Gorgeous, gilded songwriting, Nick Wilson’s work is worth aligning next to Bon Iver or Ben Howard, with elements of Phoebe Bridgers’ emotional heft in there, too. As Nick puts it, he’s infatuated by the craft of songwriting. “The lovely thing about it,” he insists, “is that you can have these little pockets of space to play around in, but then you can do things really quickly off the back of them because they’re not quite tied in together. They can be separate things.”
Don't Let The Sunrise
Nick Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the way you take my breath away
It's only half of it
It's only half of it
Something in the way u say it
like we're the only ones who found our ways
and we stuck with it
ohhh we stuck with it
Just lean a little closer
Don't hate the sunrise
Caus' i want you to stay
Just rest your head over my shoulder
Let it all fade away
Hold me close and tell me you want me
The world is spinning fast

I am short of words to say
The way you take my breath away
