WIDE EYED ALBUM

All lyrics written by Laurence Kingston 2018-2019 

JAZZ CABBAGE

It's late but I wanna say that I need you so

never ever, ever want to let you

and it's so strange you're in the back of my mind,

when you're all alone and feeling kind 

but is it too late for me to be what I want to be?

It's late but I wanna know what I need to know 

will you ever, ever, ever let me go (ever, ever let me go)

and it's so strange you're in the back of my heart,

when we're all alone and torn apart

and it's too late for you to do what you need to do

I try to call you but you don't reply

you don't answer and here's the reason why

you're either drunk or high

or living life or living lies

and I try to love you but you don't reply

you don't answer and here's the reason why

I love you too but I'm already over you

I try to call you but you don't reply

you don't answer and here's the reason why

you're either drunk or high

or living life or living lies

and I try to love you but you don't reply

you don't answer and here's the reason why

I love you too but I'm already over you (already over you)

I try to call you but you don't reply

you don't answer and here's the reason why

I love you too but I'm already over you

BOYFRIEND

Do you still love you ex boyfriend?

will this feeling ever end? 

can I commend him for stealing your heart

done something that only a few can do

he's broken you're heart and he's broken you

but you still love him too

In my room trying not to cry

our love was just a lie

Do you still love you ex boyfriend?

will this feeling ever end? 

can I commend him for stealing your heart

But love isn't everything thats true 

but for me it was and all I want is you

but he wants you too

but when he does break your heart again

you'll run back to me but I'll say no,

you're not my friend

what don't you comprehend?

 

In my room trying not to cry

our love was just a lie

Do you still love you ex boyfriend?

will this feeling ever end? 

can I commend him for stealing your heart

can I commend him for stealing your heart

UNDERSTAND

What do you do in the night,

when you're not feeling right?

don't you understand I wanna be your man?

What do you do in the day,

when you're love has gone away?

don't you understand I wanna be your man?

I wanna be your man

I wanna be your man

don't you understand I wanna be your man?

What do you do with your heart,

now we're torn apart?

don't you understand I wanna be your man?

I wanna be your man

I wanna be your man

don't you understand I wanna be your man?

I wanna be your man

I wanna be your man

don't you understand I wanna be your man?

I wanna be your man

I wanna be your man

BUT SHE'S JUST A LITTLE SHY

Her friends say she likes me but she's always to shy,

to tell me what she's feeling and whats on her mind

but I wish she'd just tell me what's gone a rye 

but she's just a little shy

When it's comes to anything but loves she's always,

"Mrs Chatterbox" and "Mr Uncut" 

but when the subjects changed to her love life

then she goes a little shy

The little saying and the things she do,

make my heart beata nd make my eyes blue

I wish she'd just tell me what's truth and lie

but she's just a little shy

Her friends say she likes me but she's always to shy,

to tell me what she's feeling and whats on her mind

but I wish she'd just tell me what's gone a rye 

but she's just a little shy (Just too shy, too shy)

but she's just a little shy (Just too shy, too shy)

When it's comes to anything but loves she's always,

"Mrs Chatterbox" and "Mr Uncut" 

but when the subjects changed to her love life

then she goes a little shy

I CAN'T HELP IT (IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)

Can you repeat those words you said,

the words you said when you were stuck in my head,

in early may, the glory days

can you whisper then in my ear, in my ear so I can hear them clear and understand you and just to get close to you 

what a shame that the words you said were filled with dread,

and hurt my head as you said them,

and I felt them

"sorry that I've taken so long I've been choosing my words so not to upset, but they still do. Well I like you loads as a mate and being in your company's always great but I'm sorry I'm just not ready to get close to you"

Well I should have seen it from the very start

my friends said that you would break my heart

but I didn't listen to my mates

coz I took you on three dates

 

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

well, I can't help it if I love you

although you don't love me too

I still wanna get close to you

We're currently in the awkward stage 

the stage where we both don't know what to say or do

coz you know I still love you

well I'm sure that you had some love,

but were too shy to show it when it was about me

and you would rather see me lonely that say how you really feel

Well I should have seen it from the very start

my friends said that you would break my heart

but I didn't listen to my mates

coz I took you on three dates

 

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you (still in love, still in love)

well, I can't help it if I love you (still in love, still in love)

although you don't love me too

I still wanna get close to you

(arr arr arr close to you, oo oo) x2

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you (still in love)

well, I can't help it if I love you (not in love)

although you don't love me too

I still wanna get close to you

(still in love, still in love,still in love arr arr)

although you don't love me too

I still wanna get close to you

(still in love, still in love,still in love arr arr)

