about

From my heart to yours..

lyrics

If I squint my eyes harder
I can see our smiles by the water
I can see our feet at the border
And banging out a tune round the corner
When I close my eyes it’s harder
You’re laughing at the table with my father
You’re running down the street with our daughter
Making jokes about the names we nearly called her

I reminisce and I can admit
Nothing we did could stop it ending like this

There’s nothing we could do and it’s alright
There’s no words we could have changed it’s alright
What we want just ain’t the same
It’s alright, alright, alright

There’s nothing we could do and it’s alright
There’s no words we could have changed it’s alright
What we want just ain’t the same
It’s alright, alright, alright

I know every smell, every warm touch
Even though you’ve kept your distance since we’re locked up
I know every face on your FaceTime
‘Cause you change them to your music and your waistline
I know all your hurt and you know mine
You convinced me that no matter what we’ll be fine
I know it’s still true with a change of plan
All I ever want for you is to be happy man

All I want

There’s nothing we could do and it’s alright
There’s no words we could have changed it’s alright
What we want just ain’t the same
It’s alright, alright, alright

There’s nothing we could do and it’s alright
There’s no words we could have changed it’s alright
What we want just ain’t the same
It’s alright, alright, alright

It’s okay

There nothing we could do
And there’s nothing we could say
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s alright, it’s alright
There’s nothing we could do
And there’s nothing we could say
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s okay, it’s okay
Ohh ohh..
It’s okay, it’s okay
Walk away, walk away
Will you walk away
Will you walk away
It’s okay
