Towards Me
03:32
|
|||
|
I am counting down to zero
Holding fast to what has been
Everything that I ever wanted
is out there can’t be seen
I can feel it coming towards me, babe
I can feel it come into my life
I can feel it coming towards me
I can see the difference here to be
There´s a new direction in my life
I have been waiting for summer
All of my life so far
So now that fall is here I´m not yet
ready to go on
I can feel it coming towards me, babe
I can feel it come into my life
I can feel it coming towards me
I can see the difference here to be
There´s a new direction in my life
There´s a new power, a new drive

On the Road Again
03:46
|
|||
|
Come on, the time is right
Let´s get started, I feel all right
I´m ready and on the road again
How I wish I would be there
Anywhere, just out of here
Alone and on the road again
There is a light on the horizon
And I want to be there
So I’m gone
I’m out of here
I´m fading out
I disappear
I’m leaving
I’m on the road again
Met a girl, she made me feel
This might be it, this might be real
For a day and a night-ride home again
A quick goodbye and then I´m gone
Listening to that stupid song
Alone again naturally
There is a light on the horizon
And I need to be there
So I’m gone
I’m out of here
I´m fading out
I disappear
And I am
on the road again
Hey, what’s this?
I’ve been here before
I’m kind of happy
Still it might have been
so different if I had turned another way
I don’t have the time to get old
I’m sure I’ll miss something meaningful
Believe me, there is a promised land for us
There is a light on the horizon
And I know I will be there
So I’m gone
I’m out of here
I´m fading out
I disappear
I’m yearning
to be on the road again
Yes I’m gone
I’m out of here
I´m fading out
I disappear
I’ll be
on the road again
I am fading out
I am gone
I’m out of here
I´m fading out
I disappear
I am
on the road again

The Possibilities
03:03
|
|||
|
A sailor from the golden seas
A mighty knight in rusty arms
A poet on a volcano
A forgotten astronaut
A melancholy king
living in a cartoon world
A shiny feel-good device
A rearranged paradise
A secret password to your heart
A warm hug, a sincere face
A cool and daring late-night look
in a glamor magazine
A strong belief that no one shared
A melody you’ll not forget
And all the possibilities
All those things that’ll never be
And a kaleidoscope of eyes
Oh this kaleidoscope of eyes
|

Cold wind in the summer evening
Waves breaking on the stony shore
This is as far as I can get from me
I sing as loud as I can sing
No one around who hears my tears
This melody is just for me
Where the sky meets the ocean
all my thoughts will soon be free again
Will the sounds be warm and clean?
Or is it just a stupid dream
that I can leave the past behind?
A new world must be out there somewhere
Farther than the blue horizon´s
merciless promise of end
Where the sky meets the ocean
all my thoughts will soon be free
That bird there on that little twig
Is it sad just like me?
Or is it just at home?
That man there on that lonely cliff
weighing possibilities
might soon have to go on to
Where the sky meets the ocean
and all my thoughts will soon be free again

You’re much more beautiful than I am
But I am in Rome
You’re much more intelligent than I am
But I’m in Amsterdam
You’re so much smarter
Work so much harder
But I’m in Uppsala

Halfway Man
02:33
|
|||
|
I’m like a halfway man
Almost do as good as I can
Halfway from everything
Always just in between
It’s only a minute to where I
leave all the despair behind but
something’s taken hold of me
and it will not let me go
I’ll leave this city tonight
I’m sure somewhere else will be all right
A new hope, a new beginning
This time will be so much better
It’s only a minute to where I
leave all the despair behind but
something’s taken hold of me
and it will not let me go
Like the weather that changes daily
There’s always a new chance for me
Dark defender, invisible fiend
One step closer is two steps away
It’s only a minute to where I
leave all the despair behind but
I need one more life
to get everything all right
I’m like a halfway man

Inside/Outside
03:22
|
|||
|
I`m growing faster
than I expected
So suddenly I
find myself excluded
from everything I thought
that I was
Everybody´s out there
I am in
still waiting
for the time you come back and
take me with you
out to
where we belong

I Am the One
02:44
|
|||
|
A thousand words inside my head
Blurry thoughts driving me mad
Lights in the shadow
Cast me on you
Breaking the silence
This is my truth
Things might be different
if I tried another me
Things might be wonderful
Well, let's just see
A chemical reaction
A part of a long history
A thousand possibilities
are only a shadow of what might have been
Things might be different
if I tried another me
I'm trying to fool you
into seeing what I see
A change of direction
A tiny spark of genius
might make things so wonderful
Well, we will see
A chance of a lifetime
A hope that is gone
I might be many
I am the one

Rearranged Paradise
03:01
|
|||
|
I think I lost a dream
long ago
So now I´m free to do
what I want to do
I´m a little smaller now
But that´s OK
As long as you promise
that you will
stay away

Ghost Town
02:14
|
|||
|
The dust in my eyes won’t hurt
It’s better to feel after all
So I keep on searching
This town is a lost belief
A fantasy built on a dream
But I can’t keep on dreaming
A market square full of thoughts
A squeaking door to someone’s heart
And I keep on walking
I keep on walking
I keep on walking
I keep on walking
Where no one will be
The concrete won’t change its grey
The walls will never tell
But I keep on staring
‘Cause
There might be something
There might be anything
There might be nothing
Nothing at all
The dark is my dearest friend
It makes the possible possible
Until morning

This Selfish Mess
06:09
|
|||
|
A story floating down the road
A ghost caught in a constant loop
What is and could have been
That aching feeling of disgust
That rising hope that quickly crushed
This mess that I am in
If I knew just who I am
I might be a better man
So why am I so scared
And all we do to kill the doubt
Screaming out our stupid thoughts
Though nothing here is true
There is only you
There is only me
Isn't that enough
for us to see:
It's all in vain
We worship sense and clarity
Count on what we think will be
Why, who, what and how
When we still were young
We sang a different song
Of trust and of believe
Now nothing here is true
Nothing here is true
Isn’t that enough for us to see?
There is only you
There is only me
Isn’t that enough for us to see?
I am what I used to be
A strange case of forlornness
Only you
Only me
There is only you
There is only me
Isn't that enough for us to see?

Only Somehow
03:19
|
|||
|
A chance that passed so quickly
that nobody even knew
A moment of understanding
that could have been
I once was a kid
But now I’m somewhere in between
The next thing might be better
After all
And somehow I think
That “somehow” will do for me
Everything was beautiful
But nothing was okay
I think I have to try
Once again
The story’s only half-told
But maybe half is still all right
As long as I am here
I’m on my way
And somehow “somehow”
Might be right for me
