There was a blue sky 
Over my old town
And we saw planes fly 
Never coming down
Tried to rearrange life 
When all we had was gone
But then there came the day when
Our thoughts had grown

The day we left our home 
I felt it on my skin and in my bones
A part of me was shaken to the core
My friend she kept on waving from the door

They held my uncle a prisoner 
For saying what he thought
Cause he saw what this new system
Did to what he loved
We had our motherland so strong
Drowning in the dark
And the so called president
I wished he would choke on his blood

The day we left our home 
I felt it on my skin and in my bones
A part of me was shaken to the core
My friend she kept on waving from the door

I saw some military man 
In the dining room chair 
Writing down a list 
Of everything we had 
So if we tried to take something 
With us as we go 
We should never leave this place 
For they would know 

The day we left our home 
I felt it on my skin and in my bones
A part of me was shaken to the core
My friend she kept on waving from the door

The day we left our home 
I felt it on my skin and in my bones
A part of me was shaken to the core
My friend she kept on waving from the door

The day we left our home

Seagazing

The Day We Left Home

Lyrics:

I‘ll be up and driving down to your door
In the minute that you say you wanna go
Now and then it’s time to let the old ways die
So we raise our glass, alright

Come find me
By the sea
Come find me

In the fading light 
I picture you with me
Losing sense of time
Staring at the sea
Counting down from three
Then would you jump with me
Lately when I‘m asleep I wish 
I could believe these things I dream
Oh I’m craving you and the sea 

We’ve been walking on the wire for too long
Trying to keep it on the low but we might fall
Every time you turn and go I wonder why
But then you come back, alright

Come find me
By the sea
Come find me

In the fading light 
I picture you with me
Losing sense of time
Staring at the sea
Counting down from three
Then would you jump with me
Lately when I‘m asleep I wish 
I could believe these things I dream
Oh I’m craving you and the sea

You & The Sea

Lyrics:

Fog clears up over the river so rough
I couldn’t foresee this coming at me
I‘ve drowned in you up to the point I drew
The air from the water so I could stay down

Don’t you break this heavenly bond
And don’t you throw away what I found

Cause all of the longing gets too much
Thinking of every moment we touched
Surrounded by water
That made us stay around
Chasing down
Still afternoons  

Sadness still lingers in everything
I chose not to care, it will always be there
So let me lift these covers from you to see
Your whole inner self and drag you out of hell

Don’t you break this heavenly bond
And don’t you throw away what I found

Cause all of the longing gets too much
Thinking of every moment we touched
Surrounded by water
That made us stay around
Chasing down
Still afternoons  

Cause all of the longing gets too much
Thinking of every moment we touched
Surrounded by water
That made us stay around
Chasing down

Still Afternoons

I met her when she was with her band
Playing a show in an old café
She put her heart in the words she sang
And she never cared what other people say

Whenever we talked I felt a sizzle in the air
She said the time we got is little, but I didn’t care

Cause I’ve been losing my mind
Over you for quite some time
And I can’t let go of you 
You even haunt my dreams, you do

Oh-oh-oh I’ve been losing my mind over you
Oh-oh-oh I’ve been losing my mind over you

When she touched me with the softest skin
I thought I died from the adrenaline
I said you defy the laws of physics 
She said I like it when you’re with me

Could it be that she keeps me hanging on
Someday I‘ll know why she keeps me 
Waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting

I’ve been losing my mind
Over you for quite some time
And I can’t let go of you 
You even haunt my dreams, you do
 
Oh-oh-oh I’ve been losing my mind over you
Oh-oh-oh I’ve been losing my mind over you

Oh I’ve been craving, craving you so bad
And you’ve been making, making me sad

Oh I’ve been craving you so bad I can’t get over you
So baby if you go your own way I might just follow you

Oh-oh-oh I’ve been losing my mind over you
Oh-oh-oh I’ve been losing my mind over you

Losing My Mind

Lyrics:

You look so tired
It’s been going on for days and weeks
When the rainstorm came
This home was so bittersweet
All this time here
Has left a mark on me
I promise to let you know 
When this feeling tears on me

Whenever you call
Whenever you sigh 
I‘ll be here, you know it
Where you put your power
There’ll be growing flowers
From the desert floor

I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go

Did you never read the signs 
That say the other side is lonely
Sometimes it all seems like a song
And I’m praying you will sing it for me

Whenever you call
Whenever you sigh  
I‘ll be here, you know it
Where you put your power
There’ll be growing flowers
From the desert floor

I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you

Cause even when the high turns low
Even when the leaves, they won’t grow
Don’t you know
Even when the rain comes down
Nurturing the fields of doubt 
Don’t you know

