Packed my life up into boxes And loaded all I have to a van Said goodbye to all my friends Travelled halfway down this land Found myself in a new town With not a soul I could call my friend Now a year has gone by and I hope the good times never end And life's so good and this feels like home I've found a town I call my own Settle down live the way I should Woah, life is so damn good I met a girl from an island With a name I’d not known before Broke my foot in the summer It could have been the worst but it was the best and so much more Falling in love’s unexpected Out of the blue, takes your by surprise Just when you’re happy on your own Someone comes along and they open your eyes And life's so good and this feels like home I've found a town I call my own Settle down live the way I should Woah, life is so damn good If you’ve never been lost then you’ve never been found Got set your sights on higher ground If you don’t step up and take a risk You may never know how good life is (Life is so good, Life is so damn good) And life's so good and this feels like home I've found a town I call my own Settle down live the way I should Woah, life is so damn good

Something About You 03:53
lyrics

Nerves high Heart beats Faster than its done in such a long time Glances Across the room Wondering if you feel the same way too Our first kiss I Nearly missed But we've had plenty more since that night There's something About you Something, something that just feels so right I wanna scream it loud Tell the whole damn town Let the whole world know that we've got something special I want the PDA Don't care what people say I want the world to know that I'm so glad that you came my way Sun set Walks with you Have never made a summer so perfect And all I Want to do Is spend every second I have with you You say I Give you butterflies I've gotta say the feeling is so mutual There's something About you Something, something that just feels so right I wanna scream it loud Tell the whole damn town Let the whole world know that we've got something special I want the PDA Don't care what people say I want the world to know that I'm so glad that you came my way It was in the way that your iPod dock Was in your car when your radio broke And I find it so strange that so much of the time we both make the same stupid jokes And I don't think I smile as much as I smile When you spend your days around me And if life carries on, the way it is now It'll be the best it can be I wanna scream it loud Tell the whole damn town Let the whole world know that we've got something special I want the PDA Don't care what people say I want the world to know that I'm so glad that you came my way

I started this when I was 15 With just a drum kit and a punk rock dream I used to write when I got home from school and dream of playing live Bought a guitar when I was 17 Recorded demos on an old PC Over the years taught myself to sing Music’s changed but it’s still just me And I’m not giving up while I've got something to say Got a song in my heart and guitar to play There's something in my soul that says I'm made to do this That there's a song to be sung And I'm the one to sing it I'll play 'till my fingers can't play anymore Oh, oh Think I'm made for the music Played my first gig when I was 24 Nervous as hell but I’ve since played more I love the buzz of playing live and long may it last And I’m not giving up while I got something to say Got a song in my heart and guitar to play There's something in my soul that says I'm made to do this That there's a song to be sung And I'm the one to sing it I'll play 'till my fingers can't play anymore Oh, oh Think I'm made for the music I'll play on these stings 'till they break or I bleed I'll sing out these words 'till my voice fails me I'll hammer out a beat until I can't hold the sticks Cos music is my life and I’m made for this It's what I'm made for There's something in my soul that says I'm made to do this That there's a song to be sung And I'm the one to sing it I'll play 'till my fingers can't play anymore Oh, oh Think I'm made for the music

The Best Thing 03:35

If I could travel back in time Relive each moment of my life I would make all the same mistakes again Travel down the path I've been To the moment when we meet And from that day life will be so good And I don't wanna change the story cos I know the ending it’s you, made my grey skies fade to blue And all I think about is you We're the best thing that could ever happen It's you, you’re the sunshine to my rain, feelings I just can’t explain We’re the best thing that could ever happen. It’s you If I could find the past-time me I would say ‘Mark, let it be’ I would say ‘things work out in the end’ Live your life with no regrets You never know what's in store next Life's too short to live it in the past And I don't wanna change the story cos I know the ending it’s you, made my grey skies fade to blue And all I think about is you We're the best thing that could ever happen It's you, you’re the sunshine to my rain, feelings I just can’t explain We’re the best thing that could ever happen. It’s you All my mistakes, all of my heartbreaks They all led me to you They didn’t kill me or make me stronger I just carried on through Sure, I had dark days but I never gave up Always believed in love Knew in the future, one day I'd find it And that thought was enough. it’s you, made my grey skies fade to blue And all I think about is you We're the best thing that could ever happen It's you, you’re the sunshine to my rain, feelings I just can’t explain We’re the best thing that could ever happen. It’s you

