She`ll be gone soon
you can have me for yourself
She`ll be gone soon
you can have me for yourself

But do give just give me today
or you will just scare me away

What we built is bigger
than the sum of two
What we built is bigger
than the sum of two

But somewhere I lost count of my own
and somehow I must find it alone

24 and blooming like the fields of May
25 and yearning for a ticket out

Dreams burn but in ashes are gold
Dreams burn but in ashes are gold

So we meet again
after several years
several years of separation
moving on
moving around

Did we spend this time chasing the other`s tail?
Singing
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you

Winter and spring
Summer and fall
You`re the wind surfer crossing the ocean and the boat behind
Skiffle and rag, shuffle and waltz
You`re the up tip toe ballerina in the chorus line:
Singing
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you

River and sea, picking up salt
Through the air there`s a fluffly cloud falling down as rain
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you - oohooh
I could never belong to you -ooh ooh
I could never belong to you -ooh ooh

The beauty memories of all the places
Of all the places
We`ve captured with our camera
We`ve seen the pyramids
We`ve seen the Louvre
We`ve seen the Orion upside down
Total eclipses and moonlight shadows
We`ve seen dolphins jumping waves
we`ve ski`ed the mountains and we swam in the rivers
and let the sunlight dry our skins

but freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
freedom is the mastery of the known
freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
no view is wider than the eye

show a view to someone who chose to live his whole life in cave
he`ll raise his arms to protect his eyes from learning
and the blindness to which he belongs
this time it`s me, it`s me
cascades of chances I`ll just let them be
the unfamiliar is right below our eyes
don`t look for what we know
the unfamiliar is right below our eyes

but freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
freedom is the mastery of the known
freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
no view is wider than the eye

Crossroads and given the option
To pass and look back at goals I`ve missed
Rainbows or burning bridges
If you squint a little more it looks the same

But o~~~~~~~~~~~~h
There`s a little bit of me inside you
Gathering what you`ve lost
But o~~~~~~~~~~~~h
There`s a little bit of you in everyone
Can never keep a secret

Problem; lines on your face
You smooth them out so no one can tell
put a straight back upon a stage
could [dance dance] hide the tremor in your hand

But o~~~~~~~~~~~~h
There`s a little bit of me inside you
Gathering what you`ve lost
But o~~~~~~~~~~~~h
There`s a little bit of you in everyone

And I`m watching you now
I see you building the castle with one hand
while tearing down another with the other

And I`m watching you now
I see you building the castle with one hand
while tearing down another with the other

And I`m watching you now
I see you building the castle with one hand
while tearing down another with the other

Hey baby Mrs Cold
Acting so tough
Didn't know you had it
in you to be hurt at all
You waited too long
You should've hook me
Before I put my raincoat on
OK I get it
OK can I see
You were fronting because
You knew you'd find yourself
vulnerable around me
OK I get it
OK I see
You feel vulnerable around me

Hey baby
What's going on
You lost control and you
lost your tongue
You lost me
Deaf in my ear
Nothing you can say
is gonna change the way I feel
OK I get it
OK I see
You were fronting because
You knew you find yourself
vulnerable around me
OK I get it
OK I see
I step too close to your boundaries
You wanted nobody around to see
You feel vulnerable around me

Hey baby
What is love
It was just a game
We're both playing
and we can't get enough of
We're both playing
and we can't get enough of
We're both playing
and we can't get enough of

The telegraph gave us hope
Before was the silence and the panic it brought
The sky was the blankest sheet
We drew lines upon it
so our thoughts could meet
through cables black and cold
we carry our intentions to bridge
and bring home
would it all be so clear
if the lines were erased
and the silence restored?

