Lyrics:

I’ve been holding back the tears
as I fear they won’t end
been putting on my bravest face
but it’s getting hard to pretend
that I’m not needing you here
and though it pains me to say
a part of me knew that you’d be the one who got away

oh I’ll be fine
guess I’ll see you on the other side
if the stars realign

I’m pretty sure
as I’m lay on my deathbed
the final thought
as I take in my last breath
will be about you
will be about you

I’ve been rolling back the years
I read all the letters you sent
I can hardly believe that these
are words that you meant
but I remember the feeling
and though it pains me to say
I always knew that losing you would be my greatest mistake

oh I’ll be fine
guess I’ll see you on the other side
if the stars realign

I’m pretty sure
as I’m lay on my deathbed
the final thought
as I take in my last breath
will be about you
will be about you
it’s gonna be about you

Deathbed

Lyrics:
I was waiting for the right time to tell you
Knowing that time would never arrive
They say that it’s easier said than done
But here that doesn’t apply

I was trying to find the right words to write down
Knowing words could never explain
It’s true that I do want you here
But I don’t think you should stay

I’m only human
I needed your touch
I’m only human
I want to be love

I was hoping that my fingers would whisper
As they paced between your shoulders and nape
They say that actions speak louder than words
But here that isn’t the case

As we’re lying in bed i feel heartless
All the words that I wrote have escaped
Then you look at me like I’m born to be seen
And I just look away

I’m only human
I needed your touch
I’m only human
I want to be loved
But it’s never enough

I was waiting for the right time to tell you
Knowing that time would never arrive

Only Human

'a song about finding the courage to leave.'

Lyrics:
I’ve made up my mind
Darling, I’m not coming back
It’s about time
We let it all go

All I wanted was
Honestly, honestly
And that’s what I told you from the start

We had some high hopes
We had some high hopes
So what have you done, dear, what have you done?
We’re back to where we started from now
When we had some high hopes

I know there are words left unsaid
But I’m too tired of trying, of trying
So I’ll keep them all up in my head, love
What’s the point in fighting now?

We had high hopes but
Honesty’s what I need
So why did you keep me in the dark?

We had some high hopes
We had some high hopes
So what have you done, dear, what have you done?
We’re back to where we started from now
When we had some high hopes

We had a great few months
And I’m gonna miss you now you’re gone
I’m on my way back home now
And this is the hardest thing I’ve done
We had a great few months
And I’m gonna miss you now you’re gone
I’m on my way back home now
And this is the hardest thing I’ve done

We had some high hopes
We had some high hopes
So what have you done, dear, what have you done?
We’re back to where we started from now
When we had some high hopes

High Hopes

from Will: 

"How long should it take to move on? It’s something I’ve asked myself over and over again through the years; I’m still not sure there’s an answer. This song is my way of dealing with that eternal question."


Lyrics: 

It’s been years
Doesn’t get any easier
Like they told me that it would
You still flow through my blood

And now I’m wondering
How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long?
How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long to still be thinking about you?
The way I do

I wish you were here
I’ve been wanting to see you
Do you remember the plans that we drew?
And all that we have left to do?

And now I’m wondering
How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long?
How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long to still be thinking about you the way I do?
Should I be thinking about you the way I do?

And now I’m wondering
How long should it take to move on?
Just how long would you say is too long?

How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long?
How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long?
How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long?
How long should it take to move on?
How long would you say is too long?
to still be thinking about you the way I do?
Should I be thinking about you the way I do?

How Long?

If you’re a closed book then why can I still read your pages?
Yeah, I see them in your face when you look at me that way
Not much has changed here
If I could, I’d grab the wrists of time and run right back to the start
Even knowing how it ended, I’d do it all again, dear
Just to hold you in my arms
One last time

Or was it all just a dream
And I’ve finally woken up
I thought I gave you the best of me
Though it never felt enough
I guess some things aren’t meant to be
Darling, I know that now
But I’m hoping that I’m just fast asleep
And when I wake up you’ll be here

Each song, a finger to a hand that’s reaching out
Each line, a tooth in a mouth that’s screaming out
Behind my closed doors
Can you hear me through the walls?
That you once walked through,
Yeah you just walked through

Or was it all just a dream
And I’ve finally woken up
I thought I gave you the best of me
Though it never felt enough
I guess some things aren’t meant to be
Darling, I know that now
But I’m hoping that I’m just fast asleep
And when I wake up you’ll be here
In my arms

In My Arms

lyrics:

pack your bags old lover
'cause I've been thinking of ya
as I fall through the hours
and I slip through the days
now the days are not ours
I waste away

but if I just keep on singing
maybe I can sing my heart out
and I just keep on writing
maybe I can write you out of me
but how long will it be until you leave?

butterflies still flutter in my stomach
every time I see your name
oh, what a shame
'cause now there's someone here waiting for me
and it's hard to explain
that it's you, only you I need

but if I just keep on singing
maybe I can sing my heart out
and I just keep on writing
maybe I can write you out of me
but how long will it be
there's someone waiting for me
so how long will it be
until you leave?

