Rewind
 

Sail down the river to the place

Where the blue ocean meets it on its face

I'll be there waiting for you

We'll watch the sunset on the horizon

 

And rewind the tape

Remember how it felt

Being in love

Without chains.

We could be the ones that got away.

 

Back in the city it seems

All we keep doing is keep running

You've got no time for me

I've got no time to sweep you off your feet

As we keep growing old

I understand it's not too easy

Keeping up with the flow

Let's finish work then meet for the sunset.

 

And rewind the tape

Remember how it felt

Being in love

Without chains.

We could be the ones that got away.

​

 

Coming Home

​

I sit

And without looking,

I find you in things

From

 

everyday

N I'm swimming

In loving memories

 

Of the role you

played

As a mother,

a sister, wife and friend

 

I sit

and without meaning to

i find myself stuck for hours on end.

 

Coming home

in a way I didn't dream to

Coming home

to a home you left in half

Coming home

to everyone in despair

Coming home

to say my last goodbye.

 

we shared

little stories of your love

of how you'd smile and care

 

we gave a bit

of ourselves away

to be with you

 

everywhere

that you go now

who's gonna keep a track

 

of the little things

including sanity

we took for granted in your presence.

 

Coming home

will never be the same

Coming home

to people who have changed

Coming home

to just a picture of you

Coming home

to wish to see you soon.

Cherry Summers
 

Step inside

Steal the cold away

it's so nice

to have you all to myself

 

I've waited a long time for a sign

clichéd but true, you’re paradise.

 

cant help wonder,

what it is about you baby

cherry summers and

a thousand winters I’ve been waiting

do you see how you got me lost? No!

 

step inside

color all my grey

it's just so nice

to get to see your face.

 

You got me in bound in like a curse

this love/crush got me writing verse.

 

cant help wonder,

what it is about you baby

cherry summers and

a thousand winters I’ve been waiting

do you see how you got me lost? No!

Rising Up

​

its been a while

since i been home for the night

lost my self i kept out of sight

no one missed me, not even I

i was so damn busy being unkind

 

gotta say i thought

i was easy to please

turns out i was almost diseased

no one noticed, not even I

I was so damn busy being blind.

 

Chorus:
i settle down i ease into my soul

shining brightly, now I’m in control

cutting out self doubt, I shed the mould

rising up isn’t easy but now I’m going home

 

i am riding shotgun with me at the wheel

noticing now everything has appeal

i think i missed me, trapped in denial

Now i am so damn busy flying high.

 

Chorus

Bridge/Ending

i'm dancing through days a little slower

breathing gently, I’m softening intentions

no pretending, faking or inhibitions

living how I was supposed to be….

​

​

Parachutes

​

stay quiet

we're on high speed

there's trouble

in paradise.

 

dont panic

everything's not lost

we're sparks in

the starry skies.

 

we could fly up&up

against the world

i got our parachutes

i wont let you go.

 

o old friend

our feet wont touch the ground

we'll be miracles

champions of the world!

 

the clocks tick

and hypnotise the world

while we fill our heads with

ghost stories and dreams.

 

there's magic,

in everyday life

we'll reign with love

on strawberry swings.

 

i'll try to fix you

if there's a rush of blood into your head

all my love, Biutyful

is coloratura in my head/till the end.

Lament of Zombies on a Leash (The Walking Dead)

​

no one said anything till i died

now I am in chains, and I have all the time

now if they say something to me

all i can say back is kkhakakakahaakkhaaaaaaa

 

they cut my hands down from the wrist

so I cant scratch them, or claw into their skins

but what if i meet a gypsy on the road

how will they read my palms and tell me my life's beautiful?

 

though i dont have to worry about bills

it isnt all that different from life with degrees and all my skills

i don't miss making small talk or the gym

fuck the leg days and diets, i say khahahakabaahgag and keep it moving

 

and they dont know i'm speaking

from my heart thats not there anymore

cant even control my drooling

disgusting maggoty flesh and bones.

 

i dont really mean it

when i'm drowning in my neighbour's blood

i just dont know what i'm doing

just like we lived for years on earth.

Superheroes

 

For as long as I remember,

we have been the same.

Hearts beating together,

nothing could make us change

 

Waking up early to play

tag with us on Sundays,

double shifts so we could learn

chess and cricket and the drums,

 

You were

there in sickness and in health,

when all I needed was a friend,

impromptu brunches, still in bed,

teaching not to be misled

 

You are

my superheroes.

 

For as long as I remember,

I was yours, you were mine.

