Maybe 03:42
You told her you loved her, you told her you need her She just said that she had to go You told her she was the one you'd been looking for But she just turned her back and said goodbye Well maybe it's not about you Maybe it's just about something she'd been through Well you'd hope it's not about you You'd hope that it was just something you'd work through The next day you saw her sitting by the pond She was reading a book that you gave her You wanted to approach her just to say hello But she was looking so peaceful, so beautiful Well maybe it's not about you Maybe it's just about something she'd been through Well you'd hope it's not about you You'd hope that it was just something you'd work through (Maybe) Well maybe it's not about you Maybe it's just about something she'd been through Well you'd hope that she never knew What it felt like to go through all the things you went through

Through a time travelling spaceship he goes he goes he goes Through a star travelling spaceship he goes he goes he goes To distant lands and faraway places, alone, he goes he goes he goes Where he meets wonderful people he runs he runs he runs And finds unknown creatures he runs he runs he runs To distant lands and faraway places, alone, he runs he runs he runs (Oo) A home away from home he lands he lands he lands His earth away from home he lands he lands he lands He doesn’t really know what draws him to this world so new, he lands he lands he lands Where he finds so much love he takes he takes he takes Not wanting any love he takes he takes he takes He doesn’t really know what draws him to this world so new, he takes he takes he takes (Oo) He's leaving all behind he flys he fly he flys Searching through the sky’s he flys he flys he flys Not knowing what he’ll find, as long as his past is off his mind, he flys Alone through time Lone through time Alone

You pick yourself up off the floor for about the 88th time You tell yourself you've got way more to give, just push and push you'll be fine You wanna reach further you wanna run faster You wanna sing louder you wanna fly higher Racing up that ladder to the top And everyone seems to be doing it better What's wrong? You're cursed why's your life harder? Hurry up you're running out of time Darling won't you sit Still And stop Just take a breath a deep deep breath And wait It's okay Just pause Your restless mind will learn to ease one day Don't you worry Step by step you're slowing down You need to plug back in and recharge But you don't think you've got any time to waste You're already way behind as it is But I can't wait till you realise When you learn, when it's your mind You're already whole as you are There's really no race that you are part of No clock that's set no ladder to climb You're already where you need to be Darling won't you un- Understand Your worth Your endless magic mind and Golden heart You are enough You are whole Just learn to laugh and learn to give and love Please just love... Who you are Who you're gonna be Who you are Who you are becoming

Regret 02:53
(No, no, no No, no, no) You said you wouldn't but then you went and did it What does that tell you that now you're gone? I told you leave it behind you'll regret it But regret's not regret if you're not there to feel it anymore We worked together I tried to get you through this But that wasn't what you needed at all I only wanted for you to happy But that proved too hard for you now I know Kept it in all the time was it easy? Knowing all that you'd gone and done You thought you could keep it from me But you don't know you like I do (No, no, no No, no, no) You thought you could keep it from me But you don't know you like I do You thought you could keep it from me But you don't know you like I do (No, no, no No, no, no) You said you wouldn't but then you went and did it What does that tell you that now you're gone?

Curtain Call 01:49
I've never done this before I'm new to this scene You placed me on a stage In a place I've never been You didn't give me a script to read No lines to memorise It's a shame that there's an audience Wide-eyed and ready for me To fall To fall Watch me stumble over Break my back and cry For help Oh, help Help me won't you please Give me a script to read (Oh)

Some believe in Magic Some believe in Magic While some believe in God Some believe in Magic I don't believe in Magic All I believe is Life

about

These pieces have been playing in my head for the past five years now. It has given me great joy to transport them from my mind into an experience for you, the listener.

I am proud to say every little nuance, choice, and idea in this album is my own.

I am forever grateful to my parents who unconditionally support me in creating what I love. To my mentors, loved ones and my ever-growing circle of support - thank you for believing in me and constantly teaching me new ways to look at and learn about the world.

From my little bedroom studio to you, I present my sound world of Magic.
