lyrics

Everything in my day is swayed to searchin,
For any sign of you,
Without a care for what I'm blind to,
Or any kind of truth,

Just a reference in conversation,
Or the title of a magazine,
And when name hits lord I feel it,
the absence and the longing in between,

Still sometimes I wish I'd made it known,
Just how much I thought of it,
All our exploration felt like home,
Until you're pulled out of a dream,
And the cold water reality hits.

And I come back following my home ties,
Return to old habits just like old times,
And everybody's talking about our summer town,
But I wish was in Chelsea,
With her snow all coming down,

Girl I knew what to say on our last day,
But I just couldn’t say it,
Will we ever speak what we really feel,
We just doubt and downplay it,

Still sometimes I wish I'd made it known,
Just how much I thought of it,
All our exploration felt like home,
Until you're pulled out of a dream,
And the cold water reality hits,

And I come back following my home ties,
Return to old habits just like old times,
And I know it's getting dark in the afternoons,
But I wish I was in Chelsea,
with her blossom all in bloom.

I want you so bad its howling inside my head,
Are we better off not worrying about regret,
If only I knew as soon as I had left,
I'd be wishin I was in Chelsea,
With her skyline silhouette

Miles Calder Wellington, New Zealand

Singer/songwriter Miles Calder delivers cutting lyrics with an expressive voice. A few years since the last outings with former backing band The Rumours, Miles has emerged with a revived sound, fresh songs and a new band. His new self-reflective songs move from understated folk-rock to swirling psychedelia, evoking early 70s Lennon as much as contemporaries like Kevin Morby or Father John Misty. ... more
