    Diamonds In The Rafters is the second album from Chasing Deer.

    The album is a journey of self-reflection, written during the first two weeks of January 2022, on a songwriting retreat in Margate, in collaboration with Ollie Hayes.

    This album marks Rob's first time exploring deeply personal lyrics. The lyrics cover a wide area of human emotion, ranging from grief and loss to euphoria and living in the moment, from self-doubt to confidence and triumph.

lyrics

Brick by brick
I've been building this up
Never found my gold
Panning in this mud
I had someone I could really trust
Wish I'd never left
Never gone, never given up

On the wave of feeling from teenage dreaming
Wish I could see wish I could see then
The deeper meaning that my heart
My heart always knew
Its always been you

I'd cross over oceans so you can see
There's no one else there never was cause
It's always been you
All the time that I waited so stupidly
Cause it's always been, its always been you
I missed every moment
It's always been you
A perfect chance to tell you the truth
It's always been you
My missing component has always been you
There's no one else there never was
Yeah, it's always been you

Catch me up got to teach me to feel
Overthink my emotions just in case they were real
Felt a lifetime without you, and that's more than enough
Should have never left, never gone, never given up

But the real reason for upping and leaving
I started to see, I needed completing
And I believe it, what my heart
My heart always knew
Its always been you

I'd cross over oceans so you can see
There's no one else there never was cause
It's always been you
All the time that I waited so stupidly
Cause it's always been, its always been you
I missed every moment
It's always been you
A perfect chance to tell you the truth
It's always been you
My missing component has always been you
There's no one else there never was
Yeah, it's always been you

You you
You you

I'd cross over oceans so you can see
There's no one else there never was cause
It's always been you
All the time that I waited so stupidly
Cause it's always been, its always been you
I missed every moment
It's always been you
A perfect chance to tell you the truth
It's always been you
My missing component has always been you
There's no one else there never was
Yeah, it's always been you
