Simple Things - lyrics

Late nights, long drives
your hand in mine
I wish I could slow time
So I take a picture in my mind
To remember the simple things in life

Cause we can get caught up in bad days
I won't let this moment slip away
Oh I,
Oh I,
I'll lead you to the light
in your darkest times
if you feel you are sinking like a stone
I'll remind you on the way home
Simple things in life matter most
The simple things in life matter most

Conversations over coffee
The way you smile at me
And I take a picture in my mind 
To remember the simple things in life

Cause we can get caught up in bad days
I won't let this moment slip away
Oh I,
Oh I,
I'll lead you to the light
in your darkest times
if you feel you are sinking like a stone
I'll remind you on the way home
Simple things in life matter most
The simple things in life matter most

Cause we can get caught up in bad days
I won't let this moment slip away
Oh I,
Oh I,
I'll lead you to the light
in your darkest times
if you feel you are sinking like a stone
I'll remind you on the way home
Simple things in life matter most
The simple things in life matter most
It's the simple things in life that matter most

Simple Things

Matter Of Time

 Do you hear the ticking on the clock
 it's only a matter of time
 soon enough I know you'll realize
 half of your hearts missing mine

I didn't want to say goodbye

 I let you go, set you free
 cause I believe you'll come back to me
 you'll come back, you'll come back, to me
 only a matter of time and you'll see
 with my hearts where you're meant to be

 I tell myself for my own peace of my mind
 what's for me, won't pass by
 on the other hand, if days turn to years
 I'll be waiting right here

I didn't want to say goodbye

 I let you go, set you free
 cause I believe you'll come back to me
 you'll come back, you'll come back, to me
 only a matter of time and you'll see
 with my hearts where you're meant to be

 I let you go, set you free
 cause I believe you'll come back to me
 I let you go, set you free
 cause I believe, ooh
 you'll come back, you'll come back, to me
 only a matter of time and you'll see
 I let you go, set you free

Matter Of Time

Somewhere

 Everything I ever wanted to say
 I wrote it in a notebook and tucked it away
 I let the time pass by
 When I've fallen to the ground
 you're always there, always around
 making me feel safe and sound

When I'm lost and had a bad day, near or far away

 I'll meet you somewhere out there
 somewhere out there, somewhere out there we'll be
 I'll meet you somewhere out there
 somewhere out there, until you're here with me
 somewhere out there we'll be

 Take me back to a year today
 and I'll tell you all the things I never did say
 I hold on to regret
 Maybe now timings right
 Isn't that the funny thing about life
 I guess we'll have to wait and see

When I'm lost and had a bad day, near or far away

 I'll meet you somewhere out there
 somewhere out there, somewhere out there we'll be
 I'll meet you somewhere out there
 somewhere out there, until you're here with me
 somewhere out there we'll be -- oh
 Ohh --

 Everything I ever wanted to say
 I wrote it in a notebook and tucked it away
 and now the time feels right

 I'll meet you somewhere out there
 somewhere out there, somewhere out there we'll be
 I'll meet you somewhere out there
 somewhere out there, until you're here with me
 somewhere out there we'll be
 soon you'll be here with me

Somewhere

Carry You

 There's a chill in the air,
 a heaviness
 in my heart, that I wear
 the ache inside I can't bear

 Not a day, goes by
 where you're not on my mind
 every moment with you I find

 I'll carry you in stories
 while wishing you were here with me
 Cherished memories, I'll hold closely
 I'm not ready to, say goodbye
 and I don't think I ever will be
 So I'll always carry you with me

 Mid December will always be
 colder than ever
 no words can heal
 a pain that doesn't feel real

 Not a day, goes by
 where you're not on my mind
 every moment with you I find
 I'll carry you in stories
 while wishing you were here with me
 Cherished memories, I'll hold closely
 I'm not ready to, say goodbye
 and I don't think I ever will be
 So I'll always carry you with me

I'm not ready to, say goodbye
and I don't think I ever will be
 I'll carry you in stories
 while wishing you were here with me
 Cherished memories, I'll hold closely
 I'm not ready to, say goodbye
 and I don't think I ever will be
 So I'll always carry you with me

Carry You

I Hope It's You

I don’t know where you are tonight You’re heavy on my mind  Somethings just not right 
I can feel you, even after all this time   

Yes, I’ve said some things I didn’t mean 
I broke you, hurt you & I did the same to me 
I wish I could go back, rewrite the past 
 
I don’t know why things happen the way they do  I wish I knew 
And I think about years and years down the line  If you’re not with me, 
Who will it be, who, who will it be? 
Who will, who will it be? 
Ohh, ohh 
And to tell you the truth, I hope its you 
 
