Lyrics-
‘Our Flame’
I put oil on our fire, just a drop every night
cause' I get scared of what’ll happen, if it doesn’t stay alight
and at this stage it only flickers, and it leaves me feeling torn
cause' to have it is so comforting, but it doesn’t keep me warm
and I think back to the days when it would blaze all on its own
it’s such a haze in many ways, but I remember it felt like home
and I’ve tried to be real careful, making sure the flame sticks around
but deep down I know well, it’s better off letting it just go out
I put oil on our fire, try to make it a little stronger
try to make it a little brighter, make it last just a little longer
Oh I guess that if it has to wilt away so soon, so be it
it’s sad that we had everything but simply didn’t see it
cause’ it was beautiful you know
oh it would melt the coldest snow
and it was red and blue and gold
and somehow it didn’t show that it was fading
and now I’m tryna figure out if it’s worth saving
Cause’ I put oil on our fire just a drop every night
just enough to keep us on the verge of barely getting by
and you still act like you don’t notice and I know I should ask why
but I know exactly what you’d do, you’d sit there and you’d sigh
and then you’d make me feel like I’m the problem
and then I’d probably cry
and then you’d feel bad and say you’re sorry
and then you’ll say you’ll try
and we’ll go round and round like broken records
and I'll keep pouring fuel on embers
we'll hold on tight to us
when it’s so damn obvious
that our flame is dead
but we play pretend that we don’t know
and I love you still
maybe I always will
but I have to go

Lyrics:
Isn’t it funny, how everything unravelled as it has
Cause now I’m sittin’ here and looking back
At when the time was slowly passin’
But now everybody’s laughin’
Ain’t it funny how that happened
Smooth as honey
Not sure if I believe in stars aligning
But there’s something pretty weird about the timing
If I only knew
That I’d be led to you
And I’ve been told I think too much about this stuff
But I can’t help but wonder, was it fate or was it luck?
Cause what if
What if that morning you slept in
What if you’re taxi didn’t show
Or what if halfway through the trip you didn’t know which way to go
If I decided to stay back and brush the floor
Or what if I just started driving but forgot to lock the door
If I decided not to go cause I just wasn’t feeling well
Or I’d to pull in off the road
I couldn’t pass, a tree had fell
I’d probably still be all alone with nobody to call
If something somewhere happened and we never met at all
Isn’t it funny, how everything unravelled as it did
I was lonely, I was only just a kid
And life was so uncertain
Let me down and left me hurtin’
But you lifted off the burden
Made it sunny
All the rain clouds
All of my doubts ran away
I used to long for every moment but today
But I made it through
Cause I met you
And it’s probably true I think too much about this stuff
But I can’t help but wonder, was it fate or was it luck?
Cause what if
What if that morning you slept in
What if you’re taxi didn’t show
Or what if halfway through the trip you didn’t know which way to go
If I decided to stay back and brush the floor
Or what if I just started driving but forgot to lock the door
If I decided not to go cause I just wasn’t feeling well
Or I’d to pull in off the road
I couldn’t pass, a tree had fell
I’d probably still be all alone with nobody to call
If something somewhere happened and we never met at all
If we never met at all
What if we never met at all
I’d still be lonely feelin’ small
And I’d have nobody to call (if we never met at all)
If something somewhere happened and we never met at all

LYRICS:
They’d ask you what you’d like
And you’d say what my sister’s having
Same new bike, same new shoes
When you were 4
And I, 6 or 7
Always right, in your eyes
And oh I led the way with pride those years ago
It turned to night
Close out the door
Curl up in bed
But leave on the light
We’d read books
You’d read yours and I’d read mine
But I’d help you with the words you didn’t know
Oh I still see you at the edge of your bed
With your freckles and those curls on your head
I never thought I’d learn so much from you
And for the most part I’m just proud
But I guess a part of me just thought it’d always be the other way around
I never thought I’d learn so much from you
I guess I thought I knew it all
I’m sorry I’m just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small
They’d ask you what’s your name
And you’d look at me and you’d stand behind
See you were shy the year that you were turning 7, I was 9
But you soon grew to be quite talkative and grew to be quite sure
Doesn’t seem all that long ago when we were both sat on the floor
When we drew pictures of the places that we’d visit in our dreams
Turned into stories, then to poems when you were 12 and I 14
The year I realised I wasn’t always right, and that one hurt
I always thought that I knew more, and that was just the way it worked
Cause I still see you at the edge of your bed
With your freckles and those curls on your head
I never thought I’d learn so much from you
And for the most part I’m just proud
But I guess a part of me just hoped it’d always be the other way around
I never thought I’d learn so much from you
I guess I thought I knew it all
I’m sorry I’m just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small
And I know I’m probably sounding selfish
I probably sound a fool
Cause of course I want the whole world wide and open for you too
I was just much better as a younger older sister
I hope that it’s okay that for a moment I just missed her
But I know how far you’ll go
I don’t know it all
But I know it’s lovely who we are
Though it lovely who we were when we were small

Lyrics:
She was my age and moved to England and became a nurse
Moving far away with her older sister on November 1st
And her mother didn’t want her to go
But she stood her ground ‘til she couldn’t say no
Only my age she moved to England and became a nurse
How times have changed she tells me
The good old days go far too quickly
And although she talks with pride
I see the sadness in her eyes
And it all comes in bits and pieces
All the people that she misses
I forget you see, that she was young like me
She had fun like me
She has family that are gone now
And I guess that it just hit me
That even when it’s full of love
The past is hard to carry
He was my age and he was young and he was free
It’s hard to believe that my grandad was once 18
And he worked hard, needless to say
He had to travel far and there were bills to pay
But he was my age with lots to learn and lots to see
How times have changed he tells me
The good old days go far too quickly
And although he’s often quiet
There’s a story in the silence
Like how he got light from candles
Walked to school, no socks, no sandals
I forget you see that he was young like me
He had fun like me
He has history that is gone now
And I guess that it just hit me
That even when they’re full of love
Memories are heavy
Memories are heavy
Memories are sharp
They live inside our photos
They live inside our hearts
They wander around the towns and all the places that we go
They live in different sounds and all the faces that we know
I hope that when I’ve listened to all the tales they’ve told
I’ve helped to carry some of the load

Lyrics:
Once upon a time I was a Baker
And everybody was impressed
But I didn’t need approval because I already knew I was the best
Everything I made was a masterpiece
It all taste like heaven
But then unfortunately I turned 7
Once upon a time I was a Painter
And everybody said “wow”
“Girl you’re so clever, you’re so talented”
And I agreed and I stood proud
I painted mountains
I painted blue lakes
I painted people
I drew portraits
But then I drew my dad and held it up beside him
And I realised that it looked nothing like him
And part of me wished nobody had told her
But I guess it's just a part of getting older
Once upon a time I was a runner
I was the fastest in the town
And they’d all say nobody will out run her
Cause she’s the fastest girl around
Once upon a time I was a dancer
It took no effort
I was a Scientist, I was an expert
I was a genius and I thought nothing of it
Until they told me that I wasn’t
And part of me wished nobody had told her
But I guess it’s just a part of getting older
When you learn
You’re supposed to follow perfectly inside of the lines
And you’re supposed to win at least a couple hundred of times
Before you even have the right to think or say or show you’re any good at all
They’ll tell you that there’s only one right way, one paved path
Or you’ll make a fool of yourself and everyone will laugh
They’ll make you feel like everybody’s waiting there to watch you as you fall
They sigh, they tell me I’m a dreamer
They say ‘someone’s gotta wake her’
But I’ll just smile, I’ll say
Once upon a time I was a baker
