lyrics

VERSE
This feels so familiar
(We've been here before)
Each direction I turn there's a lesson to learn
It's really nice to meet you
(I must be moving on)
Now if I choose to go will this door forever close

CHORUS
Oh it's no big deal, no great shakes
I've learned from my mistakes
Oh I know, it's been hard
You can't reap from life's pleasure
When you're full of half-measures
Let's try to start over again
Let's try to start over again

VERSE
I'd really like to meet her
(She'd like to meet you too)
But she's so far away, and there's nowhere to stay
If love is not the answer
(Then what else can be true)
Although it's hard to explain
I won't be seeing you again

CHORUS
Oh it's no big deal, no great shakes
I've learned from my mistakes
Oh I know, it's been hard
You can't reap from life's pleasure
When you're full of half-measures
Let's try to start over again
Let's try to start over again

VERSE
I'd really like to meet her
(She'd like to meet you too)
But she's so far away, and there's nowhere to stay
If love is not the answer
(Then what else can be true)
Although it's hard to explain
I won't be seeing you again

After cooking on a low heat since 2018's Country Songs EP, the gang are excited release their second E.P Don't Turn Around ... more
