Funny How

Funny how an old attic photograph
drags me right back -
drops me in a place I’d wiped away
waking all the faces – unpainting old cracks

Funny how I hear your same old lines
and still I react -
even though it’s all a world away
your touch comes creeping - and works way too fast

Rushing me - flooding me
crushing all the trapdoors and corridors

Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how you choke so hard
even now -
funny how – funny how
funny how I taste those broken lips
even now -
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how

Funny how you still mean so much to me
when we couldn’t last
flicked the switch on all our promises
reset the dial and rewrote the past

Rushing me - flooding me
crushing all the trapdoors and corridors

Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how you choke so hard
even now -
funny how – funny how
funny how I taste those broken lips
even now -
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how

No-one’s laughing – no-one’s forgiven
sweet regret – there’s only you listening
I could fall every step
but I’m still believing

Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how you choke so hard
even now -
funny how – funny how
funny how I taste those broken lips
even now -
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how

Funny how – funny how
even now

Always By Your Side

Let’s take a step back in time
silly songs and nursery rhymes
carefree days - bandaid knees
story times and childhood dreams

Now here we are - in a different world
borrowed time - unspoken words
battle scars - hope worn thin
the same young heart that won’t give in
brave and strong - keep fighting on

Always by your side
catch you when you fall
climb mountains – break down walls
and when you’re feeling weak
I’ll find your words to speak
we’re not giving in
this war we’ll win
always by your side

If only this was make-believe
days could stay and never leave
life can play the cruelest games
We fight the odds - hope remains

So here, we are - let’s smile today
tomorrows still so far away 
hold on to dreams, from younger years 
side by side we’ll crush those fears
brave and strong
keep fighting on

Always by your side
catch you when you fall
climb mountains – break down walls
and when you’re feeling weak
I’ll find your words to speak
we’re not giving in
this war we’ll win
always by your side

The battle rages on
is there strength to carry on
I cry tears
don’t know how we got here -
then I look at you
your courage gets me through
you’re so brave
now I’m not so afraid

I’m always by your side
catch you when you fall
climb mountains – break down walls
and when you’re feeling weak
I’ll find your words to speak

I’m always by your side
catch you when you fall
climb mountains – break down walls
and when you’re feeling weak
I’ll find your words to speak
we’re not giving in
this war we’ll win -
always by your side

Everything To Nothing

We never quite made it
from that scribbled yellow ‘Post-It’ 
still got it folded 
in my jeans back pocket

Maybe I misread it
maybe you miswrote it 
phone never answered 
yeh I can still quote it

Strange to miss a stranger

Everythin' to nothin'
right there - first time 
everythin' to nothin'
right there - in your eyes 
this isn’t how the story ends
I keep driftin' back to then
everythin' to nothin'
I saw the signs 
everythin' to nothin'

My head’s still racin’
from that night we spent just talkin’
I keep on lookin' 
near that bar we met in

Maybe now’s just dreamin'
maybe we found somethin' 
don’t have no answers  
know it’s you I’m needin'
Strange to miss a stranger

Everythin' to nothin'
right there - first time 
everythin' to nothin'
right there - in your eyes 
this isn’t how the story ends
I keep drifting back to then
everythin' to nothin'
I saw the signs -
everythin' to nothin'

I kept my promise
a thousand times
Everythin' to Nothin'
wrapped in just one smile

Everythin' to nothin'
right there - first time 
everything to nothing
right there in your eyes 
this isn’t how the story ends
I keep driftin' back to then
everythin' to nothin'
I saw the signs -
everythin' to nothin’