although you don't love me too

I still wanna get close to you

THINK IT THROUGH

You said you would be here at four,

but I don't know if you're coming around anymore

coz you're always late and you're always down

and you'll get dropped off in the middle of town

it's always funny when you say I'm cool, 

coz you didn't even know me when I was at school

five o' clock and you're still not home,

I guess I'll just wait around for you on my own

You said you would be coming soon,

so I don't really understand what to do 

coz you're always troubled and you're always tired and ,

nothing you do will ever be admired 

coz you're always late and you're always down

and you'll get dropped off in the middle of town

but I still want you too

so I'm gonna wait up and talk to you

Every night I'm sitting on my own,

waiting around for you to call me on my telephone

But you never do

coz that's you

I really need to think this through before I call you 

coz I don't know what to do

You say your friends like me too

but I don't really think that they fucking do

coz I'm always late and I'm always down

and I'll get dropped off in the middle of town

they think I'm strange in a normal way,

because I lay in bed at night and I smoke in the day

although you don't know what I do

I'm still gonna wait up and talk to you

Every night I'm sitting on my own,

waiting around for you to call me on my telephone

But you never do

coz that's you

I really need to think this through before I call you 

coz I don't know what to do

Every night I'm sitting on my own,

waiting around for you to call me on my telephone

But you never do

coz that's you

I really need to think this through before I call you 

coz I don't know what to do

(I don't know what to do, I need to think it through) 

(I don't know what to do, I need to think it through)

I DON'T KNOW

Tonight I love you so,

will this feeling ever go?

well, I don't know

I don't know

and tonight you'll cry,

coz love is in your eye and it's not in mine

but I think it might be the time

that love is fine

So hold me close and don't let go

never, ever ever let me go

so hold me close and hold me tight tonight,

coz love is right

coz love is right

Tonight I want you so,

will this feeling ever go?

well, I don't know

I don't know

and tonight I'll cry,

coz love is in your eye and it's not in mine

but I think it might be the time

that love is fine

So hold me close and don't let go

never, ever ever let me go

so hold me close and hold me tight tonight,

coz love is right

coz love is right

So hold me close and don't let go

never, ever ever let me go

so hold me close and hold me tight tonight,

coz love is right

coz love is right

love is right

coz love is right

MODERN WORLD

Think about what's been said today

your life's dull, black and grey 

but it's okay

coz it's a modern world

Hear what they're saying in the streets

earths empty, dead and bleak

but it's okay

coz it's a modern world

What's been gained from having more time to cry?

when you're on your own 

this world will pass you by 

You know what you've got to do,

make a world that's fresh and new

how dare you

coz it's a modern world

things have gotta change some how 

stiff upper lip and highbrow

are no use now

coz it's a modern world

What's been gained from having more time to cry?

when you're on your own 

this world will pass you by 

 

coz it's a modern world

it's a modern world

coz it's a modern world

coz it's a modern world

it's a modern world

coz it's a modern world

it's a modern world

it's a modern world

SOMEHOW / BED

Somehow

 

Now I'm alone

sitting in my room on my phone

sleeping through the days and nights

my heart is not right

 

And I think of you 

in a way that I used

but nowI can't have you

coz you've got somebody new

 

And I close the blinds 

but you're still all that's on my mind

and I wonder what you're doing now

and try not to cry somehow

Bed

White socks, old shoes, the blues

the three things you'll never lose

but you can't decide where to go,

got no cash or tobacco 

Pinging head? feeling dead? need you bed?

you don't know what I said

coz you're on your own

with no battery on your broken phone

Wide eyed? tongue tied? feeling high?

all the things you try to deny are all true

but thats just my point of view

heavy heart, another part, brand new start 

wavy vision that's your decision 

as well as long 

coz that's all you're thinking of

DECEMBER

In one day, I'll tell you somehow, how I really feel

in one hour I'll show you that my love

and you'll love it too 

coz its predictable just like you

and it's hard to say what I want when what I want is you

does that mean we're over? 

does that mean we're through?

if you're using different words 

it still hurts 

But in a way that I can't say in just another line

"You'll be okay" & " You'll be fine" is all I hear from my friends

but when will my heart mend?

Does it hurt when I see you walking down the street

does it remind you that we were supposed to meet,

but you decided not to show

and that's just fucking low

You've got a way to keep me off your wicked, wicked mind

"I'll be okay" & " I'll be fine" is all that you tell your friends

but your heart won't mend

In one day, I'll tell you somehow, how I really feel

in one hour I'll show you that my love

and you'll love it too 

coz its predictable just like you

WIDE EYED

Check your phone I'm all alone and just waiting around for you

coz I make you cry and I made you blue

what a shame the blame is on my loving heart

but your half the blame you don't feel no shame and I do

 

Heartache, heartbreak, heart fake and loving too

four things I thought you'd make me do

it's all a lie but all I cry is 'loving you'

but I'm sure you cried 

and you eyes went wide when we got high

 

Check the sky if you're up too high and don't know who you are

if I made you cry it's all a lie I just went to far

you've gotta try or love won't find you anywhere

and I'm sure you denied

you always cried when we got high

Turned Upside Down

You know him well

I can tell by the look in your eyes, you're hiding lies

he knows you too, he's slept with you but you say it's not true

when I ask you

But he only wants sex just to get over his ex,

and that will probably hurt you

it's hurting me too

but If i was you I'd say 'fuck you we're through, we're through'

But all the things I wanna say are in my head

along with the final words you said 

but I wish you just stopped and turned around

before my world turned upside down
