In the battle for belonging
Every doorbell has its code With a stare it can be opened Now you have it now you don`t There are buildings there are people Walk around and look up to Every swallow has its season Every gallow has its noon By the rythm of your language By the sparkle in your stride Talk in riddles or be candid With a shield or open wide The lesson you must learn No one could ever teach Open up and reach for the stars Above you Above you If you have a way of knowing Every river can be crossed Lose the sparrow that had landed For the one that never was There`s a song for every dreamer As they climb over this fence Trading roses for the real world As the second week commences Where no one has control Where the young clipse the old Predjudice and wisdom All the same I want you I want you |

Give me a reason to stay constantly ignored
Give me an angle that I haven`t tried before A guarantee for being honestly compaired You want to live when life is achingly unfair Don`t make a move you`ll look ridiculous again You share no interest but it`s easy to pretend Don`t start the action it will turn against you soon No one is going to follow and you`ll stand there like a fool You left the people when the people left you out Back in the suburbs you`re craving for the crowd Only minded now with defeats of yesterday The mantra spinning in your head will keep it raised Give me a reason to stay constantly ignored I don`t think I can Give me an angle that I haven`t tried before Not from where I stand A guarantee for being honestly compaired Could not be found You want to live when life is sakenly unfair Stick around |

There comes a time
For everyone To sit down and assess what`s there and what is not there Eternally up in the air And it seems that time has come for you And it figues now I was only the one who needed to appear and cause a turn of events To force a turn of events It`s also fitting somehow That I should be the last to know And I`m blown away When my friend tells me that it`s so What did I give you That`s harder to answer than what did I take What did I mean to you? |

You keep your cards so close to your chest
You're making me confused It's hidden deep what you need to address If you want it to resume Aching and longing never ending fireworks Let it be, let it be, let it be oh baby let it hurt The heat is on for the action to speed up and tension to ease We could keep talking but only be certain through physical means Patience is just another word for getting old Resolution just as impossible as letting go Is there a hint of a vulnerable you there a drift in your eyes Could it be that the sharp and the blunt side have shifted this time I wanted you, you wanted me but he was there Now let it be, let it be, let it be oh baby let it bare |

So you no longer care if there`s another day
I guess I have been there, I guess I am there now You knew what you wanted and you fought so hard Just to find yourself sitting in a golden cage In a golden cage So of course I miss you and miss you bad But I also felt this way when I was still with you Yes of course I miss you and miss you bad But I also felt this way when I was still with you This city`s no longer mine There`s sadness written on every corner Each lover was made to sign Now I hear them calling me over and over |

Hey, you, we just got started,
You can't end this now. Hey, you, we just got started, You can't end this now. You've payed your dues, you're free, Of what are you afraid? You've payed your dues, you're free, Of what are you afraid? Taking on responsibility knowing it will weigh you down... Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no. People in northern Europe since medieval times, We find it hard to deal with when our dreams come true. As if happiness exists in the world at a fixed amount, And if you feel up, somebody somewhere else feels down. Taking on responsibility knowing it will weigh you down... Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no. Taking on responsibility knowing it will weigh you down... Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no. |

Using the Guardian as a shield
To cover my thighs against the rain I do not mind about my hair Your jacket may be waterproof But I know the moment you get home You're gonna get your trousers changed Failure is always the best way to learn Retracing your steps until you know Have no fear your wounds will heal I wish I could travel overground To where all you hear is water sounds Lush as the wind upon a tree I wish I could travel overground To where all you hear is water sounds To capture and keep inside of me Failure is always the best way to learn Retracing your steps until you know Have no fear your wounds will heal Failure is always the best way to learn Retracing your steps until you know Have no fear your wounds will heal |

You called me after midnight,
must have been three years since we last spoke. I slowly tried to bring back, the image of your face from the memories so old. I tried so hard to follow, but didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong, said I don't know what I can save you from. I asked you to come over, and within half an hour, you were at my door. I had never really known you, but I realized that the one you were before, had changed into somebody for whom I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on. Still I don't know what I can save you from. |

