Worried 03:30
I worry that I call too much, then I worry we won't keep in touch and I know they say they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder but I feel too far away. And i'm worried that you'll forget the things you've said, Another face will take my place and i'm worried that you don't seem very worried at all. // I'm worried that you won't need me, and i'm worried that won't you miss me I'm worried that your feelings have changed oh i'm worried that we don't feel the same I guess i'm worried you won't miss me // I'm worried that you'll think i'm selfish for the way i've put this into words and i'm worried that the last I heard your voice you were saying that i've made the wrong choice I'm worried that you'll come and go, that you'll make me hope that you'll keep me close Then you turn your back and suddenly you're cold and i'm worried that you don't seem very worried at all. // Oh, I'm worried that you won't need me, and i'm worried that won't you miss me I'm worried that your feelings have changed oh i'm worried that we don't feel the same I guess i'm worried you won't miss me // I'm worried that with one small word You could change my world I'm worried that I won't end up your girl and i'm worried that you don't seem very worried at all // Oh I'm worried that you won't need me, and i'm worried that won't you miss me I'm worried that your feelings have changed oh i'm worried that we don't feel the same I guess i'm worried you won't miss me //

Circles 02:29
Been on this path for a while now Thought I was headed in the right direction Though somehow, I am lost again Though I have taken these steps before and it's familiar, i'm not going to get very far Before we're back here again // These circles that we're making Aren't helping anyone No these circles that we are stuck in Will only lead us to right back where we started from // Every time I hit a cross road I stay on this path, even though I know it's still the same I like to hope it might have changed Though I have taken these steps before and it's familiar, i'm not going to get very far Before we're back here again // These circles that we're making Aren't helping anyone. No these circles that we are stuck in Will only lead us, will lead us to right back to These circles, that we're making Aren't fooling anyone. No this circles, that we are stuck in Will only lead us, will lead us to right back to These circles These circles, that we are stuck in Will only leave us as broken-hearted fools I'm still in love with you //

More 02:58
More, More I want to make something different, make something special Make something, that has a good cause. I want to make something different, make something wonderful Make something, so you won’t forget my words // Make something more, Be something more // I want to write for the children who have no voice, I’m going to write for women who have no better choice I want to write for people who have no homes I'm going to write a song for all the world’s lost souls // Write something more, Be something more // For all of those mountains you thought were too high to climb, To all of those people who told you not to try For all of those times you had to ask yourself why, You didn’t put down your arms and stop violent fights // You could have been more, oh you could be so much more // I want to see King’s Dream, or what Lennon had imagined I want to see a world filled with more compassion I want to see people who are happy with their lives, Instead I see a race who waste time // Oh you could be so much more, You could be so much more I hope I find something more, I'm trying to give so much more // I want to make something different, make something special Make something, more than empty words.

Can't Say 03:26
If I could keep you, in my pocket could I convince you, that what we've got is enough, though at times it seems too much The right people, wrong timing we've found something, that's worth finding Though you're not ready for this // It hurts so good, and yet it hurts too much and I can feel it building, at the bottom of my heart The tears are streaming, oh this is what i'm feeling Oh this what I can't say Yeah this is what I cannot say to you Oh this is what I cannot say to you // When you asked me what's the difference Between a best friend, and lover I wanted to say this is Yeah this is what they're missing If you told me, that what you needed Was me to go somewhere I'd drop everything to be there Regardless of my own plans Now do you understand // It hurts so good, and yet it hurts too much and I can feel it building, at the bottom of my heart The tears are streaming, oh this is what i'm feeling Yeah this is what I cannot say // What I can't say is I miss you What I can't say is that I need you Oh what I cannot say, what I couldn't say Is that I hope you'll say you feel it too What I cannot say is that I need you too much What I cannot say is that you are my drug What I cannot say, what I couldn't say What I would have said, What I should have said What I didn't say, What I need to say, What I have to say is I love you what I have to say is that I'm in love with you I love you, I feel you, I need to be near you I want to be with you I wish you would say that you feel this way too // Hurts so good, and yet it hurts too much and I can feel it building, at the bottom of my heart Tears are streaming, oh this is what i'm feeling Yeah this what I cannot say Oh this is what I cannot say to you //

I wonder if i've met you yet I'm confident I would not forget I wonder if our paths have crossed at all If i've seen your face before I wonder if you'll be much taller Perhaps you'll be a little bit shorter I'm sure we'll work it out in the end And we'll be the best of friends I'm in no rush, to feel like i'm in love I know these things take time So for the moment i'll be fine Though some days are rough, and I fear that i'll be lonely I know i'll be your only one some day // So i'm happy to wait, for that day When my whole word, will change I know you'll feel the same And I won't have to explain Why I felt this way Each step I take leads me straight to you // I'm in no rush, to feel like i'm in love I know these things take time So for the moment i'll be fine Though some days are rough, and I fear that i'll be lonely I know i'll be your only one some day // So i'm happy to wait, for that day When my whole word, will change I know you'll feel the same And I won't have to explain Why I felt this way Each step I take leads me straight to you //

