Iwasnearlythere

Lyrics by Aleksandar Kačurov

I’ve worn the medals, paid the cost
I know what winning almost lost
I’ve heard the room pronounce my name
Then watched them leave when failure came

I don’t need every door to open
I don’t need every wound unbroken

I’ve got the strongest heart
Not because it never breaks
But every time it falls apart
It learns the shape it has to take

I’ve got the strongest heart
I can lose and still stand tall
Victory didn’t make me strong
I became strong through it all

Some nights the crown felt like a chain
Some mornings tasted just like blame
But I don’t trade the road I chose
For safer ground nobody knows

I’m not the sum of their decisions
I’m every scar with new precision

I’ve got the strongest heart
Not because it never breaks
But every time it falls apart
It learns the shape it has to take

I’ve got the strongest heart
I can lose and still stand tall
Victory didn’t make me strong
I became strong through it all

Let the record show I stayed
When easier women walked away
I faced the score, I faced the truth
And kept the best of what I’d lose

I’ve got the strongest heart
Every beat belongs to me
I don’t need a perfect ending
To become my victory

I’ve got the strongest heart
Let the triumphs come and go
I’m not fearless, I’m still here
And that is strength enough to know

[Verse 1]
Shoelaces loose, running late
Cold toast sitting on my plate
Keys are gone, the dog needs out
Same old morning, same old house

[Pre-Chorus]
You just laugh, I shake my head
We’ve got a hundred things unsaid

[Chorus]
I’d still choose you every time
On the good days on the hard nights
When it’s all too much
When nothing goes right
I’d still choose you, every time

[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s lying on the chair
I leave it there, you never care
A cup of tea, a little talk
Just you and me, an evening walk

[Bridge]
We don’t get it right each day
But we find our own way

[Final Chorus]
I’d still choose you, every time
Through the long days and the short nights
We don’t need much to get it right
I’d still choose you, every time

Lyrics by Aleksandar Kačurov

[Verse 1]

You rang my doorbell twice tonight,
Then almost vanished out of sight.
You brought me roses, wore that tie,
But couldn't look me in the eye!

[Pre-Chorus]

Come on, boy, don't be so shy,
You won't know until you try!

[Chorus]

Chocolate and roses, baby, baby, that's too sweet,
Darling, you're blushing, looking shyly at me!
You know what I want, you know what I like,
So come a little closer tonight!
Chocolate and roses — now turn out the light!

[Verse 2]

You take one step, then step back two,
Is that a dance you're trying to do?
I know you want to kiss me, dear,
I'm standing here — the coast is clear!

[Pre-Chorus]

Come on, boy, don't be so shy,
You won't know until you try!

[Chorus]

Chocolate and roses, baby, baby, that's too sweet,
Darling, you're blushing, looking shyly at me!
You know what I want, you know what I like,
So come a little closer tonight!
Chocolate and roses — now turn out the light!

[Bridge]

I put your chocolates on the shelf,
You're busy talking to yourself.
If you're waiting for a sign,
Here's one, darling — your lips on mine!

[Final Chorus]

Chocolate and roses, baby, baby, that's too sweet,
Darling, you're blushing, looking shyly at me!
You know what I want, you know what I like,
So come a little closer tonight!
Chocolate and roses — now turn out the light!

[Outro]

Chocolate and roses!
(Chocolate and roses!)
Well, look who's not so shy tonight!

(Verse 1)
So there we were, you know
Just hanging out by the jukebox
Sticky floors under our feet
The bass pounding in our chests
Everyone swaying, lost in it
Your grin lighting up quick flashes
And those scuffed-up shoes tapping
Making tiny dust clouds rise.

(Chorus)
Move with me, move with me, right there
Feel that offbeat rhythm, feel that groove
Caught in our own little loop,
Spin around, spin around, let go,
We don’t care, we don’t care tonight
Just move with me, move with me, right there.

