    "If You Ever Want To Be In Love"
    Saw you today after so much time
    Felt just like it used to be
    Talking for hours bout a different life
    Surrounding us in memories
    We were close, never close enough
    Where are we now
    'Cause if it's torn we can stitch it up
    Don't rule it out
    Oh no no
    I'll come around
    If you ever want to be in love
    I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
    If you ever want to be in love
    I'll come around
    Wanted to ask if we could have been
    But my tongue wouldn't break the seal
    You always had something effortless
    At school you were the biggest deal
    Little quirks close and open up
    Time is slipping by
    Always thinking 'bout the two of us
    Replay on my mind
    Always playing on my mind
    I'll come around
    If you ever want to be in love
    I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
    If you ever want to be in love
    I'll come around
    We were young, we were side by side
    Don't know when we started losing touch
    If you want we could walk around
    Maybe that would be enough
    Used to talk drinking to the night
    I would wake up on the front room floor
    All along you'd be in my bed
    Make me crazy make me want you more
    I'll come around
    If you ever want to be in love
    I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
    I'll come around
    If you ever want to be in love
    I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
    If you ever want to be in love
    I'll come around
    You're welcome :)

    I picture being him. Running into her, young love, failed love. I picture it being my fault. We hang out all night and just talk, reminisce about the past and I get home around 2am. I'm tired, but I know I will likely never see her again and I know that if I go to sleep I will never feel exactly the way I feel right now. I grab the guitar and a notepad and I write it all down. This is what I'd imagine I'd write down. James Bay - If You Ever Want To Be In Love. The story for us all. Just absolutely perfect.

    Imagine listening to this song for years & being reminded of a “certain someone” you’ve known since childhood… and then after 26 years you’re finally on a date with them- and this song starts playing in the restaurant. It’s stuff like this that makes me believe in destiny & fate.

Original soulful voice and willing to take chances with alternate tunings of guitar to produce a more robust sound. Like! Like!. Trying to catch this guy live. Everywhere is sold out! He is a really great guitar player! Seen him with Buddy Guy on a video. Keep on keeping on Mr. Bay!

    this song! You wrote a song about me and my husband. we used to eat lunch in high school together and I didn't know he liked me. i was a cheerleader. after high school we didn't talk for 9 years then rekindled on myspace and talked for 12 hours on the phone. he'd eventually stay the night in my living room while I slept in my bed.

    This will be my wedding song on 9.29.19. We went to high school together, and reconnected 10+ years later.

    He's like making love whilst singing or making love with his music, can't tell but there is something incredibly passionate about it, we must listen to this song and see him performing it in this video at the same time because they can't be separated, It's perfectly made
