Pray Lyrics

How many nights do you lie dreaming
I'm counting the days since you went away
When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning
What I would give to see you again

I'll Pray for you
Do you pray for me?
I'll pray for you

And you slipped away from me without talking
The look in your eye was stronger than this
And I drink alone to stop me from weeping
What's left of my heart is forever yours
Forever yours

I'll pray for you
Do you pray for me?
I'll pray for you

I know I know I know I know

Pray

A track from the Dublin band Kodaline's first album, "Pray" finds lead singer Steve Garrigan asking, "Do you pray for me?"

Garrigan wrote the song with guitarist Mark Prendergast and drummer Vinny May. When we spoke with May in 2014 , we asked him if this song reflected a spiritual side of the band. He replied: "We're all from Ireland and that's a Catholic place, but we're not really religious people. We don't go to church every day. That song is just a vehicle, kind of like an expression. Just saying that someone's going to pray for you, and asking if that is something you would do to try to help somebody: say a prayer for them. It's not because we're very spiritual people at all. We're Catholics, but it's got no bearing on our music."

Honest Lyrics

We don’t communicate can you not say what’s on your mind?
And I see it every day you hide the truth behind your eyes.
Honestly, there’s no need for you to hide.
Talk to me, can’t you see? I’m on your side.

Honest, honest.
Say what it is you’re trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that walks away.
Is it in you to be honest? Honest.
Is it in you to be honest?

I still remember the day we met I was hanging on your every word.
I didn't think I would ever let somebody see into my world.
Honestly, can’t you see? I’m on your side.

Say what it is you’re trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that's walking away.
Is it in you to be honest? Honest.
Is it in you to be honest?

Is it all in my head or was it something I said?
Because I’m trying to forgive, and now I’m trying to forget,
You’re telling me all of this, no more hearing of it,
It was all just a lie, was it all just a lie?
Now I’m walking away cause everything that you say
All that you ever tell to me is lies, lies.

Honest, honest. Is it in you to be honest?
Say what it is you’re trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that walks away.
Is it in you to be honest?
Honest. Is it in you to be honest?
Is it in you to be honest?

Honest Song Chart

The first single from Kodaline's second album, shows the band developing the trademark sound of their 2013 debut A Perfect World. They attributed the harder edge to producer Garret "Jacknife" Lee, who has worked with a variety of rock artists, including U2, R.E.M., Bloc Party, Snow Patrol and Weezer. "Jacknife opened our eyes to different ways of working," explained bassist Jason Boland. "He gave us a lesson in experimentation. The way he records is amazing. He has everything in the studio turned on, synths all over the place, instruments everywhere. If you want to play something, you pick it up."

Asked by Digital Spy about the reasoning behind the Coming Up For Air album title, Jason Boland replied: "It kind of crept up on us, the whole album. We finished it almost before we had the pressure to start doing it, really. It was our first moment of actually taking a breath and stopping as a band for nearly two years since we started touring, so it's kind of symbolic. It fits with where we were with the album."

The band wrote this epic ballad about a once close friend with whom they they all fell out. Vocalist Stephen Garrigan told The Sun: "It's about losing your trust in someone."

The One Lyrics

Tell me, tell me that you want me
And I’ll be yours completely, for better or for worse
I know, we'll have our disagreements
Be fighting for no reason, I wouldn't change it for the world
'Cause I knew, the first day that I met you
I was never gonna let you, let you slip away
And I still remember feeling nervous
Trying to find the words to get you here today

You make my heart feel like it's summer
When the rain is pouring down
You make my whole world feel so right when it’s wrong
That’s how I know that you are The One
That’s why I know you are the one

Life is easy to be scared of
With you I am prepared for what is yet to come
'Cause our two hearts will make it easy
Joining up the pieces, together making one

You make my heart feel like its summer
When the rain is pouring down
You make my whole world feel so right when it’s wrong
That’s how I know you are the one
That’s why I know you are the one

When we are together you make me feel like my mind is free
And my dreams are reachable
You know I never ever believed in love or believed one day
That you would come along

Free me
You make my heart feel like its summer
When the rain is pouring down
You make my whole world feel so right when its wrong
That’s how I know you are the one
That’s why I know you are the one
That’s why I know you are the one
That’s how I know you are the one

The One Song Chart

This anthemic tune was written the night before Kodaline engineer Phil Magee's wedding, and performed for the first time at the ceremony. "There were only 100 people there but it was scarier than playing Glastonbury," vocalist Stephen Garrigan told Q magazine.

Garrigan wrote the song for the happy couple as a last minute wedding present. "Like an idiot, I left writing it until the night before," he recalled.

Other songs originally written as wedding presents, which became successful releases in their own right include "The Day Before You" by Rascal Flatts and "Love Song" by The Cure.

Kodaline hadn't planned to record this for their Coming Up For Air album. During a gig in Toronto, a fan proposed to his fiancée onstage. She said yes, so Kodaline played Phil Magee's wedding song to mark the occasion. Some fans at that Toronto concert recorded their own version of the song and put it up on YouTube. Kodaline were so pleased with it, they decided to record the tune. Garrigan told Radio.com : "It's weird that it took somebody covering our own song to actually make us think about recording it and putting it on the album. That was definitely a first."
