Song lyrics

1. Purple Roses

On a train ride going somewhere, anywhere

Thinking 'bout all sorts of things, and nothing

Looking out the window, not expecting to see you

Yet there you were, as I passed by, purple roses

Your majesty, regality, and mysticism

Right next to this old railway tracks

Collecting dust and grime while looking so fine

Just a glimpse, now you're captured in my memory, purple roses

Once upon a time

A few moments or years before today

You haven't existed in my world

I didn't pay you any attention

Now you've insinuated yourself into my waking hours

I found myself wishing you could penetrate my dreams

Your uncommon hues

Occupied my mind and fantasies

You're dark and intense, yet pale and airy too

What do I do

When I see you?

As the clock struck midnight, it's now third november

The very thought of you can make me smile

I'd be on a train again somewhere, anywhere

And there you'd be, as I pass by, purple roses

2. Missing You

I was myself before I met you

Bored with life, sad at everything

Aimless with nothing much to live for

Then you appeared without a warning

Showed me what I've been missing

And now every day I'm missing you

I miss you like a song misses the note

When it's sung the wrong way all this while

Missing you is like a physical pain

Like a vein that bleeds without a wound

I was ambitious before I met you

Wanted everything, needed nothing

Clueless as to why I was chasing things

Things people said I should have in life

You showed me nothing lasts forever

Now from day to day I'm missing you

I miss you like the earth misses the rain

When it's hit by drought for months on end

Missing you is like a physical pain

Like a vein that bleeds without a wound

I wore tinted glasses before I met you

Rose-colored, they obscured my sight

My world looked warm and perfectly fake

Everybody was moving at the same pace

You showed how differently I could've lived

Now, today, this moment I'm missing you

I miss you like a flower misses the sun

When it's been in the shade for too long

Missing you is like a physical pain

Like a vein that bleeds without a wound

3. Let's Talk Tomorrow About Tomorrow

I'll see you when I see you

Don't miss me too much when I'm gone

That's what I always say

But I don't mean what I say

You should know better than to forget me

As soon as you don't see me

Don't turn around when I'm still confused

Don't leave me when you're bored

I'm someone who wanna know what I'll have to face tomorrow today

You're someone who brushes me off and say let's talk tomorrow about tomorrow

Days passed by and we still remain where

We were back when we first met

Must I tell you everything inside my heart

For us to move past this line

I like you I want you I love you

It's not hard for me to declare

Words can be so simple

But feelings are harder to define

I'm someone who wanna know what I'll have to face tomorrow today

You're someone who brushes me off and say let's talk tomorrow about tomorrow

This fluttering in my heart

Is difficult to explain

Is it just an illness or something more

How do I know for sure?

How our happiest days can turn into the sharpest moments in my memory

Everything that used to be precious now cut the deepest to the bone

I'm someone who wanna know what I'll have to face tomorrow today

You're someone who brushes me off and say let's talk tomorrow about tomorrow

But tomorrow is the new year

Maybe it's already too late

We're frozen in our cocoons and

There's no easy way to break out

The most important words are

The ones I won't hear you declare

Why don't we just take the easy way out and remain friends until the end

I'm someone who wanna know what I'll have to face tomorrow today

You're someone who brushes me off and say let's talk tomorrow about tomorrow

I'm someone who wanna know what I'll have to face tomorrow today

You're someone who brushes me off and say let's talk tomorrow about tomorrow

4. Your song

This harsh wind I'm weathering

The rain falls on my face unbidden from the skies

I'm standing alone facing an immense space ahead

The side of my feet hurt after walking so far

Why must I keep worrying about all the wrongs and rights

When the choices are all mine to make?

Even if my heavy feeling became an unwanted gift

This fragile heart of mine is yours to break

But when I look into your eyes all I see is hesitation

Stepping on, I reach out for you again

The blood that I've bled

The vows that I've pledged

The tears that I've shed

The smiles that I've shared

The life that I've led

The recklessness I wear like a badge

Crouching at the edge

Gazing up ahead

Teetering on this ledge

Confusion in my head

Driven by a wedge

Held together by a thread

Pour the abstract in my heart, paint my story in black and white

Our restless footsteps echoed in the hallway

This October goes by so fast that it feels as if years had passed

My fear of the unknown kills me softly inside

But when I look into your eyes all I see is warm devotion

Stepping down, I leave the chasm behind

Pinpoints of light guiding me in the dark

Shining like a beacon showing me the way

I gather your love like a shield around my soul

Riding on in this quest with you always by my side

Pinpoints of light guiding me in the dark

Shining like a beacon showing me the way

I gather your love like a shield around my soul

Riding on with your heartbeat always next to mine

5. It's Never Too Late

See, I don't like how I always become someone else when I'm with you

No, I don't like how I keep losing my sense of self when you are near

But every time I feel like I'm finally over you

You'd look at me with those eyes and with that smile you'd say...

