Sometimes I lie awake and think about the people who were once important but are no longer in my life, and not necessarily in the romantic realm. This song is about the contemplation and the love that remains.

DO YOU EVER by Murbora | lyrics

Do you ever lie awake    
And think about the way we used to be? 
The way my eyes would change for you  
When yours were on me 
Even just for a moment
Ooh ooh ooh 
 
Do you ever wish you could 
Go back and change the things you said?
If I didn’t let go of your hand
And knew there would be no end to this longing

Did you let me go?
Let me go
I changed my mind
Changed my mind
Did you let me go?
I want to stay in this mess   
  
Do you ever lie awake and 
Think of me in your sleepless night?
Do you ever ask about me?
Do you want to know if I’m alright?

I write your name on my blank paper
Whisper it in my sleep
Do you ever see me in your dreams?
Do you ever see me in your dreams?
Your dream
‘Cause I do

Do you ever feel the ache
And pray that you could someday break free? 
The soul dies
Just to renew 
I’m down on my knees

Down on my knees
Down on my knees
Down
Down on my knees
I’m down on my knees

Do you ever find a break and
Find a break
Think of me while in your endless fight?
In your endless fight
Do you ever write about me? 
Write about me
Do you ever wonder if I was right? 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ah
Do you ever
Do you ever
I dream of you
Do you ever dream of me?
I sing for you
Do you ever sing for me?
All the time
Do you ever miss me?
I miss you

Do You Ever

BITTERSWEET by Murbora

You said there is freedom
In our intimate conversations
You held me close 
In your delicate invitation
I said that you’re my best friend
And I love you

I could fall in love
But I won’t
I could love you more
But I won’t

You held my hand 
As we walked
Through our stories
About life and love
Will you remember?

Your gaze could heal my wounds
In the space between our limitation
Held you far 
In our intricate communication  
I said that I can’t stay
But I love you

You could fall in love
But you won’t
You could love me more
But you won’t

I’m letting you go
Letting you go
Did you let me go?
Don’t let me go
You’re no longer my hero 
Ooh
You’re no longer
You’re no longer

I could fall in love
But I won’t
Did you fall in love?
‘Cause I won’t
I won't

You held my hand as we walked
Through our glories
In life
And love
Will you remember?
Do you remember?

Bittersweet

CARELESS by Murbora

Freely and carelessly 
You told me your secret 
Like I was your only friend 

But everybody loved you
I wasn’t the only one

Why did you grab my hand
On the street that night? 
You looked at me like I’d be yours forever 
(Like you’ll be mine forever)

One fleeting moment
I keep chasing after you
You let go without a fight

You left me breathless
And now there’s no air
Did you ever love me?

I would have changed my 
Whole world for you 
Did you know? 
I was always here for you 

After all these years
You’re still my dream 
What could have been you and I
   
Always on my mind
With every breath
Are you just a figment of my imagination?

Do you remember me?
Or is everything gone? 
I wish I could hear your voice 

You were everything
I search for silence
Just to remember you

You used to tell me everything
I miss you
And the way you asked me how I feel

After all these years 
You’re still my dream 
After all these years
What could have been you and I 
You and I could have been
   
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
With every breath
Are you just a figment of my imagination?
A figment of my imagination
My imagination

Freely and carelessly
You said it was worth trying

Why did you push me away? 
I was just so afraid
Of what you meant to me 
I wish I was more careless 
Like you

Careless

Velvet Sorrow

Lyrics:

I’ve felt the ground slip from my feet
I felt each doubt press on my skin
I’ve lost my way when light was gone
But you were there to keep me strong

If you should fall, I will catch you
When you’re lost, I’ll stand by you
If you break down, I’ll bring you back
If you’re afraid, I’ll light your path

Don’t think you’re ever on your own
When you fall, I’ll guide you home
When the night feels far too long
Know with me you still belong.... (you still belong)

I’ve fought the dark that filled my mind
I felt each fear I tried to hide
I’ve learned to stand when shadows fall
‘Cause you were there to break my fall

