I couldn’t wait to get to Los Angeles
With a Pink Floyd sunset shining through the breeze
I couldn’t wait to see Niagara Falls
But it’s you I think of when the rainbow calls

‘cause I’ve wanted to know what you’d be like
Yes I’ve wanted to know what you’d be like

I couldn’t wait to see a flamenco dance
In the old port of Montreal I got the chance
I couldn’t wait to see Verona too
I just wish I could have seen it all with you

‘cause I’ve wanted to know what you’d be like
Yes I’ve wanted to know it all my life

It feels like there’s lots to know – if I’m allowed to
It feels like there’s so much more to know – about you

I couldn’t wait to get on the Isle of Wight
And since I did I can’t get off this flight
I couldn’t wait to set foot in Paris
Thinking about it now, you should have been with me

I couldn’t wait to know when we would meet
And like a movie scene, when it came, it swept me off my feet
And like a movie scene, when it came, you swept me off my feet

Yes I’ve wanted to know what you’d be like
I’ve wanted to know it all my life
I’ve wanted to know what you’d be like
It’s something I’ve wondered all my life

Now it feels like there’s lots to know – if I’m allowed to
It feels like there’s so much more to know – about you

I took a drive from Reseda
Straight through the Getty View park
I’ve never been a map reader
But I was finding my way out of the dark
Staring on my back at the palm trees
It was music to my ears to see ‘em
Don’t own a home but I carry four sets of keys
I wish that one was for the museum

And I’m heading to the end of the trail
I found at Santa Monica Pier
An end is a start for a lonely heart,
But I feel you, I feel you, I feel you like you’re still here
So I keep praying that

Hope is like the sun, gotta get some sleep to find the morning light
Hope is like the sun, If you only believe it when you see it,
You’ll never make it through the night

I took an uber to Hollywood, superheroes hustlin’ on the walk of fame
Took a vegan option at The Hard Rock
All I could think of was the sound of your name
Then someone asked me if I wanted to sing
The band were plugging in to start
I sang a song that reminds me of you
I’d never sang so much with all my heart

And I sent you a picture that moves
Of a sunset on Venice Beach. I threw my wish into the sea
And it’s you, it’s you, it’s you that I want it to reach
So I keep praying that

Hope is like the sun, gotta a get some sleep to find the morning light
Hope is like the sun, If you only believe it when you see it,
You’ll never make it through the night

No I don’t wanna lose you. Tonight I’m singing up at a star
I don’t wanna lose you. Hope you can hear wherever you are
I made a stop on the Ocean Drive.
The fortune teller gave me a reading
She said a lot of things about my life,
she said the wanting hides all the needing

She said…

Take a good look, I’m an open book
And a real page turner, don’t let it concern ya
If it makes you cook

Take a good look, I’m an open book
Don’t let it astound you
But now that I’ve found you
Can we please watch Hook?

The pages are full in the first twenty chapters
And that ain’t even half way through
Lost my inspiration down to various factors
Got it back when I met you

Take a good look, I’m an open book
You can write your name on my cover
‘cause the day you were born the world shook

Take a good look, I’m an open book
Ain’t no bibliotech comes neck to neck
That’s the effort I took

Take a good look, I’m an open book
As long as reading is an art, to steal your heart
I would become a crook

The critics all know it’s a bona fide best seller
From The Booker to The New York Times
You know I was born to be a story teller
But the tale ain’t told ‘till you be mine

Take a good look, I’m an open book
You can write your name on my cover
‘cause the day you were born the world shook

Even if I tried I couldn’t leave you alone
Every time you’re near I get the shakes down my backbone
You skip and wink at me when my brains are on the floor

And nothing is enough, nothing is enough for me
And nothing is enough, nothing is enough for me, you see…

You’re my happy thought, I miss you
Yeah-ee-yeaah-ee-yeah-ee-yo
You’re my happy thought, I miss you
Yeah-ee-yeaah-ee-yeah
You make me fly

When the sun comes up you know you feel like you should
Save it for a rainy day but you know it’s too good
Hanging on like that could really drive you up the wall

And nothing is enough, nothing is enough for you

You’re my happy thought, I miss you
Yeah-ee-yeaah-ee-yeah-ee-yo
You’re my happy thought, I miss you
Yeah-ee-yeaah-ee-yeah
You make me fly. You make me fly.
You make me fly. You make me fly. You make me fly

Even if tried I couldn’t leave you for long
That sparkle in your eye makes me feel I being
So put down your troubles and sparkle once again

‘Cause nothing is enough for me.

You’re my happy thought, I miss you
Yeah-ee-yeaah-ee-yo
You’re my happy thought, I miss you
Yeah-ee-yeaah-ee-yeah

You make me fly

I’m floating up. Up to the top. I don’t wanna stop. Just you and I
I’m floating up. Up to the top. I don’t wanna stop. Just you and I
I’m floating up. Up to the top. I don’t wanna stop. Just you and I
I’m floating up. Up to the top. I don’t wanna stop. Just you and I

It feels natural to be near you
But I don’t hear it in your words
If it’s gradual, then I hear you
We could roll a chapter back to a verse?