Boys of today write lines on walls
in the streets at night
in suburbans of cities with no name
is this destruction or just quiet protest
against loneliness

the car go lights in our lamps
they`re weight is so heavy
and this is all we know
our message will need a ship
to travel across oceans
that can`t otherwise be crossed

it underplate on the waves
and cautions the water so we can be safe
it underplate on the waves
then cautions the water so we can be safe

Feeling the comfort of eyes is your sole intention. We all want to be understood unconditionally. But you have to realize that a viewer needs distance.
And the moment your wall melts down-the inside is outside. Maybe way back in the past when people different, shortening bonds made them last.
Now we emphasize our difference. We have been enrolled one by one for the Peacetime Resistance. and we're fighting our battles alone. We've got four eyes-so why yearn for one perspective? We've got colours with shades erased when blended We've got four eyes so why yearn for one perspective? We've got colours, but they disappear when blended.

I see you changing girl
From Day to Day
Impressed by and trying to imitate
Those who are older
Those who are colder
Suddenly embarrassed by your age

Our bigger blessing, girl
Is being young
The power of not knowing
Where you belong

I try so hard to keep it
Not to lose that secret
Waiting for someone like you
to come along

Maybe it was me
that made you old
stole whatever it was that
made you glow
a little touch of something
a lot of work for nothing
and now our heart, once open,
will be closed

I`m letting go
To see if you`ll hold on to me
I`m in doubt
Of what is thought and what is real

In our room
Between the shapes I thought I knew
A guillotine
A pillow with feathers like snow

I`ve come
To a listening post beyond your lines
I`m all ears
To gather clues and look for signs

But I can`t hear
The song you sing while you try to soothe
Why are you whispering
While the bombs are falling?

Go easy on me
I can`t help what I`m doing
Go easy on me
Oh, I can`t help what I`m doing

Hello again
I buried you, where have you been?
My renegade
You came back from the labyrinth

Unlike me
You`ve looked for things that could be found
And the thread
That guides through black times

Go easy on me
I can`t help what I`m doing
Go easy on me
Oh, I can`t help what I`m doing

When thoughts
Had outnumbered spoken words
In the early hours
We failed to establish
Who was hurt
Most

Why, why so quiet?
Oh my, mysterious country singer? she asked.

My life, it`s a riot
I`m climbing barricades
in empty streets at night.

When I`m down
fighting shadows.
Twenty-five postcards
in a box in my room.

Telephone conversations,
gas slowly leaking out
of a heart-shaped balloon.

It`s a dangerous game
that I`m not sure
if I could keep playing for long.

It`s a dangerous game,
it`s a very fine line
and if one step is wrong...

I have no cards to play
and that`s why

I`ve got nothing to say,
tonight.

I`ve got nothing to say,
tonight.

You set yourself above that all forgiving
God you caim that you believe in.
Your kind is gonna fall, your ship is shinking
fast and all your able men are leaving.
Only someone who's morally superior can
possibly and honestly deserve to rule my
world I talk befoore I think. you shoot
before you know who's in your line of fire.
So somehow we're the same, we're causing people pain.
But I stand and take the blame. you scramble to deny it.
Only someone who's morally superior can
possibly and honestly deserve to rule my
world.
Explain me one more time, when they kill it's a crime,
when you kill It is justice.

We take what`s dead
And breathe life in
And move like knives
Through scars on land

Still untouched
No stain of hands
Caramelized
In a tilted light

No chain stays unbroken
All aims get forgotten

The weight of lead
On floors of sand
The idea reduced again
To outcome

No chain stays unbroken
All aims get forgotten

He won�t touch you anymore,
Staying inside.
Half indifferent, half afraid,
It will only make you cry.

What is given can�t be returned.
The cards are in our hands.
All that is living can be hurt,
And that�s the end of innocence.

Second round found you beating death,
The miracle of life.
Once each of you caught your breath,
A question simmers inside.

How far away from being in
Can there be stated of love?
How to put it is you�re bound within.
What matter is it made of?

What will we become?
What will we become?
What will we become?
Second to numb.

