Winds Of Change
Winds Of Change
[Verse 1]
On the drive home
You look at me and say, “What am I supposed to do?”
I said I’ll write you a song
You just got your heart broken, and I felt something start to grow
Maybe I’m just as confused as you
[Pre-Chorus]
When we’re sitting one on one I wonder
How would you feel if I
How would you feel if I said
[Chorus]
I’ve been dying alive every time you don’t see the signs
‘Cause a life where I’m not with you is a life that breaks my mind
How would you feel
If I told you I love you
Though we’ll see each other again, I won’t lie, it’ll sting
‘Cause I’d throw it all away just for you to settle down with me
How would you feel
If I told you I love you
[Verse 2]
The scent of you gives me butterflies
Our banter gets me every time
The way you laugh, our conversations, our aspirations,
A couple of months on, and ‘just friends’ didn’t hold
[Pre-Chorus]
When we’re sitting one on one I wonder
How would you feel if I
How would you feel if I said
[Chorus]
I’ve been dying alive every time you don’t see the signs
‘Cause a life where I’m not with you is a life that breaks my mind
How would you feel
If I told you I love you
Though we’ll see each other again, I won’t lie, it’ll sting
‘Cause I’d throw it all away just for you to settle down with me
How would you feel
If I told you I love you
[Bridge]
Please don’t be hurt
I never lied to you
These feelings came, and I don’t know what to do
I’m just as confused as you
So how do you feel?
Because
[Outro]
I’ve been dying alive every time you don’t see the signs
‘Cause a life where I’m not with you is a life that breaks my mind
Truth is, I love you
How do you feel?
[Verse 1]
My love?
My love
Changes can be scary until we reach the other side
I'd have you by my side if I could
I didn't want for the winds of change to blow us apart
I know it was for the best
I can't wait for you to come home
So follow your dreams, and I'll follow mine
I know I'm a liar
And it's the worst thing that I did
You showed what love and self-care was
So to cope, I'll say
The winds bring change all the time
[Chorus]
We’re chasing dreams under different skies
And it hurts like hell, but I won’t lie
The winds brought change, and so we flew
You found your voice, I’m finding mine too
But some nights I still play for you
[Verse 2]
It's a different kind of dream
When your world was small, and I fit too
Now you could be holding somebody else as close
While I’m freezing under this Nordic sky
Still humming to the tune of "Me and you"
It hurts to realise
It was the worst thing that I did
Still, I’m proud you flew that day
It made me change and realise
The winds bring change all the time
[Bridge]
Now I'm in this endless winter
Trying to find myself
constantly falling on my head
Play my heartstrings like a violin
[Chorus]
We’re chasing dreams under different skies
And it hurts like hell, but I won’t lie
The winds brought change, and so we flew
You found your voice, I’m finding mine too
[Outro]
I look to my side, and she's not here
But I wish she were
Winds bring change all the time
Winds bring change all the time
But I still yearn for her return
Winds bring change all the time
Winds bring change all the time
Winds bring change
All the time
[Verse 1]
Peekaboo little boo
You're on your cot, gazing up
The world's a better place since you arrived
I'm going to tell you a story
[Chorus]
Hush now, little baby
Cousin will always be by your side
There's no reason to be afraid
Everything's gonna be fine
Life will not always be easy
But together we'll pull through it all
You might neither see nor hear me
But you'll surely feel my love for you
[Verse 2]
Peekaboo little boo
What doctor told us turned our world to blue
What are we going to do?
Life will not always be easy
But as long as I'm here
I'll protect you
So...
[Chorus]
Hush now, little baby
Cousin will always be by your side
There's no reason to be afraid
Everything's gonna be fine
Life will not always be easy
But together we'll pull through it all
You might neither see nor hear me
But you'll surely feel my love for you
[Bridge]
Don't be afraid of the thunder
Hush now
Nothing can hurt you
Hush now
It was just a bad dream
And I won't let anything scare you again
So...
[Chorus]
Hush now, little baby
Cousin will always be by your side
There's no reason to be afraid
Everything's gonna be fine
Life will not always be easy
But together we'll pull through it all
You might neither see nor hear me
But you'll surely feel my love for you
WIP: (HERE BE DRAGONS!!!!)
As I walk through these streets
I feel this deafening inner peace
You can only hear the flying swallows up above the bright sky
It’s such a common sight here
The people
We’re just one big family
We don’t give up on people here
Welcome to the place that I call home
Ho ho home
Feel the warm breeze and go with the flow
This is such a magical place
It might be far from perfect
But this is my home
This is Portugal
WIP: (HERE BE DRAGONS!!!!)
Tonight we'll have fun
Tonight we'll be dumb
Paths crossed, couldn't believe it
Strike up a conversation
She's a local girl
"Let me show you around the town", she said
We'll keep this in a chest
Only god will know the truth
Pre-Chorus
ohhhh promise...
'Cause
Chorus:
Tonight's a one night wonder
So many things could go wrong
But you know what, let's have fun
This one night, it's gonna be a one night wonder
Somebody tell her that I love her
Tonight in Portsmouth
I think I want her
This one night, this one night we'll have fun
Verse 2
Having a cigarette, then one thing led to another, and so it goes
Just another casual sexual implication in a song
A bottle of Bacardi is next to me
While we're tangled between the sheets, not getting any sleep
I know it's fake love, my dear
But I don't believe in the real thing
Confusion makes things pretty weird
Outro
Just one night, one night
In Portsmouth
[Verse 1]
Cheeky smiles quickly turned to dust
Settled 'cause the wind stopped in shock
We were so blind to see the truth
The world feels colder without you
I just wanna ask you
[Chorus]
Can you float like autumn leaves
Do after they leave their tree
You'll be remembered, wish I could go to heaven and say goodbye
They said time heals all wounds, but I guess they lied
[Verse 2]
The town looks like an old western
Grey without a soul in sight
I'll miss our conversations
Where I'd tell you I'm scared of turnin' out a failure
And you told me you were trying start a family
Life is not fair
We rise from our seats and sing
[Chorus]
Can you float like autumn leaves
Do after they leave their tree
You'll be remembered, wish I could go to heaven and say goodbye
They said time heals all wounds, but I guess they lied
[Outro]
Everyone I love will know the angel you are
I'm feeling rivers coming out of my eyes
I hope one day we'll meet again
I miss you
Goodbye
