Playing House

Intro to the album I’m working on.

lyrics:
you’ve been breaking hearts and barriers
since we were little kids
i told you that i’d marry ya
then i went and did

broken down car
shopping in zara
walk in the town hall 
everybody knows your name

i was getting higher
your were growing tired
i was getting growing pains

we drove out to the country
and you packed my guitar
told me “a boyfriend’s
never made it this far”

“play me some Noah Kahan”
just name the song.

Separate Story of Two

Drop Dead Divine

Lyrics:
let me spin you in your green dress
bride and the groom are jealous
how could we have as much fun as them?
it’s only their wedding

i helped you pick it out 
a month before
pack your bags
and lock our doors
it’s taken a lifetime to get here

snuck out through the back gate
behind the marquee tent
she was complaining about her back pain
and how she misses her friends
we really aught to get back babe
before the evening ends
i’ve got a speech to update
cause we’re the main event  
we’re gonna miss our wedding day

bridesmaids head to toe in blue
green ties to compliment your hue
i look your father dead in the eye
told him i want to marry you
now he’s crying now the aisle
doing what dads have to do

snuck out through the back gate
behind the marquee tent
she was complaining about her back pain
and how she misses her friends
we really aught to get back babe
i’ll be with the groomsmen
you’ll laugh with the bridesmaids 
my god you look stunning 
and you’re my main event  
i won’t miss our wedding day
i’ll live it over again
every single day
because you’re heaven sent

snuck out through the back gate
behind the marquee tent
she was complaining about her back pain
and how she misses her friends
we really aught to get back babe
before the evening ends
i’ve got a speech to update
cause we’re the main event

Miss Our Wedding Day

Our Love

Gift From God

what are the odds?

don’t care about your messy room
my eyes are stuck on you
tunnel vision
may cloud my judgement 
but all ten times i’d fall for you 

were one of the forgotten 
many, who i should’ve known
so we built up from the bottom
and found ourselves quite a view

with the mountains to our right
the pines the other side
i’ll wear down the tires
of this 4 wheel drive
how you found my aching heart
and stitched it from the pieces 
hung up on the wall
next to our old pictures 

only gets better with the time
humming billy joel 
the girl i know 
for once im
looking forwards
to the rest my life


with the mountains to our right
the pines the other side
i’ll wear down the tires
of this 4 wheel drive
how i found your aching heart
and stitched it from the pieces 
hung up on the wall
next to our old pictures 

i wonder where you hid your wings
and where’s that golden halo ring 
of yours

don’t care about your messy room
my eyes are zoomed on you
tunnel vision
may cloud my judgement 
but all ten times i’d fall for you 
but all ten times i’d fall for you

old pictures

lyrics:
said our goodbyes on the last train
said it’s alright if i’m home late
our lives will never be the same

scars on my face and my wrist
shark attack or playing with ghosts
she is gorgeous and
we laugh and have a joke

perfect minute
with your hair so pretty
we can swap tales if you’d like to sit me
plan a trip without reason
we can stay or go 
telling stories about the gold coast

perfect minute
with your hair so pretty
we can swap tales if you’d like to sit me
plan a trip with no reason
we can stay or go 
telling stories about the gold coast

Gold Coast

nearly vacant
your eyes are hardly waking
when the morning’s sun
is on the horizon
you answer right
with shortening timings
not most are bright
but god dam you’re shining

you want to go left
i’d turn left for you
argumentative 
little follow through 
said you would smoke less
hoping i don’t notice
when you sneak outside
for a quick cigarette 
breath in like your last breath

she says take your time
don’t rush your pace
i’ll be there for you anytime of the day
play your guitar 
don’t hesitate 
i’ll love whatever kinda music you make
a little take
a little give
spending my time with you is a gift
there’s something special
in the lyrics
we share in my dark bedroom at night

she says i don’t mind
not i don’t care
i care for every single part of you babe
step out the car
don’t hesitate 
i’ll love whatever kinda order you place
our candle light is the gear shift
won’t divide you and i 
from a quick kiss
there’s something special
in the cheap chips
we share in a bright car park at night

Cheap Chips

i’ve seen sunsets around the world
none as pretty as my sun-kissed, untanned girl

i call her mine
i don’t take it lightly
she’s finding new ways
that i can’t explain
to surprise me

it’s like she reads my mind
and i can’t read hers
but god she does look gorgeous
in an august skirt 

and i feel like you forget
that i can’t see in your head
like how you see through into mine

you asked if i could
now i wish i would’ve
just shut my mouth

yes, i’d read you like a chapter
of a tale about love
show true character, buy you flowers 
when you feel alone
although im right by your side
that’s what id do
if i could read your mind


i don’t know how
you always get it right
like when we went to HMV
and you got my gift for valentines
i didn’t even know you took that picture
i too frustrated about the future
but thankfully you knew how to fix that 

and i feel like you forget
that i can’t see in your head
like how you see through into mine

you asked if i could
now i wish i would’ve
just shut my mouth

yes i’d read you like a chapter
of a tale about love
show true character, buy you flowers 
when you feel alone
although im right by your side
that’s what id do
if i could read your mind

