about

This is the last single from my upcoming album, 'What I Wanted'.

Written with Will Gardner, it's about looking back on choices you've made in your life and wondering if they were the right ones.

Produced and engineered by Will Gardner
Mixed and mastered by Pete Fletcher at Black Bay Studio

lyrics

It's too quiet in the city at night
All I do is fight with oceans in my mind
Think of you by the waves in your best shoes
You were so certain and I could never choose

We could run
Keep on running forever
Run til we reach home
Be who we used to know
We could run
Like the dirt in the river
Run til we are forgiven
For things lost a long time ago

Trains pass and it feels like a storm
Get up close the window, don't know what I fighting for
Dream of you and you've changed your name
Now you're on fire and I lit the flame

We could run
Keep on running forever
Run til we reach home
Be who we used to know
We could run
Like the dirt in the river
Run til we are forgiven
But we left a long time ago

This is what I want, what I want, what I wanted...
