about

additional vocals from kleyna and atlas in motion
additional production from shane o'toole

this was actually the first of the two collaborations between myself and shane, the second of which was released more than 2 years ago. it was incredibly difficult to get to a point where i was content with this track.

a huge thanks to emilyn for her stellar vocal work and songwriting, and i am more than honoured to have worked with some of my greatest friends over the past years on this track.

♫ lyrics ♫
are we going back?
are we moving forward?
are we just stuck?

holding onto ropes
hoping it's not over
might be out of luck

do you feel this now?
do you feel what i feel everyday

any other way
maybe i could tell you
i've been falling down

wish that i could say
wish that i could tell you
won't you come around

but i know you won't
or you'd feel what i feel everyday

do you know, know what i feel for you
know, know how i got this way
oh do you know why i feel with you (feel with you, feel with you)
feel with you

now that i see you as you are
i can't get over everything we've been through
from the time we met, already fell for you
ooh yeah

i'm sorry that i couldn't keep up with you for long
you were the one who made me realise that i belong
yeah i know it hurts to whole it up deep down inside
now that you're gone
