Changes on the horizon Moving me to find them So I… I’ll make it The moment is defining The strategy’s decided Over time this pace will slow me down Give me time to learn the ins and outs Changes on the horizon Moving me to find them So I… I’ll make it The moment is defining The strategy’s decided Over time I start to wonder Should I dive Would I be pulled under? Give me time to learn the ins and outs

So much for some good advice We drop out on the first try We flee before we even fight “It’s just a phase” is just a phrase used back in my old days to tell me to sit back and wait But we will get to roll again We will do what it takes All that needs a long debate I don’t need to know Here’s to another try To move on to a different start Ready for the rise Ready for the second part Hardly playing safe We’re drifting on a higher wave To another try If a challenge comes to mind I will give a sign So much for a bit of truth The proof that might offend you Conclusions we’ll be reaching soon It’s easier to say than do To stop you than to guide you ‘Cause who knows what we’re heading to But we will get to roll again We will do what it takes All that needs a long debate I don’t need to know Here’s to another try To move on to a different start Ready for the rise Ready for the second part Hardly playing safe We’re drifting on a higher wave To another try If a challenge comes to mind I will give a sign We will get to roll again All that’s hardly worth the wait says it’s time to go For another try

You're braced and undercover Prepared to give it all The focus on the finish Not on the curtain call You run to win them over You’ll win to prove them wrong There was a time to settle But now the game is on What a perfect day For turning up to disobey To slowly change the course of time Shape your self-esteem It only takes one girl to be The first to ever cross that line If you can play it out They’ll get it right All eyes on every movement As you avert the fight Unaware this moment Will stand the test of time You chose not to confide in The ones that think you’re done They better keep their statements Before the bet is won What a perfect day For turning up to disobey To slowly change the course of time Shape your self-esteem It only takes one girl to be The first to ever cross that line If you can play it out They’ll get it right Racing for the word to get out Where it's never gonna die

You chose me to climb The greatest of heights But I can cope If bravery feels fake And courage comes late I still got hope Your hand struck a chord That triggered the words That eased my heart I’ll take every blow As if i don’t know That ain’t too smart We can set the rules Set them alight The whitest of lies Get dirty in time When they’re shout out loud It’s hard to persuade The power that hates The slightest doubt But wait until when We break their defence And take off for good ‘Cause once in a while We need to be fired up by something new We can set the rules Set them alight Don’t hold onto fame It waxes and wanes ‘Til it fades away The fear of decline Stopped me to deny What it’s all about We could set the rules…
5.
If my longings disappear there’s no reason to be here The road is long They keep me going on With my dreams under attack And my troubles shooting back I’m far from left behind With you still in my sights You can set my soul on fire Control what’s on my mind I’m yours to tease To bring me to my knees We cannot choose what we desire We don’t know what is required Or when it goes away Impossible, you say?

ell me
How many times Can we start again
How many twisted turns To lose a friend I know it's taken long For me to change my tune You’ve said that it's too late But it's still too soon I play like broken records do
Le coeur a trente-trois tours
The songs keep skipping back to you En tout et partout You fell for it I fell for you Mon coeur craquera toujours I brushed you off That scratched it too En tout et partout You can fall too hard I’d fall to pieces now If our shattered hopes Cut you somehow You skip the part where I care What love has done to you Since I don’t go there
Why am I hearing it too? I play like broken records do
Le coeur a trente-trois tours
The songs keep skipping back to you En tout et partout On s'entendait à en devenir sourds
Hearts break when they can’t break through On s'entendait Je t’entends toujours En tout et partout And maybe I’ve been blind But seeing others Takes a little time When they can see right through you Maybe I’ve been weak But all my memories of you don’t shine They speak to me En tout T’es partout

Waking up the dream Pushing figures to extremes We are kicking out the symmetries Completing their defeat The light is never low Still the colours lose their glow And it strikes me now how black and white Can touch me to the bone These portraits take control Of the people they behold And you never know who’s puzzling you The master or the muse We’re constantly naive Still endeavouring to mean something Spocking fivers, doodling fun Running down but tempted to go on These paintings never dry These sounds will never die out They will always be around The essence of a dream Lives forever underneath these Pieces of a broken man Making on the mend If beauty hides in grief it will show when there’s relief But it disappears step by step With every tear you shed You never took the time To close your focused eyes But then inspiration compensates When concentration dies This canvas is a trap You don’t see what you get But apologies’ efficiency Will never beat these bittersweet regrets Do you wanna know what it’s like To leave your town, settle down? What if I haven’t said the words that apply For a better line What if i never tried Claiming back impressions that are mine? These paintings never dry These sounds will never die out You will always be around

When the morning comes I open up the blinds And the sunlight hurts my eyes I’m skipping school, instead I need to park This spaceship in my yard It takes a rocket ride to leave this town And live between the stars It takes a thousand years to reach this goal of mine But ten seconds to count down The day has come to fire the rocket up The ignition hurts my eyes The massive smoke transforms the many clouds Then i’m higher than the sky It takes a rocket ride to leave this town And live between the stars It takes a thousand years to reach this goal of mine But ten seconds to count down My friends say i’m dreamer and a clown But that won’t slow me down Now tuck me in and get me on a flight To another place and time
10.
You‘re too tired The fighting took long And everyone knows That nobody won The rules have changed Along the way You took a step Without looking back But knowing too well How it’s going to end You’ve reached the point You can’t pretend All options compared And claims verified You’re well-documented When questions arise You tend to read Between the lines The answer’s lost A problem’s unsolved A man goes down When fences go up The focus is gone Though you’ve tried The jokes you cracked The laughter we had Though it couldn’t last The last one came fast I don’t judge your trials As if i was around You don’t see The wood for the trees It’s easy to learn But hard to believe Believe when you’re far I will come around I will come around It hurts to part When something precious is near I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna go
