Lyrics

Shipwrecked

Never thought I’d sail in paradise 

Didn’t think I’d be a castaway 

Always thought I’d know which way to go 

Never thought I’d lose my way 

Then one day I ran aground 

Found myself stranded on the sand 

Searched high and low and shouted loud 

But found no one to hold my hand 

 

How did I get washed up in this bay 

Did you think it would end any other way 

Now all I can do is pray 

That my ship will come one day 

 

I’m shipwrecked 

 

I should have cried an ocean 

But I can barely shed a tear 

Marooned inside my own mind 

Frozen by my fears 

 

I close my eyes and see my life get washed away 

Can’t stand the thought of being here for another day 

All the colours in the sky turned to grey 

I can only hope my ship will come one day 

 

Oh shipwrecked 

 

Close my eyes, shed a tear 

Your voice is all I need to hear 

Hide away for another year 

Not knowing when you will be here

What Makes You Tick Inside

I thought I'd paid my dues 

Never thought you’d turn the truth around to suit yourself  

Did I lose faith in you? 

You know that’s not true, I thought I told you how I felt 

 

but

 

You only hear what's in your head 

Not the words I really said 

 

What makes you really feel that you are flying high 

What make you really think that you can touch the sky 

I never figured out what made you run and hide 

I’ll never understand what makes you tick inside  

 

Thought I knew you, I was wrong 

(Precious time I wasted)

Was I just there to play along with you and waste my time? 

 

You are the centre of it all 

You have a long, long way to fall 

 

What makes you really feel that you are flying high 

What make you really think that you can touch the sky 

I never figured out what made you run and hide 

I’ll never understand what makes you tick inside 

 

Time and time again you’re not to blame 

But since you’ve gone my life has really changed  

 

Is this really how it ends? 

Is this how you treat your friends? 

I’ll never understand your ways 

Guess there’s nothing more to say

Until The Oceans Rise

Love is deep, love is strong

Love like ours belongs

Here inside this book, these pages

Are all the things that we’ve been through

And I am here to read them to you


If there are fears in your mind

If there are tears in your eyes

There’s one thing that we decide

To love until the oceans rise


I close my eyes and see your face

An ever present part of my life

Everytime I look at you

I disappear into your eyes 

Take my hand we’ll leave together

I’ll hold you till the oceans rise

Until it’s time to say goodbye


Do you believe what’s in your mind

What can you see before your eyes

There’s no way that I can hide

I’ll love you till the oceans rise


If there are fears in your mind

If there are tears in your eyes

There’s one thing that we decide

To love until the oceans rise



Satellites

My life has been a roller-coaster ride

Up and down and

Side to side

I never really stopped to wonder why

I took it for granted

All of the time


Now I want to be here for you

I want to see this thing through


I’m trying hard to be what you need

Strong and fearless

So you can succeed

Just be the person that you want to be

Full of forgiveness

Not like me

Now I want to be here for you

I want to see this thing through

I know that it’s insanity

And not the kind of thing that I believe

But I pray that I will get to see

All the things a father should see


I just want you to know

Don’t be afraid to let your feelings show

Look up high…

I’ll be there for you.


There will be a satellite

Looking down from high up in the sky

With smile you’ll recognise

You know it’s never really goodbye
