Lying with your arms around me
In those moments before we fully wake
Feeling incredibly dreamy
Feeling incredibly safe

Before the day’s sprung to life
Before my eyes have seen the light
It’s when my heart beats soft yet strong
Singing out its own soulful song

Made by love
By hours shared
As we start our day
There’s no need for words

Now you draw the curtains back
And let the sunlight kiss my face
Highlighting my sleepy eyes
Highlighting your empty space

Now the day’s springing to life
Now my eyes have seen the light
My heart still beats soft yet strong
Singing out its own soulful song

Made by love
By hours shared
As we start our day
There’s no need for words

Now with our drinks in hand
As we walk out the door
Already missing your touch
Already missing you more

Now the day’s sprung to life
Now my eyes have seen the light
My heart still beats soft yet strong
Although it sings a different song

Still made by love
But now hours apart
But I know, yes I know
How we end our day
Will be a repeat of our start

Our Start to End

They say don’t stand straight,
Don’t hold your head high
Don’t sway your hips
Let your smile die
They control, they freeze, they sink not fly

But they’re not winning, not tonight
I say not tonight, not tonight

(Chorus)
There are demons in my mind
But they won’t capture my soul
No way down for them
Won’t take a hold
I’m locking it down,
I’m pushing it down deep
For my soul’s staying strong,
It’s for keeps

They always shout hide
They always scream no
Don’t ask for help
No friends just foe
They seize, they grab, they arrest not flow

But they’re not winning, not tonight
I say not tonight, not tonight

(Chorus)
There are demons in my mind
But they won’t capture my soul
No way down for them
They won’t take a hold
I’m locking it down,
I’m pushing it down deep
For my soul’s staying strong,
It’s for keeps

They demand more stress
They feed on heat
Don’t try to run
No truth just cheat
They crash, they burn, they boom not beat

But they’re not winning, not tonight
I say not tonight, not tonight

(Chorus)
There are demons in my mind
But they won’t capture my soul
No way down for them
They won’t take a hold
I’m locking it down,
I’m pushing it down deep
For my soul’s staying strong,
It’s for keeps
I say it’s for keeps
I’m pushing it down deep
For my soul’s saying strong
It’s for keeeeps

Soul's for Keeps

Think this, is the end of the road
No more twists and turns
We gotta lighten this load
But not together
Sadly, those days have gone
Won’t blame you
As you’ve done no wrong

I just
Yes, I just
Gotta find, a way back to me

(Chorus)
I now see
We don’t belong together
Like a snowman & summery weather
We’re no noughts & crosses
No lock & key
I’ve just, gotta find, a way back to me

We’ve hit our bumps, along the way
Trying to push through
Come what may
But together this journey‘s over
Yes, it’s through
Won’t ignore
As need to be true

I just
Yes, I just
Gotta find, a way back to me

(Chorus)
I now see
We don’t belong, together
Like a snowman & summery weather
We’re no heads & tails
No lock & key
I’ve just, gotta find, a way back to me

It’s hard to imagine, going it alone
Navigating the path
Choosing where I roam
But we together
We can’t make it right
Can’t stay
Just can’t fight

I just
Yes, I just
Gotta find, a way back to me

(Chorus)
I now see
We don’t belong together
We’re happiness & tragedy
No lock & key
With us there’s
No forever in eternity
I’ve just gotta
Yes, I’ve just gotta
Gotta find, a way back to me…..

Right angles all twisted
Messed with me ‘ed
Got flipped, shouldn’t a sped
Shoulda lazed in my bed
Now seeing pencils, no lead
No bleeding but bled

Let me out this box, box
Let me escape this cube, cube
Feel like I’m in Fort Knox, Knox
Hell yeah I’m in a mood, mood

Gotta quit this stuff
Me noggin’s total rough
Don’t call me bluff
Had more than enough
Just-let-me-out
Just-let-me-out

It’s staining not raining me
I’m blaming not naming thee
Just a crowd, not it crowd
Just a Joe, no regular though
Can’t see today, or tomorrow
And blinks just interrupt my flow

Let me out this box, box
Let me escape this cube, cube
Feel like I’m in Fort Knox, Knox
Hell yeah I’m in a mood, mood

