For Fredrika Stahl, 25, who already has two internationally-acclaimed albums to her name, Sweep me away represents a whole new level of musical achievement. Before this she has had to overcome that trait that lies deep within any self-respecting Swede; perfectionism. “In the past I was so afraid of missing a note that I concentrated too hard,” she explains, “I wanted everything to be perfect. I ended up struggling with the over-perfectionist side of my personality and learned how to go with the music.” And so the shy young Swede, who had been living in France for seven years, working tirelessly to secure her credentials in the jazz world with her refined jazz-pop numbers, went from top-student to prom-queen. Queen of a prom that is romantic yet sometimes disparate, where pop blends with soul or acoustic hip-hop before a few jazz-blues piano chords and flashes of dazzling brass come into play. Her voice, which is overdubbed, arranged and expertly handled as the instrument it is, sometimes soars high to fly alongside the notes. A twelve-strong string section lends a subtly lyrical brightness to a world of sound that bares its fair share of cracks and fragilities; a world where we are constantly reminded that we are dealing with a true melodist. One who delights the ear with songs to be hummed long after they’ve been heard. Usually she writes songs in a pop-flavoured format, then entrusts their arrangement to the jazz musicians she plays with. But in this case Fredrika herself went as far as she could with the demos, saying, “It was the first time I’d ever made such complex demos. They had a lot of vocal arrangements, even though I’ve never taken singing lessons. The finished songs are very close to the original demos. I spent a year sitting alone at my keyboard in the Stockholm apartment I’d rented. In France I had started to feel cut off from my roots. I needed to refocus on myself and make music on my own. It was a very intense experience”. Recent years have been spent touring Japan and Germany, where Fredrika Stahl enjoys a large following due in part to her ability to give her all on stage, helped by the amazing cheerful personality that emanates from this slight young blonde who has performed for the likes of Herbie Hancock, Richard Bona and Maceo Parker. “Jazz is brilliant for playing live. I have learned a great deal. Initially, there was a distance because I was barely twenty and I was playing with musicians who were in their fifties. I was saved by the fact that I write my own songs. Now I feel ready to try anything, from singing with a big band to covering standards, which I actually often do.” This passion for the genre started with her first foray into Parisian clubs, such as the New Morning and Duc des Lombards, when she decided to spend a gap year in France at the age of seventeen, just after sitting the baccalaureate. “Between the ages of four and twelve I went to school in France, and so I had a bit of a shock when I went back to Sweden with my parents at twelve. In France I felt Swedish, but going back to my country I realised that the other girls in my class didn’t listen to the same music as me or watch the same TV shows. It felt like there was a whole area of everyday culture missing. That’s why I decided to go back to France.” She originally wanted to dance, but fell in love with music. One day, in the English pub where she was working as a waitress, she met producer Geef, a fan of American soul and hip-hop. He would go on to work alongside Fredrika on her first two albums. Seven years later, it’s still Geef, now working closely with Jeff Delort (co-credited with four tracks on Fredrika’s second album) to produce Sweep me away. Of her producers she says, “They’re very different, but they complement each other. Geef looks at the groove and the beats, while Jeff concentrates on the textures and sound”. Some great jazz and funk musicians have brought their inimitable touches to the album, such as pianist Eric Legnini, bassist Daniel Romeo, drummer Arnaud Renaville, and Romain Collin, a French pianist living in New York. “Even if they don’t play jazz on the record, they each have a particular vibe” she says. The same goes for the talented Edith Fambuena, whose work generally tends more towards pop and who played virtually all the guitars on the album; “I love her fragility”, adds Fredrika. The result is very feminine and personal, in the manner of the singer-songwriters that Fredrika admires, such as Regina Spektor and Emiliana Torrini. It’s hard to stop listening to Sweep me away, with its troubled piano giving way to sorrow-stricken violins, or the intimate and dreamy refrain of Fast moving train. The same goes for the ritornello-waltz of A drop in the sea, conjuring up images of nostalgic dreamscapes and the swaying melody of Fling on boy. Onwards into M.O.S.W. and its old-school soul touch, followed by the delightful and sun-filled Song of July. We hear the pop gem Rocket trip to Mars and, finally, the lovely So high. After all this, it is equally as hard to cease to admire Fredrika Stahl’s smooth metamorphosis from jazz chrysalis to pop butterfly.

Please Let Me In Destiny A Fraction Of You Game Over Try Again Où Veux-tu Aller What About Seems So Simple A Little Kiss The Picture Of You Les Jeux Sont Faits Where Are You Going You (Japanese Bonus Track)
Willow Trivial Needs Off To Dance Little Muse We Are Whole Gaspard (Instrumental) Glory Midday Moon Trip Me Up Deep Breath Then Dive
Ces Petits Riens I love you Never Can Say Goodbye Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Wicked Game
A Fraction Of You Please Let Me In Open the door Please let me in Into a fantasy world Let the ride begin Where the sun is high And the wind lays low Where the air smells sweet And the music flows Open the door Please let me in Into the majestic world That love can bring Let me walk down the road Let me explore To discover those places Every soul adores Or I'm gonna walk every road Sail every sea Climb every mountain ‘Til I find the key Walk every road Sail every sea Climb every mountain ‘Til I find the key Open the door Please let me in Into a mystical world Let the ride begin Let it go, we will flow Through highs and lows Then we'll wait to see What the future shows Open the door Please let me in Into the marvellous world That love can bring Let me pick all the fruits Hanging from the trees Let us, settle down And dig into the feast Or I'm gonna walk every road Sail every sea Climb every mountain ‘Til I find the key Walk every road Sail every sea Climb every mountain ‘Til I find the key Walk every road Sail every sea Climb every mountain ‘Til I find the key Destiny Do you rely on destiny As a god planning in advance Or do you believe in your own power And hope for a bit of chance Do you think some people Are born to succeed, others cursed to fail Or would you rather believe That you are the writer of your tale Are we hitchhikers on an endless road Choosing where to stop and which path to go In that case I want you to grab my hand We will no longer have to walk I promise we will flow Do you think confrontation pop up Like a test for you to pass Or do you see them as things to avoid And stick to the green grass Do you think beauty Is a reflection from within Or are there just some lucky bastards That can eat and still be thin Are we hitchhikers on an endless road Choosing where to stop and which path to go In that case I want you to grab my hand And we will no longer have to walk I promise we will flow Do you think some folks are meant for each other Like there's a single true match Or are you just someone that passed my way And that I was lucky enough to catch Are we hitchhikers on an endless road Choosing where to stop and which path to go In that case