Sheila Nicholls
Sheila Elizabeth Nicholls (born 9 February 1970 in Colchester, Essex) is a British singer-songwriter, now residing in Highland Park, Los Angeles, California.
Early years
While growing up, Nicholls attended Felsted School. She first found fame for performing cartwheels while streaking at an England vs. Australia cricket match at Lord's in May 1989, in which she joined fellow school players Derek Pringle and John Stephenson on the field of play; this footage was later included in the video Streaker, narrated by George Best.
Nicholls travelled to the United States later in 1989 and began performing with her band, Sheila Nicholls and the Splendid Frock, in New York City in the mid-1990s.
Critical acclaim
Nicholls then moved to Los Angeles where she recorded a solo album, the critically acclaimed Brief Strop, and started her own label, Essex Girl Records.
Shortly thereafter, Nicholls signed a deal with Hollywood Records, which began distributing Brief Strop. The song "Fallen for You," from the album, became a hit on college radio stations and found its way onto the best-selling soundtrack for the movie High Fidelity. She toured extensively with the album, including several gigs alongside k.d. lang.

Won't Get Lost In You
by: Sheila NichollsI won't get lost in you however my will wants me to
And I will feel you more if I walk now and close this door
But that is not to say, that it will end that way
Although I know it's out of my hands
Forever reasoning mind, knows it will never find
A way to foretell how the pennies land, how the pennies land
So I'll attempt to entertain the idea we're just not the same
I'm pushing hard against this door your breeze keeps whispering to explore
There is no logic here, I'm lost in every tear
And swirl with every wave that's breaking
The knots that reason weaves, unravel when your sleeves
Are holding warm and soft around me around me
Just memories now
Its not as if I can't remove you from my brain
It's gonna be a surgical procedure but I, I can do it I can do it again, and again, and again
But I won't get lost in you however my will wants me to
And I will feel you more if I walk now and close this door
But I won't get lost in you
