<Verse 1> You said you want me to fly Well I want you to know you're taking me high. You gave back my life, So now I'm asking you will you be my wife? Your love gives me more than a little So I give back and meet in the middle, Oh...what more could I want? You are my family, I'm more than committed I love your front, your back, it's simple I am here for this beautiful bond. <Chorus> I give myself to you Whatever else you want me to Baby you're the love of my life And I can only tell the truth The best I ever fell into And baby I want you for my wife. <Bridge> Oooh love me my darling You brighten my day... You are what light is To finding your way. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] [Bridge]

<Chorus> Black and Blue Me and you The colours of our lives And all that we've been through <Verse 1> And baby I'd do anything for you And I know there's some things I can't undo It breaks my heart to know you've been so bruised But you know I carry a few scars to <Bridge> Holding on to you I feel brand new And baby when you look at me I see the stars in you Black and Blue <Verse 2> Colours of the night sky, blue stars, bright eyes Blacker than the dark matter in between the light I Revel in the shadow like the Devil in the night time Right time, I find something like a life line. And she's fine - like metal, like grime Hotter than the sunshine magnified I seen a lot of mad shit in my life But I never met a girl that blows my mind and that's bona fide Six years ago my life was in bits, I'd have happily died. That's the time I found a passion to rhyme And though I never looked back, I been trying to find Something that binds together. Aligns forever. Imagine living life when your mind is severed I mean I couldn't feel shit, like a bind, I never designed Life tethered in time, a blind endeavour. But at the end of it all it's you... And you changed the game, nothing remains the same If anybody ever caused you pain I'd slice their veins, ignite them in a ball of flames. You know I got you baby, I know you see me when I watch you baby. You're my girl, you're my queen, you're my lady. And I keep falling deeper daily... [Chorus] <Verse 3> And I want nothing but to be with you Day and night, making your dreams come true What I'm saying is it's you I choose But it's amazing that you choose me too [Guitar Solo] [Bridge]

<Chorus> The light that surrounds you I'm bound to be there for your grace Helpless around you Around you, pieces fall in place <Verse 1> Dark night, starlight Sitting on the grass that's park life Looking in your eyes for a green light Sounds of the river so I know I set the scene right. Something in the air Moonlight shine in your hair Been hurt in the past by love but right now I don't even care. So I lean in and when we come together something changes for me. It's an epiphany, it's clear to see you waited for me. When I am with you we skip through the issues And girl I know it's true, when we part I miss you. [Chorus x2]

Tryne keep my head and my money up, feeling like I might get violent. In a world where hope is a sucker punch, can I fight back with a light touch? Love my girl for her mind and her bubble butt, with the gold touch like Midas, But I struggle to exist with the upper crust, chains on my wrists like Silas. My Isis, mother of my child, she's a subtle drug, keeping me alive giving guidance. Imma take it all in like a shutter bug, keep her in my sight like the Silence. Watch her from the front and the back, see we double up, come a long way since blind lust. Still she loves when I squeeze on her honey bun, ride her in the dark like the night bus. She is the one, holding me down when I need to succumb, Holding me up when I'm feeling undone, holding me tight she can see when I'm done. Knowing I might be a leader but frightened I feel her, I cry when I been overrun, She's by my side when I need her to fight with the reaper her light is like she is the sun. Imma be on her like Samurai code Music for the soul like Paradise Road It ain't black and white like a magpie's coat But it's sweet as a nut like a Pad Thai bowl. Light in the dark light cat's eyes, Couldn't find a flaw if I put her under black light. And I don't wanna be that guy, But she makes noise when I press her, like a bagpipe. <Chorus> She is what light is to finding your way... We built this island now I want to stay... <Verse 2> Kill for her like Walter White But I'm Opie now so I'm born to ride. Like-minded, our thoughts combine, we wanna see change like Shonda Rhimes. Wanted to die but now I'm all for life, she's a strong-ass woman like Lorelai, Both like shit from the older times so now we bringing it back like Cobra Kai. Open eyes and I'm froze in time. Open thighs and she blows my mind And I fit just right like a spoken rhyme and we ride the waves like an ocean tide. I know she's mind but I worry, like I never wanna lose her, she's my chosen wife. Feeling her forever when I close my eyes She loads my mind, I can't lose...loaded dice. And with our little girl we're home and dry And our souls survive on overdrive. I'm staying right here til closing time, when we're old and tired and we're going blind, You know I'll still clap that like an open mic and she'll be riding me like a motorbike. Nothing is a given I won't throw the fight But I'll be loving this woman til my soul expires. [Chorus] What light is... What light is...

