about

"for the both of us" is a song about what happens after a romantic relationship ends.
The dreams you held together, you plans you made.. what do you do with it all? It's sad because not only does the relationship die, but so does your future life with that person.
When I wrote it I'd just been broken up with, and was thinking about all the things I would miss and all the things we wouldn't get to do anymore.
I started off writing this on guitar and then worked with Shivum Sharma to add the strings and it turned into something really beautiful that I'm so proud of.
I don't usually like to use the whole 'turn your heartbreak into something positive' but I'm glad I got a good song out of it!

lyrics

Verse 1
when I get a dog I’ll still name him ‘Bear’
Might still move to Brighton even if you’re not there
Life don’t stop living because you left
Guess I’ll keep our dreams alive…

Chorus
For the both of us

Verse 2
When I get the chance I’ll meet Gregory Porter,
And drag my new man along though he probably won’t want to
He won’t get
The sentiment
I’ll just keep our dreams alive..

Chorus

Outro
We wanted all the things
Ended up with nothing
