Colours 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Everything was black and white, When I was walking down the street at night. And that was when I thought 'okay, right, It's time to fly, like a kite'. So I walked down to the field, And down on one knee kneeled, And then my fate was sealed. I knew the picture was real. It's an explosion, Of colours, And I love it, Oh I love it. Little house up in the hills, What colours do you hide? Secrets in the basement That I can't wait to find. Now as I'm slowly drifting off, I can finally believe (that this would always be) When my fate was sealed. I knew this wasn't a dream. I keep seeing colours burst, Into my eyes when I can't be distinguished, And though I keep on running, I love it, oh I love it. It's an explosion, Of colours, And I love it, Oh I love it. Yes an explosion, So many colours, And I love it, I really love it. I am done now, it's time to go, Everything is white and topped in snow. My time is up, I'm on the run, I'll leave now for the rising sun. It's an explosion, Of colours, And I love it, Oh I love it. Yes an explosion, So many colours, And I love it, I really love it.

Just A Fool 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Well you used to be a little nervous around other people. You made your way inside a room while planning your escape. It's easy to think that nobody likes you, nobody likes you. You like to think that they just don't get what you've got to say. What does it mean when nobody wants to give you the time of day? And what does it mean when not a single person wants to hear a single word that you say? 'Cause you're just a fool, And I'm just a tool, But we're alright, Yeah we're alright, Nobody's gonna keep us out of sight. You seem to be much more nervous than you were before. Staring at the people all around as if they're out to get you. She said it means that nobody likes you, nobody likes you. I like to think that you're too far ahead for people to comprehend. What does it mean when nobody wants to give you the time of day? And what does it mean when not a single person wants to hear a single word that you say? 'Cause you're just a fool, And I'm just a tool, But we're alright, Yeah we're alright, Nobody's gonna keep us out of sight. You're just a fool, And I'm just a tool. But we're alright, Yeah we're alright, Nobody's gonna keep us out of sight. We're alright, Yeah we're alright, Nobody's gonna keep us down tonight. 'Cause you're just a fool, And I'm just a tool, But we're alright, Yeah we're alright, Nobody's gonna keep us out of sight. We're alright, Yeah we're alright, Nobody's gonna keep us down tonight.

Walk Away 05:04
lyrics

I want to walk away but I don’t know if I can, I don’t know what to say but I want to talk to you. I want to see you today but I want you to want that too, If you just walk away then let me walk too. If you need me to leave today I’ll kick, scream, but I’ll go. If you need me to stay today I’ll tell you I love you so. If you need me see you now just say, I’ll be there dear, If you need me be there now, I’m always, always here. We’ll walk away from here, From the bad guy and the dark, We’ll run away from here, And get lost in each other’s arms. We’ll leave this bad place now, And run, it’s time to start, I see our future here, Please see it, it’s a form of art. I know you may not want me today but I just want you to know, Though I may want to walk away it’s just ‘cause I care for you. But if you think you may want me today, please just tell me so, Then I’ll drop all my stuff and run because I adore you the most. And we’ll walk away from them, From the bad guys and their words, We’ll run away from them, They say things worse than i’ve heard. We’ll leave this bad place now, It’s about time that we ran, I see our future here, You’re mine and I’m your man. I’ll run right round to your house, I’ll crash right through the door, I’ll run to you and hold you in my arms, then dear I’ll kiss you more. We’ll run together an pack your stuff faster than you ever saw, And then we’ll leave, we’ll say goodbye and love each other to our core. We’ll walk away from here, From the bad guy and the dark, We’ll run away from here, And get lost in each other’s arms. We’ll leave this bad place now, And run, it’s time to start, I see our future here, Please see it, it’s a form of art. And we’ll walk away from them, From the bad guys and their words, We’ll run away from them, They say things worse than i’ve heard. We’ll leave this bad place now, It’s about time that we ran, I see our future here, You’re mine and I’m your man. I wanted to walk away, I thought it was best for you, But now I’ve seen the true light, I know what I must do.

Watch Me Go 03:37
lyrics
buy track
On a night that was long ago, You said how I seemed mighty low, My fire and spark had all but gone, And Ill admit you weren’t far from wrong. But I, I wouldn’t go. You still helped me pack all my stuff, And you, God bless you, you weren’t that rough. And You, You helped me go. Now watch, Now watch me go, Now watch me go. I’ll go up to the hilltops, I’ll go and prove us wrong, But I won’t be gone for long, On my own I sing this song, How I won’t be gone for long. It’s something out of sight, And I don’t know if it’s right, But I won’t be back tonight, On my own I sing this song, How I won’t be gone for long. You showed me more than I’d ever know, Though I only wish I didn’t have to go, It only feels real with joy to share, And now I just wish I was there. And now, I’m on my own. And now, I’m coming home. I’m coming home. I’ll go up to the hilltops, I’ll go and prove us wrong, But I won’t be gone for long, On my own I sing this song, How I won’t be gone for long. It’s something out of sight, And I don’t know if it’s right, But I won’t be back tonight, On my own I sing this song, How I won’t be gone for long. Now on our own we sing this song, How we won’t be gone for long.

about

The Colours EP is the first release under Oceans & Islands, a project involving myself and my good friend Callum Baird.

I was stuck fighting a bout of writer’s block when Callum suggested making an EP. That day we wrote Walk Away, and began writing the EP. Colours is a fun, diverse, and contemplative collection of four songs we’re incredibly proud of.
