Whenever I walk that way, through the hay Whenever I pass that old worn bench, I feel the wrench All over again, drawn back to when I still held on to what was wrong Whenever I feel the urge to turn, this desperate earn I have to tell myself to dwell And breathe until it’s gone And breathe until it’s gone Sing that song with me, all along with me That same old song again Let’s not fall back there, just a call-back, dear Let the scar heal up, my friend And let it end Whenever I walk that way, to the bay Whenever I am about to reach that lonely beach I suddenly stop, feel my heart drop Keep wondering when dawn will come Whenever those countless images blow a kiss I have to close my eyes and those Emotions will go numb Emotions will go numb Sing that song with me, all along with me That same old song again Let’s not fall back there, there’s a crack, take care! Don’t recall how we began But how we end We hear the lure, we cannot cure Try to resist, but it persists And always will And to endure we will for sure Have to remind that we were blind Just seeked the thrill Of the kill Sing that song with me, all along with me That same old song again Let’s not fall back there, just a call-back, dear Let the scar heal up, my friend And let it end Sing that song with me, all along with me That same old song again Let’s not fall back there, there’s a crack, take care! Don’t recall how we began But how we end

A Little Bit 02:53
I can hear it in your voice over the phone that things don't go just like you want them to And somehow I'm the one to blame, reasons unknown, in spite of doing all tat I can do And again I have to ask myself how we always end upt this point where I'd like to pack and go By now I feel it is not fair it's always me who's backing of for a decision I made way ago And I feel your pain And I know it's true But it doesn't help It's always me moving, but never you Come on, come on Give a little bit Come a little, a little bit towards me Come on, come on Give a little bit Move a little, a little bit towards me I can see it in your eyes the way you frown at me that I jave hust offended you But you will never say a word, just stare me down, while I'm still try'n to figure out what you'd expect me to do Come on, come on Give a little bit Come a little, a little bit towards me Come on, come on Give a little bit Move a little, a little bit towards me And I feel your pain And I know it's true But it doesn't help It's always me moving, but never you Come on, come on Give a little bit Come a little, a little bit towards me Come on, come on Give a little bit Move a little, a little bit towards me Well, I guess this is agame I cannot win, so I should either play along or quit As every new round shifts us towards the end within as what we had was never meant to fit

Don't Listen 04:37
They say be careful what you wish for Because some of these things might actually come true But what sense would there be in wishing If wishes turn into ghosts haunting you? They say be careful who you fall for As you never really know someone But how is it supposed to work out If you hesitate until the love is gone? It’s better safe than sorry, but Live each day as if it were your last Learn from yesterday, but Do not live in the past Hey there, little girl don’t listen Let no one tell you that you should’ve known I’ve made all the mistakes, I’ve fallen, I’ve risen You too, will learn it on your own They say believe them, they’ve been through this And just are here to help you understand But if you’re not allowed to fall down How will you learn to stand up again? It’s better safe than sorry, but Live each day as if it were your last Learn from yesterday, but Do not live in the past Hey there, little girl don’t listen Let no one tell you that you should’ve known I’ve made all the mistakes, I’ve fallen, I’ve risen You too, will learn it on your own Hey there, little girl don’t listen Let no one tell you that you should’ve known I’ve made all the mistakes, I’ve fallen, I’ve risen You too, will learn it on your own

After all painful, disdainful, indispensable things, I'm try'n to sneak a peek at my innermost force. I'm longing for distance, distraction and Norge. When I attain to that country, oh, so far away, I'm thrilled by the ocean, a sight to behold, It's autumn and windy but not a bit cold. Love, my dear, is it all Love? My dear, is it all Love? My dear, is it all Love? My dear, is it all... Right now we're talking 'bout everything that comes into our minds. 'bout kings and 'bout freedom, and hypocrisy, 'bout ams and 'bout happiness and honesty. Now that we're talking I can fell your voice entrancin' me. I admit that I'm pleased by your advertency, Why aren't we talking 'bout you and 'bout me? Love, my dear, is it all Love? My dear, is it all Love? My dear, is it all Love? My dear, ...