Mrs Cold

hey baby, Mrs. Cold
acting so tough,
didn't know you had it in you so be hurt at all
you waited too long
you should've hook me,
before I put my raincoat on

oh can I get it
oh can I see
you were fronting because
you knew you'd find yourslf vulnerable around me

oh can I get it
oh can I see
you feel vulnerable around me

hey, baby
what's going on?
you lost control and you lost your tongue
you lost me
deaf in my ear
nothing you can say is gonna change the way I feel

oh can I get it
oh can I see
you were fronting because
you knew you'd find yourslf vulnerable around me

oh can I get it
oh can I see
I step too close to your boundaries

you wanted nobody around to see
you feel vulnerable around me

hey baby
what is love?
it was just a game
we're both playing and we can't get enough of
we're both playing and we can't get enough of
we're both playing and we can't get enough of

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

I need it every day
I blame it on you
You always have control
Now I don`t

I need it every day
I blame it on you
You always have control
Now I don`t

I need it every day
I blame it on you
You always have control
Now I don`t

I need it every day
I blame it on you
You always have control
Now I don`t

So many people telling me one way
So many people telling me to stay
Never had time to have my mind made up
Caught in a motion that I don`t wanna stop

So many people telling me one way
So many people telling me to stay
Never had time to have my mind made up
Caught in a motion that I don`t wanna stop

So many people telling me one way
So many people telling me to stay
Never had time to have my mind made up
Caught in a motion that I don`t wanna stop

So many people telling me one way
So many people telling me to stay
Never had time to have my mind made up
Caught in a motion that I don`t wanna stop
That I don`t wanna stop
That I don`t wanna stop

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

I am done with you
i`m sailing my own
my own sweet way
around the world

I am done with you
i`m sailing my own

I am done with you
i`m sailing my own
my own sweet way
around the world

I am done with you
i`m sailing my own
my own sweet way

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

Painless
So easy
You come fast
And leave me

Half a life
For one kiss
Inflation
And now this

The player game
Innocently
Was always there
But used to be

Only one way
To feel love
But now it is
The only one

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.

Your eyes are cold
I know you'll tell me all

Not to fall
I lean against the wall

I'm on the floor
Not listening anymore

I should have known
The things to which you're prone
(You cross your arms
And tell no lies
A thousand thoughts run
Through my mind
A thousand words that I don't need
I never thought you could do this)

I should have known
The things to which you're prone
(You cross your arms
And tell no lies
A thousand thoughts run
Through my mind
A thousand words that I don't need
I never thought you could do this)

Your eyes are cold
I know you'll tell me all
Not to fall
I lean against the wall

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...

From my seat I see the fields move by
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 I'll never need her
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

Riding on this know-how
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

Through the alleyways to cool off in the shadows
Then into the street following the water
There's a bearded man paddling in his canoe
Looks as if he has come all the way from the Cayman Islands

These canals, it seems, they all go in circles
Places look the same, and we're the only difference
The wind is in your hair, it's covering my view
I'm holding on to you, on a bike we've hired until tomorrow

If only they could see, if only they had been here
They would understand, how someone could have chosen
To go the length I've gone, to spend just one day riding
Holding on to you, I never thought it would be this clear

Without giving anything away
I can say it's by the sea
It's a house that used to be
The home of a friend of mine

Without giving anything away
We find ships inside of bottles
When the garden's overgrown
The house is white, but the paint is coming off

I didn't know if you wanted to
But I came to pick you up
You didn't even hesitate
And now you and me are on our way
I think I've bought everything we need
Don't look back, don't think of the
Other places you should've been
It's a good thing that you came along with me

Gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer

Without giving anything away
I can say it's by the sea

You'll shine like gold in the air of summer

I lose some sales and my boss won't be happy
But I can't stop listening to the sound
Of two soft voices rendered in perfection
From the reels of this record that I found
Every day there's a boy in the mirror
Asking me what are you doing here
Finding all my previous motives
Growing increasingly unclear

I've travelled far and I've burned all the bridges
I believed as soon as I hit land
All the other options held before me
Will wither in the light of my plan
So I lose some sales and my boss won't be happy
But there's only one thing on my mind
Searching boxes underneath the counter
On a chance that on a tape I'd find
A song for
Someone who needs somewhere
To long for

Homesick
Cause I no longer know
Where home is

I lose some sales and my boss won't be happy

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don't we just move into the other room
There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune

Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...

(Getting into the swing...)
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...

(Getting into the swing...)
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you

Riding on this know-how
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

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

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?

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

(One, two...One, two...)

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
