Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Daily walks and midnight talks
just the two of us, it was our routine
Went from that to going flat
Losing all our grass that was once green

Pre-Chorus:
Wish you would’ve just said it
But instead you just left it 
and assumed I’d figure it out
well when you removed me I had no doubt

Chorus:
Something don’t feel right
But I can’t save what’s already lost 
Secrets out of sight
as if our paths never crossed 
Never thought that you’d put me in danger
I watched my best friend turn into a stranger

I don’t know her

Verse 2:
Popped champagne to forget your name
Cut you outta here with a knife
Cried a bit but I got over it
Cause I’m better with you outta my life

Pre-chorus:
I don’t feel bad you got a downgrade
When you couldn't even rip off the bandaid
And talk to me like adults
Guess you were looking for other results
Well

Chorus

Bridge:
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Cause you’re not the person I used to know 
x3

Chorus

Candice Lee - Stranger

We are beyond excited to present the second volume of House Blends to our listeners and also showcase our beatmakers taking upon this uptempo vibe. The compilation is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of house music and the incredible pool of talent within the genre.

Our idea of House Blends stems from the vibes on the west coast in the 90’s without technology just being out with your friends cruising, night vibes, good food and spending time with people you vibe with. We would like to extend our gratitude to all the artists who contributed their remarkable works and to our listeners for the unwavering support.

After the success of Volume 1 on Apple Music, the bar has been set high for this follow-up release. Brace yourselves for a journey through the freshest house blends, featuring six incredibly talented artists I have the honor of presenting.

Lyrics
Summertime, you know the feeling
In the streets you can hear the hearts beating
Winter’s gone and the sun is low
Got your Teenage Kicks on the radio

It’s been a while, it’s been a minute
It’s been a year but my heart’s still in it
I remember when you blew my mind
But I just can’t tell if you’re on for the ride

I think we’ve got a connection
Or it’s all in my mind
‘Cause when the sun goes down I fantasise

I can’t help it, I’m thinking about you again
It ain’t healthy, but every summer’s the same
Don’t know where I stand and I’m losing my mind
Oh here we go again, what’s it gonna take to get you this time?

Butterflies on the Overground
In the park with a little crowd
I sip my drink gotta simmer down
‘Cause I can’t think straight when I know you’re around

There you are, it’s been a minute
Don’t look at me like your heart’s not in it
I see you sweat in the red hot sun
God I hope this summer’s gonna be the one

I can’t help it, I’m thinking about you again
It ain’t healthy, but every summer’s the same
Don’t know where I stand and I’m losing my mind
Oh here we go again, what’s it gonna take to get you this time?

I can’t help but beat myself up
And I want to but I can’t stop
Scared it’s all in my mind
Every spark in the fire
So I promise not to play pretend
‘Cause I’d really hate to call us friends
But I’m running out of time

It’s been a while, it’s been a minute
It’s been a year but my heart’s still in it
Blue movies running through my mind
I see your face and I fantasise

I can’t help it, I’m thinking about you again
It ain’t healthy, but every summer’s the same
Don’t know where I stand and I’m losing my mind
Oh here we go again, what’s it gonna take to get you this time?
Oh, what's it gonna take baby?
Oh, here we go again

What’s it gonna take to get you this time?

I Fantasise

A romance song about falling in love for the first time and being afraid about it ending, but you actually know it's gonna work out in the end.  It’s a bit mellow compared to my other recent songs and has a bit of country influence, ala a little Kasey Musgraves, which is new for me.

Shake

Like You

angel" is a song about grief and coming to terms with it. It's about wanting to believe that there is an afterlife, and that the people you lose in life will always be with you even if they are no longer physically of this world.

angel

A powerful, fed-up moment. The breaking point after giving too much.

You only call when it’s good for you,
Leave me empty when you’re through.
I kept giving till I bled,
You just took and left instead.

I swear I almost lost myself,
Trying to fix the way you felt.
Now I’m done being your cure
Can’t do this anymore.

You run me dry, every time,
Take my love and cross the line.
I break down, you don’t try,
Guess I’m better saying goodbye.

You show up when nights get cold,
Disappear when you feel bold.
I kept waiting for a sign,
But you were wasting all my time.

I swear I almost lost myself,
Trying to fix the way you felt.
Now I’m done being your cure 
Can’t do this anymore.

You run me dry, every time,
Take my love and cross the line.
I break down, you don’t try,
Guess I’m better saying goodbye.

If hurting me feels like home,
Then go ahead — just leave me alone.
I’m tired of asking why,
Tired of trying to try.

You run me dry, every time,
Take my love and cross the line.
I break down, you don’t try,
Guess I’m better saying goodbye.

Run me dry till I can’t breathe,
Took the best of what’s in me.
Now I’m done I won’t deny,
Losing you might save my life.
