1. home
lyrics by emma royle
blessed to have found you
in this world of billions
I'm here for the long run
not just some cheap thrill
and you lift me up with hope and joy and laughter
I wanna be here forever after
you bring me home
show me a place that I've always longed for
you bring me home
you're in my heart like I've always known you
such a crazy time
when this love all started
I had to have you
a fire lit inside my heart
and I would have travelled
and searched the world to find you
and I'd give up everything
just to see you smile
chorus
2. nullarbor
lyrics by jessie vintila
when will I arrive
when will I feel like I'm touching the sides of this city
there's millions of us here and I'm reaching out my hands
looking for connection
if I sing something for you about how I feel
do you promise to listen
cause there's standing room only in this town
and I'm looking for a comfy place to lie down
I wanna settle for the night
watch you glow in the city moonlight
it's the same moon that I saw
rising on the nullarbor
and I thank my lucky stars
and whoever's up there in charge
that I have music
cause I wouldn't know where to start
without these songs inside my heart
to show you who I am, who I am
chorus
3. happy pill
lyrics by emma royle
the nights are growing longer
the past won't stop chasing your tail
in this game of snakes and ladders
it's easy to think that the strongest prevail
your heart is not the box of pandora
blow the dust away
you can take another happy pill
blind your eyes and numb our will
you feel better through the haze
but you're leaving you behind
you can take another happy pill
it's bittersweet that little thrill
you feel better through the haze
but you're leaving you behind
ah ah ay
your demons cast their shadows
you're churning inside
one day you will know
there's nowhere to hide
sometimes to free yourself
you've got to let go
chorus
4. under the night
lyrics by emma royle
up in the trees, under the night
the moon shines brightly, dreams come alive
below in the grass, watching the sky
a song on his lips and a gleam in his eye
he leaned back his head and looked to the stars
he took it al in, near and afar
the glow of the planets, the sway of the trees
he said I'm part of this and it's all part of me
nothing is further than a whisper away
your heart and mine are one and the same
we are connected and will always be
one people, one planet
one destiny
he drew in his breath and opened his arms
he knew he was part of something bigger by far
a piece of the puzzle where we all belong
take comfort in knowing you're never alone
chorus
5. so you've never
lyrics by jessie vintila/emma royle
so you've never been loved truly
so you've never let anyone all the way in
so you're scared that it could break you down
so you've heard that love is terrifying
so you've heard it makes a mess on the floor
do you think you're made for more than love
well it's true that love is terrible force
and it's stronger than wild horses
there's no stopping love
so just let it in girl, let it in girl
well it's true that love can break you
show you hurt that you've never known before
love holds a mirror to your lightness and your dark
but did you know that love can set you free
take you to heights where you can truly fly
that's why we live before we die
so reach out and hold love, with both hands
trust it's all in the master plan
give it, take it, let it flow
love's the only thing we need to know
6. emotional
I have no apologies for all the tears I cry
lyrics by jessie vintila
I get emotional at the most inappropriate times
maybe that's because
I believe emotions are appropriate all the time
all the time
I'm not gonna learn to hold it in
I'm not gonna learn to keep it together
I have lost interest in the world you assume I want to make it in
I'm trying to find myself in places that I don't have to fake it in
do you remember when you still believed in the possibility
of something more, something more
well I'm leaving and I'm following my dreams
and if you wanna come I'll hold the door
chorus
I need to keep a space around me
for softness to fall upon softer ground
cause how can I learn how to fly
with all these brick walls around
chorus
7. closing in
lyrics by emma royle
I thought we had the power of a thousand setting suns
I set my heart on you, I thought you'd be the person
To set my soul afire, make me wanna keep breathing
I thought you were there with me too
Am I too much for you
I feel the night is closing in
Weight of these days upon my skin
We turn our backs against the cold
We count down the days, we count down the hours
Torn apart and torn into, is this road really ours
I only want to hold your hand, but it's so hard to say
We've got to mend this sinking boat
Or it will haunt us one day
chorus
We have the power of a thousand setting suns
My heart is home with you, I know you are the person
Who sets my soul afire, makes me wanna keep breathing
My open arms are here for you
8. please don't break me down
lyrics by emma royle
please don't break me down
please don't break me down
I been walking this road for far too long
baby don't make me walk it alone
please don't break me down
a thousand songs on a thousand winds
a thousand smiles on a thousand lips
some things I don't need to hear
one thing to whisper in my ear
chorus
hold me so tight I can't know the fear
hold me so close baby keep me here
you know I kept this dance for you
sometimes I can't hear the music without you
wrap your hands around mine
rock me honey til the morning light
catch my tears as they fall
in your arms I see the open door
chorus
9. make it beautiful
lyrics by jessie vintila/emma royle
will someone hold us in their arms
and rock us back to sleep
will someone guide us through this night
and tell us how to keep our hearts together
is there a place for both of us to live
we gotta keep believing that we can find it
this answer in between
how are we supposed to know
what to aim for in these times
where is the picture of perfection
or even something that survives
nobody showed us but we keep trying
to find a way without a clue
I just know I wanna make it beautiful with you
cause my love for you is bigger than you seem to believe
how are we gonna figure out these differences
we gotta keep on looking til we see
that we are safe alone and safe in each other's arms
we gotta find the trust in these foundations
could that be what's missing
chorus
10. nothing to fear
lyrics by jessie vintila
nothing to fear in this emptiness
let my sorrow rise to the surface
and wash away
doesn't matter where it came from
it has found a place to go
I won't fight it, I won't deny it
I'll just let my tears flow
and maybe I'll cry
til my dying day
maybe each tear
clears the way
for the joy in my life
it's easy to confuse
the shelter and the storm
I have arrived safely at last
and I'm terrified
I have arrived safely at last
and I'm home
11. lighthouse
lyrics by emma royle/jessie vintila
stay 'til the morning, we'll walk to the lighthouse
we'll watch the sunrise, I'll hold your hand in mine
the birds will be singing, the sand between our toes
each breath we draw reminds us what we all know
no matter how long the night
no matter how dark
no matter how sleepless
or how we fall apart
the moon will always set
the sun will always rise
everything passes, has another side
I'm not afraid of a rocky shore
I've navigated rough seas before
we need them to wake us, we need them to grow
the waters ebb and the waters flow
12. rather be lovin you
lyrics by emma royle
I could sleep in on a sunday
lay about let time float away
but you know what I'd rather do
I could eat cream with apple pie
stare at the stars up in the sky
but I'd rather be lovin you
cause lovin you's like taking candy from a baby
It's the simplest thing that I could ever do
wouldn't matter if you said yes, no or maybe
I tell you honey my heart is singing just for you
I could get a massage in the morning
listen to the sweet birds calling
I bet they're singing just for you
I could relax on a tropical isle
maybe get spoon-fed for a while
but I'd rather be lovin you
cause lovin you's like making sure the sun's still rising
there's nothing in the world I have to do
lovin you's like smiling til my cheeks are aching
and I know baby you'll be kissin 'em better too
