I am so happy I share the same last name with an incredible deeply feeling human like Stephen. With an honest heart, I am telling you, Stephen, your music, for me, for us, for you still helps me to this day. To survive, to want to be more. And with every song, you have the same way with words: you allign them in such a profound way, so they will hit even the deepest and dark part of our hearts, and shed a bit of light and hope there too.
I don't understand, why when I talk about Stephen, still no one knows who I mean... All your songs are so extremely great and I can't stop listening to them. Dude your songs are pure life energy.
*LYRICS* [Verse 1] All I ever wanted was To be the things that I was not When I tried to touch the stars My arms were never long enough I didn't care, 'cause it felt like I was getting there All the summer nights that I would stare up As I wondered what's out there But growing up ain't what I thought it would be [Chorus] I'm getting older, I miss the days When there was so much time left to waste It isn't over, there's still a chance That this is the man that I'll miss, and one day I'll say Come back to me, come back to me Come back to me, come back to me Come back to me, come back to me If I still have a childhood wish, make me the man that I'll miss [Verse 2] If I wrote a thousand songs I still don't think I'd understand Even if you sang along Louder than what's in my head I wanna know why it feels so good to be alone To be so damn small that I can let go Of the fear that I'm not good Man, growing up ain't what I thought it would be, no [Chorus] I'm getting older, I miss the days When there was so much time left to waste It isn't over, there's still a chance That this is the man that I'll miss, and one day I'll say Come back to me, come back to me Come back to me, come back to me Come back to me, come back to me If I still have a childhood wish, make me the man that I'll miss [Outro] The Devil can fly, what's down below Everything I need to know This is how we find a home This is how we find a home, yeah Yeah, I don't have to wake up This is where the fun starts We are, we are We are, we are We are, we are Dream on, dream on We are, we are Mm-mm, mm-mm
When we're children we dream to be a different man, a person of dreams that can do everything they desire. However, we grow up and learn how hard life is, how much do we need to struggle and stand to reach our dreams but when we finally do it, or when we're getting close to it, we turn back and wonder "where's the man I used to be?" and with that question, many fall from the hight losing their dreams and failing to their children self that once dreamed to reach that dream. But those who find the answer to the question: "That man change, moved on and grew up. That man is here and soon I'll reach my dream." Only those that find that answer are able to reach their dreams. We lose time, waste it as it doesn't care to lose it but when the time passes and we get older, we look back and understand how precious the time really is. Complaining and regretting won't bring it back, it won't solve anything. Just move on, keep going forward and fight for what you love, want, desire and believe. Follow your dreams and enjoy your life as much as possible. The man will come to you when the time has ended, but till then, you gotta live your life till the very end.
I can't believe this wasn't at the top of my recommended this morning, seeing as how often I've listened to Stay since it came out. Still one of the most instant clicks I've ever made :D I really appreciate how so many of your songs are about learning to love yourself; it's kind of an underrepresented musical topic I feel. This one is no exception; I feel like it's a solid sequel to Outro :)
And on that topic of loving oneself, while I agree with the bajillions that feel a collaboration between you and EDEN would be utterly astounding musically, I have to wonder what the lyrics would be like. You're all about loving yourself and having the strength to stand for good, while EDEN's lyrics are, like, the opposite; about failure, crippling anxiety, lies, cowardice, etc. You're like the angel and the devil on the shoulders of your respective fans; the yin-and-yang of this musical style (no idea what to call it.) I suppose it could make for an interesting back-and-forth but I really don't know how to even try to work a concordant harmony in between those two diametrically opposed lyrical styles :/
I know I'm still young, but that's the thing. I'm not getting younger. Few more months and my 18th birthday would come. There's nothing I can do but to look forward. No turning back now. Thinking about it, I'm really not ready yet and it's making me sad. This song speaks words that reaches my heart. Thank you for creating such a beautiful song, Stephen.
Stephen... I want to thank you for all the music that you make, it has gotten me through so much I don't expect a reply just know that you are doing more than you know
“If I still have a childhood wish, make me the man that I’ll miss.” We always talk about how we miss being a kid and having wild imaginations and freedom. These lyrics are really well thought out
This made me so emotionnal. When I read the discription, I thought the same way, thank you for those memories. Love the music! This song won my heart, good job Stephen!
Truly powerful and amazing. I like it as much as the Crossfire series! It's honestly a very beautiful song and I'm so glad to have discovered your work!
First of all, i'm from Brazil and all my friends find your music awesome! I've been listening carefully to all your songs since Bullet Train, and I just realized that you're a genius! Because your music go far beyond of only being something to listen, your music touch my soul, makes me cry sometimes, or they just make me stop crying. Do what you like, and it's going to be a perfect thing, just like all of your songs, love u dude, keep up the awesome work!
I love your Songs, they helped me last year going through depression and now, again, your songs help me get through sad times. Thanks for releasing such outstanding Music!
This song speaks to me personally like i feel no other song can. I wanna say im really proud of you Stephen, keep it up! You are helping so many people and you dont even realize it! I love your music, keep going and write what YOU wanna write. Thank you Stephen
Found you last year. And I'm so blessed I did. Music is life. And your music does beautiful things to my brain. Thank you. You are amazingly talented. It is so refreshing to know good music still exists. And has evolved into a new form of communication both visual and thought provoking. Thank you. You may not be where you thought. But you're exactly where and when you need to be! Thank you. :)
I think it's beautiful, it reminds me of my beautiful and worst memories. Today I am 13 years old, and I think I remember my special person with whom I do not enjoy much time. If this music is unique, the best music but, it's too late ... Too much to take advantage of ...