I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you

I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go 
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you

I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go
I ain’t gonna let you go

Let You Go

Lyrics:

Can‘t take my mind off the sun and the ocean
I’m so done working in the cold and grey
You said you’re longing for a life in slow motion 
But nothing pretty ever comes your way 

Now we‘ve come this far 
Let‘s just live as we
As we are

Slow down 
We‘ve been running so long 
I think it’s time 
We get to calm down and let go
Slow down
Nothing‘s gonna go wrong 
Promise me we‘re gonna be 
Each other’s home

All you gotta do is let go your sorrow
I‘m trying all I can to make it work
With every passing year it seems to get harder
But I‘m not giving up on finding some peace

We can still make time
Let‘s just leave tonight
Let’s leave tonight

Slow down 
We‘ve been running so long 
I think it’s time 
We get to calm down and let go
Slow down
Nothing‘s gonna go wrong 
Promise me we‘re gonna be 
Each other’s home

Slow down 
We‘ve been running so long

Slow Down

Lyrics:

I never grow tired
Of the sea and the sky 
My heart it feels lighter 
With the waves rushing by
You‘re a bit like the weather
You can make me feel free
But the sorrow can hurt me 
When you rain on me

You get attached to the water
And the wind on your skin
All the weight that you carry
Let it sink right in
You get attached to the water
And the sound of the sea
Every minute is worth it 
Let the sky fall down on me
Let the sky fall down on me

I need to see the waves breaking 
When they crash on the shore
When they’re leaving you breathless
I think they’re mending your soul
Do you ever get lonely 
When you look in my eyes
I hope everything’s better
With the rain passing by

You get attached to the water
And the wind on your skin
All the weight that you carry
Let it sink right in
You get attached to the water
And the sound of the sea
Every minute is worth it 
Let the sky fall down on me, yeah
Let the sky fall down on me

Asturias

Lyrics:

I was living upside down
Trying to turn the world around
So I could finally see what everyone means
I should’ve gotten on my feet
But how I like to disagree
And you could tell I needed just one thing

Yeah you 
Came down in a hurry 
I could see you wake next to me
You 
Can see I‘m worried
It’s your bright eyes I‘m falling for 
(You)

My shelter up the silver road 
Was covered in a cloud, I know
And every time I tried to hide I couldn’t go
I had it heavy on my back
Was burning every ounce I stacked
But this is now and I am trying to learn 

Yeah you 
Came down in a hurry 
I could see you wake next to me
You 
Can see I‘m worried
It’s your bright eyes I‘m falling for 
(You)

You can see I‘m worried
It’s your bright eyes I‘m falling for

Bright Eyes

Lyrics:

Turn your weary body to the wind
Breathe in and never stop feeling everything
We’ve been roaming around with nobody near
Still I can feel your sorrow right next to me 
 
Oh stand up and let your body move with the wind
These mountains and valleys don’t care if we lose or win
Darlin just let your body move with the wind
Things we can’t change don’t mean we shouldn’t put our faith in

You ain’t been seeing things with a hopeful mind
And I know this sadness ain’t easy to leave behind
Well I think you know by now I‘m not giving in 
So dry your eyes and I‘ll do my best to shine a light in

Oh stand up and let your body move with the wind
These mountains and valleys don’t care if we lose or win
Darlin just let your body move with the wind
Things we can’t change don’t mean we shouldn’t put our faith in

Oh stand up and let your body move with the wind
These mountains and valleys don’t care if we lose or win, yeah
Darlin just let your body move with the wind
Things we can’t change don’t mean we shouldn’t put our faith in

Oh things we can’t change don’t mean we shouldn’t put our faith in

With The Wind

Lyrics:

This house been burning
Ever since I met you
We can’t be certain
We got a whole lot to lose

Will you help me walk
When I reach for the finish line
If it was up to me
We’d run till the day we die

Are you still mine
At the break of light
With your soul on fire
Will you come inside
Are you still mine
When the dawn is closer
And the day gets older
Will you think it over

Are you still mine
Are you still mine 

I can see you longing
For another bit of that night
You can feel it coming back
We just need more time 

Will you help me walk
When I reach for the finish line
If it was up to me
We’d run till the day we die

Are you still mine
At the break of light
With your soul on fire
Will you come inside
Are you still mine
When the dawn is closer
And the day gets older
Will you think it over

Are you still mine
Are you still mine 

Are you still mine
At the break of light
With your soul on fire
Will you come inside
Are you still mine
When the dawn is closer
And the day gets older
Will you think it over

Are you still mine

Still

Lyrics: 

I‘m driving east, I’m driving south
So I forget where I‘m going now
My head‘s tied up
I feel it come, then feel it go
Should I be there with you right now

