new song

Back In Time is about the feeling when you meet someone special, and wonder how life would've panned out if you'd met earlier.

Lyrics:
I might be slightly obsessed
i still show no signs of slowing down
If I'd met you a few years ago
I wonder how life would've been before

I might be slightly obsessed
i still won't let these words come out
If I'd met you a few years ago
I wonder how life would've been before

But I can go
back to the places when we were four
But I can go 
back to the places when we didn't know
that time didn't stay still and the earth wasn't round
And I can't go back in time.

You go to the hills for a month or two
but pack me in your plans like I would too
I've played it cool and it might be too soon
I wonder how life will be with you, fool. 

But I can go 
back to the places when we didn't know
that time didn't stay still and the earth wasn't round

But I can go
Back to the places when we are alone
We climb those trees
but my words are on the ground
And I can't go back in time.

Back in Time (Acoustic)

‘Better Than It All’ is about coming to terms with realities of being an artist in a big city.

Lyrics:
So much has been spoken about 
this world and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little has been done

This world of ours 
of diamond rings and fancy cars
on marble tops of hotel bars
we talk about war

This world of ours
dreams of big but empty paths
of missing lives and broken hearts
what are we here for?

Stop it please,
something light,
let's talk about sweet things
and who I took home last night

So much has been spoken about 
this love and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little can be done

This love of ours 
always ends before it starts
doesn't want to show its cards
we just want more

This love of ours
too afraid of newer scars
runs away when things get hard
let's build a wall

Stop it please,
no time to fight,
let's talk about the future and
how things between us aren't right

Lyrics:
Try as hard but you won't change my mind, for some time
I can wait in line I hope you won’t mind
I can see those eyes staring at mine, for some time
You can come to mine and have some wine

For some time but
you can bring me 
Down and guilty

Let me be with my two left feet 
and I will follow you to the beat
sway with me with my two left feet 
what happens next stays with you and me
But it might just be a dream

I can see those arms reaching for mine, for some time
I can hold you tight I hope you won't mind
I can buy the wine if you will be mine, for tonight
You've been here a while
undress to show me what you hide

For tonight but
you can bring me
down and dirty

Let me be with my two left feet
and I will follow you to the beat
sway with me with my two left feet
what happens next stays with you and me

Let me be with my two left feet
and I will dance with you to the beat
sway with me with my two left feet
what happens next stays with you and me
but it might just be a dream.

Lyrics: 
Your silence has been killing me
and I can't even breathe
your act never speak the language
that I can not read
I could say just what I feel
what a good thing that would be
It’s late enough and I’m alarmed
And I won’t be deceived

But I won't follow these words that are hollow
and now you've gone too far off late
so please come back to me

Your silence has been killing me
and I can't even breathe
your act never speak the language
that I can not read
I could hold you guilty but that just isn't me
It's hard enough that
writing this will open up the sea
of all the hope that we're meant to be

But I won't follow these words that are hollow
and now you've gone too far off late,
so please come back to me

I want you to feel what a big void you’ve left behind, 
you came and you wrecked things
and now i’m all alone and I can't breathe

and I won't follow these words that are hollow
and now you've gone too far off late
so please come back to me

Lyrics:
All I’ve done is chase things in the dark
for things that didn’t mean much
right from the start

what felt good, wasn’t always right
who cares now I’m just about to find

I’m not waiting for some phone call
I’m not staring at the wall
I’m not hoping for some miracle
I’m better than it all

The future has never looked so bright
opinions on the left and my right
waking up a tad bit late
but I’m not living a lie
I’m not living a lie

I used to walk crawl or run 
It all felt the same
for things that didn’t mean much
I could always take the blame

what felt good, wasn’t always right
who cares now I’m just about to find

I’m not waiting for some phone call
I’m not staring at the wall
I’m not hoping for some miracle
I’m better than it all

The future has never looked so bright
opinions on the left and my right
waking up a tad bit late
but I’m not living a lie
I’m not living a lie

I’m not waiting for some phone call
I’m not staring at the wall
I’m not hoping for some miracle
I’m better than it all

Lyrics:
I don't like her
she won't like me
but we've got a date

I don't like her
she won't like me
I bet she will be late

I still run run run and leave work early
so I can buy her flowers
don't be late is what I said but she didn't show up for hours
but I'll wait for sometime till I'm stood up and fried
bored out of my mind but I'll wait

I don't like her 
she won't like me 
but we've got a date

I don't like her
she won't like me
I bet she will get laid

Run run run you go far away
but I will hunt you down
don't be late is what I said but you didn't show up for hours
but I'll wait for sometime till i'm stood up and fried
bored out of my mind but I'll wait

I can show you the way
you can bring me to life again
I can show you the way but you can
run run run you go far away
but I will hunt you down
don't be late is what I said but you didn't show up for hours
but ill wait for sometime till i'm stood up and fried
bored out of my mind but ill wait.

Lyrics:
I have been told about the miracles of men
I wasn't told if they were happy and well
I have been told about development in these cities
I wasn't told about the slums and all the misery

I tell you, you tell me
The same old stories on repeat

I have been told about the king and all of his deeds
I wasn't told about the common folk and the weak
I have been told about the temples and the bridge at sea
I wasn't told about demolitions and the bigotry

I could show you how we're swayed to make believe
when the press is bought out and I can't breathe
I can see the bigotry

I tell you, you tell three
The same old stories on repeat

I have been told about religion and society
I wasn't told about centuries of brutality
I have been told about inventions and discoveries
I wasn't told about plants, birds and the trees

I could show you how we're swayed to make believe
when the press is bought out and I can't breathe
I can see the bigotry

The show is not what we're here to see
packaged smiles, whitened teeth
with promises and the fake pleas

So I tell you, you tell three
The same old stories don’t repeat

Lyrics:
She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

There's a song in my heart,
let me play it through
this is how I feel, I know it's possibly true
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up
and stars will wait for her to shine
cause she can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same

She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

Stepping out, I look around
hoping that she's safe and sound
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up 
to keep her by the glow of his light
cause she can roam around the moon and back
and I know she'll stay the same.

Lyrics:
I want you to know what's good and I'm always right
I want you to know what's bad so you can tow the line
You're a boy and I'm your father, I know what is right

I want you to clean your room and get to bed in time
I want you to stay away from women until the time is right
You're a boy and I'm your mother,  I’m always right

You nod your head and say yes,
You’ve made it to the rat race
You’ve lost face, your life is shit
You call yourself the best

You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You shake your head, your life is shit
You try and be the best

But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back

I want you to learn these chords and play them every night
I want you to sing these songs and copy every line
You're a noob and I'm the teacher, I’m always right

I want you to vote for me and all my sons in good time
I want you to pay your dues, what's yours will now be mine
I'm your god and I have the power, I will make things right

You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You’ve lost face, your life is shit
You call yourself the best

You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You shake your head, your life is shit
You try and be the best

But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back
