Recorded and entirely self-produced at Andy's house in the space of two days back in September 2011. Originally released on 21st September 2011. Remastered and rereleased on 14th May 2013.

Verse 1: 
A photograph right by my bed, 
Scattered memories of what you'd said. 
Smashed glass embedded in the wall, 
I watched my step but I tripped and fell. 

Remembering every haunting word, 
Every time I do, it seems so absurd; 
Please tell me I had just misheard. 

Pre-chorus: 
I just wanted to believe, 
That you still saw the life in me. 
What did you think this would achieve? 
I wish I was never so naïve. 

Now I'm trying to retrieve 
All that you took away from me. 
How many more will you deceive? 

Chorus: 
This time next year, 
I'll be on my feet again. 
This time next year, 
You'll have someone in your grasp again. 
It doesn't matter where I've been, 
I'll have somewhere new to begin. 
Yeah, this time next year, 
I'll have forgotten your name. 

Verse 2: 
I tried to make some sense of this mess… 
Maybe I had said something careless. 
All the times I tried to repossess, 
Turns out you had something to confess. 

Perhaps I knew this was a sham; 
You never gave a thought for who I am. 
It’s not like you even give a damn! 

Pre-chorus 

Chorus x 2 
Yeah!

This Time Next Year

This track was written over the space of about a year and a half and is about the death of Andy's grandfathers who both died a few months apart. Despite the sombre theme, the song progresses towards the idea of moving on with life and onto the next chapter, written around an energetic, hooky pop-rock song that'll get you singing along in no time...

Originally released 21st April 2013. Remastered and rereleased on 14th May 2013.

------------------------------------------ 

Verse 1: 
You made us smile all the time, 
For years, it was the best, 
Yeah everything was fine, 
As a kid, I would never have guessed… 

That behind the smiles and laughter, 
And every single blood-test, 
There was no “happily-ever-after”, 
‘Cause now you are at rest… 

I still remember that day, 
When your light began to fade, 
With no packed bags, no messages, 
My heart began to fray. 

A frail voice came to say, 
“It’s bad news I’m afraid…” 
Just numb and dismayed, couldn’t this be delayed, 
For another decade? 

Chorus: 
We want to, we want to see you again, 
Because you’ve been away for way too long. 
We want to, we want to see you again, 
It’s hard to stay this strong. 

Verse 2: 
It’s not your fault; you’re not to blame, 
When you began to forget my name, 
The memories slip; it’s such a shame, 
What a nightmare this became. 

For months and months, you just got worse; 
I never thought it would end with a hearse, 
Or that one that day you’d disappear, 
It’s not the same without you here! 

Stood in the rain, there’s so much pain; 
I wish I could see your face again! 

There’s no need to explain, I will ascertain, 
Yet this is driving me insane! 

Chorus x 1 

Bridge: 
Sky’s not blue, just different shades of grey. 
I remember your face like it was yesterday. 
I wish that you could stay; 
Not have to go away. 

Chorus x 1 

Final Chorus: 
We want to, we want to see you again, 
Though you’re never coming back, I know… 
We want to, we want to see you again, 
The time has come to let go!

We Want to (See You Again)

We've been working tirelessly to bring this EP to fruition over the last two years we've been together as a band, and now it's finally finished... We're very proud of what we've created and hope you enjoy it!

Released 24th August 2013.

------------------------------------------

Verse 1: 
Dry throat and shaking bones, 
Can barely breath and the nerves set in once more, 
But you don’t know what they’re for… 

I open my mouth but no words come out, 
Reaching in my pocket, I fumble about; 
Compose myself and these words I shout: 

“Darling, darling, please come closer. 
Scooch over a little further, 
‘Cause I’ve got something to ask ya… 

“I hope to God that you’ll say yes, 
‘Cause I love you, but I digress, 
I’d love to see you in a wedding dress!” 

Chorus: 
Broke your silence, 
Made your promise, 
That you’ll always be here, 
I won’t ever shed a tear. 

Here we stand, 
Face-to-face; 
Growing old together, it’s our fate. 
Twenty years have been so great! 

Verse 2: 
Two decades gone – Still going strong, 
Even though we sometimes get things wrong. 
(Sometimes get things wrong… x 2) 

But you’ll always be my best friend. 
On me you know you can depend. 
I’ll stay with you ‘til the bitter end. 

Never lost those dreams, 
Rushing through my head; 
Losing them, I’d dread. 

You took my heart from me, 
Filled it with memories, 
Kept it safe for me… 

Chorus x 1

Verse 1: 
My girl, she just turned two. 
She’s so cute, she’s a genius too. 
I taught her how to play drums, 
Even though she’s still sucking her thumbs. 

But now these problems arise: 
We can no longer meet eyes. 
My ex, the one I despise, 
So full of hate and lies, 
Says I have to say my goodbyes… 

Pre-chorus: 
Hey! 
Please get the hell away! 
I can’t face you again today! 
There’s no reason for you to stay! 

So, now 
I need to ask just how 
Did you think I’d feel? 
Yeah, you, 
You know that me and you are through! 

Chorus: 
You may have fooled me before, 
But I won’t listen anymore. 
(Act your age! x 3) 

Your reign of control is at an end, 
Yet you still lie; you still pretend. 
(Act your age! x 3) 
(And grow up!) 

Verse 2: 
So full of all these empty threats, 
There’s no remorse or regret, 
So how can I forgive and forget? 
If not for my girl, I’d wish we’d never have met. 

You thought you’d get away with ease, 
That I’d just pay the support fees. 
Not a chance, start listening please: 
I’ll call the authorities; I’ll bring you too your knees; 
You’ll wish you’d never been such a tease! 

Pre-chorus x 1 

Chorus x 1 

Bridge: 
You think that you’re in control; 
There’s one thing you should know: 
I’m not gonna stand for this. 
You’re really taking the piss! 

There’s no more room for you here, 
With us you do not fit. 
I am sick of your lies, 
Sick of all your bullshit! 

Try’na stop me from seeing 
My girl, her daddy she needs. 
You can’t take her from me. 
Don’t make two down from three. 

You need to watch your mouth; 
You’d better shut the hell up. 
You’re nearly twenty years old, 
Act your age and grow up! (Act your age and grow up!) 

Chorus x 1 
Act your age and grow up! 
You’re nearly twenty years old, 
Act your age and grow up…