(Verse 2)
Sweat rolling down my back
Breeze from the open door cooling
Your hand brushing against mine
Your laughter lighting your eyes
Just another Saturday night dance
Magic made from cold beers and loud songs
Where words don’t even matter

(Bridge)
There’s an old disco ball spinning slow
Silver spots casting everywhere
Dotting your hair, your cheeks bright
We laugh at those who dance all wrong
But somehow that feels kind of right


(Chorus)
Move with me, move with me, right there
Feel that offbeat rhythm, feel that groove
Caught in our own little loop
Spin around, spin around, let go
We don’t care, we don’t care tonight
Just move with me, move with me, right there

(Outro)
When the song finally slowed
Breathing heavy, standing still
Your hand still holding onto mine
This place, sticky floors and all
Feels like our own little world
Maybe we’ll come back next week
Maybe we’ll come back next week

Mark Ooohh Mark

Mark, you were my big brother, my hero, you know.
You always had that cologne on
The one that smelled so strong, but oh how i miss that smell
You taught me how to ride a bike the first time.
With scraped knees, I learned; you laughed a lot.
You were always there, tall, despite the mess.
The smell of grass, the sun, your shadow stretching.

(Chorus)
I miss you, man, more than I can say,
Like when the sun dips behind the garidge late August.
I swear I feel you around sometimes, like when
The wind catches a door, and it shuts with a thud.
I miss you, my big brother, my protector, you know.

(Verse 2)
Kids in the yard playing tag, voices ringing
Through the air, just like the time we'd play ball
And how that old top of yours was too big for me.
I still have it, sitting on my chair, like a chat
Waiting to happen, speaking its own language.
Your old room’s not much now, but when I walk in,
The bed’s still got that dip you left behind.

[SWITCH TEMPO AND CHORD]
(Chorus)
I miss you, man, more than I can say,
Like when we used to talk for hours
Feels like yesterday you were here, in this space,
With that slow grin you had when you got it just right.
I miss you, my big brother, my hero, always.

(Bridge)
Funny how I catch myself looking up, still,
Like I expect you standing there, hands on hips.
Your voice was the soundtrack to my own growing up,
And I don’t know, maybe it’s in the crickets we hear at night
Or the way an old movie still makes us laugh.

[SWITCH TEMPO AND CHORD. DIFFERANT MELODY]

(Outro)
Mark, you’re in these moments, these tiny things,
The creaky floorboard, coffee left on the counter.
I smile every day, as if you’re still right here,
My brother, my hero, just a little out of reach
Living on in my heart
Oohh Mark
Always in my heart

Please Stay
Track I wrote for a friend's funeral very kindly mixed by elmomedia for me so thanky… more

Iwasnearlythere
Empty chair at the table now
It's just not fair, I don't know how
We were just talking yesterday
Now you're gone, what can I say?

(Chorus)
Oh, the "what ifs," they haunt my mind
A million questions, left behind
Wish I could turn back just one day
To tell you, please, please stay

(Verse 2)
Remember laughter, bright and loud?
You stood out, never in the crowd
Now silence fills this empty space
Tears fall down, no smiling face

(Chorus)
Oh, the "what ifs," they haunt my mind
A million questions, left behind
Wish I could turn back just one day
To tell you, please, please stay

(Bridge)
I try to understand, I really do
But the pain is sharp, it cuts right through
We all loved you more than you could see
Why couldn't you just lean on me?

(Chorus)
Oh, the "what ifs," they haunt my mind
A million questions, left behind
Wish I could turn back just one day
To tell you, please, please stay

I went through your track and the vibe stands out ???? your sound is clear and the energy is steady, this is not the problem, the real issue is that not enough people are hearing it yet, college radio is one of the best places where artists get discovered because songs are played to real listeners, there’s a Fiverr music expert who can help submit your track to those stations, if you want your music to start gaining attention ????. https://www.fiverr.com/s/akN62vW

I spent time listening to your track and the vibe stands out ???? your flow is steady and everything feels complete, this is something people can connect with, but it needs more exposure to grow, right now it’s not getting enough attention, there’s a Fiverr service where a music expert helps submit tracks to college radio and online radio stations across the USA, UK, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Europe, and DJs can also remix and play tracks at live shows, if you want your music to finally gain traction ???? go now and place your order. https://www.fiverr.com/s/qDZjpDZ

Iwasnearlythere
[Verse 1]
In the echoes of silence, I hear your voice,
A whisper of dreams we never got to choose.
Through the window8 of time, I see your face,
Every laugh, every tear, moments I can't erase.

[Pre-Chorus]
We'd dance in the rain and laugh 'til we cried,
Hand in hand, we'd watch the world go by.
Building a life, it was us against the storm,
But now I'm here, weathered and worn.

[Chorus]
Oh, if the war had spared your soul,
And our sweet child had grown,
There'd be a love we could hold,
Instead of pictures etched in stone.
A life of joy, a dream come true,
Ours was the life we never knew.

