    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.

    Sometimes I find myself just listening to James Bay for a whole week or two. My friends can't understand why, it's the emotions and stories that you can just feel and visualise delivered by his voice paired with the lyrics. *sigh*
    I don't know who or when I'm getting married but I want James to be there

    I am not sure if you (James Bay) will ever read this but your words and the way you convey your feelings through your voice have inspired me and helped me in so many ways. I just want to say thank you for existing and sharing your beautiful lyrics.
    Thank you. I am and forever will be a true fan of yours and your lyrics.

    This artist is one of the better singer songwriters that I have heard in along time. 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!

    "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 :)
