Rain 04:40
We crawl forward too slowly, you know it's not worth trying, Words flow like infants made poems, walls grow and I'm done climbing. Although snow will melt in the glow of a new sun that goes on rising You won't leave your home, it's too cold and you won't stop crying. I know dark times will come, but they'll go all the same, So don't run off when it rains cos the sky's sure to change. I know you said move on but I won't walk away, So don't freak out when I stick in with you all the way. Sitting in the sun, waiting for the rain to come. We crawl forward too slowly, you know it's not worth trying, Words flow like treacle through a lazy river, walls grow and I'm done climbing.

I'd drive away and lose you but I'm without a car, Moved on for a change but I wouldn't move far, You're the stone that's in my shoe, you're the ache in my head, Leaving would be right but I turn left instead. I feel excited, feel unsteady, feeling ready to burst, I've got desire within me but so deep it hurts, It's time to leave behind the legacy of all my doubters, I'm gonna take on the world and see how it counters. I know that when we're alone you let the carrot flowers grow, So let the flowers grow, and let the flowers grow. When all my coaches and acquaintances fly away, That's when I'll know that today is not my day, When all my dreams are repetitions of mistakes I've made, That's when I'll know that the day is underway. The left controls the right, controls the left, controls the right, Like it says on the tin, indescribable. The right controls the left, controls the right, controls the left, Like the words from my pen, unexplainable.

about

My new double-single "Rain / Drive Away And Lose You" is an exploration of uncharted territory in terms of songwriting and production choices. I tried to go the extra mile with these tracks and I am very pleased with the results.