It's never too late for love, darling

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, babe

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, honey

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, yeah

It's never... never too late...

Now, I realized how dreary life always become whenever you're not around

And, I realized how becoming one is better than staying apart as two

So every time you seem like you're finally over me

I'd look at you with a smile and with my eyes I'd say...

It's never too late for love, darling

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, babe

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, honey

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, yeah

It's never... never too late...

See, I don't like how I always become someone else when I'm with you

No, I don't like how I keep losing my sense of self when you are near

But every time I feel like I'm finally over you

You'd look at me with those eyes and with that smile you'd say...

It's never too late for love, darling

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, babe

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, honey

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, yeah

It's never... never too late...

Now, I realized how dreary life always become whenever you're not around

And, I realized how becoming one is better than staying apart as two

So every time you seem like you're finally over me

I'd look at you with a smile and with my eyes I'd say...

It's never too late for love, darling

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, babe

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, honey

It's never too late for love

It's never too late for love, yeah

It's never... never too late...

6. Contradictory

I know this guy who's so contradictory he blows my mind

One minute he's shouting, the next he's terrified

His gaze can burn my insides or melt me like butter

But also make my fragile heart beat faster

Coz he's sly

He's sly

Coz he's sly

He's got a sly smile

Coz he's sly

He's sly

Coz he's sly

He's got a sly smile

What can you say when your thoughts get in the way?

What would you do in my shoes?

What can you say when his looks get in the way?

How long must I pay my dues?

What can you say when your thoughts get in the way?

What would you do in my shoes?

What can you say when his looks get in the way?

How long must I pay my dues?

Saying "yeahhhh" and "I'm sure" with a hint of a smirk

He's so embarrassed he just can't meet my eyes

I wanna make fun of this chink in his armor

But I put an end to that move every time

Coz he's shy

He's shy

Coz he's shy

He's such a shy guy

Coz he's shy

He's shy

Coz he's shy

He's such a shy guy

With a jawline so sharp it could cut glass

And hair falling down his face like waterfalls

Eyes that seem to see through my soul in a wink

But still be laidback and forgiving

Coz he's kind

He's kind

Coz he's kind

He's one of a kind

Coz he's kind

He's kind

Coz he's kind

He's one of a kind

What can you say when your thoughts get in the way?

What would you do in my shoes?

What can you say when his looks get in the way?

How long must I pay my dues?

What can you say when your thoughts get in the way?

What would you do in my shoes?

What can you say when his looks get in the way?

How long must I pay my dues?

