LYRICS
TO THE ONES I LOVE
(WIRÉN)
My little heart, I see you´re crying
and I know what makes you so sad
The fear I feel, burns my trying
everytime I loose my head
But what would I be without you
Without hearing your song
I, how I wish I could sing the way you can
I, I should have seen all the colours of your rainbow
An angels cry, burns my trying
and put a scar into my heart
A zip of wine, to shut my demons
I try to rise, but I fall apart
But who would I be….
I, how I wish I could sing the way you can
I, maybe thought that my way was the only way
I, I should have seen all the colours of your rainbow
I, how I wish I could sing the way you can
There´s a bright part in all the this
My father said: there´s learning from everything
Well I learned something
I, how I wish I could sing the way you can…
But Im still breathing, Falcon street is bringing peace
The sea is heaving, and waves are showing life at ease
THE MESS I MAKE
(Svahn)
If I should say anything
anything today
It would be that you are everything
everything I say
One perfect note that hits every single string
In this perfect storm
That is your song
Your sacred song
The way the light hit your eyes
in that fading sun
A sudden breeze filled with distant cries
Cause´ you are the one
But when you see me coming around
I´ll be the one who will let us both down
I´ll be the baggage from the story
never meant to be
But I can´t stop, I can´t stop being me
I dream about that single kiss
the one that never was
One night held in the sweetest bliss
A dream of poems and awes
And I´ll carry that forever
I carry this and cry
But then you smile
Yeah then you smile
So as the year is ending
you kiss him in the night
another year is pending
dressed in pain and delight
So if you see me coming around
I´ll be the one who will let us both down
I´ll be the baggage from the story
never meant to be
But I can´t stop, I can´t stop being me
So if you see me coming around
I´ll be the one who will let us both down
I´ll be the baggage from the story
never meant to be
But I can´t stop, I can´t stop being me
ASK ERATO
(Svahn)
It´s in the way you look
when the evening is over
It´s in the way you say hello, that makes me
act all nervous and drunk
yet completely sober
Thats just the way it goes
The way it goes
The way it goes
It´s in the way you smile, when
talking ´bout the songs you love
It´s in the way make me feel, when I think
about every single word
how your voice made the evening
Thats just the way I go
The way I go
The way I go
The way I go
So ask Erato if my feelings are all wrong
If I keep hearing your song
yeah I might be lost but my temple stands strong
´cause you are perfect by design
It´s in the way you laugh
How your notes spark what´s in me
How they force me to obey my senses
I could share thousands of thoughts
on how you break my defenses
That glistering talent that you hold
That you hold
That you hold
It´s in the way you are
compared to the masses
It´s in the way you light what´s dark inside me
a short glimpse of what could have been
if I was someone else that is
That´s all I wish I was
The way he is
The way he is
The way he is
So ask Erato if my feelings are all wrong
If I keep hearing your song
yeah I might be lost but my temple stands strong
´cause you are perfect by design
So praise the poet and the painters guided hand
And the passion for which they stand
It´s just a totem, a celebration of all things grand
Yeah you are perfect by design
THE REASON I AM
(Svahn)
One smile and a look from your eyes
is enough to ignite
my soul and the songs of the night
watch them burn as I cry
Skin to skin behind shut blinds
in a dream, you and I
hand in hand, a mistake we could find
so sweet and all worth while
If I only could be here with you
in a world you´d call me baby
the things we would see, the things we would do
As my heart fits perfect in your hand
your smile burns every ”maybe”
or putting it simply, you´re the reason I am
you´re the reason I am
Never wanted any one like this
Anything I would do
For a chance of that one single kiss
The one I´ll never have with you
If I only could be here with you
in a world you´d call me baby
the things we would see, the things we would do
As my heart fits perfect in your hand
your smile burns every ”maybe”
or putting it simply, you´re the reason I am
you´re the reason I am
and there´s a reason for that
But if this is love then I don´t want it
Take it away, if you please
If this is love then I don´t need it
Take it away, if you please
A TOMB OF AN UNKNOWN CHILD
(Wirén)
Your heart is slowly slowing down
You´re almost there now
A bright quick glitter in your eye
One last good bye
Oh, the angels are all here
To embrace you
Dont be afraid you´re not alone
All you ever wanted to was live your life
To play with your friends without a grown up fight
And now you never get to kiss a girl
Your mom will never see your wedding walz
A small coffin weighs more than a large
On your way home from school today