[Verse 2]
We'd have watched our child take their first steps in spring,
The echoes of laughter would make the heavens sing.
Summer picnics, painting skies of blue,
A lifetime of memories I'd create with you.

[Pre-Chorus]
Evenings spent beneath the stars,
Every moment treasured, leaving no scars.
A house filled with love, warmth in every nook,
In the chapters of our story, every heartache forsook.

[Chorus]
Oh, if the war had spared your soul,
And our sweet child had grown,
There'd be a love we could hold,
Instead of pictures etched in stone.
A life of joy, a dream come true,
Ours was the life we never knew.

[Bridge]
In the silence of the night, you're still with me,
In every shadow, in every breeze, a memory.
These empty arms ache for your embrace,
A love undying, time cannot erase.

[Outro]
Oh, if the stars could rewrite our fate,
Bring you back through heaven's gate.
We'd find the love meant only for us,
But dreams remain, just dust to dust.

In the heart's quiet corners, your love still glows,
Ours was the life we never got to know.
A life of joy, a dream come true,
Ours was the life we never knew.

FEMALE ONLY
I'm sitting here, same kitchen light buzzing
That old chair creaks when I move it back
Kieran, I still say your name sometimes
Like you're gonna answer from the hall
Your old shoes are still in that cupboard
And I still can't bring myself to throw them out.

Verse 1 — MALE ONLY
I know you do.
I know that chair still catches your coat.
And those shoes?
You always hated throwing things away.
You'd tell me I'm laughing at you now,

MALE
But I remember.

Pre-Chorus — FEMALE ONLY
It's been thirty years, Kieran.
Thirty years.
And somehow I still talk to you.

MALE ONLY
Then talk to me.
You don't have to stop.

Chorus

FEMALE
Kieran, OOOOHHHH Kieran, I still love you.

MALE
I know, I know, I'm listening.

FEMALE
I still look for you without
thinking.

MALE
You don't have to be ashamed of that.

FEMALE
Thirty years gone, and I can't let go.

MALE
You don't have to forget me to carry on.

BOTH
Kieran... Kieran...
Thirty years gone,
And somehow we're still talking.

Verse 2 — FEMALE

I found your sketchbook last Tuesday
Behind some boxes in the spare room.
There was that stupid drawing of the house
And your handwriting underneath it.
I sat on the floor for nearly an hour
Just holding that book against my knees.

MALE VOCAL
You kept that too?
I thought you'd binned it years ago.
That drawing was rubbish.
You told me that yourself.
And you laughed so hard

MALE
You nearly spilled your tea.

FEMALE
I remember.

MALE
So do I.

Chorus

FEMALE
Kieran, OOOHHH Kieran, I still love you

MALE
I know, I know, I'm listening.

FEMALE
I still turn around when I hear your name.

MALE VOCAL
That's alright. You loved me then.

FEMALE VOCAL
Thirty years gone, and I can't let go.

MALE VOCAL
You don't have to let go all at once.

BOTH
Kieran... OOOOHHHH Kieran...
Thirty years gone,
And I'm still here in the things you kept.

Bridge

FEMALE
I wish I'd had one more morning.


MALE
You had more than you think.

FEMALE
One more cup of coffee.

MALE
You always made it too strong.

FEMALE
One more stupid argument.

MALE
You would've won that one too.

FEMALE
One more chance to say I loved you.

MALE
You said it.

FEMALE
Did I say it enough?

MALE
You said it.

Final Chorus

FEMALE
Kieran, OOOOHHHH Kieran, I still love you.

MALE
I know, I know, I'm listening.

FEMALE
Thirty years gone, and you're still part of me.

MALE
Then let me be. Don't punish yourself.

FEMALE
I don't know how to leave you behind.

MALE
You don't have to leave me anywhere.

BOTH

Kieran... OOOOHHHH Kieran...

I loved you then.

I love you now.

Thirty years gone...

And we're still talking.

Outro

FEMALE
The kitchen light is still buzzing.
That chair is still by the table.
Your shoes are still in the cupboard.
And for tonight...
I think I'll leave them there.

MALE
Yeah.

MALE
Leave them there.

FEMALE
Goodnight, Kieran.

MALE
Goodnight.

MALE VOCAL
I love you

FEMALE VOCAL
I love you more

FEMALE
Kieran, OOOOHHHH Kieran, I never was good at lettin' go,
The world moved on, yet, here I stand still,
Loving what's left of a whisper, a shadow,
Three decades on, companion, best friend — just a ghost I love.