You know he's sly

He's sly

Coz he's sly

He's got a sly smile

Yeah he's shy

He's shy

Coz he's shy

He's such a shy guy

But he's kind

He's kind

Coz he's kind

He's one of a kind

You know he's sly

He's sly

Coz he's sly

He's got a sly smile

Yeah he's shy

He's shy

Coz he's shy

He's such a shy guy

But he's kind

He's kind

Coz he's kind

He's one of a kind

The photo

In my hand

Seems faded

Somehow

But the shine

In your eyes

Remained as bright

As before

The road we had

Traveled together

Was worn out then

But our footsteps

Echoing along

Still sounded as loud

As before

You always

Wanted to do more

You always

Wanted to be more

And I always

Wanted to be

By your side

Cheering you on

Even dark clouds

Were blown away

When you sang

Even a future

Still uncertain

You made it

Seem promising

You feared the unknown

Just like me

But you looked fearless

In my eyes

And instead of

Going on by yourself

You insisted on

Pulling my hand

You took me

Out of

A gloomy world

Into a place

Where I could be

Myself

I wanted to return

The happiness

You gave me

But I could only

Make one wish

The photo

In my hand

Seems faded

Somehow

But the shine

In your eyes

Remained just as

Bright as before

The road we had

Traveled together

Was worn out then

But our footsteps

Echoing along

Still sounded as loud

As before

You always

Wanted to do more

You always

Wanted to be more

And I always

Wanted to be

By your side

Cheering you on

Even dark clouds

Were blown away

When you sang

Even a future

Still uncertain

You made it

Seem promising

You feared the unknown

Just like me

But you looked fearless

In my eyes

And instead of

Going on by yourself

You insisted on

Pulling my hand

You took me

Out of

A gloomy world

Into a place

Where I could be

Myself

I wanted to return

The happiness

You gave me

But I could only

Make one wish

On the day

You turned 38

I wished that

One day you could

Become

A cool old man

On the day

You turned 38

I wished that

One day you could

Become

A cool old man

On the day

You turned 38

I wished that

One day you could

Become

A cool old man

8. Centerpiece

If melancholy is a garden

You're its centerpiece

Understated in your elegance

Flourishing, full of grace

Your entrance into any space

Like a whiff of sweet presence

You bring vibrancy into this place

Like a harmonious composition

You're the centerpiece

Exuding captivating beauty

Adding your tranquil colour

To this monochromatic life

You're the focal point of peace

Exuding aesthetics seamlessly

Adding your welcoming colour

To this melancholic life

Those soft pastel shades

Vibrant jewel tones shine

Your range of hues cascades

Innately dazzling as if by design

The contrasts in your play

Foliage and flowers combined

A winding kaleidoscopic display

Securing my heart like ties that bind

A visual delight is what you are

The world becomes brighter

With an enchanting atmosphere

Whenever you appear

9. Exist

There are so many

beautiful people

in this world

But I'm so glad

I'm me

Life is so large

everything gets

confusing

all the time

But I'm so glad

I'm here

Mmmmm....

When I look

in the mirror

all I see around me

are these

Whitewashed walls

When I open up

the door

I don't know

where to go

Yellow petals

blue ocean

green grass

Meet me

in the middle

and don't lead

me astray

This lost wanderer

needs your beauty to

Greet me

rescue me

Mmmmm....

The nights are long

The days are hard

I can barely

breathe

swimming to the shore

on my own

The sea of people

in front of me

behind me

Unrelenting in

their demands

Mmmmm....

I'm spinning

around and around

Always trying

to find my way

Out of anywhere

This constant pain

the ongoing strife

Is the proof

that I exist

Mmmmm....

When I look

in the mirror

all I see around me

are these

Whitewashed walls

When I open up

the door

I don't know

where to go

Yellow petals

blue ocean

green grass

Meet me

in the middle

and don't lead

me astray

This lost wanderer

needs your beauty to

Greet me

rescue me

Mmmmm....

10. You All Over

So near yet so far, only touching your guitar

No reason to stay but I can't get away

You beckon me here but you're never near

My heart's etched with the memories of you, like a scar

That's what you are

Warmer than the sun, the loving words you spun

No chain connected but I'm still affected

You wave your magic wand and strengthen this bond

My heart's splashed with the colours you use, like an abstract

That's how you are

An image far above holding sway

A song running along the walkway

A vision lighting up my gloomy rainy day

You're all over... all around...

So near yet so far, unreachable like a star

No chain connected but I still feel protected

No reason to stay, you're never here anyway

My heart's cluttered with everything you do, like a home

That's where you are

Warmer than the sun, the loving words you spun

No chain connected but I'm still affected

You wave your magic wand and strengthen this bond

My heart's splashed with the colours you use, like an abstract

That's how you are

An image far above holding sway

A song running along the walkway

A vision lighting up my gloomy rainy day

You're all over... all around...

So near yet so far, only touching your guitar

No reason to stay but I can't get away

You beckon me here but you're never near

My heart's etched with the memories of you, like a scar

That's what you are

Warmer than the sun, the loving words you spun

No chain connected but I'm still affected

You wave your magic wand and strengthen this bond

My heart's splashed with the colours you use, like an abstract

That's how you are

An image far above holding sway

A song running along the walkway

A vision lighting up my gloomy rainy day

You're all over... all around...

