about
This is a bit of a stealth collaboration. I saw samhealer's lyrics for 9 Days on 50/90 in 2011, and just couldn't get them out of my head. I wrote and recorded this song before I asked for permission to use Sam's lyrics. Thankfully, samhealer was kind enough to give me the OK to post this.
lyrics
[CHORUS]
There are 9 days between us
While a second's too long
9 days make a difference
And the difference is wrong
A year of emotions
Can pass in a day
And the feelings that you have
Just won't go away
It takes a little longer
Than you hoped that it would
All the fretting in your head
Is doing you no good
[CHORUS]
You may have grown impatient
But you didn't grow up
I'm trying to convince
You that I'll still show up
I know that it scares you
When you're wrong in your dreams
And the life you see before you
Isn't what it seems
[CHORUS]
Take the time to consider
That's it's not too rough
And you'll realise
That 9 days is enough
There are 9 days between us
While a second's too long
9 days make a difference
And the difference is wrong
A year of emotions
Can pass in a day
And the feelings that you have
Just won't go away
It takes a little longer
Than you hoped that it would
All the fretting in your head
Is doing you no good
[CHORUS]
You may have grown impatient
But you didn't grow up
I'm trying to convince
You that I'll still show up
I know that it scares you
When you're wrong in your dreams
And the life you see before you
Isn't what it seems
[CHORUS]
Take the time to consider
That's it's not too rough
And you'll realise
That 9 days is enough
