Richard Readey - Press Pause
Stoked to share my latest single of the year 'Press Pause' - really enjoyed making the video for this one. Huge thanks to Rob Burgess who designed the artwork with me pecking his head over Zoom - just lockdown things™

Lyrics:
You can't speed things up
And I can't slow things down
I can't play like this
Yet you seem happy now
I can't let this go
And leave it to fate to run it's course
If you can't let me go
Then press pause
Why does the start feel like the end,
Am I a fool to hope again,
And I know you felt it
You know I did too
My heart is bruising,
In the colours of you..
And I don't want them to fade..
I don't want them to fade ..
You can't speed things up
And I can't slow things down
I can't play like this
Yet you seem happy now
I can't let this go
And leave it to fate to run it's course
If you can't let me go
Then press pause
I'll be a souvenir
Of everywhere we've been
You're dancing
Inbetween the silence that I leave
My words don't conjure up the feelings
That I need to hear from you
No more
Why does it hurt to be your friend?
I want you to grow but I can't tend to you
And I only felt what I could feel,
This isn't it, there's something here
And I want you to stay..
And I want you to stay..
I'm in love with you but I know I can't say anything
My heart wants you but my head will stay here reticent
You can't speed things up
And I can't slow things down
I can't play like this
Yet you seem happy now
I can't let this go
And leave it to fate to run it's course
If you can't let me go
Then press pause
I'll be a souvenir
Of everywhere we've been
You're dancing
Inbetween the silence that I leave
My words don't conjure up the feelings
That I need to hear from you
So press pause
I'll be a memory
Of what we could have been
Not the prize or the eyes
of the ones you're falling in
I'll work on fixing all the faults I never had
Til then I'll pretend..
We pressed pause