I just can’t let go
What I‘ve had so long
I’m just overdue to break

My head‘s tied up
There‘s no more love
My thoughts get rough
I‘m trying to shake ’em off
But I‘m cold in here
I might disappear 
Are you still my love
My head’s tied up

I’m walking slow, breathing fast
Trying hard to do nothing rash
My head‘s tied up
You’re slipping in and out my mind
Should we leave this mess behind

I just can’t let go
What I‘ve had so long
I’m just overdue to break

My head‘s tied up
There‘s no more love
My thoughts get rough
I‘m trying to shake ’em off
But I‘m cold in here
I might disappear 
Are you still my love
My head’s tied up

My head‘s tied up 

My head‘s tied up
There‘s no more love
My thoughts get rough
I‘m trying to shake ’em off
But I‘m cold in here
I might disappear 
Are you still my love
My head’s tied up

Head Tied Up

Lyrics:

I keep running like I never needed sleeping
All because you said you needed me to keep up
Is it worth it
Is it worth it

My friends said come and watch, the sundown is on fire
Wish I could go but I’m still dancing on this wire
Is it worth it
To do this for you 

I‘m counting on one, two, three, one, two
It could be one, two, three and you’re gone

I‘ve been running so far
Now it don’t feel right 
Anymore 
I miss California 
The way it was 
Before us

I miss California, oh yeah, oh yeah 
I miss California, oh yeah, oh yeah

I keep thinking 'bout our trips out on the weekend
And the way you let your body do the speaking
Was it worth it
To play these games 

I‘m counting on one, two, three, one, two
It could be one, two, three and you’re gone

I‘ve been running so far
Now it don’t feel right 
Anymore 
I miss California 
The way it was 
Before us

I miss California, oh yeah, oh yeah 
I miss California, oh yeah, oh yeah

California

Lyrics:

The bird outside my window
Is flying low
Between the city canyons
The sun turns cold 
I won’t revive the pictures
I took with you
I’m putting them in boxes
To keep for good

Hoo, ooh, ooh

It’s a new day‘s dawn
With the lines all drawn
Feeling better
Heading on into the weather
It’s a new day‘s dawn 
Rain is up and gone
Take off my sweater
I might lay here forever  
Till I’m gone
 
The times I’m liking better
And times I miss
They’re all in me together
On days like this
I may have found a new thing
That just appeared
The room ain’t feeling empty
When it’s just me here

Hoo, ooh, ooh

It’s a new day‘s dawn
With the lines all drawn
Feeling better
Heading on into the weather
It’s a new day‘s dawn 
Rain is up and gone
Take off my sweater
I might lay here forever 
Till I’m gone
Till I’m gone

Dawn

David Nevory - Dawn

Hey guys, this is my new single. The lyrics are inspired by the video game "The Last Of Us" and the character's constant need to move on through a messed up and dangerous world. Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

I‘ve been lost here 
’neath the broken lights
the cold of the colors 
burned in my eyes
I still see it sometimes

I‘ve been calling 
out for your name
no one could hear
so quiet in the mist 
of this aching fear

when you leave to come clean 
let go all of the things that you bring 
cause they bind memories 
that will keep you from traveling free

lay it all down
lay it all down 
when you go love 
lay it all down
lay it all down 
when you go love

green eyed angel
walking in my sight
drag me up high
bird on the rise
with a wound inside

when you leave to come clean 
let go all of the things that you bring 
cause they bind memories 
that will keep you from traveling free

lay it all down
lay it all down 
when you go love 
lay it all down
lay it all down 
when you go love

cause we’re going uphill from here 
yeah we’re going uphill from here 
oh we’re going uphill from here 
yeah we’re going uphill from here

lay it all down
lay it all down 
when you go love 
(lay it all down)
[8x]

lay it all down
lay it all down 
when you go love

Lay It All Down

Hey guys, another new one here! This song is about being the best version of yourself for your partner and about the struggle to get to that point. It's part of my album "Seagazing".

Lyrics:

I was living upside down
trying to turn the world around
so I could finally see what everyone means
I should’ve gotten on my feet
but how I like to disagree
and you could tell I needed just one thing

yeah you came down in a hurry 
I could see you wake next to me
you can see I‘m worried
it’s your bright eyes I‘m falling for 
(you)

my shelter up the silver road 
was covered in a cloud I know
and every time I tried to hide
I couldn’t go
I had it heavy on my back
was burning every ounce I stacked
but this is now and I am trying to learn 

yeah you came down in a hurry 
I could see you wake next to me
you can see I‘m worried
it’s your bright eyes I‘m falling for 
(you)

you can see I‘m worried
it’s your bright eyes I‘m falling for