Write You Out

re:date

Coda

I have known you for so long
Others come and go but you are still here
And I hold dear, dearer than most
When you're not here, I feel you close
You are the best friend that I've ever known
And I hope you know

That you may have loved me first but I loved you more
And I may have touched your heart but you stole mine whole
You were my first winter
And I still feel the cold

When we were young, you shook my bones
But I was too damn scared to let it show
There are still things that I haven't told you
I know there are ways that I cannot hold you
Without holding you down
My small hands around you
Will wear you out

That you may have loved me first but I loved you more
And I may have touched your heart but you stole mine whole
You were my first winter
And I still feel the cold

Winter

Lyrics:

I’m so over overthinking
Thinking over everything

I stood outside
And hours passed
The flowers died
Behind my back

You only seem to want what you can’t have
So this time I’m not coming back
You never seem to want what you could keep
So don’t come running back to me

I’m so over overthinking
Thinking over everything
I’m so over overthinking
Thinking over everything

I’ll take my time
Keep your distance far
Away from mine
You don’t listen
You just lead me on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

You only seem to want what you can’t have
So this time I’m not coming back
You never seem to want what you could keep
So don’t come running back to me

I’m so over overthinking
Thinking over everything
I’m so over overthinking
Thinking over everything

You only seem to want what you can’t have
So this time I’m not coming back
You never seem to want what you could keep
So don’t come running back to me

Overthinking

LYRICS:

I'm sorry if I seem cold
I'm just six feet under
buried in my own thoughts
trying to dig myself a way out
 
but the world keeps spinning around
and I can't jump back in
 
'cause I'm stuck on the outside
I'm stuck on the outside
I'm stuck on the outside and I'm looking through
don't know how to get to you
when I'm on the outside
the outside
the outside
 
I'm sorry if it's hurtful
that my mind is elsewhere
I hope you know it isn't personal
I'm just running out of air
'cause I'm drowning in my own thoughts
and I'm reaching for the surface now
I know that I keep pushing you away
but I don't want to drag you down
 
'cause the world keeps pushing me out
and I can't get back in
 
'cause I'm stuck on the outside
I'm stuck on the outside
I'm stuck on the outside and I'm looking through
don't know how to get to you
when I'm on the outside
the outside
the outside
 
I'm stuck on the outside and I'm looking through
don't know how to get to you
when I'm on the outside
the outside
the outside
 
when I'm on the outside
the outside
the outside

The Outside

Bags At Your Feet describes the feeling of limbo. The want for a conversation, and the realisation that it's never going to come.

Lyrics:

If I don't start the conversation
we're never gonna talk
I'm running out of patience lately
are you ever gonna call?

you don't want to talk about it
so what am I to do?
you're taking your time but you don't seem to realise
that you're taking mine too
you're taking mine too

and now there's nothing left to say
I always thought we'd find a way
to hold on
to hold on

you've been on my mind
the whole night through
but something doesn't feel right
it's about time that I heard from you

you said you need while
to think it all through
you're holding your cards against your chest and you don't care
that you're holding mine too
you're holding mine too

and now there's nothing left to say
I always thought we'd find a way
to hold on
to hold on

bags at your feet
I can see them
there's no need to speak
if you're already leaving

bags at your feet
I can see them
no need to speak
if you're leaving

Bags At Your Feet

‘Oh’ was written in one sitting. Caught totally off guard, I saw a photo of someone who used to be a huge part of my life, and this song just poured out.

Lyrics:

by now my skin won’t know your skin
and by now your voice won’t sound the way that it did
when we were young
in those endless fields

oh
there you are
it’s been so long
since I’ve seen your face
oh
there you are
and here I am
so damn far away

by now your touch won’t feel the same
and by now you won’t look at me the way that you did
when we were alone
in those endless fields

but my bones
will always know your bones
and my eyes have seen your ways
young lover
I know that we are strangers
but in my heart
you stay

oh
there you are
it’s been so long
since I’ve seen your face
oh
there you are
and here I am
so damn far away