I want you to grab my hand And we will no longer have to walk I promise we will flow We will flow A Fraction of You Indifference The lack of lust that keeps you alive The loss of the flame that helps you survive The moment in which nothing matters When the sound of your voice gradually gets flatter Determination The time you know what is to be done When you've set the goal and start to run When you're willing to give more than all And to get back up if ever you fall Confusion A lack of knowledge, a weakness of mind A vulnerable state where your directions are blind The moment you would grab any stretched hand The time you could lose your strongest band Happiness When you have a million reasons to live And at least a thousand things to give Those precious moments you wish never to stop Like candy with cream on the top This is just a fraction of what's happening inside But you ought to know your words and my feelings coincide Game Over The game is over I lost this round I thought I could win more Than I actually found Was it worth a try No I wouldn't say The price was too high For someone like me to pay But what's the use Of regretting what's done Wouldn't I do it again If another chance would come I've become so bitter Over what's supposed to be sweet And still I'm eager To be offered another treat I've thought if through and I've come to a conclusion That I tend to put aside to end up with confusion I'm trying to save myself from superfluous pain With the trade-off of losing any possible gain I'm watching every step building up a thick shield Searching my way out of a condemned mind field, mind field The game is over And I've lost my bet Now all I can play with Is a dull empty threat But what is it worth If it's against your will How would I know If you really care for me still I've thought if through and I've come to a conclusion That I tend to put aside to end up with confusion I'm trying to save myself from superfluous pain With the trade-off of losing any possible gain I'm watching every step building up a thick shield Searching my way out of a condemned mind field, mind field Try Again I've tried, try again I said there must be an end So many things I've done, no change I'll just try again For how long will this go on It all feels so wrong Must stop, want an end But it starts all over again What should I do I can't help myself I'll just try again For how long will this go on It all feels so wrong I've tried, try again I said there must be an end What should I do I can't help myself I've tried my best For how long will this go on It all feels so wrong Must stop, want an end But it starts all over again Où Veux-Tu Aller Chaque matin tu t'éveilles au ventre cette peur De devoir vivre ce jour sans voir passer les heures Tu inspires, tu expires, sans le moindre désir De devoir vivre ce jour sans rien pouvoir choisir Chaque soir dans tes rêves, les mêmes ambitions Pour qu'au bout de la nuit s’envolent tes illusions Pourtant prête à tout pour grimper à l'échelle Tu as perdu de vue ton but : la vie, la belle Déploie tes ailes, va flâner dans le ciel Un seul conseil : ne vole pas face au soleil Où veux-tu aller, tu vas perdre l'esprit En cherchant ce nulle part, un souvenir, ton île Si chaque jour ta vie passe C'est que l'heure s'efface Toi tu essayes toujours d'y laisser une trace Sûre que dans ce rêve tu trouveras ta place Un instant de répit, un clin d'œil dans la glace Déploie tes ailes, va flâner dans le ciel Un seul conseil : ne vole pas face au soleil Où veux-tu aller, tu vas perdre l'esprit En cherchant ce nulle part, un souvenir, ton île D'aussi haut, les nuages forment un voile Au-dessus de la lune, des étoiles Déploie tes ailes, va flâner dans le ciel Un seul conseil : ne vole pas face au soleil Où veux-tu aller, tu vas perdre l'esprit En cherchant ce nulle part, un souvenir, ton île What About There's someone tapping on my window pane No, I'm dreaming again It's just the morning rain But what about the voices From the room next door And the sound of your steps on my wooden floor If silence only could be what I should If loneliness would leave me alone But nothing would do me more good Than not being on my own Than not being on my own What about the whispers in sleepless nights What about the screams and endless fights What about the records that you loved to play What about the tunes that you hummed all day If silence only could be what I should If loneliness would leave me alone But nothing would do me more good Than not being on my own Than not being on my own If silence only could be what I should If loneliness would leave me alone But nothing would do me more good Than not being on my own Than not being on my own There's someone tapping on my window pane No, I'm dreaming again It's just the morning rain Seems So Simple I just caught the train to a random destination Living the present without a single obligation Willing to grab whatever the future will propose And prepared to fight whatever it may oppose Seems so simple It can't get worse Like a step forward To start a new verse I'm not the only passenger on this train A dozen of us trying to break the chain Scared about leaving a comfortable life Some even dropping their home and wife Seems so simple It can't get worse Like a step forward To start a new verse The train keeps moving, rolling on And throwing out my memories as I move along I'm ready now I can feel it slow down I step off the train in this unknown town Seems so simple It can't get worse Like a step forward To start a new verse Seems so simple No it can't get worse Like a step forward To start a new verse A Little Kiss A little kiss I all I'm asking for Just a little kiss And I won't expect more Just a little kiss Is all I need Just a little kiss And I'll take my leave Jag vill bara få känna dina läppar mot mina Trygghet och värme i famnen vill finna Låtsas för en gång att endast vara din Bara få känna din hand i min A little kiss To show me that you care Just a little kiss Show me that you dare Just a little kiss And I'll set off to the sky Just a little kiss Give me wings Make me fly Je veux sentir ton corps tout contre mon coeur Et te savoir d'humeur à faire un effort Le baiser de Doisneau sur les Champs-Élysées Ambiance tamisée, un soir d'été A little kiss Is all I'm asking for Just a little kiss And I won't expect more Just a little kiss Is all I need Just a little kiss And I'll take my lead Just want to feel your lips against mine The smell of your skin and thoughts of your mind Just want to pretend to be your true love To caress your skin soft as a dove Soft as a dove, soft as a dove The Picture Of You I drew a picture And that picture was of you A combination of rhymes And that song was for you I saw a movie The story was like ours And next to my bed Is where I keep your dead flowers There's not a dream Where you're not involved But by the time I wake up Your face has dissolved The time will come When this will be history Left in my mind As an unsolved mystery I do have a job A few friends and occupations But I consider them more As social obligations I'm eating well About three times a day And if I were religious I swear I would pray I'm trying to focus on all The nonsense I do But like obsessed All I can see is you The time will come When this will be history Left in my mind As an unsolved mystery Days gone by, but what is different What has changed You promised me That time would get things arranged Perhaps you've forgotten me Just like you were supposed to do But I'm still singing my song And looking at the picture I drew I still dream And you keep being involved But by the time I wake up Your face has dissolved The time must come When this will be history Left in my mind As an unsolved mystery Oh mystery, mystery, mystery...