In the city you love
A laugh from a friend
The sun in your eyes
The last good bye
Oh what was the last thing going through your mind
I hope to god you were not afraid
Oh what happens to your dreams
When you´re not here
Please let me carry them for you
A MAN THAT NEVER WAS
(Svahn)
When I hear your voice beside of me
The brilliance of your laughter
Well, I´m not longing for the morning after
Your silent smile paints the evening white
And the moon seem so much brighter
It´s the song of YOU, I am but the writer
The shortest look set my mind at ease
you feed the sweetest fire
that burns inside, a cup of pure desire
Buried deep in its purest form
the light is almost blinding
and the dreams you give they´re so inviting
If you only saw the things I see,
the vastness of your being
you couldn't blame me
for the feelings that I´m feeling
If you ever felt the poets urge
seen a glance of things worth seeing
you couldn't help
but fall for dreams worth dreaming
There´s no single hope at all but hey
sweet dreams can make you wander
on sacred grounds from here to yonder
When we´ve said goodbye at the evenings end
I dance to songs so gentle
with thoughts of you the night becomes my temple
EMERGENCY EXIT
(Wirén)
Again in the middle of the night
My thoughts running away without a guide
I cant tell what is wrong or what is right
Just wanna rest my head and for a second hide
I’ve starred into the sun so many years
Just to make you see that I can shine
But in the shadow I felt tired and bruised
I Don’t wanna be the one who stand accused
So Im walking out the back door
Cause I, I cant handle this anymore
I don’t want another friend tonight
I just want someone to return my love
So Im walking out the back door
Im here with my heart between my hands
Just to hope that you can see what my mind cant tell
In my dreams it all make perfect sense
And in the light of the moon I hope you hear my prayers
So Im walking out the back door
Cause I, I cant handle this anymore
I don’t want another friend tonight
I just want someone to return my love
So Im walking out the back door
DIVINE MATE
(Wirén)
There is a part
In the corner of my heart
Its been dark a while
But inside it's a meadow, my child
I can see you there, all merged up in my life
When you go there,
You become a millionaire
Of love and light
And fairytales thats mine
The fairytales turned out to be my life
And I can see you
Its oh so clear
It is you and me
Forever you and me
And I can se eus dancing there
We are one and free
Forever you and me
When I see you
I believe that love is true
Its been hiding for me
But inside I always knew
That the love I Have was all meant for you
Love came out with a golden dress
And healed my heart like an angels call
I fell asleep in your sweet caress
And woke embraced by your soul
SHE´S GOING DOWN THE WATER
(Wirén/Phillips)
Im not happy but I wish I was
Im not happy and its, its all because
Its understood, its over
Its all through
End, over
I left you
Im not crying but I know I should
In not crying but I wish I could
Cause Its understood, its over
Its all through
End, over
I left you
And you left me
She’s going down the water
I don’t even bother
SOMEONE ELSE
(Wirén)
These are the days
That darkness dress me in its finest suit
These are the days
When the painting fade out and leaves me blue
These are the days when I need some gold
To fill up the hole inside my soul
These are the days
When I dont like to be liked in any way
These days I am out of my sense
These days I wish I was someone else
Those were the years!
When I woke and felt I couldbq do no more
Those were the years
Of feeling broken hearted insecure
Those were the years when a let you all down
And let myself in a shamful way drown
Those were the years
When I dont liked to be loved in any way
Those years I was out my sense
Those years I wish I was somewhere else
This is the time
I still have a broken heart disease
This is the time
Some days Im still down on my hands and knees
This time I will try to find a way
Not to follow the path the once left me stray
This is the time
When I try to like to be liked by you
This time I am out of my sense
This time I still wish I was someone else
WHERE NIGHTMARES GO TO DIE
(Svahn)
The nightmares only stop
When I lay myself to sleep
When I dream
all my ghosts they go away
The secrets that I feel
Has grown so strong I cannot see
A distant song
Never sung for you and me
A gently crafted tune
Made from notes you seldom hear
A different world
A precious place all bright and clear
Behind closed eyes I feel
Your hand, the sweetest touch
My own creation,
A made up state I miss so much
`cause baby I´m all that I can be
even if it does mean that I´m not
the one you wish to meet
the one who has all those things I ain´t got
But then the morning makes its way
And refuse my dreams to stay
With fading poems
I rise and curse the day
The sounds of a crashing dawn
Hurts my very eyes
As life marches
And burn these sweet lullabies
