  • On the Drive Home

    On the Drive Home is a song by Andrew Charman-Williams. It is a reasonably uptempo rock/pop song with a slight country rock feel.

    Lyrics

    I’m leaving work, the sun is setting low
    Traffic’s heavy, but my mind is free to roam
    I turn the music up, and let my thoughts take flight 
    On the drive home, everything feels just right

    I’m leaving the city, leaving the stress behind 
    On the drive home, I finally feel alive 

    On the drive home, everything feels right 
    All my worries, they fade into the night
    On the drive home, I finally feel free 
    To be myself, to just be me 

    I’m driving past the fields and the old farm land 
    The sky is orange and the clouds are shifting sand 
    I take a deep breath, and let my senses take in
    On the drive home, it’s like a new beginning 

    I’m leaving the city, leaving the stress behind 
    On the drive home, I finally feel alive 

    On the drive home, everything feels right 
    All my worries, they fade into the night 
    On the drive home, I finally feel free 
    To be myself, to just be me 

    I’m heading home, to where my heart belongs 
    I’m leaving behind the chaos and the throngs 
    On the drive home, I’m at peace 
    With the world, with myself, I am released 

    I’m almost home, I can see the lights
    I’m almost home, I can feel the love inside 
    I pull in the driveway, and turn off the car 
    On the drive home, I’ve traveled so far

    I’m leaving the city, leaving the stress behind 
    On the drive home, I finally feel alive 

    On the drive home, everything feels right 
    All my worries, they fade into the night
    On the drive home, I finally feel free 
    To be myself, to just be me 

    On the drive home, everything feels right 
    All my worries, they fade into the night 
    On the drive home, I finally feel free 
    To be myself, to just be me 

    On the drive home, I’ve come to know 
    All that I’ve been, and all that I’ll grow 
    On the drive home, I finally see 
    All that I am, and all that I’ll be. 
    On the drive home

  • Mirror Mirror

    Mirror Mirror is a laid back, predominantly acoustic song with folk, rock and pop influences by Andrew Charman-Williams.

    Lyrics

    In the mirror’s gentle gaze I stand, 
    Reflecting thoughts, a shifting land. 
    Eyes that hold both joy and pain, 
    A canvas where emotions reign.

    Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
    You hold my truth, you see it all. 
    With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
    mirror mirror don’t let me fall

    Each line etched by fleeting years, 
    Stories told, whispers of tears.
    Smiles that dance like morning light, 
    And furrowed brows in silent night.

    Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
    You hold my truth, you see it all. 
    With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
    mirror mirror don’t let me fall

    Oh, mirror, show me who I’ve been, 
    The battles fought, the growth within. 
    Every scar every rise and fall 
    reflect my spirit standing tall 

    Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
    You hold my truth, you see it all. 
    With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
    mirror mirror don’t let me fall

    In the morning’s gentle light 
    in the shadows of the night
    reflect the beauty the pain I bear 
    in your glass it’s all laid bare

    Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
    You hold my truth, you see it all. 
    With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
    mirror mirror don’t let me fall

  • Found My Peace

    Found my Peace is a laid-back song by Andrew Charman-Williams

    Lyrics

    Sitting on my porch, watching the world go by 
    Feeling the sun on my skin, the wind in my eye 
    Peace and contentment is all that I need

    No worries, no stress, just pure serenity 

    Cause I’ve found my peace, in the simple things 
    In the quiet moments, my heart sings

    No need for fame or fortune or greed

    Just the beauty of life, that’s all I need

    The sound of the birds, the rustle of leaves 
    Nature’s symphony, it brings me to my knees 
    In this peaceful place, I’m free to be me

    No mask, no pretense, just authenticity 

    Cause I’ve found my peace, in the simple things 
    In the quiet moments, my heart sings

    No need for fame or fortune or greed

    Just the beauty of life, that’s all I need

    I’m just letting go of what I can’t control

    Just seeking peace and healing my soul

    Cause I’ve found my peace, in the simple things 
    In the quiet moments, my heart sings

    No need for fame or fortune or greed
    Just the beauty of life, that’s all I need 

    Sitting on my porch, watching the world go by 
    Feeling the sun on my skin, the wind in my eye 
    Peace and contentment is all that I need

    No worries, no stress, just pure serenity. 

  • Eternal Aching

    Eternal Aching is a slow to medium tempo rock song by Andrew Charman-Williams

    Lyrics

    In the darkness of the night 
    I hear your voice so clear 
    Calling out my name
    But you’re not here 

    Oh, how I long for you
    My love, my heart is breaking 
    I’m lost without you
    In this eternal aching 

    I see you in my dreams
    But when I wake, you’re gone 
    I’m holding on to nothing
    But the memory of you 

    Oh, how I long for you
    My love, my heart is breaking 
    I’m lost without you
    In this eternal aching 

    I’ll wait for you forever
    In this lonely place
    I’ll keep your love inside me 
    Until we meet again

    Oh, how I long for you
    My love, my heart is breaking
    I’m lost without you
    In this eternal aching 

    Oh, how I long for you
    My love, my heart is breaking
    I’m lost without you
    In this eternal aching 

    In the darkness of the night 
    I’ll hear your voice so clear
    Calling out my name
    But you’re not here
    You’re not here
    You’re not here
    You’re not here

  • Fragile

    Fragile is a song by Andrew Charman-Williams.

    Lyrics

     I’ve been through so much pain before
    And now you come to give me even more
    Oh yeah I can see it in your eyes
    Don’t say a thing don’t tell me any lies

    Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
    Handle me with care
    Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
    Show me that you care

    I’d always hoped that we would never part
    But now you’re here to stab me in my heart
    Are you so sure that there can be no way
    For us to be as one for love to always stay

    I’d try to smile but the pain gets in the way
    I can’t help but it hurts so much today

    Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
    Handle me with care
    Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
    Show me that you care

    I know that there will be more pain and sorrow
    But for me there will be a tomorrow
    I have taken oh so many knocks
    Maybe you should stamp upon my box

    Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
    Handle me with care
    Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
    Show me that you care
    Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
    Handle me with care
    Fragile

  • Unspoken Love

    Lyrics

    I didn’t mean to fall in love with you
    I didn’t want all the pain it’s put me through

    Unspoken love
    Though I’m sure you knew
    Unrequited love
    All I have with you 

    My feelings for you are easier left unsaid
    But it’s a battle between my heart and my head

    Unspoken love
    Though I’m sure you knew
    Unrequited love
    All I have with you 

    I’m sure you know how I feel in my heart
    But I’m glad it stays unsaid so we’re not pushed apart
    Cause your friendship is so special to me
    Wouldn’t want that wrecked for something that can never be

    Unspoken love
    Though I’m sure you knew
    Unrequited love
    All I have with you 

    How I wish it could be another way
    But it can’t so it will always stay

    Unspoken love
    Though I’m sure you knew
    Unrequited love
    All I have with you 
    Unspoken love
    Unrequited love