Little kids playing in the park downtown
Someone's dad is watching From the side of the ground I'm following my shadow so I cross the street Car passing stereo I like the beat Open up the door Turning on the fan Dropping down the keys that I held in my hand And then start waiting for her steps To be heard in the staircase Enter the room and let down her bag Asking me all kinds of trivial questions Pretending an everyday life we don't have Pretending an everyday life we don't have Pretending an everyday life we don't have Little kids playing in the park downtown Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down Little kids playing in the park downtown Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down And rises over, Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow Hours later I will follow Wake up to a life that's hollow without love Without love... Without love... |

Things seem so much better when
They're not part of your close surroundings Like words in a letter sent Amplified by the distance Possibilities and sweeter dreams Sights and sounds calling form far away Calling from far away I didn't know you then, now did I girl? I couldn't hear you singing softly to me I didn't know you then, now did I girl? I didn't see the brave girl so near me I didn't know you then, now did I girl? I couldn't hear you sing softly to me I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing I wanted a story that couldn't be told Only the fishing part of fishing I didn't know you then, now did I girl? I couldn't hear you singing softly to me I didn't know you then, now did I girl? I didn't see the brave girl so near me I didn't know you then, now did I girl? I couldn't hear you sing softly to me And now I find It was you all the time. I'm in love again- It's too late now... |

Coulours strong - it's been a long, long time It's the first time I see summer on the Westhill I lean back and let my eyes just go Floating now where they want to float They seem to take to the horizon Now I know there is a world beyond The small place I was coming from I feel at home here in the middle of nowhere I will never know the names Of these places that I travel through to reach the coastline I've been told I will be there in time Please oceancloud Let there be no storm on the crossing below Please oceancloud Let there be no storm on the crossing below Please oceancloud Let there be no storm on the crossing below Please oceancloud Let there be no storm on the crossing below |

I didn't know you were there
until you said "hello." You had been watching me for I don't know how long. I hit my head against the lamp, as by surprise I stood up. "Don't be afraid," you said, "it's only me- The door wasn't locked." The voice I'd heard in the hall was hard to recognise. But now we know he's onboard, wearing our disguise. If only you and I could trust each other through this, then together we could work out who the enemy is. |

In the sky the birds are pulling rain
In your life the curse has got a name Makes you lie awake all through the night That's why. She's intoxicated by herself Everyday she's seen with someone else And every night she kisses someone new Never you. You're waiting in the shadows for a chance 'Cause you believe at heart that if you can Show to her what love is all about She'll change. She'll talk to you with no one else around But only if you're able to entertain her The moment conversation stops she's gone Again. she's gone You believe at heart that if you can She'll change At heart that if you can But~ The moment conversation stops she's gone Again. |

Even though she's only giving me pain I'll be on my knees to feed her Spend a day to make her smile again Even though I'll never need her Even though she's only giving me pain As the world is soft around her Leaving me with nothing to disdain Even though I'm not her minder Even though she doesn't want me around I am on my feet to find her To make sure that she is safe and sound Even though I'm not her minder Even though she doesn't want me around I am on my feet to find her To make sure that she is safe from harm The sun sets on the war The day breaks and everything is new The sun sets on the war The day breaks and everything is new Everything is new Everything is new Everything is new The sun sets on the war The day breaks and everything is new |

Never been here before Peculiarly entrusted Possibly that's all Is history recorded? Does someone have a tape? Surely, I'm no pioneer Constellations stay the same Just a little bit of danger When intriguingly Our little secret Trusts that you trust me 'Cause no one will ever know That this was happening So tell me why you listen When nobody's talking What is there to know? All this is what it is You and me alone Sheer simplicity What is there to know? All this is what it is You and me alone Sheer simplicity What is there to know? All this is what it is You and me alone Sheer simplicity |

Summerchild that sits by the water
Weaving sunlight threads in his hands The golden river that day a shelter A stream where he could make pebbles dance You looked around you, nobody had taken Any notice of what you saw Against the evening sky a formation A million black birds looking like one Live long Save ten years to remember Live long Hold it in front of your eyes once more Live long Save ten years to remember Live long Hold it in front of your eyes |