But I see excuses in your baby blues tonight
I don’t want excuses, so tell it straight into my eyes
I don’t want excuses on a Monday night

It feels wonderful to sit with you
But is it only me that feels it?
You’re an original I could get used to
It takes one to know one, to reveal it

But I see excuses in your baby blues tonight
I don’t want excuses, so tell it straight and tell it right
I don’t want excuses on a Monday night

When it was you that told me: it would have been nice if I could be around a little more?
When it was you that showed me more attention that I’d ever really known before
When It was you that rode in and found out that I’m in, but you’re out
And this love that I’m holding’s getting colder each morning.
I’m fine, I’m fine.
Yes I’m fine.
I’m fine.

It feels Natural

I saw her in the heart of Dalston
Cutting a shape or two
From a legendary mould
Both delicate and bold

The curtain called, and my heart stalled
I needed another scene
Now I’m stuck to this screen
Will she message me?

We talked piglets and cygnets
I’m trembling I might get the boot
But I got a date for cake and bubbles from a champagne flute

Well she’s talking about two of her favourite things
And I’m thinking what the rest could be
Yeah she gives me free reign as I wonder blissfully
Can two of her favourite things and me make a favourite three?

From the start it was clear that her heart was in old Italy,
I wonder if I could get at her with my penne Arrabiatta?
She’s no fool, she’s got me sussed, I must try to adjust
To her lead and not my need to bathe in her gold dust

Well it’s serious, I’m delirious, I’m composing up a crazy theme
For a queen with the knees of the bees and the focus of a laser beam

Well she’s talking about two of her favourite things
And I’m thinking what the rest could be
Yeah she gives me free reign as I wonder blissfully
Can two of her favourite things and me make a favourite three?

And the owls in the barn are hooting like a Christmas carol
We’re going from Niagara to the stars in a wooden barrel

Yeah she’s talking about two of her favourite things
And I’m thinking what the rest could be
Yeah she gives me free reign as I wonder blissfully
Can two of her favourite things and me make a favourite three?

There’s a wise old man that lives in Phuket
Tells fortunes for free if it suits ya
I asked him to tell me more
’bout the secrets of my heart in the future

Said the journey we all take in this life
Is made in a boat that we row
We travel faster alone.
Carrying someone else
Can make it so slow

Where to go to when the truth
Won’t believe your dreams?
Will fate forgive if I decline
The invitation to hear what’s good for me?

‘Cause I think it’s worth it
I need a woman in this world to worship
A woman in this world to worship
A woman in this world to worship

I remember every word he said
He was looking out for my best interest
But out of a thousand words
I couldn’t swallow one. I gone failed his test

Well I’ve been travellin’ now
At such a speed
Am I ready to get in that slow lane?
Well time will tell and I’ll keep riding at this pace
‘Till there’s no pain

Where to hide when the sky
Won’t meet the sea?
I tried to listen
But it just don’t work for me, oh please

‘Cause I think it’s worth it
I need a woman in this world to worship
A woman in this world to worship
A woman in this world to worship

Find me a woman in this world to worship

Love can take you anywhere
And you know that for sure
s’impossible to know
When it’s coming through your door

How d’you get a handle
On a heart that’s not your own?
Do as you would be done by
Turn that cornerstone

And feelings arrive
Like telegrams on Sunday
Can’t reply till Monday
Feelings come alive
How d’you know what love is till you try?

Love is easy, love is lifting up a life
Longing for surprise
Love is rainbows, love is strength to let it go. Who could let it go?
Love is sunshine, sunshine through the rain

Living for the open road, there ain’t no turning round
It’s impossible to lose the love you’ve already found
Pack it in your backpack in the middle of your mind
They’ll come a time to let it out, let the road unwind

You’re free as a bird
In a dream that’ you’re awake in, there’s so much to take in
There’s freedom in these words,
If we say them together they can work…

Love is building, love is helping out a stranger out of any danger
Love is hopeful, love is an everlasting flame if we both feel the same
Love is sunshine, sunshine through the rain

I held a flower in the snow
That could never ever grow
And yet I can’t let go

I dealt my strongest hand and stood
To face the fear that could
Have broken me for good

The skies can’t contain my cries
When we made our goodbyes
We spoke only with our eyes
Is Love for a day better than chasing the ghost of a daydream?
Is Love for a day sweeter than years and years of a good routine?
Is Love for a day better than slowing down for a lifeline?
Is Love for a day sweeter than second best till the end of time?
‘till the end of time
Your hands like sculptured ivory
Were made for touching me
That precious memory

So hold me, hold me fast once more
The wolves are at these doors
My rescue is all yours

Your face, it burns into my sight
Each and every night
Just say I’ll win this fight
Is Love for a day better than chasing the ghost of a daydream?
Is Love for a day sweeter than years and years of a good routine?
Is Love for a day better than slowing down for a lifeline?
Is Love for a day sweeter than second best till the end of time?

Waking sudden to your face, I realise my heart is racing
Too many days without a word to wash the pain away
And I know that you know, we could have been so close
I know that you know I would have made the coast

A page in your parade

And I’m afraid, I’m afraid that I’ll be alone for so long again
In the rain, remember I ran around to catch the train
And I walked, I walked to the place as far as zebras cross
They’ll think I’m joking when I get home
That for once in my life, I felt a half instead of whole

Paint me a picture, a picture of lands
The summers that were. Or dust the cobwebs from my hands
Paint me a picture, a picture of lands

The summers that were. Or dust the cobwebs from my hands
And now do I belong? A page in your parade.
And now do I belong? A page in your parade.
