Song Lyrics

I MISS YOU
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

I'm sitting here
Trying to understand
But the truth is far from reach
And I don't know why
Things worked out this way
I'd like to realize
Maybe it's my fault somehow
Then next time I could change the road
And maybe see your face again

'Cause I miss you
And it gets harder each day
Oh I miss you
And it gets harder each day
So I'll pray
That someday you will stay
I miss you

When I walk down the street
I talk to myself, in my heart you walk with me
And I don't know when I'll see your smile again
But quick time isn't quick enough
And my memory is losing space
If I could I would change the road
Oh let me see your face again

'Cause I miss you
And it gets harder each day
Oh I miss you
And it gets harder each day
So I'll pray
That someday you'll stay
I miss you

In my dreams I see we are still shining
But for now it seems
We ain't got time
We ain't, we ain't, we ain't got time yeah

Yeah, 'cause I miss you
And it gets harder each day
Oh I miss you
And it gets harder each day
I miss you
And it gets harder each day
I miss you yeah
And it gets harder each day
So I'll pray
That someday you will stay
'cause I miss you

NEVER COMING BACK
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

You don't say
A thing as you rock and you sway
You don't know
The faces, they come and they go
They say it's like this and that, and this and that
It's like this and that

It's like this and that, and this and that
Where have they gone?
It's like this and that, and this and that
Where have they gone?
They're never coming back

You can't choose
Whether you win or you lose
And you will age
Sentenced to life in a cage
They say it's like this and that, and this and that
It's like this and that

It's like this and that, and this and that
Where have they gone?
It's like this and that, and this and that
Where have they gone?
I said
Oh, where have your happy days gone?
It's like I said
Oh, where have your happy days gone?
'Cause they're never coming back
They're never coming back

Why?
Newspapers selling your stories
We all know
It's just to find another week's glory

It's like this and that, and this and that
Where have they gone?
It's like this and that, and this and that
Where have they gone?
I said
Oh, where have your happy days gone?
It's like I said
Oh, where have your happy days gone?

Tell me why don't you?
Oh, where have your childhood days gone?
Tell me why don't you?
Oh, where have your childhood days gone?

They're never coming back
They're never coming back
They're never coming back


I SURRENDER (extended version)
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

Drowning on the crest of love
A creamy sea I'm swimming in
Begging for simplicity
And the dreams that I've been carrying, yeah

I hope that it is not too late
To tell you how I feel
'cos darling when you're loving me
I believe the pain's not real

But this love is made of wax
You melted it with your fiery temper
Every time, every time, every time, oh yeah

How can you now say to me
That you don't understand?
What is really going on?
Inside me your lovin' man
So I'm drowning on the crest of love
A creamy sea I'm sinking in
Begging for simplicity
And the dreams that I have been harboring

But this love is made of wax
You melted it with your fiery temper
Every time, every time, every time, oh yeah

The bitching, your whining
Your sweetness and crying

You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah
You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah

I wanna lay with you
I wanna lay with you where the sun still shines
And you say baby, hey baby
I wanna lay with you too

But this love is made of wax
You melted it with your fiery temper
Every time, every time, every time,

You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah
You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah
You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah
I surrender yeah

You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah
You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah
You got me pleading for mercy, mercy yeah
I surrender yeah


HILLINGDON HILL
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

Where are those days that seem so far away
I will never understand
How at once they seem so clear
And in a second I was lost around here
My memory captured in a dream
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na

Where is my friend, the face I knew so well
I will never understand
How at once it seems so clear
And in a second I was lost around here
My memory captured in a dream
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na

Faces stained upon my walls
I thought I lived at Hillingdon Hill
Haunted by the sins of a second
A blink of an eye that changed my life

I've never left alone the thoughts I cannot call my own
My memory captured in a dream

Reality and fiction, day and night
Have all become a blur
Gelled into one like the worst of some
Mythical ancient curse

Faces stained upon my walls
I thought I lived at Hillingdon Hill
Haunted by the sins of a second
A blink of an eye that changed my life

Faces stained upon my walls
I thought I lived at Hillingdon Hill
Haunted by the sins of a second
A blink of an eye that changed my life

I've never left alone the thoughts I cannot call my own
My memory captured in a dream


ONE DAY
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

One day
You entered my life
And from that day never been right
Such a heavy impression
You laid on me

One day
Was all it took
A honey glazed kiss
And just one look
I wish we saw the heartache
And hazard lights ahead

I woke up this morning
And you weren't there
Same old song, same old story
Going around in my head

In April, in June, July, September
You came along
Made me remember
The love we shared
How I wanna go back there

So hold me in your arms
Never let me go
Life's too short
So hold me in your arms
Never let me go
Never let me go

Look now
As I stand in the rain
Another cold night on
A summer's day
While the wind in my heart blows
I wonder where my sun goes

Always
Forever we find
The scratch on a record
And I know the line
If forever could mean one day
I wouldn't wonder if I'm too late

I woke up this morning
And you weren't there
Same old song, same old story
Going around in my head