All I do is sleep all day, and think of you
A memory of the cushion life I'm clinging to The image of a mutual one, our haven The sombre chords of our song, the fading Love is no big truth Driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings A symphony that's you Joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping Passion and its brother hate, they come and go Could easily be made to stay for longer though Many people play this game so willingly Do I have to be like them, or be lonely? Love is no big truth Driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings A symphony that's you Joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping I'll never need it again, not again, not again... |

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along Please do not expect me to Wrap it up and keep it there The observation I am doing could Easily be understood As cynical demeanour But one of us misread... And what do you know It happened again A friend is not a means You utilize to get somewhere Somehow I didn't notice friendship is an end What do you know It happened again How come no-one told me All throughout history The loneliest people Were the ones who always spoke the truth The ones who made a difference By withstanding the indifference I guess it's up to me now Should I take that risk or just smile? What do you know It happened again What do you know |

Five weeks in a prison, I made no friends
There's more time to be done, but I've got a week to spend I didn't pay much attention first time around But now you're hard not to notice, right here in my town Where the stage of my old life meets the cast of the new Tonights actors: Me and You Each day is taking us closer While drawing the curtains to close This far, or further, I need to know Your increasingly long embraces Are they saying sorry or please? I don't know what's happening, help me Through the streets, on the corners, there's a scent in the air I ask you out and I lead you, I know my way around here There's a bench I remember, and on the way there I find That the movements you're making, are mirrored in mine And your hand is held open, intentionally Or just what I want to see? Your increasingly long embraces Are they saying sorry or please? I don't know what's happening, help me I don't normally beg for assistance I rely on my own eyes to see But right now they make no sense to me Right now you make no sense to me |

(One, two...One, two...)
I walked around for hours, two ten pence pieces in my hand I was alone and freezing, still trying hard to understand you I left the others knowing, I had to work this by myself But now the feeling's growing, I would be better off with their help So baby, what we've got Has lately not been enough Not been enough I wish I had your scarf still, that once embraced and kept me warm I wish you could be with me, in these last days when I am still hopelessly poor Stay out of trouble Stay in touch Try not to think about me too much Stay out of trouble Stay in touch Try not to think about me too much |

When past sometimes takes you with soft hands
Forceless it pulls you to your chair Hides you away from these half days Sunless, at the end of the year The air is like a knife cutting through you A room in the house is always warm Stretched down on the bathroom floor thinking Of fair days your future may hold Love comes like surprise ice on the water Love comes like surprise ice at dawn Love comes at dawn Deprived all the light of colours The world ends at your window tree Darkness creates these illusions That pale days can teach you to see Rain falls but no life is given Weeks pass, no progress is made Past sometimes takes you with soft hands And all that surrounds you will fade |

The build-up lasted for days
Lasted for weeks Lasted too long Our hero withdrew When there was two He could not choose one So there was none Worn into the vaguely announced Worn into the vaguely announced The spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley Fading, oh so quiet, but constant 'til it passed Over the ridge into the distances, written on your ticket To remind you where to stop And when to get off The spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley Fading, oh so quiet, but constant 'til it passed Over the ridge into the distances, written on your ticket To remind you where to stop And when to get off The spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley Fading, oh so quiet, but constant 'til it passed Over the ridge into the distances, written on your ticket To remind you where to stop And when to get off When to get off When to get off When to get off |

Using the Guardian as a shield
To cover my thighs against the rain I do not mind about my hair Your jacket may be waterproof But I know the moment you get home You're gonna get your trousers changed Failure is always the best way to learn Retracing your steps until you know Have no fear your wounds will heal I wish I could travel overground To where all you hear is water sounds Lush as the wind upon a tree I wish I could travel overground To where all you hear is water sounds To capture and keep inside of me Failure is always the best way to learn Retracing your steps until you know Have no fear your wounds will heal Failure is always the best way to learn Retracing your steps until you know Have no fear your wounds will heal |
