I Won't Let You Go 03:54
lyrics
buy track
I waited five years for my love to come home Why did I have to do this all alone? My debt is so heavy from the things that I owe Why do I sit here and wait on my phone? I left You out there but Your love, it remained The longer I hid, well, the more You felt strange Too much to resist all the things that don’t change Right at the moment I hear You say I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I’m yours, you’re mine I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I’m yours, tonight Take it or leave it, I’m trying to tell you You’ve been on my mind for some time Running in circles and tracing your footsteps You know that your heart’s not aligned Take it or leave it, I’m trying to tell you You’ve been on my mind since design Following closely and tracing your footsteps I’ve been by your side this whole time I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I’m yours, you’re mine I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I’m yours, tonight

Throne 04:09
lyrics

Hold me tight Against the night and watch me go Staying alive Ceremonial lights will guide me home Oh my soul, will sing Beholding love, a beggar Take my hands, these rings, my thoughts All I can measure Find my life, my hope, my fight My heart together Find my vows, my all, my strength Your throne forever The shift, the change The rearrangement of something else The turning tide A change of mind towards the sun Oh my soul, will sing Beholding love, a beggar Take my hands, these rings, my thoughts All I can measure Find my life, my hope, my fight My heart together Find my vows, my all, my strength Your throne forever

Bathe 05:11
lyrics

You take me, take me as I am And make me, make me a new man Your body bleeding as my pride, it takes its toll Scarred hands, they lift me to the places where I know Bathe in the light you know Dance in the feeling of letting go Bathe in the light of home Scarred hands and feet will always glow Oh, always glow Illuminate my feet as You write This skyline might be dark tonight Your side a doorway to the life that You hold Still waters tell me of the depths to which You’d go Bathe in the light you know Dance in the feeling of letting go Bathe in the light of home Scarred hands and feet will always glow Oh, always glow

More Life 04:35
lyrics

Mould me into Your kind Into Your likeness I want more of Your life More of You less of me I met You that Wednesday night To just get a glimpse of Your face And I see now, colourised I know it’s hard Wrestling my faith and doubt Chasing Your heart Who’s holding me under the light? I know Your voice Speaks through the darkest night, the night, the night You are worth the fight, the fight, the fight On the backroad of a seaside town You’re pulling my heart to Not run, but turn around Speak now, I’m listening In the blue hour light of dawn Colours that fix the day Into perfect life I know it’s hard Wrestling my faith and doubt Chasing Your heart Who’s holding me under the light? I know Your voice Speaks through the darkest night, the night, the night You are worth the fight, the fight, the fight You know everything about me And You know it so well You know everything about me This time I found You on the road I miss You, I miss You so You know everything about me And You know it so well You know everything about me This time I found You on the road I missed You, I missed You so Yeah I missed, I missed You so You know everything about me And You’ve prepared a home Now my heart burns within me As I met You on the road I’ve missed You, I’ve missed You so Yeah I’ve missed You, I missed You so Missed You, I missed You so

Float 04:21
lyrics
buy track
I wish I could fly above the clouds I wish I could dance there with you now It’s pulling me under It’s pulling me under Coming back to where we started from If I don't, is it giving up? I wish that I could float high up I wish that I could fall way down I wish that I could start some fire If only just to warm this heart on the ground On the ground I built up my kingdom, I built a home Just slow down out on the docks, all alone Here comes the rain and the thunder Undercover where we started from Now I think I finally know I wish that I could float high up I wish that I could fall way down I wish that I could start some fire If only just to warm this heart on the ground On the ground Now I float I float above the clouds Now I float I float with You now

Only One 03:53

You The only one I’ll ever need By Your light all I can see You are all I’ve ever dreamed Your face Shines as brightly as the sun In Your light I’m overcome And I know what I’ve left behind You are the only one I can see You are the only one You The only one that my heart needs When I cry or when I bleed You are more than what’s between You are the only one I can see You are the only one I can see Oh, I can see

So Far, So Fast 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Pack your bags or just stay the night You’ll only know if the feeling’s right You know you’re scared, you’re terrified Here comes the sun with the morning light Don’t grow apart From the vine you planted within your heart And we break, so far, so fast These are the moments where you’re living for a future That’s riding off of the back of your past And we run, so far, so fast Forget to recollect the memories of the moments In life, don’t let it pass I hear Your voice in the last day’s running, But I can’t stop the race Looking back at all I am becoming, As the wind blows where it may Don’t grow apart From the vine you planted within your heart And we break, so far, so fast These are the moments where you’re living for a future That’s riding off of the back of your past And we run, so far, so fast Forget to recollect the memories of the moments In life, don’t let it pass

Early Talks 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Summertime above the mines; the ocean’s rippled blue The church bell chimes just past nine, the people passing through Lonely walks in this wooded town ‘cause I don’t want to lose Early talks away from crowds when it’s just me and You Time is a wicked game And it burns right through But You know me better than Anybody else can I’ll walk with You Uninclined and unaware, I know I stumble too But walking ‘round these empty streets is what I got to do Giving to an empty hand is so misunderstood Love, I know, endures slow, when it’s love that comes from You Time is a wicked game And it burns right through But You know me better than Anybody else can I’ll walk with You I’ll walk with You I’ll walk with You

Just Like Us 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I wondered how it feels to build a home Somewhere by the beach where the wind blows I wanted to tell you that they’d grown Our kids, Samuel he is eight and Emma’s six It’s felt so long but it’s scarcely been a year From where the lighthouse shines you’ll see it clear Isn’t it just like us To fall asleep and wonder what we’ve done To wake up in forever Just like us Time to waste another moment Unless time can pass us by Maybe time should pass us by? One night, I was lying awake when something pierced my side I heard my name with the patience to reply I walked upstairs and took a step outside Isn’t it just like us To fall asleep and wonder what we’ve done To wake up in forever Just like us Time to waste another moment Unless time can pass us by Maybe time can pass us by?

Soldier On 05:37
lyrics

Soldier on, take my hand Be my light, take a stand And I’ll be holding on Cause I have nowhere to go I’m dreaming of the day When I look into Your face I see that familiar glow Wake me up when we’re home Hear the sound, it’s marching in Completing vows, communion planned And I’ll be holding on Cause I have nowhere to go I’m dreaming of the day When I look into Your face I see that familiar glow Wake me up when we’re home And I’ll be holding on Cause I have nowhere to go I’m dreaming of the day When I look into Your face I see that familiar glow Wake me up when we’re home

Colourful 04:24
lyrics

Such a dazzling white It’s like the sun’s in my eyes I can’t seem to get out of Your mind I’m loved outside time I’m colourful When You’re all I know Repaired to roam I’m finally home Not scared of what I might find You’re closer than the sky I’ve waited my whole life I’m colourful and finally home Patiently I see fire in my bones I hold You for the last time of this life Words find no escape from my mouth I wonder why is it so hard Before I get closer to You I’m colourful When You’re all I know Repaired to roam I’m finally home Not scared of what I might find You’re closer to the sky I’ve waited my whole life I’m colourful and finally home
