Brightest Star
LYRICS
Here we are
You can open up your eyes
I hope you’re gonna like what you see
We can sit way up here
Where the city shines below, underneath the midnight glow
Just you and me
BRIDGE
Away from all the distraction
Away from all of the sorrow and fear
Away from all of the needless complication
I want it all to disappear
To get a sense of perspective
To get a sense of what is real
To show you what really matters to me
That’s why I brought you here
CHORUS
I want to thank you tonight
For loving me in spite
Of all the hurtful things I say and do
When I know that it’s not right
And I promise you I’ll try to be
More caring, more kind
And to tell you that I love you
At least once in a while
POST-CHORUS
Because it’s the truth
I need you to know
I find it hard to be romantic
But I just hope this proves to you
That what we have is magic
And I thought
We could choose the brightest star
And it can be ours
Forever
VERSE
I remember
The last time we were all together
Back in the Autumn
It’s not that long-ago
And I know it broke our hearts
It tore our world apart
Although the memories last a lifetime
It will never be the same
BRIDGE
But we’ve still got each other
We’ve still got all the time in the world
You’ll never have to suffer on your own
I’m so proud of you, and how you’ve coped
We need to keep moving forward
We need to keep holding onto hope
To see what really matters
To step away from the microscope
CHORUS
POST-CHORUS
MIDDLE 8
I wish we could stay up here
Hide away, never go back home
To all the madness
But I know, it’s not that easy
At least if I have you
We can stumble, through the darkness
Holding onto one another, til we find our guiding light
POST-CHORUS
END
ABOUT
Just Like Yesterday
LYRICS
VERSE
I remember when I met a girl
The most beautiful in all the world
I remember how in love I felt
Told you things I thought I’d never tell
I remember all of our first times
I want to live them all again
Go back to our simple life
We were both so happy then
I wish you’d just say what you mean
Not the lies you think I haven’t seen
I wish you’d just mean what you say
Fake “I love you”‘s then you walk away
CHORUS
I love you just like yesterday
Only now it’s in another way
I will meet a girl and she
Will only want to be with me
VERSE
I wish I hadn’t found the truth
Read the messages he sent to you
I’ve never felt so alone
Like you and me were years ago
I wish I hadn’t seen your hand
In the hand of another man
I wish I hadn’t seen your eyes
Light up brighter with the other guy
CHORUS
OUTRO
I’ll learn to be on my own again
Find my smile and then
I know that I’ll find someone
OUTRO

ABOUT
Behind Your Smile
LYRICS
VERSE
The sparkle in your eyes
Does nothing to conceal
The sorrow that you feel
The kindness of your heart
Fragile as a butterfly
Drifting in the dark
BRIDGE
And I look at you
And I see right through
The mask you hide behind
And I look at you
And I know it’s true
It’s eating you inside
PRE-CHORUS
But it’s just a way
To forget the pain
CHORUS
You ain’t fooling me
Cos I can feel it when you’re down
Feel it when you’re down
You can depend on me
Cos I will always be around
Always be around
VERSE<br
Talking with your friends
But all that you can hear
Is that voice inside your ear
Feeling safe and sound
But the help you really need
Is far beyond your reach
BRIDGE
PRE-CHORUS
But I’m worried now
You might slip away
I see you hide behind your smile
Pretending everything’s OK
But it’s just a way
To forget the pain
CHORUS
CHORUS
OUTRO
It was your time to go
Now you are free
And a peace came over
Over you and me
OUTRO
END
ABOUT
Forever Place
LYRICS
VERSE
I just want you to know
How perfect you are
I’ll always be with you
And I know that you’re scared
Well I’m scared too
I wish you could stay with me
CHORUS
I can’t believe the time has come
It kills me to say goodbye
Come over here don’t ever let them see you cry
Bad things happen sometimes
I can’t tell you why
POST-CHORUS
We’ll meet again in our forever place
VERSE<br
You belong with me
I wanna scream out loud
But no-one can here us now
We’ll be together again
In a peaceful world
In a magical universe
CHORUS
POST-CHORUS
You’re my angel
Angels never die
MIDDLE 8
I’ll send my arms
To keep you warm
In the cold nights
I’ll send heart
To keep you strong
Through the hard times
I’ll send my smile
Look up in the clouds
Blowing in the wind
POST-CHORUS
You will never be alone
In our forever place
You will never be alone
We’ll meet again
In our forever place
OUTRO
You will see me again
So remember my face
No-one can hurt us there
In our forever place

JOMO
LYRICS
INTRO
Gonna party on my own
Ain’t nobody gonna know
Gonna party on my own
Ain’t nobody gonna know
VERSE
I was imagining that I’m the guy who set the trend
And y’all wanna go where I go
But I sigh, ‘cos my reality is anxiety
That I might be the only one that don’t know
BRIDGE
So I’m logging out of Instagram ‘cos I just don’t give a damn
‘Bout the Photoshop highlights of your life
And I’m gonna ditch my phone and take a huge sigh of relief
‘Cos there ain’t gonna be no notifying me
CHORUS
You can all snap and share and I won’t know
I’m sure your night was “G.O.A.T” if you say so
It don’t matter what I wear if I don’t go
Because I just don’t care I got JOMO
INTRO
Gonna party on my own
Ain’t nobody gonna know
Gonna party on my own
Ain’t nobody gonna know
VERSE
Your working your best clothes
Breathe in and strike a pose
But don’t think we don’t know
There’s a thorn behind the rose
BRIDGE
So I’m logging out of Instagram ‘cos I just don’t give a damn
‘Bout the Photoshop highlights of your life
And I’m gonna ditch my phone and take a huge sigh of relief
‘Cos there ain’t gonna be no notifying me
CHORUS
And you can all snap and share and I won’t know
I’m sure your night was “G.O.A.T” if you say so
It don’t matter what I wear if I don’t go
Because I just don’t care I got JOMO
MIDDLE EIGHT
And I sit here if I wanna
Doing nothin’ if I wanna
Watch a movie if I wanna
Eat some fries if I wanna
And nothing’s gonna interfere with all these feels that I got right now
I might dance if I wanna
Jump around if I wanna
Get naked if I wanna
Rub my ***** if I wanna (*thing)
AD LIBS / CHORUS / OUTRO
And no-one’s gonna stop me having all the fun I’m ’bout to have right now
You can all snap and share and I won’t know
I’m sure your night was “G.O.A.T” if you say so
It don’t matter what I wear if I don’t go
Because I just don’t care I got JOMO
Ain’t no-one gonna stop my fun, I’ll do whatever I want
