Oh, city lights
Would you give me time 
to wipe my tears and my crime

I guess i'm too small
to let them stream down with pride
and I got nowhere to hide

If the shame and the sorrow
are the price to be paid
I’m a sinner for life
till I’m laid

But before you condemn me
Know that I’m just a man
Whose heart can’t be tamed
So are his dreams

Oh, city lights
You blind me sometimes
And tears fall without a clue

I don’t know anymore
if I'm really in pain
or I’m just lost in you again

Long Way Down (Cover) - Yunju Lee & Jihwan Kim

Lyrics:
Walking on the rooftops
Talking of time
With our eyes a glowing
Like the city lights
She stands on the ledge,
She says, 'it looks so high'
You know it's a
Long way down
Feels like a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now
'Cause I can feel the rivers
Winding through the lands
Two lines, and a poet
Like a kind old rye
You know we could talk in that language
Only we understand
But you know, honey
It's a long way down
You know it's a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Love it feels like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now

Long Way Down (Cover) - with Yunju Lee

Lyrics:
Drink up, baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do, you won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now and forget all about
The pressure of days, do what I say
And I'll make you okay and drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there, with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Between The Bars (Cover) - Jihwan Kim

I always said
I wanted to go to New York

I heard it’s paradise
A land of OZ

Streets so bright
like there’s no tomorrow

Starry starry night
it brings me sorrow

New York
New York
I’ve been waiting for so long

New York
New York
is where I belong

I heard it rains
diamonds in New York

And people only
eat sugar and honey, Greek yogurt

Smile on their face
it’s full of happiness

So badly I desire
maybe I’m on fire

New York
New York
I’ve been waiting for so long

New York
New York
is where I belong

Don't tell me
I'm just chasing the stars

And I can never reach them
anyhow

My mama said
I'm destined for the greater good

And I can make my dreams
come true

New York (Demo)

Recorded on my old, beat-up microphone a couple years ago, yet still one of my favourites.

Lyrics:
You’re off to chase your dream
in great land of America

And I’m stuck in this town
dreaming my whole life away

You tell me not to worry
say you’ll be back soon

You always got your ways
with the words that you can’t keep

I don’t want to fake it
Nothing’s forever
But shit, I didn’t know it would be
this hard

I don’t want to face 
this harsh reality
Can you feel me now?

You saidf
love is nothing
compared to what I wanna do

Your words mean nothing
cause I’ve been hurt so many times

Don’t let me down x2
Don't break me down x2

You seemed so indifferent
bout my words
an bout my pain

And I’m trapped in my mind
wondering what i did so wrong

You tell me all is good
that you are happy with your life

I never understood
your meaning of happiness

I don’t want to fake
I don’t think we’ll make it
I don't think we can make it alive tonight

You pull me down
You drag me down
You push me hard
Till I can't rewind x2

Love Is Nothing (Voice Memo)

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
You’re on a plane to JFK
my dear

It has been a hell of a ride for sure
for both of us

And I’ve got nothing left in me
but a fire that keeps me alive, keeps me going

Now that you’re gone
All my troubles seem so small

It feels like the pain 
was never there after all

(Pre-chorus)
Now the feeling is replaced
And I feel like a t rain-wreck
missing your body and the way you talk

I know I want you
But baby do you too?

(Chorus)
You’re on a plane to JFK
my dear

Everything will change 
for the both of us (and I’m afraid)

I’ve got a war in my mind
don’t know why

But baby, if you promise me
I’ll stay

(Verse 2)
Spare your tears for 
our last

This ain’t the end
We’re going back just for a while

(Pre-chorus)
Now the feeling is replaced
And I feel like a train-wreck
missing your body and the way you talk

I know I want you
But baby do you too?

(Chorus)
You’re on a plane to JFK
my dear

Everything will change 
for the both of us (and I’m afraid)

I’ve got a war in my mind
don’t know why

But baby, if you promise me
I’ll stay

(Bridge)
Cause baby 
My life is in your hands

You can make it or break 
my fate

You’re on a plane to
my heart, my soul, my home
Only you can save me

Souvenir (Cover by Herose)

Youth by Herose

(Verse 1)
I’m 27 years old now
Driving fast to the dead-end street
Still trying to figure out who I want to be

I see my families grow old
My friends work from nine to six
Oh my how, how time flies

(Pre-Chrous)
I keep asking myself
If I’m doing it right
Should I keep moving on and not giving up
If only the darkness inside me
Would stop telling me
That my, my, my

(Chorus)
That my youth is fading away
And I’m just holding onto my past
I’m too scared to let go of it all
So I keep holding on to my past
My youth

(Verse 2)
When I was only a child
I thought by now I’d be the man
greater than who I am now, living all my dreams

Well, I was bold and so reckless
I did whatever my heart would say
But now I can’t let my guard down, I gotta give my all.

So I keep asking myself
If I’ve wasted my youth
I got so much I regret to let go

If only darkness inside me
Would stop telling me
That my, my, my

(Bridge)
I’ve loved and I’ve cried
I’ve lost and I’ve tried
All these memories make me who I am

윤희에게

She Always Takes It Black (Cover)

I saw the pictures of my dad
When he was young, he was wild
He was just like me

I see him lying in his bed now
His hair turned grey
and it just makes me wanna cry

I took a picture of my mom
She said she's too old and looks so different now
I said you look just as beautiful
She smiled but I could see the sadness in her eyes

Oh, I know time goes fast
And there's nothing I can do
But I could write a song for you
And this is my love song
I love you

I wish my love would stay the same
But sometimes it just disappears when I need it most
And when it’s there, I take it for granted
Though I know once it’s gone, I lose it all for good

Oh, I know time can take you away
And there's nothing I can do
But I could write a song for you
And this is my love song
I love you

If I could see your life in a flashback
I swear it would look like a movie scene
I know it took awhile to realize
But I’ll love you like I’ve never loved before

Oh, I know time goes fast
And there's nothing I can do
But I could write a song for you
And this is my love song
I love you

Yeah, this is my love song
I love you