Life Is Better 03:34

I used to crave time on my own Couldn’t wait for the days when I’d get away But something has changed cos now I can’t stand it I count down the hours ‘till you come my way Everything with you feels so different I know this time it will last forever Each day with you is never enough When I’m with you life is so much better No doubt about it life is better with us Everyone says that I’m like a closed book But you seem to read me so easily I don’t understand this crazy connection This spark in my heart, this chemistry Everything with you feels so different I know this time it will last forever Each day with you is never enough When I’m with you life is so much better No doubt about it life is better with us I know it sounds sad but I don’t want a day when I don’t see you It sounds so pathetic but I don’t want a day when we are apart It makes me cringe to write these words but with you they fall out I gotta say girl, and I think you know, you’ve stolen my heart I know this time it will last forever Each day with you is never enough When I’m with you life is so much better No doubt about it life is better with us

The Things I Once Cared About 04:13
lyrics

I used to think we could change the world That we each had a voice and each voice would be heard But the older that I get the more I disagree With that younger, optimistic, 19 year old me I used to think each vote was a voice But now it gets lost in a sea of white noise Yes I am cynical but it is justified Cos all the talk about change was nothing but lies Cos I've seen riots with fire And I've seen riots with fights And I've seen peaceful protests and marches last through the night I've seen petitions filled up And still nothing change You can't be surprised that I'm disengaged So I'm letting go of the things The things that I once cared about I guess I was young and oh, so naive I've changed quite a lot about the things I believe I just about care and still to see change But I don't think it'll happen and my energy's drained And I'm sick tired of being so sick and tired So I focus on me, and ignore the outside The ideals I had that have all gone away And they rest with the youth who will give up one day When they've seen riots with fire And I've seen riots with fights And I've seen peaceful protests and marches last through the night I've seen petitions filled up And still nothing change You can't be surprised that I'm disengaged So I'm letting go of the things The things that I once cared about What is there to do when politicians don't hear? When they act for themselves and all of their peers When the protest is pointless 'cos they turn a blind eye? When the rich rule the roost and the poor cast aside? Cos I've seen riots with fire And I've seen riots with fights And I've seen peaceful protests and marches that last through the night I've seen petitions fill up And still nothing change I can't be surprised that I'm disengaged So I'm giving up all the things The things that I once cared about

13.05.16 Verse: B G# F# E Chorus: B G# F# (G# last time) Bridge: G# F# E I still remember the first words you spoke when you came up to me Iin that place Looking back now it feels like a lifetime ago Our lives moved on, you got married, had a son, but when we hung out it was still so much fun Everything seemed so fine but you were falling apart at the seams apart at the seams And the 13th of May will never be the same again And on that day I'll raise a glass to my friend Depression’s so cruel and so was your choice You silenced yourself instead of finding your voice Now the 13th of May will never be the same again I’ll remember you, my friend I still remember the trips in my car when you’d lose your voice singing Bowling for Soup I still smile when I think about those days We used to write stupid songs and I’d send you mine, There’s still that track you wrote the strings for that time It breaks my heart to think that you felt so alone, When you weren’t all alone And the 13th of May will never be the same again And on that day I'll raise a glass to my friend Depression’s so cruel and so was your choice You silenced yourself instead of finding your voice Now the 13th of May will never be the same again I’ll remember you, my friend And when my world fell apart you drove up to me Spent 8 hours on the road just to see If I was doing okay, I never had time to say How much that meant to me Now you’ve been gone 9 months, don’t feel it’s sunk in That there’s a world out there without you within And that’s not okay It’ll never be okay I wish I could bring you back And the 13th of May will never be the same again And on that day I'll raise a glass to my friend Depression’s so cruel and so was your choice You silenced yourself instead of finding your voice Now the 13th of May will never be the same again I’ll remember you, my friend

