Shelter

I Know is the first single on Micah & Julia’s second EP. - “This EP was written while the Netherlands was in lockdown for Covid19. This has been one of our most fragile times in life. I Know is about the realization that falling out of love can happen as fast as falling in love.” Micah & Julia are slated to play the May 5th Bevrijdingsfestival, to celebrate the liberation of the Netherlands after WW2 and the Bob Dylan Tribute.

https://ffm.to/party-dress

I’ve started singing out 
New York didn’t feel so loud 
This time, the autumn paints the sky 
Moved into an empty home 
To fill with the love I’m owed
This time, there’s roses in the road 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
I’m doing my best to love 
God know that I’ve tried to forgive 
But time has timing of its own 
So I put on a party dress 
To get over the words you said 
To keep me in chains I’ve learned to break 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
My head is willing to lie to me
Colours in my memory
Whenever I get lonely 
But now I’m childish like I should be
Colours that I now see
I’ll keep them close around me 
I’m childish like I should be

Lyrics:
I know you’re spending her time in the bed that we made
The one we spent hours of arguments down on the floor
She’s probably sleeping so well on the side where I laid
Thinking she got the man she was looking for

Did what i could with the things i could find
Bet she thinks you are so loving and kind
She doesn’t know that you’re my design

I hope she's loves the man I made of you
Hope it works out the way I wanted too
If I’m just a lesson you learnt
And If I’m the mistake that you hurt
I hope she's loves the man I made of you

I know she’s wearing your t-shirt that I really liked
While you confess all your love to her under the sheets
Hurts to think of it but that’s always were we would fight
Did I give my all for you just to leave?

I tried my best
Did what i could with the things i could find
Bet she thinks you are so loving and kind
She doesn’t know That you’

I hope she's loves the man I made of you
Hope it works out the way I wanted too
If I’m just a lesson you learnt
And If I’m the mistake that you hurt
I hope she's loves the man I made of you

BETTER DAYS (Lyrics)

Fields of lavender
Honey straight from the farm
That’s the smell and taste
Of summer
Bringing back memories
Skinny dipping
And campfires keeping us warm
Keeping me up
All night long

Blue notes pouring out of me lately
I know better days will come along
I’m alone
With the memories
Of better days
That are gone
And I wonder
Can take it all with a smile?

Fields of lavender
Heaven right in my arms
Good love will take you
Higher
I can’t run away
From the heartache and the pain
When yesterday calls
But I can love the right way
Everyday

Blue notes pouring out of me lately
I know better days will come along
I’m alone
With the memories
Of better days
That are gone
And I wonder
Can take it all with a smile?

Ow
Hit me
Better days come along
You know they come along with love

Blue notes pouring out of me lately
I know better days will come along
I’m alone
With the memories
Of better days
That are gone
And I wonder
Can take it all with a smile?

Better days come along
You know they come along with love

Better Days

📝 Lyrics:

I was found by the river of the damned
The waters rising, one more minute till I drowned
The hands that laid me, wrapped me tenderly in white
Fingers found me, reaching desperately for life

Where, where shall I go? 
Father, where, where shall I go?

I was raised in a foreign family
The things unknown were my soliloquy
To look beyond and see the things unseen
But when they heard, oh how they despised me

Where, where shall I go?
Father, where, where shall I go?

And I sung, oh I sung into your soul
Into things you didn’t know weren’t whole
When disappointment took your eyes
You left me on a rugged tree to die

Where, where shall I go?
Father, where, where shall I go?

I came back, 
I came running back
I came to take you home

Where, where shall I go?
Father, where, where shall I go?

Lyrics:

I never thought that you were listening
I thought you gave up from the start
But all the while you were in position
To hold me and protect my heart

And I know I’ve done you wrong
But I can’t do this alone

I don’t want to lose you now
We’ve only just begun
I don’t want to lose you now
I won’t be the one to run
I won’t be the one to run
I won’t be the one to run

This time I know it will be different
Cause I can see you in the light
I don’t understand what’s missing
But you're always show me what’s right

And I know I’ve done you wrong
But I can’t do this alone

I don’t want to lose you now
We’ve only just begun
I don’t want to lose you now
I won’t be the one to run

I’m turning inside out
Loosening my doubts
They’ve all but washed away
Forget the things I said
Forget the tears we’d shed
This time I can say that
I don’t want to lose you now
I don’t want to lose you now

I don’t want to lose you now
We’ve only just begun
I don’t want to lose you now
I won’t be the one to run
I won’t be the one to run 
I won’t be the one to run
