about

Unusually nice winter day + seaside + notepad + pen = a debut single.

It's a happy song, be it about love, friendship or whatever else.

lyrics

1) I like to hold your hand, and build castles out of sand,
And we could chill by the beach and run around the strand,
‘Cause when I’m with you, everything seems grand
We can be free from plans, and get around the bans
I think we fit together like pots and pans
So hand in hand, let’s explore this endless land

CHORUS:
When a page looks blank, you’re the colouring pencil
Which turns the fumes into rainbows , hairy spiders into unicorns
You are the rain I like to dance in, you are the needle in the hay,
So please stay - ‘cause I’d have nothing If you went away

2) When we sit on the same bench in the same park,
I’m so glad to be with you as we break through the dark,
I know you’re made for me, and I think it’s quite stark
I can’t help myself getting lost in your eyes, ‘cause your eyes are nicer than my mum’s apple pies
Clocks stop their marathon when you’re with me, so take my hand,
And come with me, and let’s explore all places that we should we go see

CHORUS

3) It’s great how one I love is also my best friend
How time with you is always time well spent
So take my hand and come with me,
And let’s explore all the places that we should go see
