EPTIt's hard to be committed to it so I've decided I'll edit about five or so a day (in alphabetical order) and post them here to keep me on track... So I ought to have it done in two months! Any criticisms/edits/flames etc. appreciated ('cos it gives me an idea of what an audience is thinking), or post your own lyrics!
Song 1: 10 Year Thoughts
sometimes just to keep in touch
can come to mean much
i know you haven't been thinking of me though
after all this time apart
looking up to the sky when i was 12 on the fields
thinking about how great everything was going to be
i know it's too late for me now
but for you there'll still be hope
i'll leave if you really want me to
this is how much it hurts to know
you've been really nice to me though
all this time
thanks for being there
i wish i'd always been nice to you
and i'm sorry that i'm not anymore
life takes us on so many journeys
and i've strayed so far on the lonely road
Song 2: 1998
i made things so hard for you
but i still got to be your friend
somewhere back then
when my life restarted again
and sometimes i wish that i still knew you now
i always hold that hope with me in my heart
and sometimes you're all i remember from that time
each walk home reminds me of each hope lost
and here it starts to rain again
when my life starts to shine clearly again
i hope i'll get to see you again
i can't keep up with you anymore
and the life that you've chosen to take
i just pray that you'll be well
i just pray that you're smiling now
every moment when i used to see you
right from when you were still 13
when i didn't even know who you were back then
just the cute girl i always wish i knew
the one i always wished that i could talk to
Song 3: A Genuine Visitor
i would so love a genuine visitor
someone to come by and see if i'm getting along ok
and tell me about their lives
share the answers to their prayers
and this time on earth is so special
i just hope that you don't fall to sickness
or sadness
start each day by choosing love as your great quest
i wish i could thank you for the encouragement you've given
i'm so blind i can't even see my daily blessings
like the wonderfulness of you being alive with me
thank you for being here today
God will wipe our tears away
so full of grace that it saves my life
the life that i've made such a mess of
thank you for being such a reflection of Jesus' shining love
Song 4: Adelle
i'm sorry i kept trying to win your heart
even though i knew you didn't want me
i promise i'll try my best to be happy
if you promise that you will too
when you go through the gates
everything i've been meaning to say
i can't anymore
and you look back to wave goodbye
have to start trying to be optimistic again
without you nearby
so much to say
but you're so far away
reminding me of when i first saw you
i'm sorry we can't see each other anymore
i'm sorry i was such a bad influence in your life
Song 5: After All
wish that i could come up here with you someday
but you've let go
just like all the other friends i used to know
i guess i'll never know now
what it was like to have been with you
and i guess you'll never know
i loved you all along
but nevermind, so long as you are happy now
after all this time
and after all
isn't that all that really matters?
that you're gonna be ok
things are gonna be ok for you
i'm praying for you
