Better Than This

This one's pretty simple.

Rachel and I were long distance for a year while I was in Invercargill for my first year in New Zealand. I'd fly to Wellington twice a month to see her, or sometimes we'd meet in Christchurch, as she has family there.

I moved to Wellington the following year to be with her. I remember one winter, in her living room, the fireplace was going, she was sitting on the couch, and I was lying on it, with my head rested on her lap. We were watching the All Blacks playing South Africa.

"This is perfect." I thought to myself. In a warm house on a cold night. Watching my favourite sport with the woman I love.

It simply doesn't get any better than this.

Better Than This Lyrics

You make it easy for you to see me

The way I really am

I never wonder to give you other 

Than everything I can

Through all the bad times, there's always the sign 

You love me all the same.

To you I travel, the world unravels

You're always glad I came.

With your hand in my hand and a special kiss

Tell me, how can it get any better than this?

The way we dance is just pure romance 

And it's there for all to see.

And if they offer, I'll have no other

'Cause you're the one for me.

This blissful feeling when I'm with you

Makes me feel like it's a dream.

In all the world I could never think 

There could be such harmony 

With your hand in my hand and a special kiss

Tell me, how can it get any better than this?

I just wanna hold you….

I just wanna hold you….

With your hand in my hand and a special kiss

Tell me, how can it get any better than this?

I just wanna hold you….

With your hand in my hand and a special kiss

Tell me, how can it get any better than this?

I just wanna hold you….

I just wanna hold you….

Pretence Lyrics

You said I had what it takes. 

You told me that I could make it.

I wonder how many others 

That you deceive when you fake it. 

I want the whole world to see

Just how you prey on their dreams.

And still you act like you're perfect

Well, then I hope it was worth it.

I'll never trust you 

I know too much of you

Your schemes and lies

And the way you disguise and you

Pretend to know me

And pretend to show me that

We were a team and 

We shared the same dream all along

Well now you see that I'm stronger

I don't need you any longer

I warned you you should be wary

Of something so Ordinary

I'll never trust you 

I know too much of you

Your schemes and lies

And the way you disguise and you

Pretend to know me

And pretend to show me that

We were a team and 

We shared the same dream all along

I'll never trust you 

I know too much of you

Your schemes and lies

And the way you disguise and you

Pretend to know me

And pretend to show me that

We were a team and 

We shared the same dream all along

I hate both you and myself

Keep thinking somebody else

Could see the dagger you hide

Behind your glamorous side

I'll never trust you 

Know too much of you

Your schemes and lies

And the way you disguise and you

Pretend to know me

And pretend to show me that

We were a team and 

We shared the same dream all along

I'll never trust you 

I know too much of you

Your schemes and lies

And the way you disguise and you

Pretend to know me

And pretend to show me that

We were a team and 

We shared the same dream all along

I'll never trust you 

I know too much of you

Your schemes and lies

And the way you disguise and you

Pretend to know me

And pretend to show me that

We were a team and 

We shared the same dream all along

shared the same dream all along

shared the same dream all along

shared the same dream all along

all along

all along

all along

All I Want To Say

This song tells the same story as 'Gonna Be There'. It's about J****** and I. I wrote it soon after we broke up, as a way of saying "everything's cool- I'm fine with this. If anything changes, then just give me a call".

However, 'Gonna Be There' is a much truer representation of how I feel about the situation- I needed her like the deserts need the rain.

I still like the song, though. I hope you do, too.

All I Want To Say Lyrics

I want you to come and live with me

I know that you share my destiny

Even now we still see eye to eye

I just want to let you know that I'm

Gonna be here to stay

That's all I want to say

That's all I want to say

All I want to say

When you felt that all was going wrong

I was there to help you stay strong

And then when he'd gone and left your side

I was there to let you know that I'll

Never be far away

That's all I want to say

That's all I want to say____

Never be far away

That's all I want to say

That's all I want to say____

Never be far away

That's all I want to say

That's all I want to say____

Never be far away

That's all I want to say

That's all I want to say____

Gonna be here to stay

That's all I want to say

That's all I want to say____

Gonna be here to stay

That's all I want to say

That's all I want to say____
