When life is better than dreams...
Country, acoustic folk, folk-rock, indie pop.
One man band - a wide range of acoustic based country, pop and folk crossover music.
Story behind the song
Thinking back on old dreams and realising that I would not change my world... for the world.
Lyrics
Perfectly
One more day of wondering, how things might have been
If I had had the courage, to follow all my dreams
Traveled to Montana, learned to ride the range
Spend winter as a lumberjack, if I felt the need for change
I could have drifted down to Georgia, played some R&B
Then backed up into Nashville, for the country boy in me
I could have gone a long, long way on the back of my guitar
Rhythm and Blues or Country, I could have been a star
Lift:
But here I am and here we are
Chorus:
If I need to hear a sound, to put my mind at peace
I listen to you breathing while you are fast asleep
The whole world slips away, as I let you breathe for me
And as I watch, I understand - so perfectly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, so perfectly
My dreams were still forming, in the gristmill of my mind
So I got a job to pay my way but I didna€™t know Ia€™d find
A girl who worked beside me, down on the factory floor
It took one day, one smile, one kiss, to seal my evermore
I wish that I could find for you, a neater, fresher way
To tell you how you moved me, how you took my breath away
So I never became a cowboy and I never chopped down trees
And Ia€™ve never been to Georgia, or played in Tennessee
Lift:
Cosa€™ here I am and here we are
Chorus:
If I need to hear a sound, to put my mind at peace
I listen to you breathing while you are fast asleep
The whole world slips away, as I let you breathe for me
And as I watch, I understand - so perfectly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, so perfectly
Bridge:
Every day I go to work and I work hard for my pay
And the good Lord knows I wouldna€™t want it any other way
Lift:
So here I am and here we are
Chorus:
If I need to hear a sound, to put my mind at peace
I listen to you breathing while you are fast asleep
The whole world slips away, as I let you breathe for me
And as I watch, I understand - so perfectly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, so perfectly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, so perfectly
