Nick Atkinson, my song writing partner and partner in crime, wrote this beautiful ear-worm. It’s one of my favourite songs on the album and it’s about moving on, specifically for us on and out of London to live back up North to be closer to our families. It’s only been a year so it’s still bitter sweet. We miss the buzz of London but this album wouldn’t be what it is if we’d stayed.
lyrics
It’s time we said goodbye
We tried to make it right
But it’s time we said goodbye
And leave this place behind
You were just what I needed
Just when I needed it
You know I came alive when you came along
Was it luck? Was it reason?
I was stuck, needed freedom
You know you gave me what made me who I was
It’s time we said goodbye
We tried to make it right
But it’s time we said goodbye
And leave this place behind
Didn’t stop, we were living
We were high on believing
But it was never forever for me and you
This is tough, it’s not easy
But I’m gone, yeah I’m leaving
Memories making it hard for me to go
It’s time we said goodbye
We tried to make it right
But it’s time we said goodbye
And leave this place behind
It’s time
We tried
It’s time
We said goodbye
You can cry because it’s over
But smile for what it was
You know it’s time
Time we said goodbye
