[Verse] Moonlight flickers like a sold-out show Shadows dance where we used to go Your whispered promise now a ghost In the haze of smoke we loved the most [Chorus] Cigarettes burnin' out like stars Memories wrapped in golden bars In every drag there's a piece of you Gone without a clue [Verse 2] Midnight streets with echoes loud Lonely hearts lost in the crowd Every breath I take feels raw Like I’m inhaling who we are [Chorus] Cigarettes burnin' out like stars Memories wrapped in golden bars In every drag there's a piece of you Gone without a clue [Bridge] Ashes fall like broken dreams Inhaled whispers Silent screams Every ember holds a tale Of love that used to sail [Chorus] Cigarettes burnin' out like stars Memories wrapped in golden bars In every drag there's a piece of you Gone without a clue
storytelling emotional acoustic pop
English
The song evokes feelings of nostalgia, longing, and sadness. It captures the essence of reminiscing about a past relationship filled with warmth yet shadowed by the pain of loss.
This song could be effectively used in contexts such as a reflective moment in a film where a character is reminiscing about a lost love, in a playlist for break-up recovery, or during a cozy, intimate gathering where deep conversations about love and loss are taking place.
The song employs vivid imagery and metaphors, particularly with the recurring motif of cigarettes and stars, to convey the fleeting nature of memories and love. The structure is typical of pop with verses, a repetitive chorus, and a bridge that ties together the themes of loss and nostalgia.
In a cycle, round I spin, No escape, just where I've been, Day and night, the same old blend, A loop of time that won't extend. Hope a whisper, faintly fades, Shadows dance in endless shades, Stuck in circles, no way through, Seeking light but lost in blue.
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows Out on the road where the streetlights glow I don’t know no nothin’ 'bout no highs, I’m just low Had a few, yeah, thought I'd be fine on my own I'm at the edge, yeah, and I’m barely in control Grip the wheel, but man, I'm swerving on my soul From the party to the pavement, didn't think it’d take a toll This ain't a game, this ain’t a ride I want no more Woah-oh-oh This is how the story goes Woah-oh-oh But it doesn’t have to go this road I’m in the thick of it, everybody knows I told myself I'd handle it, the night’s cold But I don’t know no nothin' ‘bout these signs, I’m too bold Thought I’d make it home—so many stories left untold From the glass to the keys, to the crash, to the grief Where’s my pride? It’s buried under disbelief Thought I’d see another day, but what’s beneath? Now there’s nothing I can say to find relief See, I believe that if I’d just stopped that car I’d be here still, and no one would be scarred Smash through the silence 'cause I’m reaching for the truth For every life out there, for every dream and youth Woah-oh-oh This is how the story goes Woah-oh-oh But it doesn’t have to go this road
(Verse 1) When the nights feel long, and the days get cold, When I’m feeling lost, and I’m losing hope **Why God?** Is there a place for me, that I can call home? Is there anybody out there? I feel all alone **Why god?** **oh Why god?** (Chorus) Oh I’m crying out, can You hear my plea? Searching in the dark, can you come rescue me? Ooh god Oh I’m broken and im worn, feeling unworthy, Lift me from this pain, can you spare me some mercy Oooooh god Oooooh god (Verse 2) When the love feels distant, and the laughter fades, When the weight of rejection, leaves me feeling frayed, **Why God?** I reach for Your grace, in my shattered soul, Will You mend these wounds? Can You make me whole? **Why God?** **Why god?** (Chorus) Oh I’m crying out, can You hear my plea? Searching in the dark, can you come rescue me? Ohh god I’m broken and im worn, feeling unworthy, Lift me from this pain, can you spare me some mercy Oooooh god Oooooh god (Bridge) (Oh) You are my refuge when the storms arise, With every tear that falls, you by my side Thank you god Though family may stray, but your love still remains, In the silence of the darkest nights, I’ll call out Your name! Jesus Jesus (Chorus) Oh I’m crying out, can You hear my plea? Searching in the dark, can you come rescue me? Ohh God I’m broken and worn, feeling unworthy, Lift me from this pain, can you spare me some mercy? Ohh god (Outro) When the world feels heavy, and I can’t stand tall, I’ll lean on Your love, and I’ll give You my all, **My god** In my heart I believe, You’ll make me anew, Faithful and true you are, I’m trusting in You! In you god… In you god…

[Verse] Five years of loving strong through distance far and wide Our hearts beat in harmony oceans can’t divide Every call each laugh every tear we share Time can't fade the bond we have beyond compare [Chorus] Across the miles our love it rises high Connected by a thread under the same sky Novembеr 18th marks our journey true Five years down love forever I promise you [Verse 2] Late nights spent talking dreams and everything between Imagining I'm holding you in places we've never been Your voice it soothes my soul makes everything worthwhile One day soon I’ll close the gap and see your smile [Chorus] Across the miles our love it rises high Connected by a thread under the same sky November 18th marks our journey true Five years down love forever I promise you [Bridge] Distance is a challenge yes but love is greater still Every moment brings us closer just you know I will Cross the widest ocean climb the highest hill To be with you together our hearts always will [Chorus] Across the miles our love it rises high Connected by a thread under the same sky November 18th marks our journey true Five years down love forever I promise you
