Promises

Something so sweet could change your mind
Change everything, but you'd remain blind
Your view of the world changes in time
Say things you don't mean, things so unkind
Promises are never kept, we just keep swimming up to our necks in it.
You just don't know what you want
You keep up your climb to get to the top
The future, you think, is all that you got
But you still don't know what it is that you want
Promises are never kept, we just keep swimming up to our necks in it.

Nothing's Certain

Broke my heart with happiness just to see you smile
In a world where nothing's certain I'll just watch through ageing eyes
I haven't yet decided what you'll be, I haven't made my mind
But I'm sure it's something I could never think of
with your tiny hands in mine
Nothing in my life before has ever felt so big
Yet small enough to wrap up warm and rest upon my fist
I know I'm not the first and I shall not be the second
Or the last to say I knew this day would come
But I never would be ready

Take Flight

I wanna take flight, I wanna be free
Nobody else, I wanna be me
But these wings weren't built for air
I'm not going anywhere
I wanna be great, great as I can
Want people to see that I'm a good man
But to good deeds people are blind
That won't stop me being kind
I wanna take flight, I wanna soar
Wanna meet and greet the people abroad
But my wings have flown enough for now
It's time to rest and time to nest for now
People want me to be what they want to see
Well I've been what you need so now it's time for me to be me.

This Little Plan

This little plan sounded better in my head
I looked it over time and time again
And then you said you're spent
And just like that, you went
No regrets is what we decided on
But I can't help thinking I was always in the wrong
And then you said you're spent
And just like that, you left
Can't say it's been a waste
But not a day I wish I'd stayed

Nicholas Ellerby (formerly Buck Jr.) has been quietly hibernating of late, putting together new material and is now ready to share a collection of raw, organic releases he's been putting together. Trying his hand at production, these songs shine the best bits of Buck Jr. and add new texture and life to Ellerby's unmistakeable song writing. ... more
