Here without you

I've been a bit quiet on the song front recently. Mainly because life has been a bit hectic. I'm finally back with my one true love after 10 years apart. It's not been easy going, but I think deep down, we always knew we were meant to be together. At the moment, we're having to deal with it being a long distance relationship, but hopefully we can fix that soon enough. Anyway, this song is brand new and written just for my beautiful girlfriend :)

Here Without You

I don't want to be here without you
Me down here and you all the way up there
Only feels right when I'm beside you
One day soon my life will be yours to share

Our first night together was the best night of my life
But I knew long before then, that you were born to be wife
No matter what the world can throw at us, we'll make it through it all
No matter how far from you I am, I'll always hear your call

So close your eyes when you need me
And I'll be with you in your dreams
Even tho a few weeks feels like forever
It's not as long as it seems
Every day, I wait for your call
Your voice makes it all good
I'll get to you somehow you know
That if I had to walk I would

I don't want to be here without you
Me down here and you all the way up there
Only feels right when I'm beside you
One day soon my life will be yours to share

10 years gone...

It's just another day, like any other day
Do I chase the dream or let it fade away
You make me smile, you make me cry
Spent too long without having you in my life

Why did I let you go?
Why did I push you away?
Why didn't I try to make you see
That we were always meant to be?

So many years since we have talked
Where have you been?
Why wasn't I there?
Time can change so much, too much
But it's like I've known you forever
Still want to be with you forever

What do we have? I don't even know
I want to hold you and never let go
Show you the love that you deserve
Have I missed my chance? Is it too soon, too late?
I'll wait forever. Longer, whatever it takes

Do you see what I see when I look at you, when you're looking at me
Thinking things I shouldn't and I can't stop
There's a chemistry between us and I don't want to fight it any more
I know I hardly know you but it's like I've known you all my life

What can I say? You remind me of summer
Every day, feel the nights getting longer and longer
Such a good feeling, it's like riding on top of a wave
With you by my side, this night will last forever

Brave Face

This is my 1st blog for a while. (Sorry about that, new job caught up with me) It's also brand new. The 1st new song in a couple of years. You can tell what it's about. Something that happened today convinced me to write this. Mainly because I use verse as the way of getting my feelings out.



I just heard the news
And I guess I never really knew what I'd lost
But now you've moved on, I see
It's too late, but now I realise, just what you meant to me

It's been a while since we could call us a couple
And even then, it's not like we really were
But the thought of you with someone else, hurts so much
I let you go, I messed it up, I guess I never tried
But since that day, there's many times, I've sat here and I've cried

It's just another day, like any other day
But now I know that you will never be mine
I put on a brave face, even tho it hurts
It hurts inside, but you think I'm fine

You know I wish you well, and I hope that he's the one
I want you to be happy, and I mean that
Deep down I knew, I never was quite good enough for you
But I miss you, really miss you, and I mean that

It's just another day, like any other day
But now I know that you will never be mine
I put on a brave face, even tho it hurts
It hurts inside, but you think I'm fine

Like Us

This is another one of those songs where I don't really remember the inspiration. However, if you take a read, I think it's quite clear what direction the song is taking. So... have a read and make up your own mind.


There I was, just hurtling through space
In my spacecraft made for one
Then as the mist cleared, I saw this place
And in the distance saw a sun

[Chorus]
They look like us
They act like us
But they come from another place
They speak like us
They walk like us
But they come from outer space

The grass was green, and the water blue
This place was clean and tidy
It looked like Earth, but of course I knew
It was too beautiful to be

[Repeat Chorus]

As I cross this parallel planet
I see what our world could have been
If people loved Earth and they cared for it
Then this is what would be seen

[Repeat Chorus]

The people were all gentle and kind
They worked together so well
All these things nearly blew my mind
Compared to this, Earth was hell

Ride to Hell

I can't actually remember what inspired me to write this. It's much darker than the stuff I normally tend to write. At the end of the day though, it's another break up song, so make of it what you will!

You've put me on a ride  to hell
To this cab driver I would tell
How you made my world fall apart
Just because you thought that you were smart

But you, let me go
You didn't know
That this, right here
Is my greatest fear

[Chorus]
I'm on a taxicab journey to hell
All my life I've dreaded the smell
Of a taxicab going nowhere
It's just eating me up alive
On this disasterous ride
Taxicab journey to hell

I move along not enjoying the ride
I get caught up in a landslide
My legs are shattered and my dreams
I'll keep going without you it seems

Cuz you, let me go
You didn't know
That this, right here
Is my greatest fear

[Repeat chorus]

I'm going to carry on, drifting through life
Without a care in the world
I'll stay on this ride, til we reach the end
Without you in my world
But I can handle it
I know I can take the hit

[Repeat chorus]

When you, let me go
Youu didn't know
That this, right here
Is my greatest fear
Not, anymore
I know the score
I can live without you
Forever
Forever
I can live without you


So there you have it. A glimpse into the darker side of my songwriting. There's a few more like that to come, but I'll try not to throw too many at you at once

You Told Me...

This song was written a while ago after a split with a long term girlfriend. I've always found the easiest way to deal with heartache was to get my feelings down on paper. So, here goes...

You told me that you loved me
But you seem to have forgot
And now you have made me see
That I stand to lose a lot

I don't want to lose you
I want us stuck like glue
But you don't want me anymore
You're still the one I need
Although you have left me
I'm going to run back for
Your love

You've left me very confused
About the reason we split
And now I'm feeling so used
What is there I can do about it

I could face the fact that you have gone
But I don't want to
I could try to find someone
But I don't want to
Cuz all I want is you

Tell me what can I do to get you back
You're the only thing I've ever prayed for
Maybe one day you'll see things the way I do
I love you
Only you

[Repeat 4th verse]

[Repeat 2nd verse]

I need your love


So there's this weeks installment. I'll be back soon with more. Feel free to leave comments if you wish
