LYRICS

Another round of Halo: Reach
Another double team to beat
Smoking weed to fall asleep
So lonesome and alone

Seven years ago from now
You crashed into my life somehow
I just want to let you know
I love what we’ve become

Don’t worry about ego shooter games
Love’s a battlefield, a crossfire or a quake

Cause you see me through
And you get me high
Just like lovers do
Just like addicts try
And I wonder who you are
Wonder where you came from 
And I still wonder who I am
And wonder where it leads to and since then 

Don’t worry about all the things to come
It’s easy to keep calm and carry on and on

Halo: Reach

Frederik Cornelius's new album "One Man Show" features a beautiful acoustic ballad titled "Ivory". With soft vocals and gentle percussion, this soothing track is played solely by Frederik on his guitar.

The lyrics of "Ivory" speak of a longing for connection and a desire to bridge the gap between two people who may feel worlds apart. Frederik's heartfelt vocals convey a sense of vulnerability and sincerity as he sings, "Please don’t take half as bad, this feeling we have never had, let’s get back and try once again."

The song's chorus echoes this sentiment, as Frederik implores his subject to "come with me, Ivory" and to see the potential for a beautiful connection between them. Despite the darkness that may appear in the world, Frederik believes in the power of love and the importance of taking a chance on a relationship that may seem difficult or unlikely.

"Ivory" is a tender and honest ballad that showcases Frederik Cornelius's skills as a songwriter and musician. Its delicate instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics make it a standout track on "One Man Show", and a must-listen for fans of acoustic ballads and heartfelt lyrics.

Lyrics:
Won’t you come with me
Ivory
Cos I want you to see
You and me

And I know that this world is strange
It feels like we ain’t got a chance
And darkness may appear too many times
Now I’m asking you to try
To think about you and I
Cos we shouldn’t be apart

Open up to me
Ivory
Let’s sail out on the sea
You and me

Please don’t take half as bad
This feeling we have never had
Let’s get back and try once again
Now I’m asking you to try 
To think about you and I
Cos we shouldn’t be apart

Won’t you come with me
Ivory
You and me

Won’t you come with me
Ivory
Cos I want you to see
You and me
