Corey Sharp-S&M Cover

You Then, Me Now is a collection of songs about family, estrangement, mental health struggles and finding yourself again.

Every time I show more love
Do you feel like giving up?
If we make space
Can we close this gap
'Cause it’s the first day
We’ve ever done that

Hold onto the rose round my neck
I always hold hope over what I expect 
A moment that’s always been stretched 
Ever since we met 

I want you to drive
Drive us home
Sing loud just follow the lights
Guide us home

Think of something
Count your breath
Give us nothing
Until we’re all that’s left

The days were golden
When they were all we had
The air it got colder babe
It takes me right back

To all of the time that we spent
Getting to know all the lives that we’ve lead
I hadn’t felt loneliness 
Ever since we met 

I want you to drive
Drive us home
Sing loud just follow the lights
Guide us home
I want you to pull up outside 
Even if it’s at midnight
I want you to drive
Drive us home

I want you to drive
Drive us home
Sing loud just follow the lights
Guide us home
I want you to pull up outside 
What’s a tryst without midnight?
I want you to drive
Drive us home

Drive Us Home

If we’re gonna crash
Is it better if it’s slower
So we see it coming
Or if it’s out of nowhere?
Hit the ground while we’re running 
You crumbled this morning
I crumbled the other day too

You must really love me 
for all of me
You don’t ever put yourself 
anywhere above me
I’m so grateful and proud
If you know then you know 
And I know right now 

If we’re sinking through clouds
Thinking that we could drown
know that we’ll both come out
Better babe

All we have to do is face each other
Make space for each other 
Give and take a little better
Learn to wait for each other
We’ve been sinking through clouds
But we didn’t drown

Those blue lights
We can feel in the night
Chose green eyes
Are you seeing it right
Breathe deeper once or twice
Keep breathing while you try

To tell me
How you’re hearing the truth
Don’t sell me
An old version of you
You tell me all the time
Breathe deeper once or twice

Love is like small towns on Sunday
It’s the slow down 
when you’re picking up the pace
And I know now 
figured out how
To change 
And that be ok

No one really knows me, 
like you know me  
You don’t ever try to make me better 
or control me 
They say it should be easy 
but I’ve found
You can hold all the gold 
if you dig at old ground

We’ve been up, we’ve been down
Both felt like we might drown
Told you we would come out
Better babe

We just learned to face each other
Make space for each other
Give and take a little better
Learned to wait for each other
Oh I know what we’ve found right now

Those blue lights
Seem to fade in the night
My green eyes
Finally seeing it right
Breathe deeper once or twice
You’ve never given bad advice
So now I’m trying to tell you

How I’m hearing the truth
Compelled to
‘Cause you’ll know what to do
You say it all the time
Breathe deeper once or twice

Lyrics:
Never rolling the dice
That's a life he's used to
Taken his time
Stayed behind
It's what he's used to
And they're getting high
The same old guys
Just like they used to
This might take some getting used to...

Heard you're living with friends, that's cool
An hour to work
Heard you're living in the ends, in the cheapest room
An hour return
Are you happier now
Then when she left town?
Starting again in the cheapest room
Are you happier now?

I'm genuinely asking, 'cause I wonder all the time
Aren't many things harder than to start a whole new life
I kinda did it once, I tried to do it twice
So, how you doing?
Oh it's been a while

I thought that I should call
I thought that I should call you
Oh jump in, jump in
I thought that I should call
Oh jump into the water

Heard you're living with friends, that's cool
(Couple friends from school)
An hour to work
Heard you're living in the ends, in the cheapest room
(That's cool)
An hour return
Are you happier now
Then when she left town?
Starting again in the cheapest room
Are you happier now?

Genuinely asking
Are you happier now
High with the same old guys?
Genuinely asking, 'cause I wonder all the time
Are you happier now?
I kinda did it once
I thought that I should call you
High with the same old guys

Are you happier now
High with the same old guys?
I thought that I should call you
Getting high, high with the same old guys, guys
Jump into the water
With the same old guys
I thought that I should call
Are you happier now?
Are you, are you, are you happier now?

Corey has been singing since he was a kid and writing songs since he could hold a guitar - with soulful, blues and acoustic influences.

He is currently studying full time at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, doing a vocal diploma, but has found time lately to hone his performance skills and try out new material busking in the City and playing gigs at venues such as The Brook, the Concorde Club, Junk and the Blue Keys in Southampton, The Boiler Room, Slug & Lettuce, Electric Light Theatre Guildford, Qudos in Salisbury and the Test Match Nottingham.

Corey plays guitar, piano and the uke and his unique singing style has recently been attracting the attention of influencers in the music business. Expect to hear much more of Corey Sharp in 2012