Tributaries
Monumental mismatch We met in the spring, we fell in the fall Then endured our winter of discontent Seems need defies all reason And self-inflicted suffering knows no season You vex me, perplex me I wonder after me who'll be the next me I see through it, but can't undo it This monumental mismatch You sway me, you play me You come to spend an hour and over-stay me You unspool me, completely rule me This monumental mismatch Before your kisses dry you're gone And you leave me with your taste to carry on I know what I know better and I know that I’m smart But with my predilection for contradiction I'm a set-up for a broken heart You tease me, you please me Through nights of loneliness your kisses ease me You ignite me and I can't fight me And this monumental mismatch You're a merciless intrusion, a constant cruel confusion The inevitable conclusion is that I love you Before your kisses dry you're gone And you leave me with your taste to carry on I know what I know better and I know that I’m smart But with my predilection for contradiction I'm a set-up for a broken heart You tease me, you please me Through nights of loneliness your kisses ease me You ignite me and I can't fight me And this monumental mismatch You're a merciless intrusion, a constant cruel confusion The inevitable conclusion is that I love you You're a merciless intrusion, a constant cruel confusion The inevitable conclusion is that I love you So high He moved my heart And I moved his lips I held him close He laid his hands on my hips No no I don’t wanna know why I have my story No no I need my bubble to fly Fly away far from my worries I offered him a dance He offered me a seat Seems he’d rather dance With his hands than with his feet No no I don’t wanna know why I trust my feeling No no I think this is the guy For my broken-heart’s healing And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk, walk on by He said “I like you” I said “I love you too”, I love you too He bought me twelve drinks Such a gentle thing to do, to do No no I don’t wanna know why I have my vision No if I pick to dream or to cry Is my own decision He followed me home That considerate guy Never called next day Guess he was to shy No no I don’t wanna know why Don’t want your implication No I don’t wanna leave my pink cloud So I stick to my explanation And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk on by And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk on by And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk, walk on by Pourquoi pas moi Je vis l’enfer, pourquoi pas lui Tendue, ma main a glissée sur son emprise J’ai vu l’enfer m’ouvrir ses bras Mise à nu, réchauffée à l’ombre de ses draps Il dit : «je ne suis pas celui que tu crois Tu es folle et perdue» J’aurai dû le confondre à son étoile Il dit qu’avec le temps s’effacera mon tourment Il se trompe et me trompe dans ce monde sans dessous Je vis l’amour, pourquoi pas lui Fermer les yeux, s’agripper sans perdre prise J’ai vu l’amour m’ouvrir ses portes Mise a nu, brûlée vive, que le diable m’emporte Il dit que : « je ne suis pas celui que tu penses Tu es folle et perdue » Je l’aurai confondu à mon étoile Il dit qu’avec le temps s’effacera mon tourment Il me trompe, et se trompe dans ce monde sans dessous Car chaque matin ma vie n’a aucun sens Et pas un instant je ne me mens qu’il subsiste une chance pour nous deux Et j’arrive à y croire Tout du moins jusqu’à ce que vienne le soir Il dit que : « je ne suis pas celui que tu penses Tu es folle et perdue » Je l’aurai confondu à mon étoile Il dit qu’avec le temps s’effacera mon tourment Il me trompe, et se trompe dans ce monde sans dessous Car chaque matin ma vie n’a aucun sens Et pas un instant je ne me mens qu’il subsiste une chance pour nous deux Et j’arrive à y croire Tout du moins jusqu’à ce que vienne le soir Irreplaceable I want to be remembered as "one of a kind" Unique and why not "out of her mind" I want to be special, unpredictable and absurd I want to tell people the most aberrant things they've heard I want to have an eye-catching, distinctive look I want to have all the loonies on the hook I want to do everything without moderation Without a single thought or consideration ‘Cause I, you, them Oh what wouldn't we do To be irreplaceable ‘Cause I, you, them Oh what wouldn't we do To be irreplaceable None of my partners introduced me their folks Afraid that I might pull off some awkward jokes And once we've split up they would always say That I’m not a girl to marry anyway ‘Cause I like to complain and I love to start fights I always leave out the milk and never turn off the lights I don't change the bin bag event though it's packed I just jam in the trash until the bag is cracked ‘Cause I, you, them Oh what wouldn't we do To be irreplaceable ‘Cause I, you, them Oh what wouldn't we do To be irreplaceable ‘Cause I, you, them Oh what wouldn't we do To be irreplaceable Stuck on a stranger The record is stuck On this same old tune I wish you and I Could get stuck like it, too I’ve served you a drink A dozen of times Glass after glass Just to make the night last With you the time won't stand still And once you’ve walked out the door I might not see you anymore And I have a picture in my mind of which I can't let go There's you and I but the rest of the world doesn't show And I studied every line and mark upon your face So I can picture you at any time, at any place Your words have meaning, yet no sound 'Cause they’re drenched in the sun To which we're bound You look at me like we share a past You smoke every cigarette like it was your last But time won't stand still And once you walk out the door I might not see you anymore And I have a picture in my mind of which I can't let go There's you and I but the rest of the world doesn't show And I studied every line and mark upon your face So I can picture you at any time, at any place Any time, at any place The record is stuck On the same old tune Just as I’ll always be Stuck on you

det ont att se Hur vi met tiden glidit isär Hur jag ingenting längre hyser för den Som jag innan höll så kär Du må böna, du må be Men jag has ingenting kvar att ge Ja visst gör det ont att minnas Hur underbart allting var På den tiden, nu länge sedan När ditt riktiga jag fanns kvar Lyckan verkade så lätt att nå Tänk att det skulle ta sådan tid att förstå Att den ej fanns uti Dina ögon blå Att den ej fanns uti Dina ögon blå Ja se på mig, se på vårt liv Vas delar vi mer än slag och kiv Du envisas om att tro Att det bara är en fas Men misstanken borde gro att Lusten sakta ifran mig tas Så nu får allt detta vara slut Låt oss lägga ner våra vapen och damma av allt krut Låt oss släppa taget, låt var och en gå fri Låt oss släppa greppet om det som För länge sen var “vi” Lyckan verkade så lätt att nå Tänk att det skulle ta sådan tid att förstå Att den ej fanns uti Dina ögon blå Att den ej fanns uti Dina ögon blå The damage is done The damage is done You'd better pack your stuff and run The damage is done The spell has been broken It's getting worse since I awoke and The last words are spoken It's useless to bother now It didn't work anyhow It's useless to bother now Don't turn around I'm not a lost and found Don't turn around Once more I feel poorer than poor And once more I’ve shown you the door One more time you're no longer mine But we're further down the line Once more I feel poorer than poor And once more I’ve shown you the door One more time you're no longer mine But we're further down the line The damage is done You'd better pack the stuff and run The damage is done So this is our end Just wounds left to mend Is this our end Once more I feel poorer than poor