SEEN WITH ME


Had no love on the side living alone
No one there what would happen if I died tonight
Did she find me or did I find her in this lonely world 
Living a dream ever time she looks at me, not even asleep

Was the bar lowered for me, all she wanted was the simple things
She wanted no money
She wanted no expensive things
She just wanted a ring and to be seen with me

Not good enough for what I thought was the one
Just a man under glass, incase of emergency break the glass
That one never got the chance, loving friendship never last
Now I have what was the one passed, much more special than that

Did our path ever cross, where we the two ships in the dark
She wanted love from my heart
She wanted to feel kiss on the neck
She also wanted forever to be seen with me

A voice speaking the word glorious
Gave up a dream and traveled thousand miles just to see
Feeling I was needed until there was no need
Thinking all I needed was a Caribbean dream 

Did I give up on love or did it give up on me
She wanted me in her dream
She wanted to be in mine
She wanted to be at my side just to be seen with me

NARCAN NIGHTMAIR

Waken from a deep sleep 
As she ran from the room like a nightmarish dream
Blonde hair dark skin what she did was a sin
Grey skin he didn't even breathe

What has happened to the sleep I've known
The entrance to a world that is all my own
A comfort that feels like home

Where do I go from here? 
With a mind full of fear
Is the end really near

Waken from the Narcan in his nose
Confused by the torn-up room
What has happened no-one knows

Regretable memory of the past 
The embarrassment will never last
Will there be another chance

Where do I go from here?
With eyes full of tears
Who is this in the mirror
