Never been in love like this before Something in your eyes When they close we part, the greatest war It comes with every night Don’t close your eyes Never want the dark Never want to sleep Never had more to lose Never held more to keep Never have the stakes Ever been this high Never been more scared to die And never felt more alive Never seen my life so blessed before Say can I pray and stand? She heard me in the sky, cry mi amor The symmetry of hands Don’t close your eyes Never want the dark Never want to sleep Never had more to lose Never held more to keep Never have the stakes Ever been this high Never been more scared to die And never felt more alive Never have the stakes Ever been this high Never been more scared to die Never want the dark Never want to sleep Never had more to lose Never held more to keep Never have the stakes Ever been this high Never been more scared to die And never felt more alive

Born and we’re blown Deep in the storm Its turning, I’m burning out Caught in my head Things I have said Bring in the drought You’ve got 6 dreams written on your arm But a bed frame sitting at the start Don’t waste time Don’t waste time And you got so much more left to give But if your heart aint really in it Don’t waste time Don’t waste time Don’t waste time Don’t waste time Don’t waste time Greater green light speeding in your eyes Don’t waste time Don’t waste time Don’t waste time Bat in my back speeding in the light So much to be Finding my feet I’m learning, I’m breaking out Caught in my head Thoughts I have left Giving me ground You’ve got 6 dreams written on your arm But a bed frame sitting at the start Don’t waste time Don’t waste time And you got so much more left to give But if your heart aint really in it Don’t waste time x5 Greater green light speeding in your eyes Don’t Waste Time x3 Slow hands to do nothing Time spent dreaming Your thoughts my steps oo x2 You’ve got 6 dreams written on your arm But a bed frame sitting at the start Don’t waste time Don’t waste time And you got so much more left to give But it your heart aint really in it Don’t waste time x5 Greater green light speeding in your eyes Don’t waste Time x3 Bat in my back speeding in the light

All we want is in the mind So what you give is what you’ll find It’s out there for the taking If everyone is living blind Then all our love is left behind We’re walking and we’re waking I can feel it coming over me Runs hot in my centre Then pulls at my feet In the distance I can see the sweetest thing You and I It’s only You and I Move a little bit Caught in the middle We’re running from it and Bang bang bang bang Give a little There’s kids in the middle Their running toward it Bang bang bang bang

Summertime I met you, you loved me I said it wasn’t true I sensed it in your tune Summertime You held me, I let you Knew it was to end But baby I was blessed To know you Seasons of love Seasons of love Drifting apart Now we’re growing up I wish to hold you One more time Under the moonlight I wish to know you Now we’re older And I have my shit together Fall Leaves Are bleeding and dying Floating in the sky Falling by the night Winter Is looming, I’m lonely Before no life was lived Now so much left to give Seasons of love Seasons of love Drifting apart Now we’re growing up I wish to hold you One more time Under the moonlight I wish to know you Now we’re older And I have my shit together Dreaming of you I'll be dreaming of you I wish to hold you One more time Under the moonlight I wish to know you Now we’re older And I have my shit together X2

I’ve been staring the sun Leaning to the warm Like a ticket away Wonder when I go Will ever I know What I’m leaving today? But you know now Time is slow When you’re young You don’t grow Closed my eyes Greenest light That I ever saw so Things gotta go on When you gonna let me run? Lord don’t believe in you But I got no one To lean on So, when you gonna let me run? I’ve been dreaming in the past Living really fast That I’m never here And Even when i’m out Thinking really loud That nothing is clear But you know now Time is slow When you’re young You don’t grow Closed my eyes Greenest light That I ever saw so Things gotta go on When you gonna let me run? Lord don’t believe in you But I got no one To lean on So when you gonna let me run? Been running up to that peak And when I get there, I’ll be thinking It's only downhill now Been running up to that peak And when I get there i'll be leaving Halfway in and halfway out Things gotta go on When you gonna let me run? Lord don’t believe in you But I got no one To lean on So when you gonna let me run? Been running up to that peak And when I get there i'll be thinking It's only downhill now Been running up to that peak And when I get there i'll be leaving Halfway in and half way out

about

Being my debut EP, I wanted to write about something deeply personal, a reflection of my life at the time of writing. ‘Staring at The Sun’ EP is about my death anxiety. Having fears surrounding the future fuels every decision I have made as I’ve become an adult, in terms of daily living, mental health and romantic relationships. It is a fear and topic that I don’t think is discussed enough, that many people haven’t discovered they are facing. I hope if this is a difficult aspect of listeners lives, that they find comfort in the shared experience. It is my love letter to my strength and tenacity to face what scares me the most and to never stop believing in my future