So near yet so far, unreachable like a star

No chain connected but I still feel protected

No reason to stay, you're never here anyway

My heart's cluttered with everything you do, like a home

That's where you are

11. Awestruck

Looking at you

Looking at me

You're grinning

Saying all kinds of

Serious things

With a playful light

In your eyes

Standing in the crowd

Invisible to you

My face is just one of many

I know that you won't

Remember me

Wish the moment could be

Crystallized forever

At this point in time where

You seem to look at where I stand

You don't have to leave me

You don’t have to leave the stage

Tears streaming down my face

Like waterfall

For reasons I can't explain if I tried

Pain stabbing my heart

Like lightning

For no reason that I can think of

When you smile

Strumming on your guitar

Bathed in light

Laughing at your own mistakes

You'd continue on fearlessly

I know your songs

Aren't my memories

But every word is fleeting

So precious, I can't let go

You don't have to look at me

Coz I'm looking at you

Looking at you

Looking at me

You're laughing

I guess you'll only

Let us know the jokes

But never

The punchlines

12. It Ain't Diss

I still can't believe it's all over man how the time flew by so fast

No wonder they keep coming back to you when you sound this badass

I don't touch drugs I don’t even drink but I got high-drunk just listening

You're A-LIVE at a time when I am too and that serves me the heaviest feeling

My memory is in kaleidoscopic patches dispersed all over the place

The distance from where you were made it seem like a safe enclosed space

That dimension, your territory, we were in a time and place of healing

Everywhere else was light years away obliterated by the surreal lighting

I was there in the crowd, but I could hardly see

Beautiful stage lighting, hiding you away

The music was so loud, but it didn't matter to me

Beautiful singing voice, threw me in disarray

I had a great time vibing with the music and singing along to

The chorus of my all-time favourite songs memorised through

Painstakingly studying your nefariously difficult language night n day

I hope nobody around me hear my messed up rendition of lyrics as they

Sing along too and I wanna shout your name but you know I got shy

But I did shout a lot of YEAHHH with you as I kept wondering why

You're not more famous than you are coz you deserve more

Recognition and fame, but that day will come and this code we'd explore

I was there in the crowd, but I could hardly hear

Beautiful loud music, guiding the way

The lighting obscured you, but it didn't matter to me

Beautiful singing voice, threw me in disarray

I've searched for your voice in a song chock-full of other voices

I've searched for your shadows on a stage filled with other members

But now I've a craving for songs sung and performed by entirely you

No need to split the stage or screen with others, you're enough, it's true

My attention span is shorter than a Leonid meteor shower

But I listen to your songs and never skip a track hour by hour

These songs you composed, written, and produced, I love them all

Is it the songs that I love or I just love you it's a tough call

If I were given one wish

It's for today to repeat endlessly

Playing like the everlasting bliss

With you forever in front of me

14. biRthday soNg

Today's a special day for you.

But it's a special day for me too.

When the clock signals a change.

My heart beat becomes strange.

It seems you're at the center of it all.

A tapestry of shared memories unfold.

These past years of a life full of you.

How your presence pulled me through.

A gift transcending any material thing.

With you I have a sense of belonging.

Maybe you'd have a freshly baked cake.

Mouth-watering aroma left you awake.

Maybe you'd be surrounded by laughter.

Surrounded by loud and happy chatter.

I wish you'd have balloons dancing.

In shades of surreal colors hanging.

From the ceiling in your living room.

Scattered vases with flowers in bloom.

Birthday candles bathe friends and family.

In a warm light shimmering with revelry.

It's a time to flex

It's a time to reflect

It's a time to look back

And get life back on track

It's a time of bliss

It's a time for stories

It's a time without worries

And to create new memories

A cozy living room, a virtual fireplace.

Crackling, eyes sparkling with happiness.

Smiling, cheeks flushed with excitement.

A joyous symphony of voices, a moment.

Where the pure magic of your birthday.

Is captured, distilled in a happy display.

I hope you won't wear that "PISS ON DISCO".

T-shirt you love so much when you show.

Up at your own birthday party but I'd say.

You'd be shining shimmering splendid anyway.

With every year that passes by quicker.

Than the mind can process and wonder.

The impermanence of things, life's fleeting.

The clock keeps ticking, crisp and sparkling.

The passage of time's a tangible reminder.

How birthdays underscore the finite nature.

Ephemerality, a sobering thought, creeping.

Into dreams at nights as you're sleeping.

Like a series of nightmares made flesh.

Shrug it away tomorrow, wake up afresh.

It's a time to flex

It's a time to reflect

It's a time to look back

And get life back on track

It's a time of bliss

It's a time for stories

It's a time without worries

And to create new memories

In a city buzzing with life, you still thrive.

Brisk air, clear sky, bustling streets alive.

With people strolling and tourists visiting.

Lively landmarks amidst leaves changing.

But today is the day that you celebrate.

Is there takoyaki on your birthday spread?

Watching falling petals outside your window.

Would melancholy still make you wallow?

The world feels quieter on this November.

A time for comfort in a warm atmosphere.

Decades have passed, with decades more to come.

The past is over, but the past remains in some.

Parts of our lives, traces of it never to be.

Erased, with an indelible tattoo for all to see.

The chronicle of your life I'd keep, like an archivist.

Quietly observing, avoiding fanwars, like a pacifist.

Waiting for you to appear on this special day.

With gratitude and blessings, we'd all pray.

Wishes whispered, flames blown out with a cheer.

You're a year older, may you be a year wiser.
