The one you need

Would he live
For a moment
Would he be the one you need
If you should fall down on your knees

Would he stay
For a while
Does he show you where to look
Does he teach you how to breath
Would he be the one you need

Does it make
you believe
With every single breath you breath
Does he take away the grief

Does he give
you a reason
Does he cover up your mind
Or does he make you understand
Would he be the one you need

When you talk
You just talk
But I don’t know what you try to say
And you scream
And you bawl
But I don’t know what the hell you mean

When she calls ( listen )

When she calls your name
Lots of joy, little shame
The sweetest face, walking grace
Lifts you up into the dark.

Oh you want to know
How to get lost in this moment
To get you right to the bone

Oh you want to know
If you can stay there forever
If you could come as a friend

When she calls their name
One by one they’re all the same
And when you’re on you aim it well and say
I guess it’s time to show just who I am
I guess it’s time to know just why I’m here

Ready when you are ( listen )

Breath until the morning comes
Breath until you are
Breath until it’s time to go
You know it’s never gonna last

For I’ll be ready when you are

It’ll never take you back where you belong
And it ain’t gonna be for free
It won’t stop ‘til you lose your skin
Until you want to be

For I’ll be ready when you are
Turn all the joy into laughter
And all the love in joy
I’ll be ready when you are
I’ll be ready when you’ve made it
I’ll be ready when you squeeze your head in mine
I’ll be ready when you dance along the edge. So tell me

Roll me over

You’re sweet
So sweet but incomplete
Your tired
So tired but you don’t sleep
‘cause you don’t understand the way it is
This way I fear tomorrow, you’ll be nowhere at all

You’re sweet
So sweet but indiscreet
Your love
Pulled me in too deep
‘Cause you don’t understand the way it is
This way I fear tomorrow, you’ll be nowhere at all

And you roll me over
‘cause we know this love is done

You’re sad,
So sad but you don’t weep
Blind faith,
is traded in for hate
‘cause you don’t understand the way it is
This way I fear tomorrow, you’ll be nowhere at all

Since you've been gone

I turn it on
And listen to the voice
Well she’s been out there for a while
And she’s been trying to get in
I couldn’t hear what she just said
Makes me wonder, makes me mad
Again

You know I fell
In love to be with her
It’s getting late now
She’s almost done
And when the lightning strikes gain
I’ll be a shade of who I am
Again

Owoho... Ride on
Since you’ve been gone.....

I’ll stand up straight
And move ahead
No I won’t break..
I won’t go mad
And when the lightning strikes again
I’ll be a shade of who I am
Again

Owoho... Ride on
Since you’ve been gone.....

When you walk away

Something’s changing over here
Colors fading
And so are we
The air is damp of sweat and tears

The smell is sour and uncontrolled
Many lies are yet untold
Many fights, not one to win

When you walk away just close the door

Do you remember what it’s like
Would you fake it, getting closer
Will I ever understand

You can’t touch me anymore
You can’t make it go on -you win now
I’m so tired of this song

When you walk away just close the door

Where you there on that crazy winters night?
Where you there when I told you it felt right?

When you walk away...

Don't let me go ( listen )

Will you understand?
The fruit, the lurking hand.
Will you hold your breath again?
Not this time, not this way.

Will you draw the line
Hoping you’ll be fine
That you will find your own way out
Not this time, not this way.

When there’s no devotion,
When there’s no emotion
Don’t let me go

Will you even try?
To reveal the lurking lie?
Will you close your eyes once more?
Not this time, not this way.

When there’s no devotion
When there’s no emotion
When the sun comes crashing down
And when silence haunts our minds
Will I be the first to burn?

Noone but you

Press your lips against the window
Say goodnight I know you want to go
Put your head on the pillow
Wish you’d sleep all night until the sunlight wakes you up

There ain’t no one but you

I’ll put my hands on the steering wheel
And drive all night long until I reach the shore
Promise me you’ll be there
Promise me you’ll dance with me all day long

There ain’t no one but you

You’ve set the score
There’s nothing left to say, no more
...................
I’ve been a clown for too long
I’ve been a mad man on the run
I’ve been a fool for too long

There ain’t no one but you

Every night you pray ( listen )

Every night you pray

He left your broken back
He left your ageing face
Left without a heart
Nothing there but emtpy space
Still you hold on to the man
That haunts yur dreams at night
And everyday you tell yourself it’s love

O you shouldn’t go back there
O ‘cause you’re the only one who’ll pay
O you shouldn’t go back there
And every night you pray to the Lord

He grew on you like before
A parasite nothing more
You’d kill him if you could
But let him take you as you think he should
And every night you pray,
Oh Lord, please take him down

Fall down

You’ll hit the ground
And I fear the sound
You don’t look scared at all
I know you never would

You just fall down

Some say you’re lost
And I think you know now
That noone will come
No one can hear you anymore

You just fall down

Tonight I saw you wavering for a while
Anxious eyes were looking for a place to hide
A way to stop your raging mind from tumbling
Put your arms around my neck
Let it rest untill it’s over
Lay your tired body down for a while
