Grateful
Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nearly stopped making tunes had alot of issues
With my ex, with my bro, with my job
With myself, with my world and it stopped
Things changed, that's real, I changed alot
I feel better now though, I feel better off
Sometimes I just need to stop
And think about everything in life that I got
He gave us everything he got
I remember that we were so young and so lost
Doing this at that age, I felt boss
I just can't, just can't, thank you enough
You put us on a path and now I know what I want
I'm grateful for all the time that you got
If i ever get rich I'll give you the whole lot
I remember last year, I thought my Bro might be gone
I didn't know where to hide, I didn't know where to run
When I think about. you, I think about mum
Didn't tell most my friends I was stuck
I know in the end it is tough, I love you
And I know that words aren't enough
Bars aren't enough, my hearts not enough
One day, I'll give you the stars and above, trust me
Somethings the same, that fabric tune was true
In some ways
Weeks later went off, in some place
It was just you there, the others were all late
For a moment, I thought we would both get weighed
Then I thought hold on, no wait
No I didn't want you there mate
But thank you for being there, just in case
Shout my old manager and mates
Thank you for giving me time and nuff space
I'm so proud of us all, that stuff changed
I'm so proud of us all, that stuff changed
Literally so proud of us
I'm so proud of us all, that stuff changed
When the sun shines, shines through the rain