Be With You 04:00
<Verse 1> A trip to visit Egypt's tombs See the truth of Greek myths too Cruising with a steam ship's crew, my love No, I would rather be with you The Alps mountain peaks in June Soaking up the ski lift views Make all my childhood dreams come true, oh no I would rather be with you. <Chorus> There's nowhere else for me Than here by your side I searched for you since I was seventeen You're the light of my life...oh <Verse 2> Enough to buy a king's crown new Ferrari and a big house too A private island in Laos, ooh no no It's all worth nothing without you. Without you....without you I don't know what I could ever amount to Does that sound screwed? Well girl it's true I am stronger just for being around you. [Chorus]
6.
Find It Hard 04:37
<Verse 1> I know sometimes you find it hard To live in the moment The world has dragged you through some times When living felt hopeless Engulfed by its coldness It's harder to focus And everyone's waiting for you to make progress. <Verse 2> You know sometimes I find it hard To live with the lowness I'm fighting demons in my mind Sometimes smiles are a bonus Surviving's a process Stay strong like a lotus I rise and I fall like the tides of the ocean <Verse 3> We face our demons together And lean on each other This may not be our world but we Understand one another So I'll be your buffer]And you'll give me cover And we'll find our way through the times when we suffer

Saved Me 03:28
<Verse 1> Only you are crazy enough to Love me baby like you do With all the pain and shit we've been through I want nothing but to be with you <Bridge> Ahh.. and I've never been a night owl Wanna have you every day and every night now And I promise everything will be alright now Everything I ever wanted's in my sight now. Anyone who ever hurt you better pipe down They don't wanna come and try me in a fight now Cos I'm nice now... But if they ever try touch you I will rip their fucking spine out! <Chorus> Maybe I made you baby But I was nothing til you gave me life. So maybe you made me But there's no question that you saved me... There's no question that you saved me... Saved me...saved me... <Verse 2> You know I watch you from the back It's too good there's no way I designed that What you are, yeah I try to define that What you do, I never thought I would find that. Yeah we know you look better than me in my hat And you make me laugh, but I make you "laff" And in a few months you managed to crack What I spent my whole life struggling to unpack. See you managed to find me Not a part or some kind of refined me You were able to analyse and unwind me And you helped me be the things that define me. That's why I'm saying that you saved me You're my soulmate, yeah you're my lady I know we joke that I made you baby But the truth of it is that you made me [Chorus]

<Verse 1> I thank the universe when I wake up with you With no stuff to do So then I cuddle you, this morning time is underused You're sweet like honeydew, the start of Will like 'W' The best way to start the day, no need to struggle through. Stare into your eyes, see the subtle hue Listen to you breathing as I'm touching you. Our baby girl waking, now she's rushing through Bursting in the door and her energy fills up the room. And I am thankful for this feeling, that's the utter truth, Seems like only yesterday depression made our troubles huge. But now we share a vibe that only lovers do Every day's a blessing and your presence is my comfort food. So then we set the world to rights over a couple brews ready for the day ahead, dressed then we lace up our shoes. The Earth is outside but my world is in this humble room Wouldn't change a thing, I love my girls like a summer tune. <Chorus> Day and night I'm thankful that we make it through Our family is everything we pay our dues. And there is nothing...nothing I'd rather do Than stay with you, and spend a day with you. <Verse 2> Town or the countryside the day will have a sunny vibe I love our life, flying higher than the London Eye. Hit the beach chasing sea glass and butterflies Then sit and watch the waves as the seagulls flutter by. Tale a city break, doing all that stuff we like, Vegan food, urban views, little culture finds. Or maybe take our little girl out somewhere nice Let her jump and climb while we sit and eat a couple sides. And when the day is done we run the vibes Put our girl to bed and have some couples time That could be food, games, movies or that bump and grind Every way I'm happy and I know that I'm a lucky guy. It's everything I hoped that I would one day find Sometimes I have to pinch myself to know that I'm not out my mind. I step back and eat a little humble pie, Who needs all the riches when your people make the colours shine? [Chorus]