**"If They Have Each Other"** (A Parody of *If We Have Each Other* by Alec Benjamin) *(Verse 1)* The world’s got money, they’ve got the power, They buy the laws and control the hour, While we’re just here working for crumbs, As they sit in mansions, their fortunes numb. They got the best schools, the finest clothes, While we’re stuck paying off loans and woes, But they tell us, “Don’t worry, it’s all okay,” As their wealth keeps growing, and we lose our way. *(Pre-Chorus)* But the world’s not perfect, but it’s not that bad, If they’ve got each other and all that they have. They keep us divided, but we’re holding on tight, To dreams that they’re selling, while they win the fight. *(Chorus)* When the world’s not perfect, when the world’s not kind, If they have each other, they’ll be just fine. They don’t see the struggle, they don’t know the pain, 'Cause they’ve got their empire, and they stay in the game. But when the world’s not perfect, when the world’s not fair, If they have each other, they won’t even care. *(Verse 2)* They throw us a bone, say it’s all we deserve, Then laugh in their clubs with their gold reserve, They’ll tell us to hustle, to pull up our boots, While they pass down their fortune and drink from the roots. The system’s rigged, but they don’t seem to mind, As they climb higher, leaving us behind. But they’ve got each other, that’s all that they need, While we keep on begging, just trying to feed. *(Pre-Chorus)* But the world’s not perfect, but it’s not that bad, If they’ve got each other, they’ve got what they had. They say, “Don’t worry, just trust in the plan,” But the only plan’s for the rich, man, for the rich, man. *(Chorus)* When the world’s not perfect, when the world’s not kind, If they have each other, then they’ll be just fine. They don’t see the struggle, they don’t know the pain, 'Cause they’ve got their empire, and they stay in the game. But when the world’s not perfect, when the world’s not fair, If they have each other, they won’t even care. *(Bridge)* Oh, if they have each other, they’ll never see the tears, They’ll keep pulling the strings while we face our fears. It’s a broken game, but they’ll keep playing, As we fight for a chance, while they keep swaying. *(Chorus)* When the world’s not perfect, when the world’s not kind, If they have each other, then they’ll be just fine. They don’t see the struggle, they don’t know the pain, 'Cause they’ve got their empire, and they stay in the game. But when the world’s not perfect, when the world’s not fair, If they have each other, they won’t even care. *(Outro)* If they have each other, they’ll never look back, While we’re left to survive in this world they’ve cracked. It’s not perfect, no, it’s not kind, But if they have each other, they’ll never be blind. mmm, mmm, mmm
Every moment spent beneath the moonlight Whispers of your name dance in the night With every heartbeat I can feel the spark You're the rhythm baby lighting up my dark You're the melody that plays in my heart The sweetest tune that life could ever start With every note I know it's true The reason why I love you is written in the stars too Through the storms and the gentle rain You’re the sunshine breaking through my pain In a crowded room I hear your song A symphony guiding me where I belong You're the melody that plays in my heart The sweetest tune that life could ever start With every note I know it's true The reason why I love you is written in the stars too Oh let the universe conspire To keep our flames forever higher Together we'll dance unafraid to fall In this cosmic
The Ballad of the Aldbury 2024 Verse 1 Oh, gather ‘round and lend an ear, To tales of Aldbury’s finest year! With mishaps grand and stories tall, We’ll sing and laugh about them all. Chorus Oh, Aldbury’s a village where the fun won’t stop, From Heathrow keys to a Ryanair flop. We’ve got cracked hips, vodka sips, and candles that fail, It’s Aldbury life—let’s raise a pale! Verse 2 Rob Ray left his car a-runnin’, Three and a half hours, now ain’t that somethin’? Steve Webb’s keys, they went astray, In Heathrow’s car park while he flew away! Chorus Oh, Aldbury’s a village where the fun won’t stop, From Heathrow keys to a Ryanair flop. We’ve got cracked hips, vodka sips, and candles that fail, It’s Aldbury life—let’s raise a pale! Verse 3 At Christmas dinner, the jollies ran high, But five caught Covid, oh my, oh my! Sandra and Jeff saw fists take flight, As their Ryanair plane made a mid-air fright. Verse 4 David Demmery, he took a spill, On a blue ski slope, now he’s sitting still. And Annie packed shoes that didn’t twin, She’s walking through Cornwall in quite a spin ! Chorus Oh, Aldbury’s a village where the fun won’t stop, From Heathrow keys to a Ryanair flop. We’ve got cracked hips, vodka sips, and candles that fail, It’s Aldbury life—let’s raise a pale! Verse 5 Now George won’t leave his mortar and pestle, He grinds his spices with tourist hustle. Nikki Sharp left Dobbies unpaid, With Mum in tow, it’s a daring escapade! Verse 6 Barbara saw Clooney, right there in the ‘Ridge, While filming scenes by Ashridge Bridge. Rob took a hot run, then guzzled down, Sally’s vodka—oh, how he frowned! Chorus Oh, Aldbury’s a village where the fun won’t stop, From Heathrow keys to a Ryanair flop. We’ve got cracked hips, vodka sips, and candles that fail, It’s Aldbury life—let’s raise a pale! Verse 7 And Jeff lit a candle, “It’s volcanic!” he claimed, But it just burned plain, with no lava to flame. Oh, Aldbury’s folk are quirky and fine, In 2024, they’ve had quite the time. Final Chorus Oh, Aldbury’s a village where the fun won’t stop, From Heathrow keys to a Ryanair flop. With mishaps and laughter, we’ve told what we think, Here’s to Aldbury life—let’s raise a drink !