On the Rails 04:37
I stay awake all dark of night, waiting for the world to show a spark of light, savin' all the power I got with me, hope you’re waitin’ for what I brought for thee. One moment out of the line of rails: smell the tang of last eve’s wine and ale. A cold city, everyone’s asleep. Just wanna get where it’s warm and sweet. I’m on the rails, on the rails, I’m on the rails, to you. I’m on the rails, on the rails, I’m on the rails, to you. My lone home is what I flee tonight: Just a bunch of work, plenty to fight. Trav’lin’ to take potluck, watch the sea. ‘s this train heading t’wards a switch maybe? At least it’s on the rails, on the rails, I’m on the rails, to you. My life ‘s on the rails, on the rails, I’m on the rails, to you. The Baltic’s shore where it’s cold and peaty, this is where we are to supposed to meet. Tons of water from the sky above, hang up our clothes to drip-dry from the mud. That’s the time I love the rain, on the rails, love the rain, ‘cause of you. Just love the rain, on the rails, love the rain, ‘cause of you. Hope you love the liquid sunshine, too, I just love it because of you, ‘cause for this moment it is part of you, from my point of view. Don’t you see what my heart is feelin’, don’t you see that it is freaking out? Only due to your simple presence. ‘cause that’s what it it it is all about! ‘cause that’s what it it it is all about! I love the rain, on your ponytail, feel my heart beat, at the very top of the scale. I love the rain, on your nose, feel my heart beat, nobody knows. I love the rain, on your ponytail, feel my heart beat

Morning Sun 03:25
I wanna feel you in the morning sun I wanna watch you breathe, wait till you wake up, Just enjoy and not think about what we’ve done I wanna lie here and be close to you, cause it is fun I wanna feel your kiss I don’t wanna run I wanna fail, so completely fail in behaving rationally I wanna be here, not anywhere else, not away, though I’d have to be I wanna fail, so completely fail in behaving rationally I wanna be here, not anywhere else, not away, though I’d have to be I wanna feel you in the morning sun I wanna be amazed, wanna drown in you, Just enjoy and not think about what’s to come I wanna lie here and be close to you, cause it is fun So I’m not gonna run I wanna fail, so completely fail in behaving rationally I wanna be here, not anywhere else, not away, though I’d have to be I wanna fail, so completely fail in behaving rationally I wanna be here, not anywhere else, not away, though I’d have to be So I’m not gonna run

Foggy air, the rays of light shine against a cloudy wall Again the time of year has come and brought the world to fall Late hour and it starts to rain, the sun’s already set A chilling flair of loneliness is darkness’ silent threat But colors on wet streets Let me know that there is us An unexpected piece of beauty For a moment brakes the dusk Even though the vivid lights are scattered by the spray A mirror on the tar collects them, helping break the grey. And as complementaries fuse, I find my mind go roam The streets seem endless, foggy figures guide my way back home But colors on wet streets Show simple things bear art As red and green from traffic lights Set everything apart But colors on wet streets Let me know that there is us An unexpected piece of beauty For a moment brakes the dusk But colors on wet streets Show simple things bear art As red and green from traffic lights Set everything apart But colors on wet streets Let me know that there is us An unexpected piece of beauty For a moment brakes the dusk

Wash It out 04:24
The first weak rays of daylight breaking through a foggy dawn. The dull roar of the surf in the night, Swallows all other sounds. The sand below your feet feels clear and moist and soft and soar. The footprints that you left here will soon enough be gone. And the tide is high, mirroring the sky. And as time passes by you note your eyes went dry. And you wait and you wait and you wait ... For the water to come and wash it out. When will the water come and wash it out? The wind has blown for you don't know how long. You've noticed it just yet. It's cold but doesn't feel too wrong. Like the water it will carry on. The light starts touching what's behind. You're tempted but don't turn. The sky turns bright but won't clear your mind. It's been dark too long. And the tide is high, mirroring the sky. And you hear a sigh. Cannot stop wondering why. And you wait and you wait and you wait ... For the water to come and wash it out. When will the water come and wash it out? The last weak rays of daylight cast shadows were you've been. And while the dusk invites the night there're no footprints to be seen.