In April, in June, July, September
You came along
Made me remember
The love we shared
How I wanna go back there
Oh I wanna go back there

So hold me in your arms
Never let me go
Life's too short
So hold me in your arms
Never let me go
Never let me go

You ruined it
I ruined it
We ruined it so many times
So I love you, I want you
I need you in my life for more than one day a month
Or one day a year
I could put aside all the tears

So hold me in your arms
Never let me go
Life's too short
So hold me in your arms
Never let me go
Hold me in your arms

I don't wanna feel this way
Feel all on my own, yeah
Never let me go


SIMPLE MAN
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

This weight I carry
The burden I bear
Lies so heavy on my back
Shackles around my neck

I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
Tarnished mind
I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
Tarnished mind
But I want to be free

'Cause this is my life
I wanna live it
Just how I like
No one's gonna break me down
Yeah this is my life
I wanna live it
No one's gonna break me down

I look to the people
And just see ghosts
Their hollowed faces
And their minds gripped to their souls

Now free spirit
Seems only a dream
A myth to keep you
Blind and quiet
Such a powerful thing
Will there be a time
You choose conscience over pride

I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
Tarnished mind
And I want to be free

'Cause this is my life
And I wanna live it
Just how I like
No one's gonna break me down
Yeah this is my life
I wanna live it
Yeah no one's gonna break me down

So much time gone by
And we're still dying for the same things
If not religion then it's race
Always the same
And this storm lays heavy
Like a wailing banshee on my mind
It's in my veins and it breeds flesh to my bones

Yeah this is my life
And I wanna live it
No one's gonna break me down
Yeah this is my life
I wanna live it
No one's gonna break me down

This my life
And I want to live it
I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
And a tarnished mind
You're trying to break me down


WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

Running in search of pain to feel life
And not just survive
How nice it must be
To leave this one way train
Wake up, wake up
Shake the hand
Another face you're told you need to know
Maybe you could explain why
You care for the seeds they've sown

I do not wanna know what the future holds
I don't wanna go back there
And if you stay with me
Stay by my side
We could run all night
And our love will be a guide

I'm driving long lost days
Driving through the rain
Ever changing tides with a little gain
All it can be seen in my mirror
It's a fading reflection, a stone with me
Wake up, wake up
This ain't no time to sleep
For spending another minute here they'll tie us down
Cut your hair I'll take the boxes
And issue you the policy gun

I do not wanna know what the future holds
I don't wanna go back there
And if you stay with me,
Stay by my side
We could run all night
And our love will be a guide

We can't let them choose the day
We gotta represent the way
And while it's fighting to be done
We need to live while we're still young

I do not wanna know what the future holds
I don't wanna go back there
And if you stay with me
Stay by my side
We could run all night
And this love will be a guide
Yeah we could run all night
And our love will be a light
Yeah we could run all night
And this love will be a guide


END OF THE LINE
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

Staring at four walls
Can't stop thinking about
Things we used to do
When we first started out

Feeling cold inside
The thought of you out of sight
You danced the night away
Oh babe this don't feel right

But still I wanna thank you
For giving me the best days of my life
But now it's come to the end of the line
Still I wanna thank you
For giving me the best days of my life
But now we've come to the end of the line

Now there's nothing left to gain
'cause now you're gone and broke the chain
It's no surprise to me
It makes your life's simplicity

I recall clearly how
You once said to me
I gotta show my love for you
Stay true for all eternity
I thought it was easy
You've given me your heart
And I've never really let you in
Now babe I'm falling apart

Now there's nothing left to gain
I know that you don't feel the same
It's no surprise to me
It makes your life's simplicity

Still I wanna thank you
For giving me the best time of my life
But now it's come to the end of the line
Still I wanna thank you
For giving me the best days of my life
But now we've come to the end of the line

Now there's nothing left to gain
'cause now you're gone and broke the chain
It's no surprise to me
It makes your life's simplicity

But still I wanna thank you
For giving me the best days of my life
But now we've come to the end of the line

Staring at four walls
Can't stop thinking about
Things we used to do
When we first started out
We've come to the end of the line


STOP THIS LIVING
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

Stop this living...

I've been looking for trouble
Tryin' I stood right up
In a world of make believe
It's fun to play with the dice
And shake the cup yeah

I've been looking for trouble
Because no more does
The squeeze and pinch
Tell me I'm alive
I need something stronger
To break these dreams
Melt the glue from my eyes
It's the ways of the working,
The ways of the working mill

You say “If you find you're not a winner
You might as well stop trying”
I say “No if I ever stop trying
I might as well stop this living”

All you people, you know who
Nine to five, or seven to eleven
Doesn't really matter what you do
To pay the bills and see it through
Another of the streels
You patter the parade
So smile smile you're on camera
You can try and climb, you'll be lucky to hang on
It's the ways of the working
Ways of the working mill

You say “If you find you're not a winner
You might as well stop trying”
I say “No if I ever stop trying
I might as well stop this living”

The passage ways
Of my mind have searched
Under candle light
Forbidden truth
A hidden book
Has everyone lost their minds?
Minds, oh yeah

