I want your lips on mine, I need to feel your breath
I want spend the night, a night you won’t forget
I’m gonna pull you in, until you can’t hold back,
…. and you can touch my body just like that,

Hold me a little closer,
Show me, everything you’re not suppos'ta
Hold me a little closer,
And tell me this, tell me that, tell me everything …

You know I love it when you talk like that,
You make me crazy every time you say my name 
You know I love it when you talk like that,
You talk like that, you take me away …

You got a fire inside, I want to light it up
I need to hear your voice just can’t get enough
The things you say to me, underneath the sheets,
Get me going baby every time I hear you speak.

Hold me a little closer,
Show me, everything you’re not suppos'ta
Hold me a little closer,
Tell me this, tell me that, tell me everything …

You know I love it when you talk like that,
You make me crazy every time you say my name 
You know I love it when you talk like that,
You talk like that, you take me away …

Tell it to me nice and slow,
Tell it to me nice and slow

You know I love it when you talk like that,
You make me crazy every time you say my name 
You know I love it when you talk like that,
You talk like that, you take me away

Whisper closer,
Tell me that you need me now, come on over
you know, you know, you know wanna,

Hold me a little closer,
Show me, everything you’re not suppos'ta
Hold me a little closer,
And tell me this, tell me that, tell me everything …

You know I love it when you talk like that,
You make me crazy every time you say my name 
You know I love it when you talk like that,
You talk like that, you take me away

You know I love it when you talk like that,
You make me crazy every time you say my name 
You know I love it when you talk like that,
You talk like that, you take me away

Talk Like That

I thought we’d never break 
But you know, we won’t let go,
And the more I try to change,
The more I feel alone,
And every step we make, you are undecided,
Doesn’t matter what we do, we just keep collidin’

Never say,
Never wait,
I’ll never stop,
Never take
Another way - I never thought.
How would it feel if it all was over   … 
How would it feel…

Chorus
I gotta leave - 
‘Cause I still believe - you’re holding on –
Get away, get away, from here
get away, get away 

I’m looking straight ahead, 
But it’s hard to leave the path,
When everything you said,
It pulls and pushes back,
The wrong that makes us right, we just have to fight it,
Doesn’t matter what we do, we just keep collidin’

Never say,
Never wait,
I’ll never stop,
Never take,
Another way - I never thought.
How would it feel if it all was over   … 
How would it feel…

I gotta leave - 
‘Cause I still believe - you’re holding on –
Get away, get away, from here
get away, get away from here
I gotta leave - 
‘Cause I still believe - you’re holding on –
Get away, get away, from here
get away, get away 

And you, and you,
Are better on your own,
And you, and you
Are better on your own.
And you, and you

I gotta leave - 
‘Cause I still believe - you’re holding on –
Get away, get away, 
get away, from here
I gotta leave - 
‘Cause I still believe - you’re holding on –
Get away, get away, from here
get away, get away 
and you, you are better are your own
and you, you are better on your own

GET AWAY

Long day, I can’t even, I can’t even, think straight,
I can’t even, I can’t even, look away,
And when I feel the way I feel,
I shut my eyes and then it’s real.
I can’t live my life without your –

CHORUS
Hands, on my heart, and your touch in the dark,
And your eyes in the sun,
I can’t live my life without
That look that we share and the way you wear your hair
And your laugh that I hear everywhere
I can’t live my life without you, without you, 
I can’t live my life without you. 

Trust me,
I can’t even, I can’t even, fall asleep
I can’t even, I can’t even, watch you leave,
Cause every time you walk away,
The clock it stop, I’m wide awake,
I can’t live my life with your -  

CHORUS 

BRIDGE
I wanna wake, wanna wake, wanna wake up next to you
With you in my life,
Wanna wake, wanna wake up and tell you,
That I can’t hide, the way I feel inside, and every day feels so right,

With your hands on my heart,
And your touch in the dark,
And your eyes in the sun, 
I can’t live my life without you,

That look that we share, and the way you wear your hair, 
And your laugh that I hear everywhere,
I can’t live my life without your hands on my heart,
And your touch in the dark,
And your eyes in the sun, 
I can’t live my life without you,
That look that we share, and the way you wear your hair, 
And your laugh that I hear everywhere,
I can’t live my life without you, without you,
I can’t live my life without you, without you,
I can’t live my life without you,

