lyrics

Is there someone
Somewhere out there
In that sky
Someone I can rely on
Keeping an eye on me
‘Cause lately it seems
It ain’t me
In control

Having trouble sleeping
Staring at the ceiling
Every night
So tired of fighting
Nothing turned out right
Am I falling behind
Wasted so much time
Waiting for some sign
Getting old

If only I had

Turned you down when I went along
And the other way around
Then I might ‘a hitched a ride out of this town

Turned down when I went along
And the other way around
Then I might ‘a hitched a ride out of this town
I’m still hanging around

Hate swallowing my pride
‘Cause I gotta provide
Grinding my teeth
Couldn’t find relief
By setting aside my beliefs
Every time I tried
Died a little more inside
Letting myself down

Possessed by fear
Looking back on the years
It destroyed
Any sense of joy
A helpless boy
Feeling unsafe in his own skin
With faith growing thin
The walls closing in
I just couldn’t get out

If only I had

Stayed in touch when I turned away
Said my goodbyes when I stayed
I would’ve made it by now if I’d been less afraid

Stayed in touch when I turned away
Said goodbye when I stayed
I would’ve made it by now if I’d been less afraid
What a mess I made

Yesterday
Yesterday

Hands of time at my throat
My heart heavy with regret
Love you so much more than I’ve shown
Anyone in their right mind would’ve left

I guess your crazy for me
I should’ve seen
My lady
My lady
My lady
My lady
My lady

If only I had

about

Guy Rooks Amsterdam, Netherlands

Folk, Blues, Soul, Pop… it’s all in there. “I find it hard to define my music and categorize it. To be honest, I don’t find it quite necessary.” Guy’s main source of inspiration? This thing we call life. “I’m trying to make sense of it all, and I happen to use my voice and a guitar to do so.“ But that didn’t come easy. The road to music was long and winding.
