The Human Way

It all starts when you let out a cry
You can swim but you’ll never fly
Held tight in your mother's arms
Always there to keep you calm
Full of wonder you point and you stare
Breathe in deep take in the air
Living life without a care
So much to see and to hear
Your whole world in her eyes
She's there to sooth all your cries
Growing with every passing day
Finally forming the words to say
Kept wrapped up warm in your bed
So many things in your head
Gaining knowledge with everyday
Start to learn the human way

Summer Days
04:39

Seasons change and so do you
Every day there's something new
Every moment shorter than the last
The sands of time, they’re running fast
Uniforms, pencils, bags and books
Worried about your changing looks
Scribbling numbers down on a page
Hoping that you'll never age
All of those summer days
Hoping they will never end
Singing whatever plays
As the sun starts to descend
Hoping that this will never end
Holding hands your life complete
Until the ground falls from your feet
You had it all but the feelings change
You're left alone and feeling strange
All of those summer days
Hoping they will never end
Singing whatever plays
As the sun starts to descend
Hoping that this will never end
But then you feel loves first sting
It puts its cloud over everything
But in time the pain will mend
There’s always time to start over again

Ten Years Time

Well no one told you what to do
You're all alone now
It’s time to figure it all out
What this life’s about
Worried about what life will be
What part you’ll play
You have your dreams of where you will go
But you still don't know
In ten years time where will you be?
What has changed?
In ten years time where will you go?
I still don’t know
Stacking shelves or scanning things
They’ve clipped your wings
When did things get so mundane?
Do it all again
Working hard to make ends meet
Won’t accept defeat
Keep on climbing the next rung
Your time has begun
But in ten years time where will you be?
Well what has changed?
In ten years time where will you go?
I still don’t know
In ten years time where will you be?
Will she still be there?
In ten years time where will she be?
Will she still care?

You and I

Watch your life on a screen
I see all you have seen
Jealous of what you’ve done
While missing the starting gun
Eroding my mental health
Always comparing myself
Pretending to be content
With all of this time I’ve spent
Watching you
What can I do?
Well now look at you moving on
You don’t even know I’m gone
With envy I still view
The entire history of you
Well I know now it’s all a front
But I still bare the brunt
Of a life I wish I had
Of the life I wish we had
That’s such a pretty ring
That’s such a perfect guy
I guess it’s over now
The end of you and I
You and I, you and I
The end of you and I
Watch your life on a screen
I see all that you have seen
Jealous of what you’ve done
Don’t you know that you’re the one?
Eroding my mental health
Always comparing myself
Pretending to be content
With all of this time I’ve spent
That’s such a pretty ring
That’s such a perfect guy
I guess it’s over now
The end of you and I
You and I, you and I
The end of you and I
Well that’s such a perfect house
Such a pretty guy
White picket fence
The end of you and I
That’s such a pretty sunset
Such a perfect sky
Such a happy smile
The end of you and I

One day, one day, here, one day
One day, one day, wash, away
One day, one day, here, one day
One day, one day, lost, deranged

Days Gone

Another day where nothings changed
Start to realise
So many days have passed you by
The story of our lives
Life’s about the love you share
About the ones who care
The look in another's eyes
As you watch the skies
Don’t waste your time on the days gone (the days gone)
Don’t wait until the moments gone (now its gone)
Don't be afraid to be your own (be your own)
Don't be afraid to be all alone (all alone)
The Moments you will never forget
That’s what it’s all about
It’s in everyone you’ve met
that you can’t live without
Don’t waste your time on the days gone (the days gone)
Don’t wait until the moments gone (now its gone)
Don't be afraid to be your own (be your own)
Don't be afraid to be all alone (all alone)
I spend so much time looking back at the past
I forget about the future
It’s so easy to look at youth like it was all you’re going to ever have
The truth is, life just keeps on going
Don’t waste your time on the days gone (the days gone)
Don’t wait until the moments gone (now its gone)
Don't be afraid to be your own (be your own)
Don't be afraid to be all alone (all alone)

Fly
06:45

Well there’s a beginning and there is an end
In time there is nothing more
So when you're sitting on the porch
Remember what you have lived for
Well all you've touched and all you've seen
Is everything your life did mean
And so now it's the final call
It's time to go, come one come all
You flew away
All your own
You flew away
Now come on home
You flew away
All your own
You flew away
Now come on home
You flew away
All your own
You flew away
Now come on home
Come on home, come on home
So as you sit silent on the porch
The sun is setting on one more day
You reach across to touch their hand
Now all your concerns fade away