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU

I don’t wanna leave this bed, the things I said, 
Are lost and living in my  head,
It's cold  … 
I spend the whole damn day, right here awake,
Laying in the dark, the curtains closed, and all I know, is 
I don't wanna go outside, this room
 
I don't wanna feel afraid, again, so help me god, so help me god.
I don't wanna feel the way I feel at all, 
 
Maybe I can find the time. 
Maybe I can find a better day.
Maybe I can find another way to say the things I keep inside
 
I don’t wanna do this wrong
I feel small, I’m all alone in a crowded room and all
I see is them and me, and all I feel is I wanna leave
And walk away,
I can almost hear them say, 
that I’m not real. 
 
I don't wanna feel afraid, again, so help me god, so help me god.
I don't wanna feel the way I feel at all. 
 
Maybe I can find the time. Maybe I can find a better day
Maybe I can find another way to say the things I keep inside.
Maybe I could find sun. Maybe I can feel the way I wanna love
And all the things I haven't done, could change my life.
 
What if I, go outside ….. 
 
Maybe I can find.

MAYBE I CAN FIND

Music and Lyrics : RBT | NE (Rosanne Baker Thornley, North Easton)
Performed by North Easton, Rosanne Baker Thornley

Amelia was running by the water, 
with her arms in the air like a bird,
through the field, and up the hill, she couldn't stop 
and all that she heard, 
was the sound of a plane
 
She pictured what the world would be like up there,
Soaring in the early morning sky,
But she was stuck there on the ground, 
and this was about as far as she could reach, 
She said, that’s not enough me, 
 
Take me up, just a little bit higher, 
Take me up, as far as I can see
Take me up, just a little bit higher, 
Just a little bit higher, that’s where I wanna be
 
Amelia grabbed her daddy’s ladder,
Leaned it up against the big ol’ willow tree,
One by one, rung by rung, 
Well she climbed faster as high as she could be,
She said that’s not enough for me, 
 
Take me up, just a little bit higher, 
Take me up, as far as I can see
Take me up, just a little bit higher, 
Just a little bit higher, that’s where I wanna be

So she left the ladder somewhere down below her 
Made it right up to the top of that old tree, 
And her fingers touched the sky,
And she tried to stretch as far as she could reach
She said, out loud, hey can you hear me, hey can you hear me
That’s not enough for me.
 
Take me up, just a little bit higher, 
Take me up, as far as I can see
Take me up, just a little bit higher, 
Just a little bit higher, that’s where I wanna be,
That's where I wanna be. That's where I wanna be.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG 
As are many of North and my songs, this song was found during an all night session where the conversation was fuelled with green grapes and cashew tea. North and I were talking about the famous greats, imaging who they were as children and wondering what inspired them to become the people we know them to be. We stepped into the younger years of Benjamin Franklin and Freud, but mostly we were drawn to Amelia Earhart, imaging her as a child with wanting to be “just a little bit higher”. 
Truly, our love for this song is in the journey of finding and writing it. It’s in the like-minded collaboration and vision of North and I, both looking through the same eyes to see a young Amelia climbing up her father’s old ladder and reaching for the sky. And it's in the sharing of our song for people to enjoy. Performed by North and I (RBT | NE), produced / arranged / played by Will Schollar with Mark Kelso on drums, recorded at Cherry Beach Sound and engineering by Inaam Haq. This song has been whole-heartedly adopted by North to share with his audiences.

AMELIA

Music & Lyrics © RBT | NE (Rosanne Baker Thornley, North Easton)
Performed by North Easton

So what about the little boy, who climbs a tree,
Just to see if he can reach somewhere near the top,
And in his head, the words his father said,
“careful son the way you live can hit you hard and it may never stop”.
And he went up and he looked down, he was high above the ground
He didn’t care that way down there, daddy stood strong,
Because he was born for the sky, and he said “this is where I belong”.

Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
It might get you to where you wanna go.

