After All 03:44
From pride and joy and apple of your eye It was understood what we were Ever boastful of a boastful child We’ve come a long way you and I Of course it wasn’t always like this We fought the silence and battle fields Never breaking down ‘cause we’re not built that way Tall poppies growing under sunlit trees We are one and the same after all I am you, you are me, Johnny was right We are one and the same after all I don’t mind, I’m ok, I don’t mind Under your wing, you let me fly It was always the point to go back She recounted stories under a smile We’ve come a long way you and I We pass by second chances just missed There’s nothing we can do about this Now we’re backing down though we’re not built that way Shine in the corner with nothing to say

Remind yourself that you needed this No more excuses and be glad for it It’s wasted enough of your precious time And God knows whoever else You’ve driven off the edge With your boring story What a useless emotion you could do without if you want Too easy to say, “Wait for it to come to you” So why don’t you? Guess you won’t be needing this no more Watch it perish like the rest before The world won’t wait for you It’ll live and breathe again And die like a listless wind Before a cool breeze

Moonlight 03:34
I’m talking to a boy but I’m sitting here miles away Words echo past in half time Please say it again, as I waste his day Can’t seem to get you off my mind There are places I’d rather be Quiet colour is what I’ll see Take a look at what’s inside Even though they’re trying to tell me holding is no good for me Finding it hard to realise Would you ever think of me under the moonlight? ‘Cause the very thought of you gets me so high My one wish is that you’ll really see me Maybe one day in time I’m living in this town Strange to say but I’ll stay today and tomorrow Leave it to me to wonder how and why There is no here in imagination Everybody knows I’m guilty Hiding my intent will only show that it is all a lie What you have it has taken me over and beyond dreams should be Finding it hard to read the signs

It’s another day, you find yourself on borrowed time Is there another way to find a love to keep you warm or does it really matter? There will come a time somewhere along the line He’ll love and she won’t change her mind Some things go on Flow on Others trip and miss Take it for what it is Looking at the sun, you’re blinded by transcending light Look behind you, run, the tide keeps inching ever closer, or maybe let it happen Mistakes in vain grow weary and ashamed Don’t worry, laugh and celebrate Long ago, excited and weak Only if he came Standing on the side of the street Waiting to hear her name

Time Out 03:50
I live in a bubble, not causing trouble The days go by, I stay inside One hour by the bed, the rest is in my head Tick tock goes the clock Time out, I’m taking some time out Taking my time, wasting my time I’ll go back into my suit and tie When my mind grows tired and dreary No, I’m not crazy nor hapless or lazy I keep it together like any other Nine-to-five days before moving away Turn off the music, it was all worth it
6.
The Visit 03:34
So we’re meeting again I’m losing sleep just like the last time - this is the end When our eyes connect, how will I be? Leave a lasting impression like a classic beauty “Throw it away” is sound advice Before I say, I’d better think twice Everything is melting like ice Tomorrow comes, what will be your prize? And when you have to leave Will it be a sad time or will you be relieved? Come again, I think that you should Leave your keys and pack your bags but only for good Slowly waking to the silence of my lonely room Evidently breaking a heart that’s out of tune I’m too young for that “Throw it away” is sound advice Before I say, I’d better think twice Everything is melting like ice Tomorrow comes, what will be your.. Will you find what you’re looking for? Turn around and I’ll be gone

You know that feeling you get when your heart skips a beat It could go either way but you don’t know which And in that moment she senses your fear Lovingly light it, coward in here Lucky for you, it subsides Lucky for you, you were saved Imagine the tragedy, imagine the regret If that moment went on one second longer Try to remember a time when you felt that kind of fear No, it’s only this one time And it’s that moment that defines what’s to be Lovingly bite it, coward in here

Funny 04:27
Are you my special friend? Will you dance with me? Are you my lovely friend? Will you come away with me? I take my time looking at you It’s enough to light the evening sky Ain’t it funny how you don’t even know me? There’s no division now, you don’t even need to ask me There is a reason, not a season for this Just close your eyes and try to find it There’s nothing more to say You can start by getting to know me Are you lonely friend? Won’t you dance with me? Are you my only friend? You sure you’d come away with me? I hold my breath, pretend so smile It’s ok, I have nothing to hide
9.
Is it the start of a beautiful life or the end of a comfortable one? It’s always the same With my guard down, I am open and shaken It’s always the same Hedge your bets, boy, you’ll never lose At least not your pride Because they will never know At least you don’t think so But they do know more than you You just hedge your bets, boy, you’ll never lose your pride Where to go with this curious life? Two steps sideways, it seems to me Is there someone to blame? With my blood, sweat and tears, I am patiently waiting It’s always the same
10.
You’d think months passing would be enough to rid myself of this sinking feeling But to my disappointment, it surrounds me still Like the smell of my mother’s perfume I should lay it to rest, say goodbye to the fantasy I have of you It means so little now So tired of exhausting my thoughts over you It seems I’m always looking for a potential you Don’t even know why anymore I started at A and ended at two I’m keeping it going for the sake of who Whoever comes will have the impossible task of walking in your shoes Because it’s what I want And if they don’t then I’ll walk on by I’d rather spend my time trying to find someone like you

about

Swissy releases her sophomore album, another charmer with a mix of jazz, folk, pop and electronic beats thrown in for good measure! Her vocals stay sweet and yet, have a more sultry timbre. Expect the usual Swissy harmonies and melodious tunes. Her songwriting and content, however, have evolved and matured as she experiments with different sounds and styles of music.

Have a listen and enjoy!
