It’s late and the night told you to think better of it some time ago But you just keep fighting…fighting… You keep forcing it, you keep holding on It’s time to let go, time to make the tough call Time to stop faking it all Cause if you want it you can get it but you need the drive And it seems so hard, when it brings you down, and it brings you down When all I wanted to find Was the spirit I’d lost And it’s feeling like the right time To try and dig it all out Break the everyday curse Of holding on to what hurts It sorta seems like you try to forget things Sometimes it seems you forget to care You know you’re not the only one with a little bit of soul ache Sometimes your aching don’t compare To everyone, who’ve got everything on their minds? And everyone who seeks but cannot find Well there’s a little ray of light of hope (I hope) And it comes in the shape of a whispered dream And in the midst of the colour scheme You can see it coming your way. When all I wanted to find Was the spirit I’d lost And it’s feeling like the right time To try and dig it all out Break the everyday curse Of holding on to what hurts

Ticket 04:34
If it takes all night, I will write this song that asks you why it is Always you that stays within striking distance of dreams You’re so vivid, that I would give it, everything if it were only real And I feel, like selling up my things I’ll buy a ticket and a ring So don’t ask me if I’m missing you Don’t ask me if I’m lonely too Cause if you go give me half a reason to I’ll pack my bags for Sicily and you So you’ve seen this world Followed the sun and bought the rays back here for everyone And I’ve moved, but not so far, But my head’s been everywhere you are Cause you’re always in it, and I’m beginning To think there is some place that I would rather be (so I could have you next to me) And there’s nothing I could bring but I’ll have a ticket and a ring When Santorini looks that way I hope that all the colours match your face So that when you make it back this way You could talk about a sunrise That I could see in your eyes once again