And once more I’ve shown you the door Once more time you're no longer mine But we're further down the line Once more I feel poorer than poor And once more I’ve shown you the door One more time you're no longer mine But we're further down the line Once more I feel poorer than poor And once more I’ve shown you the door One more time you're no longer mine But we're further down the line Irresistiblement Tout m’entraîne Irrésistiblement vers toi Comme avant Tout m'enchaîne Irrésistiblement à toi Je le sens Comme le jour revient après la nuit Et le soleil toujours après la pluie Comme un oiseau qui revient vers son nid Vers mon amour je vais aussi Tout m’entraîne Irrésistiblement vers toi À chaque instant Tout m'enchaîne Irrésistiblement à toi Je le sens Comme la mer qui frappe le rocher Obstinément, sans jamais désarmer Par le malheur on est souvent frappé Mais l'amour seul peut nous sauver Tout m’entraîne Irrésistiblement vers toi À chaque instant Tout m'enchaîne Irrésistiblement à toi Je le sens Comme la joie revient après les pleurs Après l'hiver revient le temps des fleurs Au moment où l'on croit pue tout se meurt L'amour revient en grand vainqueur Tout m'entraîne Irrésistiblement vers toi Comme avant Tout m’enchaîne Irrésistiblement à toi Je le sens Tout m'entraîne Irrésistiblement à toi Comme avant My Favorite Boy Have I told you about my favourite boy The one I care for and who brings me joy There's nothing that I wouldn't sacrifice To be by his side ‘cause it’s paradise He’s a living dream how can't you see When it’s so clear and obvious to me His words are like jazz, you can't get enough But once it stops it’s just too rough Oh why oh why does he make my head spin Oh my oh my it’s like I’ve had too much gin When he looks into my eyes Have I told you about my favourite boy The one I care for and who brings me joy There's nothing that I wouldn't sacrifice To be by his side ‘cause it’s paradise I wish you’d seen him with your own two eyes ‘Cause he's a man unlike all other guys I talk too much I know I'm hard to bear But it’s so good I feel I have to share Oh why oh why does he make my head spin Oh my oh my it’s like I’ve had too much gin When he looks into my eyes I wish you’d seen him with your own two eyes ‘Cause he's a man unlike all other guys I talk too much I know I'm hard to bear But it’s so good I feel I have to share Oh why oh why does he make my head spin Oh my oh my it’s like I’ve had too much gin When he looks into my eyes Oh why oh why does he make my head spin Oh my oh my it’s like I’ve had too much gin When he looks into my eyes
Sweep Me Away
*** Thanx a lot to Amnuayman for these lyrics ***
Never thought I would say these words But this was beyond my control My fingers were itching But my hands too small Once steady on my feet, feet Now sinking through the mud I'm looking at the stars, stars While awaiting the flood Never thought I would say these words I might have got it wrong There's a hole in my mind No more answers to find Once fighting that calm, calm Now cooling down my blood I'm looking at the stars, stars While awaiting the flood Sweep me away Sweep me away Sweep me away Sweep me away Sweep me away Sweep me away Once steady on my feet, feet Now sinking through the mud I'm looking at the stars, stars While awaiting the flood
Fast Moving Train What is different, what is news We're on a carousel spinning through deja-vu What remains and for what reason We see pastures change but to familiar seasons All over again, all over again We're stuck in a pattern, an endless refrain All over again, all over again We're trap in a loop on a fast moving train How many songs, how many poems 'Til we turn away from illusionary omens How many spins, how many springs Before common sense finally win All over again, all over again We're stuck in a pattern, an endless refrain All over again, all over again We're trap in a loop on a fast moving train All over again, all over again We're stuck in a pattern, an endless refrain All over again, all over again We're trap in a loop on a fast moving train All over again, all over again We're stuck in a pattern, an endless refrain All over again, all over again We're trap in a loop on a fast moving train
Rocket Trip To Mars
I'm far away I took a rocket trip to mars I flew away 'cause life on earth was too harsh on me When you were around, I found life moved along on a breeze Then you went away and the air turned thick and hard to breathe I'm far away I’m floating high above it all I flew away 'cause from up here all seems so small, so plain I walked on the moon but too soon I couldn't stand the view I turned to the sun and the stars and the ocean down on you And I know that I fooled around I was wrong but I can't go back in time And I know that you would do the same Same rules for both parts of the game We played with the cards, we broke our hearts We played with the cards, we broke our hearts I'm far away I took a rocket trip to mars I flew away left all behind except some scars from you Only high up here I can give my foggy minds some peace But deep down I fear the day the dream of us will cease And give my mind some peace And I know that I fooled around I was wrong but I can't go back in time And I know that you would do the same Same rules for both parts of the game We played with the cards, we broke our hearts We played with the cards, we broke You left me alone in this world You left me alone in this world I flew away, I flew away far Entre toi et moi c'est cassé Plus rien n'ira And I know that I fooled around I was wrong but I can't go back in time But I know that you would do the same Same rules for both parts of the game We played with the cards, we broke our hearts We played with the cards, we broke And I know that I fooled around I was wrong but I can't go back in time And I know that you would do the same Same rules for both parts of the game We played with the cards, we broke our hearts We played with the cards, we broke
Altered Lens We stay in the dark To see with clear sight It's easier having our wrongs and rights They say don't turn around Keep your eyes on the screen We'll show you all that ought to be seen Oh keep believing Keep on watching the show Without ever wondering Why we're lined-up in a row Keep believing We've found a sense While watching the world Through an altered lens Stay by the fire We can stay by the heat Not taking the risk of losing our front-seat We can praise ourselves Throw flowers and applaud Knowing we're worth it just like we've been told Oh keep believing Keep on watching the show Without ever wondering Why we're lined-up in a row Keep believing we've found a sense While watching the world Oh keep believing Keep on watching the show Without ever wondering Why we're lined-up in a row Keep believing we've found a sense While watching the world Oh keep believing Keep on watching the show Without ever wondering Why we're lined-up in a row Keep believing we've found a sense While watching the world While watching the world Through an altered lens
M.O.S.W. I'm sorry, think you misunderstood I'm harsh and rude but my intentions are good I'm not mean, don't meant to call you names, no, no To pick fights and gave you sleepless night Yes babe what I'm trying to say Is that I'm showing my love In my own special way Yes babe this is how I play I'm showing my love In my own special way Pardon me if I seem a bit cold For the constant rejection of your love and affection Don't wanna be taken for granted you see Oh I preserved my heart, now deserve my heart Yes babe what I'm trying to say Is that I'm showing my love In my own special way Yes babe this is how I play I'm showing my love In my own special way I'm sorry hope you know I am But you can't just love when loving a man Yes babe what I'm trying to say Is that I'm showing my love In my own special way Yes babe this is how I play I'm showing my love In my own special way Yes babe what I'm trying to say Is that I'm showing my love In my own special way Yes babe this is how I play I'm showing my love In my own special way
