Coby Grant - Lyrics

		“COBY GRANT- FANFARE FOR LOVE” 4 TRACK EP RELEASED 25TH FEB 2010 I KNOW THAT I’LL KNOW Setting out upon my path and not knowing where it goes Leaving everything behind, leaving everyone I know It’s a widely known fact Such ventures can be hard on the soul But I know that I’ll know when I’ve come I know that I’ll know when I’m home Hoping only for the best and then expecting nothing less As misguided as it seems following only my dreams It’s a widely known fact That it is we who hold the key to set us free So I know that I’ll know when I’ve come I know that I’ll know when I’m home Choices won’t go away Decisions need to be made If I get one wrong I will learn and carry on I will not give up my hope I might falter but I won’t I do not believe I can’t there is faith within my heart There is faith here in my heart So although some time has passed I am holding strong and fast I am closer now I think to the wildest of my dreams It’s a widely know fact That all we need is to believe So I know that I’ll know when I’ve come I know that I’ll know when I’m home Yes I know that I’ll know when I’ve come I know that I’ll know when I’m home ONCE UPON A LONG GONE TIME I haven’t seen you in a while But that doesn’t stop me thinking about you We were once upon a long gone time But that doesn’t stop me thinking about you I know when you left what you said was true That it was for the best both for me and you I know you were cruel to be kind But that doesn’t stop me thinking about you At night or in the morning often without warning You’ll pop into my mind Awake or when I’m sleeping even in my dreaming At any given time I’m crazy for you I adore you So I’m telling you now That after all this time I still miss Being inside your arms It took a lot of my courage To tell you that I’m thinking about you So take your time but try to hurry Now you know I’m thinking about you Basically it has been a never ending thing I won’t lie I did try but you kept sneaking in So don’t leave me here to worry Now you know I’m thinking about you At night or in the morning often without warning You’ll pop into my mind Awake or when I’m sleeping even in my dreaming At any given time I’m crazy for you I adore you So I’m telling you now That after all this time I still miss Being inside your arms You stole my heart the world beneath me Fell apart when you did leave me You stole my heart it’s true But it belongs to you I’m crazy for you I adore you So I’m telling you now That after all this time I still miss Being inside your arms I haven’t seen you in a while But that doesn’t stop me thinking about you We were once upon a long gone time But that doesn’t stop me thinking about you JUMP I’m a dreamer of dreams, a believer in things I say what I mean and I mean everything I love when there’s love lost, I hope when it’s hopeless I’m honest at all costs and I’m someone someone trusts But you make me more than I could hope to be And you take me where I have never been Tonight we are falling into something that’s bigger than us Tonight we are falling into something that’s bigger than us Don’t think too much Don’t think just jump You have a busy mind, a watchful eye You never tell lies and you carry your pride You like to say up late, you never hesitate You love how I taste and you don’t believe in fate And you make me more than I could hope to be And you take me where I have never been Tonight we are falling into something that’s bigger than us Tonight we are falling into something that’s bigger than us Don’t think too much Don’t think just jump So slowly, slowly undress me Until I’m down to my bare self And then hold me, hold me so gently Until we forget everything else Don’t think too much Don’t think my love Tonight we are falling into something that’s bigger than us Tonight we are falling into something that’s bigger than us Don’t think too much Don’t think just jump WHEN I WAS YOUNG Miss Mary Mac Mac Mac All dressed in black black black With silver buttons buttons buttons All down her back back back She asked her mother mother mother For fifty cence cence cence… But nowadays that don’t buy you nothing I’m supposed to be a woman but I still feel like a girl Even though I’ve grown up tall I feel small in this big world The candles that I’m blowing are adding up as time goes by I used to wish to be a grown up now I miss the girl inside Oh those days of play dates in my friend’s back yard And sand pit spades, dress ups, potions, monkey bars Now we’re paying off our debt Dealing with our daily stress If I could just forget I’d go straight back to when I was young My boyfriend has just left me for a great job overseas I remember Johnny Abbott in grade five- he’d never leave My rent is overdue and my laundry’s piling up I don’t want to go to work today it all feels like too much Oh those days of play dates in my friend’s back yard Sand pit spades, dress ups, potions, monkey bars Now we’re paying off our debt Dealing with our daily stress If I could just forget I’d go straight back to when I was young And when I look at photographs and all that’s happened in the past I wish that I could take myself back there I like fairybread the best Make believe that I’m a princess Mum and Dad will tuck me in And give me a butterfly kiss Goodnight, Sleep tight Oh those days of play dates in my friend’s back yard Sand pit spades, dress ups, potions, monkey bars Now we’re paying off our debt Dealing with our daily stress If I could just forget I’d go straight back to when I was young “COBY GRANT IS IN FULL COLOUR” 5

that I can I’m learning the ways of the world one step at a time I’m learning the love and the hurt, the wrong and the right And I’m trying to be, the best that I can be For nobody else, nobody else but me I like to focus on the good stuff I like to think that I can be tough I like to hope that hope has it’s own sound I have a routine when I wake up I never drink all the tea in my cup And I don’t

