Just One Thing
Seven drinks in
She sends three words, half an invitation
I send three back and finish it for her
Let it sink in
Get rid of every single inhibition
I’m gonna get under once I get over
But she says
“There’s just one thing at the top of my spine, in the middle of
my head, in the back of my mind”
And her eyes are saying yes and her lips are kissing mine
But I’m seeing the red light
Cause I think that this is her first time
But her hands are begging me to make it a good night
And your flight doesn’t leave till half-past nine
So take that just one thing and keep it in the back of your
mind
I said leave it in the back of your mind
Seven days in
She ghosts at any form of escalation
And guarantees my steps towards her
Are two forward, ten back
She’s booking flights like it’s a new religion
How can I get under if I can’t get over
“There’s just one thing at the top of my spine, in the middle of
my head, in the back of my mind”
And her eyes are saying yes and her lips are kissing mine
But I’m seeing the red light
Cause I think that this is her first time
But her hands are begging me to make it a good night
And your flight doesn’t leave till half-past nine
So take that just one thing and keep it in the back of your
mind
I said leave it in the back of your mind
Just one thing
Just one thing
But baby that one thing
I said leave it in the back of your mind
I said leave it in the back of your mind
Leave it in the back of your mind
Leave it in the back of your mind

Cloud Nine
Tongue tied, shy type
Baby I don’t know why
I’d die and get lost in those ocean blue eyes
It’s not that I’m forgetful
I’m just absent minded when you’re in the room
It’s not that I’m afraid to speak
It’s just that I forget how to around you
But I won’t try anything
Because you already give me everything
Maybe cause I don’t want anything
Cause you already give me everything
That mind, that stride
Every time you’re in white
I’d die and get lost in those ocean blue eyes
It’s not that I don’t hear you
I’m just mesmerised by the way you move
It’s not that I can’t hold your gaze
But you might see how much these eyes adore you
But I won’t try anything
Because you already give me everything
Maybe cause I don’t want anything
Cause you already give me everything
It’s not that I prefer to
But this just ain’t no game of win or lose
The sun chases the moon
I cannot help the pull I’m drawn to you
But I won’t try anything
Because you already give me everything
Maybe cause I don’t want anything
Cause you already give me everything

Second Time Falling
I wanna learn to draw so I can say that I have memorised her face
I wanna learn to dance so I can hold and lay her body the right way
I wanna learn to drum so I can let her know how much she makes my heart race
I wanna learn to sing so my voice will maybe compliment hers someday
Second time falling
But it feels like the first
If I wrote a scripture
She’d be the verse
I wanna learn to paint so I can change to red the colours that are grey
I wanna learn to read so I can open up her heart and touch every page
I wanna learn to write so I can bring her image back when my mind has aged
I wanna learn to hold so I can learn to let go if she walks away
Second time falling
But it feels like the first
If I wrote a scripture
She’d be the verse
I wanna learn to draw so I can say that I have memorised her face
I wanna learn to dance so I can hold and lay her body the right way
Second time falling
But it feels like the first
If I wrote a scripture
She’d be the verse
Second time falling
But it feels like the first
If I wrote a scripture
She’d be the verse

Every Queen
I’m not writing to say that sunflowers grow in the winter
I’m not writing to say that the wind doesn’t chill in the fall
I’m not writing to say what I could do to make it better
Or make the weather warmer or make the hours longer
Yet make the time go faster
What I would do to you or for you
But I will always have at least five km’s of gas
And that’s enough to get me from here to yours and back again
And I don’t mind turning the heater up for you
It’ll cost me when the week’s done but I’m caving in
And I will put that music on and hear it replay
Though it drags on and it ends without a major
Cause everyone queen needs a castle build for shelter
But all I could ever build her is a fire
I’m not writing to say that you could ask me all of your
questions
I’m not writing to say that I could give you all of the answers
I’m not writing to say that I could put my arms around you
Or stop the lies that hurt you or brave the world beside you
Yet not to live life for you
What I could do to you or for you
But I will always have at least a half full glass
And that’s enough to fill your cup when you’re near empty
And I don’t mind giving my dinner up for you
If it means that it will warm you on the inside
And I will put that movie on and watch the replay
Though it drags on and it ends without a victor
Cause every queen needs a chamber filled with laughter
But all I could ever build her is a fire
You will never have to do with just a glance
My gaze is yours and baby there’s no wondering
Please don’t mind taking my time to see it through
If it means that wounds will heal and you might love again
And I will put that movie on and watch the replay
And the song that drags on and ends without a major
Cause every queen needs a theatre built for dancers
But all I could ever build her is a fire
