I feel like I’ve been walking backwards for so long
I wanna fly away and take the world by storm
And I can’t even tell you where I’d go from here
If you left me here alone in this world that I don’t know
And I can’t even tell you what it means to me
To have all of you around me, so please just sing this out with me
I’m free, free to live the life that I
Need, without all the mess and all the
Grief, I’m free to tell the world about the way I fell
You’ve picked me up, you’ve brought me back from where I’ve been
I wanted you to know that you make me smile
You’ve picked me up, you’ve brought me back I’m here, I’m here
You’ve picked me up, you’ve brought me back and you make me smile

Take You Home

I can’t be the one, I can’t save your life, and I can’t be the one to take you home
I wanna just be honest, why is that so hard?
A thousand words I could’ve said, but I chose to lie
I could’ve told you everything I needed to, but I couldn’t do one thing, and I left you, one thing, and I left you high and dry
I can’t be the one, I can’t save your life, and I can’t be the one to take you home
I wanna just be thankful, why is that so hard?
A thousand things I could’ve done, but I fucked it up again
And now, I’m trying to explain to myself why I do these things and keep my head down, keep my head down make the same sounds ‘cause there’s plenty more around
I can’t be the one, I can’t save your life, and I can’t be the one to take you home tonight
I give you hell and now I take it all back, I give you hell for what you did to me.
I’ll burn that bridge for what you did to me
I’ll give you hell for what you did to me and all my love

I remember when I was looking over
These city lights and fallen trees
I knew the time had come for me to let this feeling go
Times are changing, there’s not a man who could disagree with me, no
I held onto you so tight, and I wouldn’t let go
It doesn’t even matter, as long as you are here with me
I don’t even mind, as long as you are right beside me
I don’t know why I can’t save you, nothing is unbreakable
It’s times like these we need to comfort each other in our arms
News headlines they read about it, murders deaths and suicides, why are all these people going through their lives like this?
I held onto you so tight, and I wouldn’t let go
It doesn’t even matter, as long as you are here with me
I don’t even mind, as long as you are right beside me
The mistakes and regrets that we have, and a feeling I can’t shake
It doesn’t even matter (at all), as long as you are here with me
I don’t even mind (one bit), as long as you are right beside me

Worlds Apart

There is a place we can go
Where we will be alone
And I, I cannot take you there I will not go
But I, I will be back to make sure you got home
And now I’ve found in you a reason to think
That I’m someone special and have something left to give
But I, I will not waste anymore of my time
Cause I, I am so sick of just waiting in line
Cause I’ve fallen on my knees and I can’t get up oh no
We’re worlds apart, it breaks my heart, I just can’t find you
And now, the storybook’s closed
It’s ripped up and torn and the last pages hurt the most
But I, I didn’t know it would come to an end
It will, turn out better than I can comprehend
Cause I’ve fallen, on my knees and I can’t get up
Cause I’ve fallen on my knees and I can’t get up oh no
We’re worlds apart, it breaks my heart, I just can’t find you
And I don’t know how to tell you

Elizabeth

A floating city above the clouds
Where everything you see has happened before
Every little imperfection that I love
Heads or tails this fairy tale is done
Oh Elizabeth you told me that you’d wait for me
They tie you up and lock you down and just tease me
But when that sweet sound plays
The songbird comes and carries you away
Everything that I have said myself
It feels as though I’m saying it as somebody else
Would you kindly go? Would you kindly stay?
I don’t even know my fucking name
Elizabeth you told me that you’d wait for me
They tie you up and lock you down and just tease me
But when that sweet sound plays
The songbird comes and carries you away
It carries you away, away

Andrew Vanstone Cornwall, UK
'Andrew Vanstone has been making great music for longer than he cares to remember, managing to combine and weave between the rough and energetic, the more technical and melodic, and the deeply soulful and honest. Whichever of those song-writing moods he's in, he also always manages to add a healthy dose of catchiness, leaving you humming along for the rest of the day.' ... more