beautiful face I can feel my heart beat in my chest And I hope that you will be the one to move next You’re a little shy but so am I I could spend all night wasting time I can almost taste your lips on mine You’re a little shy but so am I I like knowing that you like me too I like feeling like this wonderful and new I can see your heart beat in your chest Close your eyes and then we’ll figure out the rest You’re a little shy but so am I I could spend all night wasting time I can almost taste your lips on mine You’re a little shy but so am I Hardly breathing Just believing That this could be What I’m dreaming of Ba ba da da da When your dark hair falls into your eyes I can feel my heart beat with a warm delight When you move your hand to rest on mine I can feel my heart beat skip one or two times You’re a little shy but so am I I could spend all night wasting time I can almost taste your lips on mine You’re a little shy but so am I MUSIC When I get lost I know I can trust that I will find myself again In the words and thoughts in the notes and chords in the hopes that show me some rhythm Anytime I can’t decide on what needs to be said I remember the one thing that makes me want to sing till I am out of breath You… Get me out of bed go on our first date swim around my head keep me out too late You… Keep me warm at night and stay for a while help me when I cry and make me want to smile When I look for more when I want to talk when I need a friend around You take me for a ride make me feel alive and turn me inside out When I’ve had enough when I need to laugh you give the perfect sound Simply harmony brings me to my knees I can’t believe what I have found You… Get me out of bed go on our first date swim around my head keep me out too late You… Keep me warm at night and stay for a while help me when I cry and make me want to smile When I’m feeling alone I know you will bring me hope When I need to be free I float as you dance with me You… Get me out of bed go on our first date swim around my head keep me out too late You… Keep me warm at night and stay for a while help me when I cry and make me want to smile YOUNG LOVE In the start in the dark I didn’t know What you felt like on the inside, but the outside view was quite nice Then we spent days in bed and time went slow We started out adventure as we ventured out together Knowing only That our love was growing Young love, young love nothing quite the same Young love, young love it changes in a day Young love, young love doesn’t ask too much Young Love, young love I think we’re old enough To know that this is much more than just Young Love You would ride your old bike to my house And we’d walk down to the seashore and talk until the nightfall Then one day when you came you announced You would love me till forever so we ventured out together Knowing only That our love was growing Young love, young love nothing quite the same Young love, young love it changes in a day Young love, young love doesn’t ask too much Young Love, young love I think we’re old enough To know that this is much more than just Young Love All the time that’s gone by since you’ve been mine Has been nothing but amazing and you still drive me crazy When I catch you staring at my smiling softly I come over for a kiss and I know I could die like this Young love, young love nothing quite the same Young love, young love it changes in a day Young love, young love doesn’t ask too much Young Love, young love I think we’re old enough To know that this is much more than just Young Love PICTURE AWAY I never found the time What could I say You had the perfect line The perfect reason for me to stay I never thought about How I would feel today You said it would be alright if I Put your picture away I just let you in to play And here I am again Putting your picture away And I had figured out A place to keep my heart Taking the pictures down Is slowly taking me apart The flowers on my sill You picked them yesterday Your scent around me still as I Put your picture away I just let you in to play And here I am again Putting your picture away Oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m just a simple girl Oh oh oh oh oh oh As long as I’m free Oh oh oh oh oh oh You complicate it all By falling in love with me I just let you in to play And here I am again I just let you in to play And here I am again Putting your picture away “COBY GRANT ACOUSTIC” 11 TRACK DEMO CD RELEASED 2008 WHAT I’M MISSING I thought I was going steady I thought I had it under control I thought that I needed nothing And I knew everything I wanted to know But

Did I catch you in a dream, one that’s full of hope? And it’s written on your face You’d rather be anyplace anyplace else but here It’s going to be hard I’m not gonna lie and Although we’ll be apart I can see a time that We’ll live out the dream The dream that I’m leaving I’m leaving behind me Hold my hand Hold my hand Help me stand Cause I don’t know if I can go without you I promise you though I will come home If this is our last night I pray it never ends As wishful as it seems can we just pretend Hold me, baby Underneath underneath the soft star light And when you wake alone every other day In the moment you forget forget that I’m away Hold on to that And know I’m counting down, counting down till I get back Hold my hand Hold my hand Help me stand Cause I don’t know if I can go without you I promise you though I will come home I have to go Cause I need to know If I can make it on my own In my head It all makes sense Will you be patient while I’m gone Hold my hand Hold my hand Help me stand Cause I don’t know if I can go without you I promise you though I will come home SECRETS You turn to face me and I turn to face the wall You say “what’s wrong?” and I say “nothing at all” Then you go to sleep and it’s eating me up inside There’s tears on my cheek that I swallow with my lies Cause I got a secret and I’m keeping it from you And I don’t know how much longer that I can hide the truth I got a secret and I’m keeping it oh oh I’m a cheater and I cheated on you Everything was wonderful why did I ruin it all I can’t keep it to myself can’t handle anymore Should I tell you hard and fast or just bit at a time Should I make you a nice dinner and fill you up with wine? Cause I got a secret and I’m keeping it from you And I don’t know how much longer that I can hide the truth I got a secret and I’m keeping it oh oh I’m a cheater and I cheated on you It was so quick it happened fast I was drunk it didn’t last And I wish with every inch of me that I could take it back I went home and you weren’t there And I’ve held onto it with fear Knowing when I tell you, you’ll leave me in a flash And I’m sorry sorry sorry, I’m sory sorry sorry You turn to face me and I turn to face the wall You say “what’s wrong?” and I say “nothing at all” EVERYTHING I NEED Let’s go let’s go let’s get out of here Not tell a soul let’s just disappear What will we take? And where will we go? The best part of all is that I don’t know But I have everything I need, if you’re with me Let’s play let’s play Guessing games while we sing along o the sings we know on the radio At the end of each day We’ll sleep in the car underneath the stars and make love slow and close But where will we go? And what will we take? Just bring an empty bag for the memories we make I have everything I need, if you’re with me And I wouldn’t mind spending everyday until my days are done With you by my side starting from today cause you’re the one my love You’re the one I need I need To wake up next to you the truth is I cannot exist without it The way you look at me Tells me I’m exactly where I was always meant to be What will we take? And where will we go? The best part of all is that I don’t know But I have everything I need, if you’re with me Where will we go? And what will we take?
