about

Taken from Oktoba's debut album 'Smoke Signals'

lyrics

I’ve been going back and forward
Going places I don't want to go
But my ghost keep telling me to ride along

And hold the door don't leave me hanging
Find a cure to this inner madness
I’m not lost in love
I’m just going blind

But if I don’t find my way soon I might cry
But if all I have is you then I’ll be fine

Don’t need much for this one way sadness
Just enough to secure this panic
I keep on lining them up
and you just knock them down


And to the rest I tell my stories
Cos in this chest beats a heart of glory
As in my life
I’ve love, laughed, seen and tried

But if I don’t find my way soon I might cry
But if all I have is you then I’ll be fine

But all love is gone
It’s been dried up
and served to us all as a metaphor

So run and tell your god
That we’ve got higher hopes
For this flesh and bone

And one day when we are older
And I say those words I told ya
You’ll stare at me with those eyes of
I knew you would

But if I don’t find my way soon it’ll be alright
Cos if all i have is you then
well I’ll be fine