I wish that the song didn't end this fast! We miss you man I've been a fan since bullet train song! Gets me the same feeling everytime! Lots of love stephan + you made my day when I saw that you published some new stuff ❤💙
Hey Stephen. First of all, I love your music. Starting from Bullet Train back in the day going over Fly Down (I utterly love this one) and coming to every song you release. Your music is so unique and it always fits a certain mood which I simply can't get enough from. Thanks for being such a mastermind when it comes to music. Keep up the good work
So amazing and true lyrics love this man i heard this song somewhere at my friend's home and since then searched for it 4 hours and finally found it seriously live this
Your music never fails to hit home brother. You inspire me with every story that you create. Lots of love from a brother from India! Keep 'em coming, much love!
Stephen , I'm just WOWED! I totally love your music! Great lyrics! Music is dynamic! I'm 46 and feel exactly like this!! Love it!! Hugs from the 🇳🇱 Netherlands!!!😎🖤🎸🎙️🎵🎹
Been listening to your music for ages now, but only just found your website last weekend. I stayed up all night reading it all, you're a musician that I can truly connect with. Best of luck for the future man, you have my respect and my support forever.
This song really do be hitting different when I am so close to graduating highschool and some of my friends are even going abroad to pursue their future, and the fact that the crushing sense of adulthood and not knowing what to do with my life in the next few years or not knowing if I'll just end up as a failure as a human being are ever so prevalent and only now I'm realising how much time I wasted being a right knobhead :)
Hold the hope and drive that momentum you feel now is you tapping into the needs that we need to hear please stay strong be good nothing will hold you down when you give your self the hope and pray for strength you are the strength you've known and all that is what made you.
You've been helping me through some tough things recently stephen, Thank you sincerely ;) Your music really helps say the emotions i dont know how to comprehend. Your amazing man. Stay on track, dont get lost.
You're a blessing to the music industry. Been following you and your music for so long and you've always made everything so much better. You keep me going man, love you. ❤
Thank you Stephen for this song. All the power I need to face the life I can find it there, in your song. This song deserve more and Stephen too. Thank you again❤️
You are one of a kind, I mean im used to hear any kind of music, from Linking Park (rock) to Einaudi (piano) to Oliver Heldens (house), most likely anything, but i gotta tell you a thing Stephen, you are the only one that always heats my heart with Wonder Songs each time, i mean there is not a best song of you, there is not a least song of you. This is something i have never experienced in anyone, in any either singer or songwriter. Thank you for existing, thank you for loving your passion and heating my heart everyday A little star in the night sky our world is, Marco
I'm glad to hear from you again Stephen! Your music accompanied me through such a large part of my life now and your music still touches me the same way it did from the first time I listened to one of yours songs. Thank you
Man there isn't a single song I don't love by you! your music helps so many through the day, thank you. If you ever do a show or anything in the UK I'll make sure to be there! Keep doing what you do best and make the stuff you love :D
This is an amazing piece being added to all of your other songs that I love so much. I imagine that if I get further in my passion for producing music, that I'll have the same, or similar talent of yours, to be honest and just myself in my music. You're such an inspiration dude. Got hooked on you from Stay and Play Me Like A Violin. Hope to meet you someday.
keep crushing it man, this is incredible ❤️
CloudKid I'd like to thank you for existing :')

Well Bullet Train was rated appropriately I guess
I am so happy I share the same last name with an incredible deeply feeling human like Stephen.

this is honestly one of the better songs i've heard lately ❤️
*LYRICS*
[Verse 1]
All I ever wanted was
To be the things that I was not
When I tried to touch the stars
My arms were never long enough
I didn't care, 'cause it felt like I was getting there
All the summer nights that I would stare up
As I wondered what's out there
But growing up ain't what I thought it would be
[Chorus]
I'm getting older, I miss the days
When there was so much time left to waste
It isn't over, there's still a chance
That this is the man that I'll miss, and one day I'll say
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
If I still have a childhood wish, make me the man that I'll miss
[Verse 2]
If I wrote a thousand songs
I still don't think I'd understand
Even if you sang along
Louder than what's in my head
I wanna know why it feels so good to be alone
To be so damn small that I can let go
Of the fear that I'm not good
Man, growing up ain't what I thought it would be, no
[Chorus]
I'm getting older, I miss the days
When there was so much time left to waste
It isn't over, there's still a chance
That this is the man that I'll miss, and one day I'll say
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
If I still have a childhood wish, make me the man that I'll miss
[Outro]
The Devil can fly, what's down below
Everything I need to know
This is how we find a home
This is how we find a home, yeah
Yeah, I don't have to wake up
This is where the fun starts
We are, we are
We are, we are
We are, we are
Dream on, dream on
We are, we are
Mm-mm, mm-mm
R E A L. How the fuck do you have lyrics already
Brennan Archives 2 you should be as fast as The Flash 👀🤣
You're a hero
