Matter of Time (single mix)

Pruning

I wrote this song after realising that for half my life I had been defining myself by the qualities of the people I was dating, instead of knowing and being comfortable in my own power. It references some of the toxic experiences that happened in those formative love affairs and, looking back, it's amazing that I thought these things were normal at the time. (NB: I'm not saying dating me was exactly a barrel of laughs...)

Girl I Was (Explicit)

April

If That's All It Is

I get up - I go to work.
I go to work - I come home.
I come home - I get some food.
I get some food - I eat it.
I eat my food - I go to bed.
I go to bed - I try to sleep.
I don’t get a single wink.
I can’t sop thinking of you - no.

Am I gonna work it this time?
I really need to know now.
How am I gonna work it this time?
I really need to know now - know now.
Is it gonna work it with you?
I really need to know now.
Am I gonna work it with you?
I really need to know - now.

I get up - I go to work.
I go to work - I stay at work.
I stay at work - I come home.
I come home - I wish, wish, wish you were here.
I switch on the tv - there’s nothing worth watching on.
My mind is on other things - I can’t even say you’ve gone ‘cause you aint here.
I’m not gonna worry no more - I’m lost but remaining confident.

Am I gonna work it with you?
I really need to know now.
How am I gonna work it with you?
I really need to know now.
Am I gonna work it with you?
I really need to know now - know now.
How am I gonna work it with you?
I really need to know now.

How am I gonna work it with you?
Am I gonna work it with you?
How am I gonna work it with you?
How am I gonna work it with you?

Work it with you.
Work it with you.
Work it with you.
Work it with you.
Work it with you.
Work it with you.
Work it with you

Lyrics: 

Home at 12, you’d been drinking
Not myself, too much thinking
Deep breath in like a baby in the bed
Going through the seasons in my head

Oh, oh

And though I can understand your reasons
It doesn’t make us even
Just complicates these feelings

So keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hide me like we are under attack
No I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever I go
Cause I just I just I just want them to know

Say you’ll sell me something sweet to savour
You’ll occupy all flavours, and stay up with me later
Crazy that I wasn’t able to tell you at the table
Cause my tongue was tied

Oh is it enough to satisfy me?
I want you to see me cry here underneath the night
When you’re holding me so tightly
I feel that I could die here
So why the need to find me a place where no-one goes?

So keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hide me like we are under attack
No I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever I go
Cause I just I just I just want them to know

Keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hold me, fold me into your mind
Please, show me you know me, I wanna be kind
And I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever you go
Cause I just I just I just want you to know

So keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hide me like we are under attack
No I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever I go
Cause I just I just I just want them to know

I Just I Just I Just Want Them To Know
