the deep
the land of vast and steep
we walk amongst the broken, the weary and asleep
this god forsaken place
we march without a trace
somehow we learn to muster
to find the strength again

and i don't pretend to know
what time could bring tomorrow but i know
something could change it all
something could change it all
something could change it all

Something Could Change It All

Trappist-1

Sunny Day with You

"Mountains" is a reflective folk ballad about distance, growth, and the quiet ache of missing someone you love. Written in the wake of personal upheaval, the song speaks to the bittersweet beauty of change. With gentle acoustic textures and honest lyrics, 'Mountains' is a letter left unsent, a moment frozen in the fog of what was and what could have been.

Mountains

a song about you

[Verse 1]
First met you on the courthouse steps
You had a ticket for a car that was borrowed
You said "Take me to the firemen's ball
They'll forget about it by tomorrow"

[Verse 2]
We danced and you introduced me as your husband
It was just a little white lie
But I loved it
You said
"Let's go make it a little more true"
And we took off in a hurry
We got hitched and got it over
While the wedding bells were still ringin' in my ears

[Chorus]
Tell me
Girl
What was wrong with me?
Was it my taste in music or the way I kissed you?
Or the hours and hours that I spent with you in bed?
Was it something that I said?
Was it the way I held your hand
When you introduced me as your husband?
Why a girl wanna leave such a smart and gentle man?

[Verse 3]
You brought me to your parents' house
You said
"Just play along for the weekend"
They had their questions and their doubts
But by the end
They were believing

[Verse 4]
We had fun
We put on a good show
I guess some people just get off on pretending
I could tell that your daddy didn't like me much
So I left
'cause it seemed like the right thing
It was just the one time
But I know how much it meant to you
And I hope I didn't mess it up too bad

[Chorus]
Tell me
Girl
What was wrong with me?
Was it my taste in music or the way I kissed you?
Or the hours and hours that I spent with you in bed?
Was it something that I said?
Was it the way I held your hand
When you introduced me as your husband?
Why a girl wanna leave such a smart and gentle man?

Why me ?  Lyrics in description

If We Saw The World Just Like You
Lyrics and melody by Jennifer Katusha

Verse 1
One day when it was raining
And I was busy complaining
‘Bout the gray and the clouds
and wet that was coming down
You said think of all that comes with it
Remember what is, not what isn’t 
Then you tilted your head like you do
Said, rain brings the flowers you love… and I love you

Chorus
You have a way of finding the gold
Bringing us doubters in from the cold
You make the ordinary… extraordinary
All the good we could… 
If we saw the world just like you


Verse 2 
When time comes collecting
And I start forgetting
The names and the faces
The people and places
I hope one thing I keep
Is all that you taught me
I’ll send the rest off with a smile
Knowing it was mine for a while

Chorus
You have a way of finding the gold
Bringing us doubters in from the cold
Making the ordinary...    extraordinary ...
All the good we could do...
If we saw the world just like you


Bridge
Ooooooooo
Oooooooooo
Ooooooooo
Oooooooooo


Chorus
You have a way of finding the gold
Bringing us doubters in from the cold
Making the ordinary...    extraordinary ...
All the good we could do...
If we saw the world just like you


Outro
If we saw the world just like you
