- A Letter - LivePerformed by: Oliver Richman
This is a letter
To when it gets better
I hope that I read it one dayWhen people are kinder
And I need a reminder
That the troubles of now
Are far awayI hope when I sing this tomorrow
I’ll hear how the chords rearranged
I hope I look back and smile
At how things have changedOoo, Ooo, Ooo
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo
Ooo, Ooo, OooOoo, Ooo, Ooo
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo
Ooo, Ooo, OooThings will change

- 1/2 - LivePerformed by: Oliver Richman
1/2
I’ve never been the one to walk away
I’ve never been the one you wish would stay
But I’m someone you still run to
Easier than 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-One
But you’ve never been the one to
You’ve never been the one to fight and win
You’ve never been the one through thick and thin
Only when it’s fun to
Only when it’s 1/2 1-2-1-2
One too many stays
One too many flights
I’ve lost too many days
You’ve won too many nights
Still I’ll never be the one to
If only I could be the one, too - January - LivePerformed by: Oliver Richman
January
Was supposed to be my chance to begin again
But always seems to lead me
To a place that I’ve been again
I hate what all my New Year’s resolutions became
Watching how it stays the sameJanuary
If only you would slow down and wait for me
Perhaps it wouldn’t feel like
What I want is too late for me
How many months I’ve sung these words before
At least I have 11 more
To get it right
To follow through
To do what I set out to do
To feel the light
This song could carry
Before its reprise next
JanuaryJanuary
I don't know where I've gone
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm supposed to be
I watch the world move
I watch my friends keep growing
I wonder if they feel like meJanuary
I know I broke the promise I swore to you
I know it's dumb
To try this late to manifest more from you
I know the past refuses to believe I still can
When I'm back where I beganJanuary
Your garden’s looking lonely and dry again
But all the seeds I planted aren’t ripe for “goodbye” again
Don’t tell me that the dreams I have are too late to grow
I still have a long way to go
To get it right
To follow through
To do what I set out to do
To feel the light this song could carry
Even when it’s well past JanuaryJanuary
I don't know where I've gone
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm supposed to be
I watch the world move on
I watch my friends keep growing
I wonder if they feel like me
I wonder if they feel like me - Too Late - LivePerformed by: Oliver Richman
Too late
Sometimes I’m just too late
Why do the hands of time
Go by so fast?Till everything feels too late
Next time my heart won’t wait
Knowing this hour’s chime
Will never lastAt least that’s what I said
In the past
But look where we are now
Somewhere that I don’t remember agreeing to get to
The future seems far now
But one day you wake up and realize
The dreams you’re in debt to
The words you regret to say
At least were said
At least were spoken
But a dream you let fade away
Inside your head
Can’t be awoken
Is it better to keep delaying
An outcome that might not be great
Or to fall off the track
Knowing when you look back
You won’t be saying
Too late
