Getting Older

I’ve been thinking about
How the world turned out
But I never minded
Coz loving you’s so exciting
I been on my knees
Begging for some sympathy
But I don’t think I need it
No I don’t think I need it
Now I’ve found a
Way to keep my head above the ground
I’m alright
Now we’re getting older, I told ya
I’ll always be around
And I’ll never let you down
As long as I can hold ya
I’m always here when
The world is on your shoulders
I don’t mind getting older
As long as I can hold ya
You’re my ecstasy
The river to my sea
Fill me up with your love
Show you I’m worthy of it
Losing track of time
Ageing like the finest wines
But I don't mind it
Cos I think I kind of like it
Now I’ve found a
Way to keep my head above the ground
I’m alright
Now we’re getting older, I told ya
I’ll always be around
And I’ll never let you down
As long as I can hold ya
I’m always here when
The world is on your shoulders
I don’t mind getting older
As long as I can hold ya
Falling for you day and night
Loving you gets better with time
Now we’re getting older, I told ya
I’ll always be around
And I’ll never let you down
As long as I can hold ya
I’m always here when
The world is on your shoulders
I don’t mind getting older
As long as I can hold ya

Where Did You Go?

I don’t wanna say it
I’m running out of faith and time
Maybe I could fake it
Maybe I should fall in line
When the choices I’m making
Feel like the same old rhymes
All the moments I’m wasting
Trying not to fall behind
Where did you go?
I wanna know
Brother can you feel it
There's something in the art of change
Knowing how to face it
You’re never gonna stop the rain / that train
And you know if you’re honest
It’s harder to face it on your own
But I made you a promise
You’ll never walk this road alone
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I wanna know

This House

I missed the signs now I can’t take much more
I never take my own advice or wait for the final score
If only I could satisfy my need to cry
and leave my phone at home sometimes
I’d see the things I’ve never seen before
It’s always on my mind
that I’ve been wasting time love
This house looks better from the outside
No doubt, I’ve gotta clear the whole thing out
I try to get things right
I’m tired but I won’t stop trying
Think I’d feel better by the seaside
But this time I’ve gotta stop moving around
I heard to make things worse
You get hurt and you get hurt trying
I’ve been holding on for something new
I don’t think I have the time to change my point of view
I know when I closed my eyes and cut all ties
I must have I folded just in time again
I know that’s all I ever do
It’s always on my mind
that I’ve been wasting time love
This house looks better from the outside
No doubt, I’ve gotta clear the whole thing out
I try to get things right
I’m tired but I won’t stop trying
Think I’d feel better by the seaside
But this time I’ve gotta stop moving around
I heard to make things worse
You get hurt and you get hurt trying
Stand up and sit back down again
I’m no good at deciding when
To step outside or close the blinds
Cause you get hurt trying
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
To leave a mark or pass right through
I’d redesign my way of life
But you get hurt trying
This house looks better from the outside
No doubt, I’ve gotta clear the whole thing out
I try to get things right
I’m tired but I won’t stop trying
Think I’d feel better by the seaside
But this time I’ve gotta stop moving around
I heard to make things worse
You get hurt and you get hurt trying

Lover

Did my love let you down
Was I too quiet when you needed me around
I never learned to compromise
I must have overlook the sadness in your eyes
Think I’ll find another way to be your lover
Can’t deny it I’ve been tired I’ve been colder
Think if I’d been someone else or someone stronger
Maybe we could both let go
Did you know that I was scared
I kept quiet cause my fear was always there
I never meant to break your heart
Or play the games we always hated from the start
I think I’ll find another way to be your lover
I can’t deny it I’ve been tired I’ve been colder
I think if I’d been someone else or someone stronger
Maybe we could both let go
I’ve been searching always chasing in my head for so long
I’ve been waiting overthinking too much time on my own
Think I’ve found a better way to be your lover (x7)
So maybe we should both let go