What about the teenage girl, who misses school to see the world,
And even though her teachers say she’s bright,
She packs her bags, flags down a cab, does what she can
To start a band, she wants her name up there in the lights,
Then there’s a guy who stole the car, drove it hard,
And when he crashed everybody said “if you go fast, you’ll probably die”,
He said “this road that I’m on, well this is where I belong”.

Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
It might get you to where you wanna go.

So what if all it takes, is for that branch to break,
And everything when it comes crashing to the earth below,
What if all it takes, is something you don’t know ….

And the boy who climbed the trees, is flying high on his trapeze,
And the girl who got straight “A”’s, well she’s singing on tv,
And the guy who crashed and burned, he winning trophies at the track,
He’s thinking back to all that he did wrong,
He says “man I knew it all along”.
“This is where I belong”.

Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
It might get you to where you wanna go.
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice, it might get you
It might get you to where you wanna go.

SOMETIMES THE WRONG CHOICE

Music / Lyrics RBT NE (Rosanne Baker Thornley, North Easton)
Performed by North Easton / Rosanne Baker Thornley 

He wears “Hope” on the heart side of his chest, 
“Nobody’s perfect” on his arm,
He got “Family” in the middle of his back,
and right above it “darkest ‘fore the dawn”.

"You gotta take hold", and "learn how to let go"
Words he carries proudly on his sleeve. 

He is, drawn with good intention
Carries more than he can be,
In his search for his salvation,
Are the words to set him free
And the body of his work, is who he is and what he thinks, 
There’s a quiet in his face, 
He runs deeper than the ink. 

“For my brother” written on his side,
“Stay Strong” covering a scar,
On his shoulder “no matter where you hide, 
you can run, but not away from who you are” 

"You gotta take hold", and "learn how to let go"

He is, drawn with good intention
Carries more than he can be,
In his search for his salvation,
Are the words to set him free
And the body of his work, is who he is and what he thinks, 
There’s a quiet in his face, 
He runs deeper than the ink. 

“Love your ghosts. Hold them close”
It’s everything he feels, without sayin’ ....
Memories fade but never leave ... 
Wearing the words that he believes in ...... saying .... 

He is, drawn with good intention
Carries more than he can be,
In his search for his salvation,
Are the words to set him free
And the body of his work, is who he is and what he thinks, 
There’s a quiet in his face, 
He runs deeper than the ink.

DEEPER THAN THE INK

Life hurts like brand new shoes
There’s always a little pain we gotta go through
And if we walk around, then sometime soon
We’ll break em in.

Our feet well they’ll get sore along the way
Might seem harder every single step we take
But we don’t have to try and win (the race)
Just break em in.

After everything, we’ve been through
Maybe me and you...just hurt like brand new shoes 

Life hits hard as a train
When we’re stuck on a track that we can’t change
And the longer we look the other way. 
We keep break'in

After everything, we’ve been through
Maybe me and you...just hurt like brand new shoes 

All we have to, 
All we have to,
Do is tell the truth 
Look what we’ve been through …. 
Maybe me and you …..
Just hurt like brand new shoes

HURTS LIKE BRAND NEW SHOES

I saw it coming, but I couldn’t turn
I didn’t touch the fire, but I still got burned,
Oh you’re a slow flame, all over my skin,
Your world is wide open, but you won’t let me in.
I’m falling for your love,
and every day I never seem to get enough
I’m falling, come pick me up
I’m in too deep I’m drowning in your love

And you still got me in over my head
I need your love, but I need your love
You still got me in over my head
In over my head again

You’re like a tight wire up the sky
I really wanna reach you but you’re too damn high,
You got this hold on me that's pulling me down, 
You smile and I crash into the ground.

I’m falling for your love,
and everyday I never seem to get enough
I’m falling, come pick me up
I’m in too deep I’m drowning in your love

And you still got me in over my head
I need your love, I need your love
You still got me in over my head
In over my head again

Every time I try to say it,
it gets so complicated,
and I get carried away 
But I’m gonna love you anyway

And you still got me in over my head
I need your love, I need your love
You still got me in over my head
I need your love, I need your love 
You still got me in over my head
I need your love,I need your love
You still got me in over my head
I need your love, I need your love 
You still got me, 
You still got me,
In over my head again.

IN OVER MY HEAD