and i feel like you forget
that i can’t see in your head
like how you through into mine

you asked if i could
now i wish i would’ve
just shut my mouth

yes i’d read you like a chapter
of a tale about love
show true character, buy you flowers 
when you feel alone
although im right by your side
that’s what id do
if i could read your mind

like how you read mine

Read My Mind

Locked Me Out

lyrics:
i’ve been cooped inside
all day
i wish that i’d decided 
whenever id leave or stay 
if you were to be here
if you were to see
the truth behind
the masks i’m wearing

i’m not one to lie much 
but i’d lie next to you
i want to see the sunset 
on horizons, gold and blue
i need to be the one
you’re holding in your arms
i need to see the sunrise
in orange skies above

never want to leave her
never want to go 
but this cabin fever
is keeping me indoors
it’s just that yearly season
when i’m craving more
but this cabin fever
never want to leave her
i won’t go 

i took you shopping
i walked the dogs
i went out and about 
with you on my arm

i loved you daily
with my heart and soul
it was a painful break
when i had to let you go 

never want to leave her
never want to go 
but this cabin fever
is keeping me indoors
it’s just that yearly season
when i’m craving more
but this cabin fever
never want to leave her
i won’t go

Cabin Fever

Gorgeous freckles on her face
just for the summertime 
denim skirt and it’s riding high
super foods on her plate
and a stomach full of butterflies 
her green eyes are turning blue
they’re just like mine

glasses holding back her hair
keeping promises and
some extra pinky swears
placing petals behind an ear
knowing that our hearts can’t break
getting through the though times
it’s how true love was made
i prayed and then was saved 
by you 
saved by you 

sitting on a new fence
having a laugh
with our old friends
knowing bonds are made to last
a life sentence

if you don’t think 
then it might make sense
keeping our mind’s occupied 
with the endless suspense 
of being just too young

glasses holding back her hair
keeping promises and
some extra pinky swears
placing petals behind an ear
knowing that our hearts can’t break
getting through the though times
it’s how true love was made
i prayed and then was saved 
by you 
i was saved by you

saved by you, saved by you,
saved by you,
saved by you, saved by you,
saved by you,
by you

Gorgeous freckles on her face
just for the summertime 
denim skirt and it’s riding high
super foods on her plate
and a stomach full of butterflies 
full of butterflies 
just for the summertime

Her Freckles

so i’ll send you this song that i heard
there’s your name ringing out in every verse
i can relate and restate each word

i’ll take you down to the river
where us young swimmers 
would enjoy the summer
but you’ll go green going in there now


i want to love you till the sun goes down
keep me warm when the fire’s out
keep me going
keep me going on and on
want to love you till the moon’s in the sky
pull me away like the ocean’s tides
look in your eyes; the rest of my life

so i sent you this film that i watched
was only seven o clock 
but you were already in bed
so i’ll be alone with my thoughts
till the morning comes
and by that time i might be long gone

i want to love you till the sun goes down
keep me warm when the fire’s out
keep me going
keep me going on and on
want to love you till the moon’s in the sky
pull me away like the ocean’s tides
look in your eyes; the rest of my life

so i’ll send you this song that i heard
there’s your name ringing out in every verse
i can relate and restate each word

i want to love you till the sun goes down
keep me warm when the fire’s out
keep me going
keep me going on and on
want to love you till the moon’s in the sky
pull me away like the ocean’s tides
look in your eyes; the rest of my life

RestOfMyLife

Ball Room

i’ll remind myself
of the life i’ve built with you
with polaroids painting my room

to the concert we’re taking the tube 
another perfect night
in a dancing room

i’ve got a past i can’t rid of
i’m floating nowhere on this flooding river
i’ve got a past 
that you’d be ashamed to associate with

and my demons have caught me now
i’ll try to keep them from finding out 
love is the one thing i’m excited about
i know you’ve fought for me
even when we find it hard to agree
love is the one thing that hits me deep

my walls are breaking down 
and i’m being hunted through the town 
everywhere i look is a reminder of you
i miss your voice
and every single day
i wish i’d take your place
i’d put myself 6 feet in the ground

i’ve got a past i can’t rid of
i’m floating nowhere on this flooding river
i’ve got a past 
that you’d be ashamed to associate with

and my demons have caught me now
i’ll try to keep them from finding out 
love is the one thing i’m excited about
i know you’ve fought for me
even when we find it hard to agree
love is the one thing that hits me deep

love is the one thing i’m excited about…

Excited

if you were lying i would know
you’re lips would be moving 
if you’re trying to sew
what’s left of these ruins
then you should box me up 
and ship me off
with a return label on top
i guess you won’t admit
that we miss
an easy chance

and if i were to take the plunge
i’d be flattened by a truck
if i looked for a red light
there’d be a million i would find
but somehow i’d still love
to cross your mind 

and if you would like to go
get some nando’s and then a show
we can stay out until 12am
although i don’t like sleeping in
i guess it’s a vice i’ll give into 
for you

and if i were to take the plunge
i’d be flattened by a truck
if i looked for a red light
there’d be a million i would find
but somehow i’d still love
to cross your mind