You say “If you find you're not a winner
You might as well stop trying”
I say “No if I ever stop trying
I might as well stop this living”

You say “If you find you're not a winner
You might as well stop trying”
I say “No if I ever stop trying
I might as well stop this living”


TURN THE LIGHTS OUT
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

You and me
We should be
In synchronicity
But you're far away
There's too much space and time
I promise you were always on my mind

Now I know
This much is true
I only want to get away
With you
Even just for a day
Every night in my dreams I'm with you

So baby when the lights go out
Though I'm all alone you're all around me
So baby when the lights go out
Though I'm all alone I still feel you
So baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Turn the lights out

I can feel you
Wherever I go
I see now everything is clear
Why you ran away
And you had to say
That you were never coming back
I hope you know this much is true
I only want to break away
Make these dreams reality
'Cos every night in my dreams I'm with you

So baby when the lights go out
Though I'm all alone you're all around me
So baby when the lights go out
Though I'm all alone I still feel you
So baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Turn the lights out

I don't want to spend another night on my own
So baby come back around
Baby come back around
Baby come back around here

So baby when the lights go out
Though I'm all alone you're all around me
So baby when the lights go out
Though I'm all alone I still feel you
So baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Turn the lights out

So baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Baby turn the lights out
Turn the lights out


STRANGE WORLD
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

Out on that dusty road
A place I don't wish to roam
You can see when the dark draws in the lost souls
They make it their home

Though it's safer for them,
Them walking these streets,
You can't put your trust
In the flickering lamps that guide your way
They don't help you place your feet
It's a strange world
It's a mad world

So when a strong breath of poison flaws you
And an intrusion of headlights they blind you
Now the devil is bending
It's your turn to meet
Your turn to meet

It's a strange world
It's a mad world
This world that we live in

If you could look above your greed
You might stand a chance to see
What's going on around you
There's wise men on every corner
Trying to sell you a “Once upon a time”
They account for how it happened
Always finish with a happy ending
Trying to sell you a cure for your broken home
Your broken mind
Your broke old dreams
Oh the wise men with all of the answers
It would be so nice to believe

It's a strange world
It's a mad world
It's a strange world
It's a mad world
This world that we live in

But then a strong breath of poison, it flaws you
And an intrusion of headlights they blind you, they blind you
Now the devil's bended
It's your turn to meet

And that's why I say
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You think you know but you don't know
The realities of this life
All you sell is lies
You're immune to what is true
The world is at your feet
But close your eyes and you will see
The truth of what is yours

It's a strange world
It's a mad world
It's a strange world
It's a mad world
It's a strange world
It's a mad world
It's a strange world
It's a mad world
This world that we live in


RUN AWAY
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back
That's what I hear, that's what I hear
Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back
That's what I hear, that's what I hear

I hear noises in my head
Screaming and shouting, the demons like to be heard
And my skull is cavin' in
With wide noise and empty fear - relax!
I just wanna close my eyes
Pray for the night
I'm so tired of the ride

And I just wanna run away, run away
Get myself out of here
And just run away, run away
Get myself out of here

Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back
That's what I hear, that's what I hear
Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back
That's what I hear, that's what I hear

Have you ever felt what it's like
Screaming and shouting but your words are never heard
And the walls are closing in
There's no air
So get me out of this rubble, come on
Gotta ring the bell
It's time for last orders now

And I just wanna run away, run away
Get myself out of here
And just run away, run away
Get myself out of here

So keep on marching
And stay in line
Don't break the rules
And you'll be fine
Work all your life for society
In the hope that some day you'll be free
So I keep on marching
And I stay in line
Don't break the rules, I got to do my time
Work all my life for society
In the hope that some day I'll be free

And I just wanna run away, run away
Get myself out of here
And just run away, run away
Get myself out of here

And I just wanna run away, run away
Get myself out of here
And just run away, run away
Get myself out of here

Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back
That's what I hear, that's what I hear
Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back
That's what I hear, that's what I hear


SEARCHING
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)

You feel the daily grind
Obsolete, it numbs your mind
Everyday is the same planned thing
Everyday you wash away your dreams
I know

So take down your barricades
Come out and talk to me
You think you're on your own
But I can relate and I've felt the same
I've been where you are

But I keep on searching for things I haven't found
I keep looking around, everyday
I'm searching

Don't let go
Where there's shadow there is light
Your search for greater things, it will make you, it will save you
I know

So take down your barricades
Come out and talk to me
You think you're on your own
But I can relate and I've felt the same
I've been where you are

But I keep on searching for things I haven't found
I keep looking around, everyday
I'm searching
I'm searching for what I've never found
I keep looking around, everyday

Let me paint your picture
With my palette I will show you
A dab of hope and a brush of strength are all I need
To colour all your cloudy thoughts and fears away

So I keep on searching for things I haven't found
Oh, I keep looking around, everyday
Everyday I'm searching for what I've never found
Oh, I keep looking around, everyday
Everyday just keep searching for all you've never found
You got to keep on looking around
Everyday
 Sweet baby, don't give up hope