A Drop In A Sea I've seen nothing that hasn't yet been seen I've lived wishing for every man's dream All the colours in my mind already have a name And the lines I draw never cross the frame Am I them or are they me Am I you or are you me Can't believe I'm only A drop in the sea Can't believe I'm only Born just to be Poets on the silver platter my thoughts reveal But they were for me to give, not to receive Painters picture my mind and soul Leaving me with nothing but an empty black hole Am I them or are they me Am I you or are you me Can't believe I'm only A drop in the sea Can't believe I'm only Born just to be Believed I was different like you believed you were too Believed was a way to make it through
She & I She can't sleep at night, still on the hunt for her four-leaf clover Through her tunnel sight she seeks out the chances left over She can't waste time with so much left to do Ease was a ticking bomb, dreams the target that it blew up Now it's pulling her down She walks a tightrope race over slopes so steep Where the light-keeper seems to have fallen asleep Can't they see she'll never get where they expect her to be She walks a tightrope race over slopes so steep While the light-keeper seem to have fallen asleep Can't they see she'll never get where they expect her to be I can't sleep at night, a sense of peace and my body shivers She can't sleep at night, it's under her skin like a thousand slivers Cause I can't waste time with so much left to do Ease was a ticking bomb, dreams the target that it blew up Now it's dragging me down She walks a tightrope race over slopes so steep Where the light-keeper seems to have fallen asleep Can't they see she'll never get where they expect her to be She walks a tightrope race over slopes so steep While the light-keeper seem to have fallen asleep Can't they see she'll never get where they expect her to be I walk a tightrope race over cliffs so sharp Where the world I once knew is now falling apart Can't she see I'll never get where she expect me to be And we walk a tightrope race over slopes so steep While the light-keeper seems to have fallen asleep Can't she see I'll never get who she's trying to be
Fling On Boy I know that you've avoided me a while I know there's something hiding in your smile But I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind I know your mind is set on someone else The way you talk and the way you kiss tells But I don't mind, I don't mind, I'll be fine I don't mind, I don't mind But I beg and I plead don't fail me please I beg and I plead love me don't leave I'm asking you whatever you do Don't waste our chance away Dream on, boy, but swear you'll stay I know your scent but lately it has changed You look thinner and your hair is rearranged But I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind I see you laugh just like we did before And hear your soft, sweet whispers through the door But I don't mind, I don't mind, I'll be fine I don't mind, I don't mind But I beg and I plead don't fail me please I beg and I plead love me don't leave I'm asking you whatever you do Don't waste our chance away Fling on, boy, but swear you'll stay But I beg and I plead don't fail me please I beg and I plead love me don't leave I'm asking you whatever you do Don't waste our chance away Fling on, boy, but swear you'll stay But I beg and I plead don't fail me please I beg and I plead love me don't leave I'm asking you whatever you do Don't waste our chance away Fling on, boy, but swear you'll stay Don't waste our chance away Fling on, boy, but swear you'll stay
What if What if I told you that I did it again That I accidentally cheated on you with your best friend What if I say he's so much better than you That I have to hold him prisoner the whole night through I didn't say I did, so don't think I would do But if I did do, then what would you do What if I told you that I lied from the start That I don't actually have a master in modern art What if I told you that I can't stand your mum That I think your brother's hot and your sister's dumb I didn't say I did, so don't think I would do But if I did do, are we through What if I told you Rose is not my real name That I find your nose crooked and your joke lame What if I told you that I was in it for the money That I just can't stand it when you call me honey-bunny I didn't say I did, so don't think I would do But if I did do, would it be me and you Don't just stand there, did you hear what I just said Yell or cry, hit me hard in the head You're the one who should be angry Yet I'm the one pulling my hair So won't you just please show that you care That doesn't mean I do What if I told you I set your car on fire ‘Cause you didn't react when I slashed all your tires What if I say I never went to that shrink ‘Cause I solve all my problems by poisoning your drinks I didn't say I did so, don't you think I would do But since I did do...well I guess you're through Don't just lie there, did you hear what I just said Shout or cry or I'll hit you hard in the head You're the one who should be angry yet I'm the one pulling my hair So won't you just please show that you care That doesn't mean I do There's no more me and you
In My Head Safely locked up in my own head Too sensitive to let go Safely locked up in my own head I wander down the road With the key in my left hand And your letter in the other With the key in my left hand I wonder where I'll go So this is where we'll finally meet In the moonlight on the snow-white sheets Yes by the river that will wash us clean We will lay down in the grass We will lay down in the grass forever green Safely locked up in my own head Too human to be sane Safely locked up in my own head I wander down the road Full of hows whys and what nows Full of emptiness Full of hows whys and what nows I wonder where I'll go So this is where we'll finally meet In the moonlight on the snow-white sheets Yes by the river that will wash us clean We will lay down in the grass We will lay down in the grass forever green So this is where we'll finally meet In the moonlight on the snow-white sheets Yes by the river that will wash us clean We will lay down in the grass We will lay down in the grass forever So this is where we'll finally meet In the moonlight on the snow-white sheets Yes by the river that will wash us clean So we will lay down in the grass free
Fading Away Thought I heard his voice last night I heard him asking "why?" Thought I heard his voice last night Then he opened up the sky I'm yearning for days long gone behind I'm burning for a truth that can't be mine I'm stalling, I'm falling Please help me out I've lost my way Please help me I'm turning cold and grey Please help me Don't leave me this way Please help me I'm fading away Saw him sitting by my bed Felt his hand on my cheek He counted the tears I shed Then started himself to weep I'm dreaming both feet on the ground I'm screaming but my voice doesn't make a sound I'm falling, I'm calling Please help me out I've lost my way Please help me I'm turning cold and grey Please help me Don't leave me this way Please help me I'm fading away Please help me out I've lost my way Please help me I'm turning cold and grey Please help me Don't leave me this way Please help me I'm fading away...
