Nothing More Than This EP LYRICS

So my friend Tom asked me for the lyrics to my songs, and instead of just sending them to him, I thought it might be better to put them on a public space so more people will benefit.

I personally HOPE that my singing is clear enough that you wouldn't need lyrics to figure out the words, but I guess for those not keen on memorising the words to my songs, having them available to read and sing along to is the next best thing.

So without further adieu, here are the lyrics for all the songs on the EP.

You'll notice there are certain words/phrases I repeat. Try to pick them out if you can.








CALIFORNIA
Written by Martinette Williams 2011 ©


It was summer when we first met
You have a smile that I will never forget
Woke up every morning
Just so I could see you again

I didn't know it but I started to find
You were the only thing on my mind
And I dreaded the thought of the night that you would say goodbye

I know you had no choice but to leave
I just hope you'll remember me

I wished this would last forever
Now you're on your way back to
California
You took away a piece of me
I'm praying one day you will see
California
Is not where you wanna be
It's not where you wanna be
California
Is worlds away from me

I tried my hardest just to keep it inside
But if you had asked for the truth
I wouldn't have lied
I'm not hiding how I feel
I just didn't wanna fall apart

I didn't know you for very long
But it's not the same here now that you're gone

Time goes on
And it feels wrong
When you're not here
Don't forget
The way you felt
All the days that you were








MAYBE
Written by Martinette Williams 2012 ©


It’s different somehow

To everything else that I have known until now

Something just seems to make sense when you’re looking at me

It’s plaguing my mind

I sit here and think about it all of the time

Wondering why you just don’t seem to think about me

I’m really  trying not to let you see

How I always wear my heart out on my sleeve

Maybe this is where you wanna be

Maybe I’m dreaming and this isn’t what it seems

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe I’m sure

That maybe you’re what I’ve been looking for

Some things never change

I’m trying to trust you but I can’t explain

I’m fighting my impulse to leave this and just run away

And I’m still trying not to let you see

How I always wear my heart out on my sleeve

STARS
Written by Martinette Williams 2012 ©

I know what this is

I won’t pretend that I am oblivious

And I won’t clench my fist

And we’ll forget the time I took a shot and missed

I know you’ll insist

But I’m aware that there is nothing more than this

When I’m alone you might be the one I miss

But I’m convinced

This is all there is

It doesn’t mean anything to me

You can hold my hand, tell me how you feel

It doesn’t mean anything to you

It’s just another night the stars will shine for you

And you can do the things you do

Thought I’d never be the one to stop you

So many things I thought I knew

I guess there’s no point understanding you

PLAYING WITH FIRE
Written by Martinette Williams 2012 ©

I know what you’d say

As you leave me out in the cold

I’ve heard it all

Hundreds of times before

I’m not gonna be the girl

You leave crying there on the floor

It’s not a game

You don’t make the rules anymore

We both know

This is wrong

Playing with fire

One day we’re both gonna get burned

When it’s all over

Forget the things we should have learned

Trying to just move forward

Made all these choices before

We’re playing with fire

And it doesn’t feel right anymore

I know what they’d say

They don’t understand what we are

I’ve heard it all

They think that you’re breaking my heart

I’m not gonna be the girl

You leave all alone in the dark

It’s not a game

But you’ve been playing me from the start

We both know

This can’t go on

Aaaaaaand for all you die-hard curry fans, here are the Guitar Baby chords:



GUITAR BABY
Written by Martinette Williams and Alisa Clapham 2008 ©



Its a cold night
A winter night
A curry night
Wednesday curry night

Curry delight

Guitar Baby
You drive me crazy

Guitar Baby

Am I gonna have salad tonight???
Salad can make everything alright!
Mmmm salad

I lost my wallet
No salad for me tonight

My mouth is gonna fall off
Too much curry
