If I Was

I'm on Fire

Best Days (Acoustic)

Tourism EP available now on Color Study: ffm.to/tourism



I was trying to find someone to love me
and then I did and she was dancing
across the room with the lights on her half-closed eyes

So then I took another drink and stumbled
across to her and said something ridiculous
like a man who’d refuse to shine

See I was looking for a still life
now it is stillborn
in the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm

I was trying to write a song so articulate
it could right my wrongs but I wrote it wrong
this is not it, it’s just a field day for a therapist
“and what did you dream?”
that I wrote a song
“and what did it mean?”
that I got it wrong, I don’t know
I don’t know

See I was looking for a still life
now it is stillborn
in the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm

Did I know it then? Did I cry out then?
by the blooming tree in Switzerland?
No I never really know
No I never really know
what I can do about it
If I lie down on the dirty ground
would the angels sing?

still life
now it is stillborn
in the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm

Still Life (feat. Joseph)

Stream Heroes / Dying: https://ffm.to/superheroes

All our heroes are dying 
And my friends are taking pills
The way I’m denying 
The way I love you still 
And I’m crying 
Kicking doors down to let you in 

My brother got married 
And my sister settled down 
And I find it scary the way I need you around 
You say you love me 
And that’s good enough for now 

And since you know me 
Tell me why I can’t let go 
Instead you hold me 
I’m caught inside your undertow 
And we play the game 
And we always played it well 
One hell of a story and it’s my favorite one to tell 

It’s six in the morning 
And you ask if it’s alright 
If you lay beside me
If it’s only for the night 
I’m awake and dreaming 
In the glow of the light 

And since you know me 
Tell me why I can’t let go 
Instead you hold me 
I’m caught inside your undertow 
And we play the game 
And we always played it well 
One hell of a story and it’s my favorite one to tell 

All our heroes are dying 
And my friends are taking pills 
The way I’m denying 
The way I love you still

Run For Cover (Mahogany Sessions)

Here are a few songs with Bec Schreurs (@rebeccagraceleane) that we covered and put together from our separate homes on different sides of the country whilst in lockdown due to COVID-19.

It was fun to put these together and continue making music even though we're not with each other physically!

Original song by Wild Rivers