Song of July Splashing water Refreshing breeze Sun kissed hair Scratched knees Salty lips And sandy shoes Tickly ants And cut-off pants Freckled nose Big straw hat Morning swim And afternoon nap Camp fire Fireflies Buckets, spades Sandy eyes I know My mind is there to stay I know, I know I know My mind is there to stay I know, I know Sticky sunscreen Dusty road Barking dogs And unkissed frogs Grilled sausage Rusty bikes And clicking cameras And weekend hikes Water melon Water fight And rocking boat And floating kites Daisy chains Blueberry stains Climbing trees And stinging bees I know My mind is there to stay I know, I know I know My mind is there to stay As I watch the autumn rain wash you away I just know my mind is there to stay I know my mind is there to stay Lemon juice Strawberry jam Bright nights Mosquito bites Mosquito bites Every night Mosquito bites Ay ay Singing cricket Melting ice-cream Hardened feet Air-dried sheet Bumble bees And knee-high grass Blooming fields Forever last I know My mind is there to stay I know, I know I know My mind is there to stay As I watch the autumn rain wash you away I just know my mind is there to stay I know My mind is there to stay Hmm, I know I know My mind is there to stay I know, I know
So High
He moved my heart And I moved his lips I held him close He laid his hands on my hips No no I don’t wanna know why I have my story No no I need my bubble to fly Fly away far from my worries I offered him a dance He offered me a seat Seems he’d rather dance With his hands than with his feet No no I don’t wanna know why I trust my feeling No no I think this is the guy For my broken-heart’s healing And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk, walk on by He said “I like you” I said “I love you too”, I love you too He bought me twelve drinks Such a gentle thing to do, to do No no I don’t wanna know why I have my vision No if I pick to dream or to cry Is my own decision He followed me home That considerate guy Never called next day Guess he was to shy No no I don’t wanna know why Don’t want your implication No I don’t wanna leave my pink cloud So I stick to my explanation And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk on by And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk on by And so I think to myself I’m in my own world again My head is spinning around And there’s no exit to be found And so I think to myself He’s just like everyone else But feeling far too high To just let him walk, walk on by
Off To Dance
Willow Willow Whenever he goes It seems like I always come to you Hollow Until he returns It aches and it burns I lean on you Your shadow's hanging over me And keeps me from being found Comfort comes as all my tears Absorbs into your ground I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Show me something new On which I can rely To help me to get through Give me just one sign On which I can hold on To recall the love we knew Sparrow Came in the spring It sang me the things It'd seen far west Then sorrow Came with the wind And with broken wings I regained my nest Your drapes are closing over me I'm safe within your womb This is where I said I'll wait So this will be my tomb Show me something new On which I can rely To help me to get through Give me just one sign On which I can hold on To recall the love we knew Show me something new On which I can rely To help me to get through Give me just one sign On which I can hold on To recall the love we knew
Trivial Needs
Feels like I'm standing in dried glue God I miss the feeling of craving something to Put my soul at ease Please some trivial needs Need a habit I need a consolation prize Some nails to bite An urge to fight, then give in To put my role on hold And lose my self-control I can't let go Reason's got me In a strangehold Is there a way out of this I'm not here to please Nor fulfill other's needs I should just let them see How ordinary I can be Need a small corner, a little bubble of mine A concealed pleasure, my secret golden mine To treat no one but me To feed my sanity, to feed my sanity I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I can't let go Reason's got me In a strangehold Is there a way out of this I'm not here to please Nor fulfill other's needs I can't let go Reason's got me In a strangehold Is there a way out of this I'm not here to please Nor fulfill other's needs I should just let them see How ordinary I can be
Old tears, where did you go Who's gonna water me now Water my fears and my sores Can't see, I'm drifting in a cloud All fluffy, all silky within I'm losing myself in him I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Oh it's easier when you know what to ask for Oh I'm off to dance on heaven's slippery floor Old tears, where did you go Who's gonna water me now Water my songs and their source Ache, say, where do you hide Feeling like sparing a heart Or planning to strike back hard Oh it's easier when you know what to ask for Oh I'm off to dance on heaven's slippery floor Hear the echo of our feet Rhythmically stamping the hard ice sheet The past on display Let's spin on our heels Carve out a valley of hope and peace Can someone please just say Happiness is on its way Hear the echo of our feet Rhythmically stamping the hard ice sheet The past on display Let's spin on our heels Carve out a valley of hope and peace Can someone please just say Happiness is on its way, on its way
Little Muse
I've been wanting to say that this story is growing old Tried hard to believe in it but now the truth unfolds I just seem to have one use, being your little muse A line a set of chords All of this don't seem so fair You take but never share So I'm getting bored I've been wanting to hear your side of this story too But apart from a singing duel there's no message coming through I just seem to have a use, seem to be reduced To a line a set of chords I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake All of this don't seem so fair I try yet you don't care So I got too bored It won't be long before you turn All into another song It won't be long before you turn All into another song I don't think I can't stand no more lala's nor more oooo's No more corny love songs, no more miserable blues 'Cause I just seem to have one use, being your little muse A line a little rhyme All of this don't seem so fair You take but never share So I got too bored It won't be long before you turn All into another song It won't be long before you turn All into another song
We Are Whole
Closer I will need you more than that I will need you more than ever now The wind has changed, the page has turned And the previous chapters burned I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Closer I hold on to you, hold on to me Let's lie in bed and shape our memories We can reset, we can reborn Let the wind rise up to storm Change's coming up Forget all we knew Empty our cups Fill them up with something new Open your eyes and you will see We are whole now We are crystalized We are whole now I'll follow you through time We are whole now We are crystalized Inhale my soul We are whole now We are crystalized We are whole now I'll follow you through time We are whole now We are crystalized Inhale my soul Slowly Sliding down the rabbit hole Collecting images to map our souls Clear our heads switch our names Hit us hard with change Good will arise Time will right the wrongs Empty our cups Fill them up with something strong Open our minds and redesign We are whole now We are crystalized We are whole now I'll follow you through time We are whole now We are crystalized Inhale my soul We are whole now We are crystalized We are whole now I'll follow you through time We are whole now We are crystalized Inhale my soul We are whole now We are crystalized We are whole now I'll follow you through time We are whole now We are crystalized Inhale my soul We are whole now We are crystalized We are whole now I'll follow you through time We are whole now We are crystalized
Glory
In a small hotel room at the border of the sea And a whole world between my army and me In a small hotel room at the border of sanity Cut off my landmarks and identity Oh, the moon is glaring at me Oh, stars pointing at me In this small hotel room within these suffocating walls I train my ear to the unresponsive calls In this small hotel room, new decor and different view Stripped of all the habits that I knew I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Oh, the moon is glaring at me Oh, stars pointing at me Oh, it's such a laughable sight Oh, when you've seen me in a different light Treacherous glory Shallow popularity Teach us integrity To swallow this reality In a small hotel room, free yet a detainee For I lost my context, the definition of me In a small hotel room deprived from life's zest 'Cause my entourage's eyes were my confidence's nest Oh, the moon is glaring at me Oh, stars pointing at me Oh, it's such a laughable sight Oh, when you've seen me in a different light Treacherous glory Shallow popularity Teach us integrity To swallow this reality
Midday Moon
