Leaving the city 
Return via station
Shocking the soul
as I seek emancipation 
Not enough romance
I’m done living in fear 
No goodbye kisses 
I’ll see you next year

I have loved you for 365 
I have loved you for 365
I have loved you for 365 nights

‘Cuz the envy in the city is so ugly
Wanna make it to the top of the club? 
(Good luck, honey)
I’ll introduce you to a friend of a friend 
If we’re in competition 
Damn right I wanna win 
‘Cuz I got nothing left to show for my sins

I have loved you for 365 
I have loved you for 365
I have loved you for 365 nights

A new day
Sitting inside of the cell I’ve been in all along
Without a light on
Stuck in a city that would not survive a great flood
It’s my duty to grow
So I don’t need to be here
I don’t need 
I don’t need
I don’t need to be here anymore

I think I’ll be me
I think I’ll be me 
I think I’ll be

I had fallen
Space sky earth time collide 
(365)
‘Cuz if you want to fly
Something’s gotta die 
(365)
So as I claw through the soil 
(365) 
And I taste the dirt
(365)
I retreat to the streets of Coventry  
The city of my birth 
(365)

I have loved you for 365 
I have loved you for 365
I have loved you for 365 nights 

SHAY:
It would be fair to say that the capital city got the best of me.

365 Nights (Acoustic Mix)

Before I was born 
I was pulled aside 
And told that this life 
Will make my heart ache 

“Your parents adore each other 
That love washes away 
In your formative years 
You’ll be the only remains” 

Hugs, kisses and thunderstorms
Close your eyes ‘till there’s no tears
In a world where money talks and water falls
This kid is wise beyond his years

By the time I left home
That warm sun succumbed to heavy rainfall
’Till I quit my job 
To record guitars

My friends all assured each other 
I threw my life away 
To those who ghosted my texts
Break your necks on my grave

Hugs, kisses and thunderstorms
Close your eyes ‘till there’s no tears
In a world where money talks and water falls
This kid is wise beyond his years

I think that voice that told me life will make my heart ache
Had cursed me before I was born
As if the choices I’d make were already made 
Like impulses I could not abort

And it said

“The futures as secure as the rocks that erode on the shore
And the truth comes back to haunt you
It’ll box you in on every side
As the party life loses it’s value
When the world’s locked in interesting times
Buddies will turn their back
Old lovers won’t want you back
And your parents will feel uninformed
That’s cuz they never paid attention before
In spite of all the shit you’ll put yourself through
Your spirit will never say die”

Hugs, kisses and thunderstorms
Close your eyes ‘till there’s no tears
In a world where money talks and water falls
This kid is wise beyond his years

SHAY:
I had been kicking these chords around for weeks; the lyric came when I was reading about childhood trauma. I had also just endured a friendship from hell that left my whole being out of whack. So the writing process for this track was very cathartic.

New original. Been sitting on this one a while. Did the whole project myself, hope you like it!

Maybe This Time from the film Cabaret. Tracey sings one of her favourite songs by her idol Liza Minnelli. My heart melts when I hear her sing this song, imagining she's singing it about me...
This is one of the tracks on the Welcome To Vegas CD available from the Welcome To Vegas shows.

Maybe This Time by TRaCeY as LiZa