But in fighting my own battles

Have I left you behind?

 

Rushing me before the dawn,

a minute late, and the bus would be gone,

making sure that I was safe,

when I partied on weekends

 

You are

my superheroes.

 

For as long as I remember 

you wouldn't let me feel blue.

My forever wondrous mentors,

here's to you, thank you.

 

 

Happy New Year
 

now that we're near the end of this year

i find myself thinking about you again

could we've had a much different tale?

do you wonder too when each year ends?

 

now it is time for time to slow down

to think about you with no one around

figure out how i'll take on next year

without you my love, till snow appears.

 

and nobody knows how anything works

we're all just litte flecks of dust

for two of us to meet and light a real spark

is rare to see- have we lost our shot?

 

everybody knows how moving on works

so why do I feel like i'm stuck ?

as with all goodbyes, I want this year to pause

or else its another year without my love

 

now that its time for family and friends

why do I feel bare boned again?

all (that) I need is indifference

how long can I keep up this pretense?

 

and nobody knows how anything works

we're all just litte flecks of dust

for two of us to meet and light a real spark

is rare to see- have we lost our shot?

 

everybody knows how moving on works

so why do I feel like i'm stuck ?

as with all goodbyes, I want this year to pause

or else its another year without my love

 

here’s to this year

I’ve made it around the sun again alone

A happy new year

to me, to you my love.

 

 

BodyTalk

​

I'd call unknowingly

You'd know before I do.

Even if we're  over,

habits don't die soon.

 

My eyes don't blink as much

as my brain strays to your eyes.

As our bodies did all the talking

I couldn't spot the lies.

 

Should I hold on to bits of you like

flaky leaves on winter trees?

I'll run away 

I've made my choice

but my feet are slowing down.

 

What a waste of time.

What a waste of time.

What a waste of time.

What a waste of time.

What a waste of time.

​

SRK

​

Back when we thought there so much to watch on the tv

But it was just dd1 dd2 no MTV

He went from being one of us to reach the stars in the heavens

Making sure 'SRK' won hearts of millions of people.

 

Chorus:

Everybody needs to feel like a hero sometime

Dancing and singing and jiving- the star of their show

And he's been out there, working his magic a lifetime

Inspiring the hero in everyone, again and again.

 

Now that we've grown there is so much to watch on the tv

The world is connected but losing yourself is so easy

The Badshah of Bollywood’s still holding strong through the seasons

Being humble and kind can defy every one of our reasons.

 

Chorus:

Everybody needs to feel like a hero sometime

Dancing and singing and jiving- the star of their show

And he's been out there, working his magic a lifetime

Inspiring the hero in everyone, again and again.

 

Bridge:

On days you feel down, take a look around

King Khan has had to play the villain too

But comebacks are what  makes life so sweet

One moment you're down, the next you're past defeat.

 

End chorus:

Everybody needs to feel like a hero sometime

Dancing and singing gyrating- the star of their show

And he's been working his magic even through halftimes

Making us feel what we needed - a hero everyday.

Goodbye

​

I left the city to be a better man

but better man eludes me still

you picked the city to be a better man

but better man eludes you still

 

when we were children, did we ever think

figuring ourselves out would be a problem?

when in our twenties, did we ever think

time would come to feel so heartless?

 

so when we meet, lets sing our songs out loud

whiskey in hand, forget all the words and hum

 

we end up talking once every few months

I don't have much to say

life overlapping is a thing of the past

you don't have much to share.

 

now that we're older, do you ever think

we're better at life in general?

should we remember to tell all the kids

how friendships work at a distance?

 

and when we meet, lets sing our songs out loud

whiskey in hand, forget all the words and hum

​

​

Goodbye

 

We started out with our edges unfurled.

Now we're standing still over the years.

Like books on shelves by naked windows,

gathering dust all through the years.

 

The people pass, pushing through time.

We watch them go through slitted eyes.

With the morning sun, they seem to die.

Never alive, broken in time.

 

I'm here to say goodbye,

to times that I cannot deny.

I'm going back myself,

running through the empty sky.

 

Convinced that I could never see clear

I mistook you for someone else.

And then you came all rushing back,

I couldn't stop blaming myself.

 

Now we're boats on empty waves

far from shore, where people rest.

With the morning sun, I seem to die.

Buried in, you and your smile.

 

I'm here to say goodbye,

to times that I cannot deny.

I'm going back myself,

running through the empty sky.

I'm here to say goodbye,

to myself from tonight

I'm going into myself,

keeping our love alive.