Memories play like a movie
In my mind on repeat 
 
Yes, I’ve said some things I didn’t mean 
I broke you, hurt you & I did the same to me 
I wish I could go back, rewrite the past 
 
I don’t know why things happen the way they do  I wish I knew 
And I think about years and years down the line  If you’re not with me, 
Who will it be, who, who will it be? 
Who will, who will it be? 
Ohh, ohh 
And to tell you the truth 
I hope it’s, you 
I hope it’s, you 
 
I don’t know why things happen the way they do  I wish I knew 
And I think about years and years down the line  If you’re not with me, 
Who will it be, who, who will it be? 
Who will, who will it be? 
Ohh, ohh 
I don’t know why things happen the way they do

I Hope It's You

Christmas with You

Candlelights in windowsills
snow is falling, the night is still
presents sit beneath the tree
the best gift is when you're with me

Will you hurry home please?

I don't want much this christmas,
your loves at the top of my wishlist
need you close and your mistletoe kisses
you're all I need, hurry home please
christmas with you is the sweetest thing

Stockings hung on the fireplace
watching for Santa's sleigh
how much longer will it be?
'til you wrap your arms around me

Will you hurry home please?

I don't want much this christmas,
your loves at the top of my wishlist
need you close and your mistletoe kisses
you're all I need, hurry home please
christmas with you is the sweetest thing
ooh, ooh

I don't want much this christmas,
your loves at the top of my wishlist
need you close and your mistletoe kisses
you're all I need, hurry home please
will you hurry home please?
christmas with you is the sweetest thing

Christmas With You

Lyrics:
Hey, how are you
how've you been
time has passed
and I haven't seen you since
the day you decided to up and leave
was left wondering why you'd do that to me

It took some time to find the reason why
we were meant to say goodbye

He is kind and he treats me right
opens every door for me
would never think to close it suddenly
I never thought I'd say this
call me crazy to admit it
thank you for breaking my heart
you lead me right into his arms

Who knew
falling out of love with you
would be the best thing
I'd ever do
Patience is key and I've come to find
our hearts unlock over time

He is kind and he treats me right
opens every door for me
would never think to close it suddenly
I never thought I'd say this
call me crazy to admit it
thank you for breaking my heart
you lead me right into his arms

Who knew
falling out of love with you
would be the best thing
I'd ever do

Thank You for Breaking My Heart

This Too Shall Pass - lyrics

Verse:
I’ve made amends with old friends
Had my heart broken by the one
Packed my bags and I moved cities
Never felt so alone

Chorus:
Ohh, ooh it is what it is
I was never meant to be his
Ohh, ooh 
Raise your glass
This too shall pass
Ohh, this too shall pass

Verse:
I kissed lips that spoke lies
Met grief eye to eye
Cried to the ones who cared
When silence was too much to bare

Chorus:
Ohh, ooh it is what it is
I was never meant to be his
Ohh, ooh 
Raise your glass
This too shall pass
Ohh, this too shall pass

Bridge:
Tears fall from fears, hiding alone
(I don't belong here)
These stepping stones into the unknown
Running away when I should've stayed
(I don't belong here)

Chorus:
Ohh, ooh it is what it is
I was never meant to be his
Ohh, ooh 
Raise your glass
This too shall pass
Ohh, this too shall pass

Lullaby Lyrics:

Days are hard,
Nights are long,
Vulnerable is what we are

Breathe deep,
Breathe slow,
I am here, won't let go

Alone you will never be,
Listen closely, listen closely

I'll sing you a sweet lullaby,
Just please, please don't cry
Oh I'll sing you a sweet lullaby
And everything will be alright
And when you're lost and empty inside,
Listen to,
Our Lullaby
Our Lullaby

Safe and sound,
I'll walk with you,
I'll guide you through the darkness too

Alone you will never be,
Listen closely, listen closely

I'll sing you a sweet lullaby,
Just please, please don't cry
Oh I'll sing you a sweet lullaby
And everything will be alright
Oh I'll sing you a sweet lullaby
Just please, please don't cry
Oh I'll sing you a sweet lullaby,
And everything will be alright
And when you're lost and empty inside,
Listen to,
Our Lullaby
Our Lullaby

By Your Side Lyrics

Reaching for you
So far away
Do you feel me
By your side

Holding my breath
As I stride
To where I belong
By your side

There's a place in my heart that sleeps alone
and a sadness inside that I wear
There's no feelings like those I feel with you
I swear I have never wanted
Like I want you

Taking your hand
I close my eyes
Knowing where I belong
Is by your side

There's a place in my heart,
That I fear,
and an emptiness inside that I wear
To be standing alone, without you
I swear, I have never loved
Like I love you

Taking your hand
I close my eyes
Knowing where I belong
Is by your side

And I'm holding you close
Through the night
Where I was meant to be
By your side
By your side
