about
Often our opening song, this song says a lot about how we play as a band. There's the thoughtfully written, quieter moments where lyrics and intricate finger picking take the lead. There's a chance for everyone to make their mark too, fiddle, guitar and mandolin fills sit over the acoustics, ukulele and the bass. There's the classic 'Addison's Uncle' stamp chorus too. A good way to get you into the album, we think...
lyrics
All jobs come with stress, but,
have you ever thought as far
as the press that we put, upon a shooting star?
How fickle that we wish,
all our wildest dreams come true
only not to tell a single soul how we feel.
How simple would life be, if,
all we had to do was tell,
an object that we see, that,
started in the sky and fell
of the things amongst our dreams, we,
only wish that we could do and
suddenly they came, quite miraculously true
and all I wish in my quiet time
was you and me to be happy until this
chapter's through, it's our happy ending,
no more tears and no questions pending
and all I wish in my quiet time
was you and me to be happy until this
chapter's through, it's our happy ending,
no more tears and no questions pending now
A secret's not a lie,
not finding out just makes us cry
the truth will often hurt
not knowing it just makes it worse
and wishing on a star, doesn't seem to go as far
as saying I love you, for all you are and all you do
and all I wish in my quiet time
was you and me to be happy until this
chapter's through, it's our happy ending,
no more tears and no questions pending
and all I wish in my quiet time
was you and me to be happy until this
chapter's through, it's our happy ending,
no more tears and no questions pending now
There is nothing I love in this world
more than everything you are
and I'll forever be grateful that we
wished upon that shooting star
and there is nothing I love in this world
more than everything you are
and I'll forever be grateful that we
wished upon that shooting star
