lyrics

Be silent (for) just one moment
Waiting, feel the latent
Yearning that is deep inside you all the time
Learning what it's like through other people's eyes

Feeling unforgettable but not acheiving
Dreaming all those dreams but always sleeping
Waking up to find you're starting out alone

But don't you fret, don't you cry
I will tell you the reason why
You must hold on to me now
Don't let go and don't look down
I've got you now....

Be thankful and mind this potent
Section of your life, it's
Tempting to skip the static
Fast-forwarding through life will often get you by
But missing out on memories can tear you up inside (leave your heart tied)

Feeling unforgettable but not acheiving
Dreaming all those dreams but always sleeping
Waking up to find you're starting out alone

But don't you fret, don't you cry
I will tell you the reason why
You must hold on to me now
Don't let go and don't look down
I've got you now....

I may write sad songs but I'm not a sad person. I am highly influenced by 90's alternative rock but embrace nearly any musical creation with a good melody and insightful lyrics and I seek to create that way as well. ... more