Again 03:26
// Here we go again Here we go again We're going to keep fighting Never reach an end Oh here we go again can't we just pretend we've learnt the lesson now It's never going to end well Here we go again Here we go again // Well if I say i'm sorry Would you open up the door? And can I take back everything I said before What if I say i'm willing To give this another try Would you try to keep me calm Say it's going to be alright? If I say i'm better now I'm going to keep quiet I've seen the error of my ways Don't want to start a riot Oh what if I say I didn't mean what I said? When I told you that I loved you I was quite off my head // Oh here we go again Here we go again, again // What if I say I miss you like I never have before What if I say I need you even though i'm not quite sure What if I say I want you back in my life again? Well that's a load of ifs and maybes, Not a lot of when What if I say i'm doing fine, it's only been a week Well weeks turn into months you know in the time it takes to blink What if I say that I want to be just friends? That's a load of bullshit // And here we go again, and here we go again, again // Then there comes a time where we both go quiet Oh there comes a time when no-ones knocking on the door Then there comes a time when our relationship is silent we both admit defeat so the cycle can repeat //oh here we go again, here we go again, again again and again and again Here we go again Here we go again We're going to keep fighting Never reach an end Oh here we go again can't we just pretend we've learnt the lesson now It's never going to end well Well, oh, and here we go again //

Miss You 03:40
Whenever I call, you sound far away There's no point singing songs you can't hear anyway The point of it all, is that I moved too far away There's no substitute for having you near I hope I don't sound selfish, or worse insincere I guess this is my fault, i'm the one who disappeared This unfamiliar feeling comes creeping on in I'd like to keep it at bay, under my skin I don't want you to think, that i'm not coping // Oh but I miss you Like a sadist misses pain Or a familiar face to blame Yeah I miss you And I wonder do you ever miss me like I miss you Oh like I miss you// I know you're still hurt, that I ran away I'm sorry i'm the reason you went through so much pain Though if I had the chance, I would do it all again I never call it makes me miss home too much Though it just makes you think, that I don't give a fuck And the point of it all, is that I moved and you stayed Oh that same old feeling comes creeping back in I tried to keep this at bay, under my skin I didn't want you to know, that i'm not coping // Oh but I miss you Like the sun misses the moon Or a babe missing the womb Yeah I miss you And I wonder do you ever miss me like I miss you Like I miss you Do you miss me like I miss you too // Whenever I call, you sound far away There's no point singing songs you can't hear anyway The point of it all, is that I moved too far away // Oh but I miss you Like a boat missing the sea Or a lock missing it's key Yeah I miss you, and I wonder - do you miss me too? //

Take Me Away 03:47
Take me away To someplace Where the only sound is rain We could wash away All our fears of yesterday Oh we could both forget All those awful things i've said Take me away Far from this place To somewhere I can escape Is it a sign of failure To say that you are scared? Is it a sign of weakness To tell someone you care? // Oh i'm sick and tired Of your inconsistence I'm sick of right and wrong It's just a matter of opinion Oh I'm sick and tired Of you acting indifferent I'm sick of right and wrong It's just a matter of opinion Oh take me away // Take me away, Somewhere safe Where our dreams Won't go to waste We could hide away Build our futures on today Oh we could both pretend We don't know that this will end Take me away, far from this place To somewhere I can escape Is it a sign of failure To say that you are scared? Is it a sign of weakness To tell someone you care? // Oh i'm sick and tired Of your inconsistence I'm sick of right and wrong It's just a matter of opinion Oh I'm sick and tired Of you acting indifferent I'm sick of right and wrong iI's just a matter of opinion oh take me away // oh take me away oh take me away oh take me away Oh i'm getting tired Of your inconsistence And i'm getting tired Of you acting indifferent Take me away

Scan the reflection for imperfections Magnifying flaws you can't see truth, anymore You've seen this face a thousand times A thousand faults i'm sure you find Before you see the things that make you, you // You're going to find, exactly what you set your mind to You'll always see what you believe in You'll only know, the places that you let yourself go Should i waste my last breath, trying to get through to you? // Searching the window for cracks in the glass Scratches on the surface And fingerprints from the past You miss the world as it passes by A waterfall of trees and sky You're too caught up in what you think is wrong // You're going to find, exactly what you set your mind to You'll only see what you believe in You'll always know, the places that you let yourself go I would waste my last breath, trying to get through to you // I'm trying to get, through to you

The Way 04:12
It wasn't the way, you were always there for me You'd skip half your lessons, if I needed you to listen. And it wasn't the way, we were too young for the bars and the clubs, and we'd rather that 3am bakery fun. It wasn't the way you held my hand, As if everything was finally going to plan. And it wasn't the way you kissed my cheek Before catching your plane and leaving me It wasn't the way you said goodbye Holding me close, you looked me straight in the eye And said "I really love you" // It was in the way, you couldn't believe Someone like you, could love someone like me And it was in the way, that you denied opening your heart and letting us try It wasn't the way you said you loved me And it wasn't the fact that I said it back It wasn't the way you said I really love you And it wasn't the way that I said I loved you too // And it's not the way, that you will not speak to me Or that everyone's shocked and do not know what to say to me. And it's not the way that every time, I hear someone's heart ache I break down and cry. And it wasn't the way you said goodbye holding me close, you looked me straight in the eye and said "I really love you" // It was in the way, you couldn't believe Someone like you, could love someone like me And it was in the way, that you denied Opening your heart and letting us try It wasn't the way you said you loved me And it wasn't the fact that I said it back It wasn't the way you said I really love you And it wasn't the way that I said I love you too // I know you once said, you need to get lost in order to find, the things you can trust But my greatest mistake was losing myself Was losing myself, was losing myself In the dreams that we made I know I once said, I'll always love you 'till the end, you said "you're a great friend"

​I like my music slow, my tea lukewarm and the vocal improv everlasting.

In daily life I find things can get overwhelming, Camilla Jones is a gentle attempt to slow down and remember what's important. Through soothing, delicate melodies and honest journal-to-song lyrics I hope to help unwind, unravel, and un-complicate fellow tightly-strung minds. ... more