Happy Ever After Chords Verses: C Am F Am C F G C Chorus: C G F G G C F G C We're like Serena and Dan But without the complications Leonard and Penny Without the hesitation Like Ross and Rachel Without a need for a break We’re like Chuck and Blair But it’s all love and no hate Bernie and Howie but no awkward first date Like Monica and Chandler Except we both make stupid jokes I guess what I'm trying to say Is I've never fell in love this way This song sounds like another cliche But it’s just the way it is We’re like Ted and Robin But we’re not wasting time Like Aladdin with Jasmine I know I want you to be mine Like Desmond and Penny Now I've found you I won't let you go We’re like Marshall and Lily They'll always be a me and you Belle and the Beast We have a love that's oh so true Like Charlie and Claire In the right place, right time I guess what I'm trying to say Is I've never fell in love this way This song sounds like another cliche But it’s just the way it is

A Lifetime Is Never Enough 04:19

I read this story of this couple who'd married 60 years of so They made this pact that if one of them would lose their mind The other one would would be so kind as to help them fall asleep And as I read those words in print, I thought you and me And if we reach that age I'd want to turn the page And have another day Cos a lifetime is never enough A lifetime just won't enough with you I want an infinity of you and me Oh oh, A lifetime is never enough A lifetime just won't be enough with you Let’s live for eternity just you and me Oh, oh A lifetime is never enough I've seen movies and read books that tell of love that is oh, so true Of people made for each other but the wait's so long And as i turn each page i wait for the moment when They meet, that makes me think of you, it makes me think of me And now our paths have crossed Make up for time we've lost The time goes by so fast Cos a lifetime is never enough A lifetime just won't enough with you I want an infinity of you and me Oh oh, A lifetime is never enough A lifetime just won't be enough with you Let’s live for eternity just you and me Oh, oh A lifetime is never enough I wanna do everything, see everything with you A lifetime is never enough A lifetime just won't enough with you I want an infinity of you and me Oh oh, A lifetime is never enough A lifetime just won't be enough with you Let’s live for eternity just you and me Oh, oh A lifetime is never enough

Friday night at the bar and the drinks are in Chilli shots, Jäger bombs and double Gins Celebrate the weekend party like it's our last You only get one life and it will go by so fast Started out at the monkeys now it’s V-Bar and we’re 3 drinks down And Ben’s not dancing yet so I think it’s time for another round We’re gonna stay out tonight Not going home until light Cos we’re still young and we will drink, dance and laugh with our friends Cos life’s too short to live with regrets Let’s live to the full cos we’re not dead yet So let’s raise a glass to the rest of our lives The DJ plays our favourites songs It’s 2am but the night is young Not going home until the music ends Cos life’s so good when you’re out with your friends Started out at the Monkey’s now it’s V-Bar and we’re 5 drinks down And Liam’s not lost yet so I think it’s time for another round We’re gonna stay out tonight Not going home until light Cos we’re still young and we will drink, dance and laugh with our friends Cos life’s too short to live with regrets Let’s live to the full cos we’re not dead yet So let’s raise a glass to the rest of our lives I’m getting older and I might need a nap to survive the night But it’s still such a good time To those who say that I’m too old now, that’s a lie Not too old for a good time There might be night’s when I’m in bed by 10 and that’s fine Cos I'm still loving this life You get one life, so just live every day to the full Cos life was made for good times We’re gonna stay out tonight Not going home until light Cos we’re still young and we will drink, dance and laugh with our friends Cos life’s too short to live with regrets Let’s live to the full cos we’re not dead yet So let’s raise a glass to the rest of our lives