Come and site with me It might come soon You see I'm waiting for a glimpse A glimpse of the midday moon Been here a while How long I'm not sure But the sky might be a bit A bit brighter than before I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake It's that time again When I want to get away Snow is falling Life diamond dust The trees are glazed With polished frost But nothing sparkles In the absence of light The scene's on hold Through the late polar night It's that time again When I want to get away It's that time again When I want to get away It's that time again When I want to get away It's that time again When I want to get away
Trip me up
They call me the odd You're the author of that name I like you a lot But I hate you just the same I smile and take it on the chin Could answer your backstab With a little face slap But bite my tongue 'til it bleeds Trip me up I know you'd like to see me fall Just like I hope you will do I know it feels hard For your sensible heart I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I push you over You know I like you more from far Won't drown in the middle with you It's sad but true I'd rather risk losing you I comb your hair Braid it into a thick rope Add a red and white rose Swirl it neatly 'round my throat You see I took it on the chin But gathered every sharp word within Trip me up I know you'd like to see me fall Just like I hope you will do I know it feels hard For your sensible heart I push you over You know I like you more from far Won't drown in the middle with you It's sad but true I'd rather lose you Trip me up I know you'd like to see me fall Just like I hope you will do I know it feels hard For your sensible heart I push you over You know I like you more from far Won't drown in the middle with you It's sad but true I'd rather lose you
Deep Breath Then Dive
Some people think I cry because I'm sad But they're wrong, I'm more than fine Most people differ the good from bad Bitter sweet is my constant state of mind I feel my heart twist and turn But I feel it beat I let my skin sting and burn But I sense the heat I take a deep breath then dive Some people think I cry because I'm sad But they're wrong, I' cry because I can All I take in is then pouring out my eyes Concrete tears in uncertain times Precious pearls for an uncertain man Go wherever you think you'll shine Go ahead, go away, leave me and my mood behind Was your hands, wash your face and heart Go away, wash me away, clean all up for a new start I feel my heart twist and turn But I feel it beat I let my skin sting and burn But I sense the heat All in a playful strife I take a deep breath then dive Go wherever you think you'll shine Go ahead, go away, leave me and my mood behind Was your hands, wash your face and heart Go away, wash me away, clean all up for a new start I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I feel my heart twist and turn But I feel it beat I let my skin sting and burn But I sense the heat All in a playful strife I take a deep breath then dive Some people think I cry because I'm sad But they're wrong, I'm more than fine Bitter sweet is my constant state of mind

Turn Of Life Speak without a tongue Sleep with open eyes All the world has stopped We're out of time I can't feel the ground But know that I won't fall Courage of a heart That gives it all So pure Insecure While everyone else around Seems to do just fine I don't wanna be emotional I'm holding back the tears May seem a little too devotional Caught up in the fear I don't wanna be emotional We break up then we laugh It's a peak It's a turn of life Hum a silent song Sounding like a sigh Found a piece of hope In his eyes I can't feel the ground But I'm standing tall Courage of a heart I'll give it all So alive Fragile While everyone else around Seems to do just fine I don't wanna be emotional I'm holding back the tears May seem a little too devotional Caught up in the fear I don't wanna be emotional We break up then we laugh It's a peak It's a turn of I don't wanna be emotional I'm holding back the tears May seem a little too devotional Caught up in the fear I don't wanna be emotional We break up then we laugh It's a peak It's a turn of life
Rescue Me I don't wanna go outside I'm in a kinda low tide I don't wanna mess around I don't wanna hear a sound I don't wanna run away Don't believe I'll find my way I'm just gonna hit a wall What's the meaning of it all I wanna fly, I want to feel the clouds I'd like to go to the moon I'd like to know the stars I'm feeling high, then low... Oh please don't let me fade Oh try and ease my pain I just need to see How you fight Would you give it all To rescue me Holding back and holding up I'm a big fish in a small cup I'm all right and then all wrong I don't know where I belong Holding in a silent rage I'm like a lion in a cage Don't know what I really need To give up or to succeed I wanna fly, I want to feel the clouds I'd like to go to the moon I'd like to know the stars I'm feeling high, then low... Oh please don't let me fade Oh try and ease my pain I just need to see How you fight Would you give it all To rescue me These are hard times I pull you down, forgive me These are hard times But I'll be back, believe me
Electric Street lights on the wall Waiting for the call You’re shooting round the city Just like a satellite Wonder where you are here Beneath the marble sky Oh you’re electric On the boulevard Oh you wreck it When you try too hard I’ll catch when you hit the sun I’ll pick up all your pieces pieces Hungry empty eyes Born on the wrong side People in the back row fighting For a glimpse of stars Faces in the front line Wished they didn’t wear the scars You shoot across the moon You break the world in two Oh you’re electric On the boulevard Oh you wreck it When you try too hard I’ll catch when you hit the sun I’ll pick up all your pieces pieces I’m an ocean I’m a sea You’re electricity You’re bound to break No give and take Oh you’re electric On the boulevard Oh you wreck it When you try too hard I’ll catch when you hit the sun I’ll pick up all your pieces pieces
Cruel World Stand on my head Heads on the floor Starring right at you It's all a mess when upside down Now I'm downside up Playing a role Filling a hole I could do better I will do better if you leave me out So get rid of me Rise and fall We tore down a wall at the time We fell from the start Then fell apart, why fight Oh you played it all wrong ha It's a cruel world Oh you played it all wrong ha It's a cruel world Talk in reverse What is it worth When nobody listens Sit here and rot Spill out my guts Into another verse Too hard to hold I'm a heavy load Thought you could save me Turns out you're lazy, now too lazy To get rid of me Rise and fall We had it all at the time We fell from the start Then fell apart, why fight Oh you played it all wrong ha It's a cruel world Oh you played it all wrong ha It's a cruel world You played it all wrong Oh you played it all wrong ha It's a cruel world Oh you played it all wrong ha It's a cruel world You played it all wrong Rivers Feeling easy When I have you around Like lazy Sundays, you unwind Hit the couch And we'll slow down time As we chase the villains From our minds Blinding flashes You're all around Burning ashes I know we're bound Floating higher We'll reach the roof We're closer to the truth Lonely lovers Now we suddenly make one Feel our body leave the ground Hit the moon from our room In time We will float On rivers in our minds Back down in time Blinding flashes You're all around Burning ashes I know we're bound Floating higher We'll reach the roof We're closer to the truth Blinding flashes You're all around Burning ashes I know we're bound Floating higher We'll reach the roof We're closer to the truth
Finalement la nuit (feat. Dominique A) Finalement la bête Aura le dernier mot Il est quand même étrange De se croire sauvé Finalement les hommes Font toujours ce qu'il faut Pour que meure l'été Finalement la douceur Désertera la peau Finalement le corps Plongera dans l'écran Finalement la poussière Gagnera le ruisseau Finalement le temps La nuit est partout La nuit est partout Finalement ton amour Ne me suffira pas Finalement j'irai confier À d'autres bras Tout l'or que je n'ai pas Su accepter de toi J'irai le gaspiller La nuit est partout La nuit est partout Finalement les regrets Ne seront pas de trop Finalement le jour Baissera le rideau Finalement les étoiles S'éteindront sous la pluie Finalement la nuit
