Here are the lyrics to my first EP, Fighting and Flying:
Two Minds
I’m in two minds
Yours and mine
Caught between two worlds
All the time
The closer I am to you
The further I am from me
The more that I have to lose
The more you are free
You leave me in suspension
Vying for my own attention
Let me go
Cos I can see your eyes
And you eyes won’t fix on mine
And you can say what you like
You say what you like
But I’m so lonely with you
I’m so lonely with you
In my heart of hearts
I’d like to depart
And stop harping back
To who we were at the start
The longer I leave me here
The longer it will take to return
So I see in your eyes
A bridge I must burn
And I’ll be in suspension
Til I stage my intervention
Let me go
Cos I can see your eyes
And you eyes won’t fix on mine
And you can say what you like
You say what you like
But I’m so lonely with you
I’m so lonely with you
I’ll never find all that you’re trying to hide
So it’s time
You can’t read my lips and I won’t read your mind
So it’s time
Cos I can see your eyes
And you eyes won’t fix on mine
And you can say what you like
You say what you like
Let go (if you let go)
Kiss me quietly
Until I learn
To hold these tears back
Until they burn
And yes I want this
But that’s not enough
So hold me here
Til it’s too tough
Kiss me blindly
So I can hide
All I’d have to say
With my mouth open wide
I want to want this
But that’s not enough
So I’ll hold on
Til it’s too tough
-so push me push me
Push my words til they fall out
Of heavy hearts and open mouths
Push me to say what we both know
I’ll let go if you let go
Hold me gently
And watch me glow
With questions to answers
I already know
And yes I feel this
But it’s too much
So hold me here til it’s too tough
Touch my body
See if it works
I’ll hold my heart still
Delay the hurt
Cos yes I love you
But that’s not enough
When holding on and
letting go are too tough
-would you push me push me
Push my words til they fall out
Of heavy hearts and open mouths
Push me to say what we both know
I’ll let go if you let go
Hold yourself against me any way you like
Rest your weight on my shoulders for one more night
And be honest with me or I’ll be honest for you I’ll be honest for you
I’ll be honest for you
If you push me push me
Surrender
I keep my thoughts beneath my skin
Hard to touch but easy peel
You scream your thoughts into my ear
Still it’s hard to hear
Now my heartbeat is leading the percussion
Blood runs like there’s somewhere to go
And my body swings from feeling hollow
To overflow
So surrender
I surrender to this moment
Let your guard down
I didn’t want to be defensive
Lose your senses
And now my sense is flying at me
Surrender
I stare at the truth for a while
Like applying pressure can change it’s state
And if it’s only true that time will heal
I’ll just have to wait
And I want to leave you where I found you
And I can’t work out why I won’t
And I wish I wished I’d never met you
But I don’t
So surrender
I surrender to this moment
Let your guard down
I didn’t want to be defensive
Lose your senses
And now my sense is flying at me
Surrender
You watched me love you
And you watched me fall
And you didn’t push me
How could I blame you at all?
You watched me love you
And you watched me fall
And you didn’t stop me
At all
Wring me out
I tried to float away but I’m home again
The moon told the tide to bring me
My heart was heavy and my pride was sore
Now my skin is thicker than that one I wore
And despite myself
And you wring me out
You wring me out
When my hands betray me and my will is weak
You hear my secrets in my silent defeat
Because you dare to notice what I don’t dare to know
And I just watch you turn me into skin and bones
And despite myself
You wring me out
You wring me out
You wring me out
You wring me out
You wring me out
When the water moves so fast
It won’t hold my reflection
I see you
And you save me through the waves