Gotta quit this stuff
Me noggin’s total rough
Don’t call me bluff
Had more than enough
Just-let-me-out
Just-let-me-out

Dis cute kitty cat ain’t cool
Me’s falling like baby drool
My crossed eyes not
Ain’t thickened just a plot
Or got what I not
Lost who I am, forgot

Let me out this box, box
Let me escape this cube, cube
Feel like I’m in Fort Knox, Knox
Hell yeah I’m in a mood, mood

Gotta quit this stuff
Me noggin’s total rough
Don’t call me bluff
Had more than enough
Just-let-me-out
Just-let-me-out

Yeh don’t call me bluff
Had more than enough
So Just-let-me-out
So Just-let-me-out, out, out, out

Let Me Out

I keep on picking myself up,
off the floor
As you keep on walking, walking, walking
out that door

It hurts too much yet I can’t let go
Your words penetrate me deep
like a poisoned arrow
But with one sorry and it won’t happen again
There I am ready
for a whole, lot more pain

(Chorus)
It’s those invisible cuffs
that lock my heart to you
They cut real tight
but I ignore, push through
Why no key
Why no release
Why no goodbyes
It’s over and you gotta leave

I just smile
from left to right
Whilst you just push, push, push
to retain this fight

The pain is deep yet I seal it up
And come back for more
from your poisoned cup
And this tour de pain has no end in sight
I should be letting go
but just hold on tight

(Chorus)
It’s those invisible cuffs
that lock my heart to you
They cut real tight
but I ignore, push through
Why no key
Why no release
Why no goodbyes
It’s over and you gotta leave

(Repeat Chorus)
It’s those invisible cuffs
that lock my heart to you
They cut real tight
but I ignore, push through
Why no key
Why no release
Why no goodbyes
It’s over and you gotta leave…

Trapped

(Verse 1)
To know I’ll be your last love
To know no other’ll catch your eye
That loving me has sealed them shut
That you’ll never say goodbye

(Pre Chorus)
For to know all that would be the sweetest news
Would rock my world so true
Would blow my mind
Would lift my heart
Knowing I’d always be with you

(Chorus)
But there’s no yes to pass your lips
No saying “I do”
For loving me is not your end
I’m just another girl falling, falling, falling
in love with you

(Verse 2)
To know mine’ll be the last hands you hold
To know no other’ll feel them play
That caressing me has captured them
That by my side you’ll always stay

For to know all that would be the sweetest news
Would rock my world so true
Would blow my mind
Would lift my heart
Knowing I’d always be with you

But there’s no yes to pass your lips
No saying “I do”
For loving me is not your end
I’m just another girl falling, falling, falling
in love with you

(Optional 3rd verse)
To know these’ll be the last sheets you crease
That no other’ll lie by you
That having me has locked your door
That you’ll love me through & through

For to know all that would be the sweetest news
Would rock my world so true
Would blow my mind
Would lift my heart
Knowing I’d always be with you

But there’s no yes to pass your lips
No saying “I do”
For loving me is not your end
I’m just another girl falling, falling, falling
Hopelessly, effortlessly
in love...with...you

To Know

Intro
The past isn’t over
As when it comes down to it
Life’s on repeat
Years, might fly by
But it’s a game we can beat

Verse 1
Whether an amphitheatre
Or shiny BGT show
A stage’s a stage
We’re still reading
from the same page

Chorus
For we know, too well
If we don’t change, which way it’ll go
As the past, lies in our future
The records, tell us so

Verse2
Racing golden chariots
Or a car park war
A battle’s a battle
We’re still reading
from the same page

Bridge
For our wants, our desires, our basic needs
All still ring true
But we’ve a chance to learn, to change
A moment of reflection, to start anew

Chorus
For we know, too well
If we don’t change, which way it’ll go
As the past, lies in our future
The records, tell us so...

About Me

Bio

I've always loved the spoken and written word and the power of it to engage.

My lyrics are inspired by moments in life whether that's an experience or literally just hearing / seeing something, which then takes me on a journey with words. As such they work across the majority of writing styles from Pop to Country, fitting most in between.

I hope these words form connections for you, like they have for me and I believe with the right audio, my lyrics can make truly special songs.

Please check back regularly, for new lyrics, as the words just keep on coming!