The Razor's Edge A hollow life Two empty eyes My bet was high Though I know it's hard I'll try to fix this from isinde Now are you up for trying You lost your mind Stepped out of line We're breaking down Though I know it's hard, please try To speak what's on your mind Tonight Do you really wanna freeze me out Now we're out in the cold Does it help you to feel alive Adding fuel to the fire The sirens ring, the smoke's arising While I watch you dance On a razor's edge You lit me up Then burned me out I'm an empty cup Though you've done me wrong I'll try to save us from the tide Are you up for trying now Will I reach you tonight Do you really wanna freeze me out Now we've out in the cold Does it help you to feel alive Adding fuel to the fire The sirens ring, the smoke's arising While I watch ou dance On a razor's edge Do you really wanna freeze me out Now we've out in the cold Does it help you to feel alive Adding fuel to the fire The sirens ring, the smoke's arising While I watch ou dance On a razor's edge Get Even Heard you talking on the phone The other night Heard you whisper But it thundered clear and loud I got every word you said It hurt so bad You keep saying I am wrong That I misheard That I look for trouble That I twist your words Such a vicious thing to say Don't feed the pain And I'll try to get even Try to best I can Soon I'll come up With my master plan It's a tooth for a tooth It's an eye for an eye Now I look at you And all I see is red Spit out all the made up lies That I've been fed Quit the hammering in my head Shut up instead So you pulled the trigger Time to fire back Moving on 'cause I know you can't handle that You're so hypocritical Predictable And I'll try to get even Try to best I can Soon I'll come up With my master plan It's a tooth for a tooth It's an eye for an eye (An eye for an eye) And I'll try to get even Try to best I can Now you wish You'd been a better man It's a tooth for a tooth It's an eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth It's an eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth It's an eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth I'll try to get even Try to best I can Soon I'll come up With my master plan It's a tooth for a tooth And I'll try to get even Try to best I can Now you wish You'd been a better man It's a tooth for a tooth You'd been a better man It's a tooth for a tooth It's an eye for an eye The Fall See, I took a shot Healed or covered up the mess Once heard you've dug a track It's so easy to fall back There's a light where darkness ends But this tunnel bends Reach out for a hand Seek through dust and sand A miss then no return It's so easy to lose track Seems like I'll never learn Never skip my turn It's about time I stop the fall Face to the ground, I'll lose it all It's about time I stop the fall Hit the floor or bounce Go all in or turn around Wake me from my sleep Dry the tears off my cheek Once burned I called the fire Flames to lift me higher Seems like I'll never learn Never skip my turn It's about time I stop the fall Face to the ground, I'll lose it all It's about time I stop the fall Face to the ground, I'll lose it all It's about time I stop the fall Face to the ground, I'll lose it all It's about time I stop the fall Hit the floor or bounce Go all in or turn around 'Cause nothing's like it seems In my thoughts nor in my dreams Nothing's like it seems In my thoughts nor in my dreams Bed Sheets Cease shivering from the cold Grasp for the sand In our blanket folds Leaves are falling to the ground It's hard to believe They will come around Meanwhile we'll lie here Side by side and hide Hide underneath the bed sheets Deep in our dreams Playing on repeat Seeds are resting under snow Let's wait 'til they blossom up And grow Leave the window open wide A new sun will rise Sunlight glancing Through the leaves Hear a hopeful melody Sparrows rising in a swarm Bring back the colours and warmth Bring back the colours and hearts To life Static Cellophane A new beginning Is needeed to love again Let's try again and start over A new beginning Is needed to trust again Count down from ten And start over When the fire is out There's a buzz in the silence Spots is my eyesight too When I'm lying awake And the demons take over I hold on to what we knew Blaze a trail for light Strike out the whole scene And leave it out, shout Make it a bad dream For it's sticking to my skin Like static cellophane I only find comfort knowing That you feel the same A new beginning Is needed to trust again Count down from ten And start over (Start over) Once the fire is out We feed on its ashes You took my world with you When we're lying awake Afraid to turn over We learn that we're fragile too Blaze a trail for light Strike out the whole scene And leave it out, shout Make it a bad dream For it's sticking to my skin Like static cellophane I only find comfort knowing Blaze a trail for light Strike out the whole scene And leave it out, shout Make it a bad dream For it's sticking to my skin Like static cellophane And I only find comfort knowing That you feel the same

Ces Petits Riens ( Serge Gainsbourg Cover ) Mieux vaut n'penser à rien Que n'pas penser du tout Rien c'est déjà, rien c'est déjà beaucoup On se souvient de rien et puisqu'on oublie tout Rien c'est bien mieux, rien c'est bien mieux que tout Mieux vaut n'penser à rien que de penser à vous Ca n'me vaut rien, ça n'me vaut rien du tout Mais comme si de rien n'était je pense A tous ces petits riens qui me venaient de vous Si c'était trois fois rien, trois fois rien entre nous Evidemment ça ne fait pas beaucoup Ce sont ces petits riens que j'ai mis bout à bout Ces petits riens qui me venaient de vous Mieux vaut pleurer de rien que de rire de tout Pleurer pour un rien, c'est déjà beaucoup Mais vous, vous n'avez rien dans le coeur, et j'avoue Je vous envie, je vous en veux beaucoup Ce sont ces petits riens qui me venaient de vous Les voulez-vous, tenez, que voulez-vous Moi je ne veux pour rien au monde, plus rien de vous Pour être à vous, faut être à moitié fou
I Love You (Dionysos feat. Fredrika Stahl) I love you Like a chocolate cake Like the trains Like the sea See me loving you please I love you Like I love my plastic boat To fall on the sea See I'm your silly See I'm your sea See I'm your silly See I'm your sea I'm your silly girl But I love you Je chante la joie De mordre le fruit cueilli sur l'arbre Je chante l'élargissement de l'ultra présent Ce cadeau bleu Je chante la joie ludique de l'ouverture de ce présent Il est grand temps d'accélerer le ralentissement Prendre le temps du recul amusant Regarder, mieux voir Je travaille à l'élaboration de l'éternel printemps L'endroit et le temps où tout se fabrique L'endroit et le temps où tout est en mouvement I love you Like I love my plastic boat See I'm your silly See I'm your sea See I'm your silly See I'm your sea I'm your silly But I love you See I'm your silly See I'm your sea See I'm your silly See I'm your sea I'm your silly girl I love you Well, see I'm your silly See I'm your sea See I'm your silly I'm your sea See I'm your silly See I'm your sea I'm your silly girl I love you I love you
Never Can Say Goodbye ( Michael Jackson Cover / Live ) Never can say goodbye No no no, I Never can say goodbye Even though the pain and heartache Seems to follow me wherever I go Though I try and try to hide my feelings They always seem to show Then you try to say you're leaving me And I always have to say no Tell me why Is it so That I Never can say goodbye No no no, I Never can say goodbye Everytime I think I had enough I start heading for the door There's a very strange vibration That pierces me right to the core It says turn around you fool You know you love her more and more Tell me why Is it so Don't wanna let you go I never can say goodbye I never can say goodbye No, no, no, no, no, no I never can say goodbye I never can say goodbye No, no, no, no, no, no Never can say goodbye No no no, I Never can say goodbye I keep thinkin that our problems Soon are all gonna work out But there's that same unhappy feeling And there's that anguish, there's that doubt It's that same old did ya hang up Can't do with you or without Tell me why Is it so Don't wanna let you go I never can say goodbye I never can say goodbye No, no, no, no, no, no I never can say goodbye I never can say goodbye No, no, no, no, no, no...
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above world so high Like a diamond in the sky When the blazing sun is gone When he's nothing shines upon Then you show your little light And twinkle, twinkle, thought the night In the dark blue sky you keep And through my curtains you often peep For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky Then the traveller in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark He could not see which way to go If you did not twinkle so Don’t, I don’t know not what you are Twinkle twinkle little star Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above world so high Like a diamond in the sky Like a diamond, like a diamond Like a diamond, like a diamond Show your little light And twinkle, twinkle, thought the night Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are
Wicked Game (Chris Isaac Cover / Live) The world was on fire and no one could save me but you. It's strange what desire will make foolish people do. I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you. And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. No, I don't want to fall in love No, I don't want to fall in love With you What a wicked game you play to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you. What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you And I wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you