If you should fall, I will catch you
When you’re lost, I’ll stand by you
If you break down, I’ll bring you back
If you’re afraid, I’ll light your path

Don’t think you’re ever on your own
When you fall, I’ll guide you home
When the night feels far too long
Know with me you still belong.... (you still belong)

Every tear you’ve cried alone
You got tired of holding on
so you walked away alone
I’ll be there when you call

Don’t think you’re ever on your own
When you fall, I’ll guide you home
When the night feels far too long
Know with me you still belong.... (you still belong)

When you’re falling… I’ll catch you
When you’re falling… you’re not alone... (you’re not alone)

Brian Songs Forever Rise by Songwriter E.H.B. and Hot Cookie
The tide rolls in, the tide rolls out
But his songs still linger, there’s no doubt
California dreams, voices high
Still chasing waves across the sky
He built a world with chords and light
Turned the ocean into sound so bright
Every harmony, every line
Still sings beneath the sands of time
He heard the music before it played
Saw the colors before they swayed
Took the echoes, shaped the air
Made the world stop, made us care
Brian, your songs still rise
Like the sun in golden skies
Every note, every tune
Still shines beneath the moon
You gave us love, you gave us sound
You made the world feel safe and loud
Though the tide may pull away
Your echoes never fade
From "God Only Knows" to "Good Vibrations"
Every song a celebration
A poet of the summer breeze
A dreamer lost in melodies
He saw the world in major keys
Turned sorrow into symphonies
Built a legacy so wide
That even time can’t brush aside
Brian, your songs still rise
Like the sun in golden skies
Every note, every tune
Still shines beneath the moon
You gave us love, you gave us sound
You made the world feel safe and loud
Though the tide may pull away
Your echoes never fade
Some say legends drift with time
But your voice still holds the line
Every chorus, every rhyme
Still rolling in like waves divine
The Beach Boys sang, the world stood still
A genius shaping sound at will
Now the stars hum soft and low
Singing back the songs we know
Brian, your songs still rise
Like the sun in golden skies
Every note, every tune
Still shines beneath the moon
You gave us love, you gave us sound
You made the world feel safe and loud
Though the tide may pull away
Your echoes never fade
The tide rolls in, the tide rolls out
But his songs still linger, there’s no doubt

Headlines Carved The Time
by songwriter Edwin H. Balder
back in 1969
jeffrey miller was at school
plainview old bethpage senior high
going to class with my sister and I
who knew then he’d die
shot by a gun from an american military guy
and now I’m here to say
this country’s bound to do the same thing today
[Verse 1]
he was just a kid like we all were
guitar in hand dreams a blur
laughing in the halls fall of ‘69
before the headlines carved the time
you can't kill the question with a loaded gun
you can’t silence pain with what’s been done
history echoes it don’t lie
and the flag still waves while mothers cry
back in 1969
jeffrey miller was at school
plainview old bethpage senior high
going to class with my sister and I
who knew then he’d die
shot by a gun from an american military guy
and now I’m here to say
this country’s bound to do the same thing today
it don’t take a war to make a wound
just fear in a uniform and a crowded room
he was no rebel just standing still
but they pointed and they shot and they always will
we put flowers down in the pouring rain
but the brass don’t see the blood or shame
they said it was chaos they said it was right
but four kids died in the afternoon light
you can't kill the question with a loaded gun
you can’t silence pain with what’s been done
history echoes it don’t lie
and the flag still waves while mothers cry
back in 1969
jeffrey miller was at school
plainview old bethpage senior high
going to class with my sister and I
who knew then he’d die
shot by a gun from an american military guy
and now I’m here to say
this country’s bound to do the same thing today
I still see his face in the yearbook print
still hear the crowd when the night went thin
we swore we'd never let it fall
but here we stand up against that wall
so I light one flame for a boy I knew
and hold it high in red white and blue
we were classmates not just names
but now I burn with righteous flame
and if the past must speak again
may it thunder till the very end
back in 1969
jeffrey miller was at school
plainview old bethpage senior high
going to class with my sister and I
who knew then he’d die
shot by a gun from an american military guy
and now I’m here to say
this country’s bound to do the same thing today

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
