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?

The First Try
03:43

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

Sky High
04:07
|
|
||
You’ve only to say good night
Then all these dreams will be yours
Can I turn out the light
And hum your favourite "wee small hours"
The blinds hide an open view
On a city that feels renewed
And I count my age by days 'cause that way
Years go by slower
It felt good to go astray
To find this surprising place
And nothing can soothe me more than to know
Nothing is over
Sky high
Hundreds of storeys
Into the clouds

A New Breeze
04:16
|
|
||
I can feel a new breeze
That will ease our minds
It's a different heartbeat
And the timing feels right
Gonna feed this hunger
Gonna quench my thirst
Though I know indulgence
It could make it much worse
We have talked it over
Cause the prize ain't small
But it will be worth it after all
We can cross the ocean
Take it day by day
We can stop our watches
And we'll never be late
We can have a daughter
We can have a son
We don't know tomorrow
But we'll do what seems right after all

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

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

Leave a Light On
03:44
|
|

Sure i can leave a light on
Let it shine on
Leave it till dawn
Sure i can leave a light on
Leave a light on for you
It takes two to find a way out
There is no doubt
I will be around
If you have lost the right track
Then I’ll lead you right back
Don't search to find
Don't smile just to be nice
Don't run just to get there on time
Be amazed
Simply blown away
Live on without
Getting off your cloud
Sure i can leave a light on
Leave a light on for you
Sure i can play a quiet song
I could just hum
Beat a soft drum
Sure i can play a quiet song
Play a quiet song for you
It takes you to make my heart sing
To let air in
And keep breathing
It takes two to keep the vibe true
I am waiting for you
It struck me again
We both look the same
But what you make
Appears in all shapes
I should impress
But nevertheless
I cannot change
Night into a day
So sure i can leave a light on
Leave a light on for you

Tout et Partout
07:10

|

Tell 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

(How It's Going to) End
04:55
|
|

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
|

If you stay then I can’t go
I don’t like Novocaine
I want to be afraid someday
To face the crowd with open eyes
To take my chances on the fly
The house you’re building on the shore
Is beautiful but insecure
Still if you feel at home then know
If you stay then I can’t go
I don’t like Novocaine
I don’t want to quash the pain
to start a game and play it safe
and win it with a sense of shame
The house you’re building on the rocks
Is beautiful but tends to fall
Still if you feel at home just know
If you stay then I can’t go

Evenings
08:16
|
|

You have had it
Early mornings on repeat
Every step tied to the beat
Not to worry
You are proud but hardly vain
They are close but not the same
Let's do what we talked about
We'll take the first way out
Why sitting on the fence
This plan makes perfect sense
There's no dead end
Not a single barricade
No disturbance in our way
I am sorry
If i put you to the test
If i left too much unsaid
So many evenings
They have saved the day
So many evenings
Have saved the day
