lyrics

contemplating, my time in the warm Vallorian sun,
I’ve been thinking what was said and had been done,
well I left my life and friends close to me,
am I in the place where I want to be?
these are testing times but I guess I will find out
feelings of confusion, a lack of focus and worth,
cos if I stay I know they won’t go away,
patches of storm-clouds ahead,
I must still keep my head,
remember why I chose to leave

you were thrilled for the chase,
young and foolish I did not run,
I did not know what was said or what you’d done.
if I told you everything was alright, well now that’s essentially a lie,
found it hard to say but I cannot be your friend anymore
we move on constantly, a lack of pleasantries,
but we can’t move on if we don’t say our goodbyes.
emails scream indifference,
erratic interference,
no need just get on with your shallow life

and my accent it grows,
getting stronger every day,
trying to keep up with my Yorkshire heritage.
I’ve got friends to make, and new things to see,
a fresh page from where I used to be,
I’m uncontrollable but at least I’m getting there you’ll see.
we move on constantly, a lack of pleasantries
but we can’t move on if we don’t say our goodbyes
patches of storm-clouds ahead,
I must still keep my head,
remember why I chose to leave
