A long way from anywhere
two tired eyes, one silhoutte
words on a screen, not ready yet
sad little lie, an empty threat
one shattered dream, hard to forget
every footstep, every heartbeat, every sigh,every breath of air,
and you know that, even halfway, your a long way from anywhere
every footstep, every heartbeat, every sigh, every breath of air,
even halfway, your a long way from anywhere
no long goodbyes, only regrets
don’t make a scene, don’t be upset
bright city lights, hearts in distress
chasing a dream, hard to forget
every footstep, every heartbeat, every sigh, every breath of air,
and you know that, even halfway, your a long way from anywhere
every footstep, every heartbeat, every sigh, every breath of air,
even halfway, your a long way from anywhere
one perfect rhyme, one winning bet
one guarantee, is all you get
this is your life, this is your time
to break the line, and don’t look back
every footstep, every heartbeat, every sigh,every breath of air,
even halfway you’re a long way from anywhere
every footstep, every heartbeat, every sigh,every breath of air,
and you know that, even halfway, your a long way from anywhere
every footstep, every heartbeat, every sigh, every breath of air,
even halfway, your a long way from anywhere
Will you be gone all summer?
I’m all alone in this town
it’s not the same here anymore
and when the lights go out at night I sit at home
I try your number one more time
another day is gone
and I want you to know
I don’t care if everyday is sunshine
and I don’t care if all I get is rain
I need to know will you be gone all summer?
‘cause I don’t wanna play the waiting game
I walk along the city streets
and try to make up things to do
but I’ve got you stuck on my mind
and I don’t know how to get through to you
I don’t care if everyday is sunshine
and I don’t care if all I get is rain
I need to know will you be gone all summer?
‘cause I don’t wanna play the waiting game
I don’t wanna play the waiting game
I don’t care if all I get is rain
I want you to know
I don’t care if everyday is sunshine
and I don’t care if all I get is rain
I need to know will you be gone all summer?
’cause I don’t wanna play the waiting game
I don’t wanna play the waiting game
I don’t care if all I get is rain
Suburban street
tuesday night
closing time is getting closer
as we’re talking
you and me
are so alike one step behind
chasing rainbows but
maybe tonight
It’ll all be alright
or tomorrow we will meet
on the same suburban street
you say that
time is never really on our side
there´s nothing waiting for us
but I, I think every roads a possibility
lets take our chances
maybe tonight
It’ll all be alright
or tomorrow we will meet
on the same suburban street
maybe tonight
It’ll all be alright
or tomorrow we will meet
on the same suburban street
on the same suburban street

if your love is true
he better be good to you
‘cause if he lets you down
I better not be around
what can I do, what can I say
don’t want you to make a big mistake

The apartment the cat & the dress
home again,
the apartment, the cat and the dress like I left them
you’re asleep,
a shadow falls on your back, it’s me
did anything happen while I was gone?
is everything alright?
can we just pick up where we left,
early tomorrow?
I am cold,
the umbrella, the shoes and the bag, by the door
half asleep,
you’re moving slowly across the kitchen floor, to me
did anything happen while I was gone?
is everything alright?
can we just pick up where we left,
early tomorrow?
I know it’s all for the best,
’cause I’m too tired to talk
I am staring at the clock
and the sun is coming up
it’s been a long busy week
and I should get some sleep
just wanna lay down for a while
be still and feel your heartbeat
did anything happen while I was gone?
is everything alright?
can we just pick up where we left,
early tomorrow?
I know it’s all for the best,
so don’t you worry,
let’s just pick up where we left,
’cause I’m to tired to talk
Good morning accidents
I’m not at all myself today
I am the misty morning haze
I think it’s all because of you
the world has got a shade of blue
good morning crowded trains
and people running late
good morning vanity and rain
good morning accidents
and broken hearts and pain
who’s gonna save my world today?
I used to be invincible
without you I’m nothing at all
now I don’t know what I can do
the world has got a shade of blue
good morning crowded trains
and people running late
good morning vanity and rain
good morning accidents
and broken hearts and pain
who’s gonna save my world today?
will you? will you? will you? will you?
I put my trust in you.
good morning crowded trains
and people running late
good morning vanity and rain
good morning accidents
and broken hearts and pain
who’s gonna save my world today?
who’s gonna save my world today?
Paper moon
paper moon
let your tiny light be my guide
and the waves will open my eyes
so I can find you
and a heart bereft of a breeze
no whispers of quieting trees
it’s just silent now.
it’s a paper moon
fading out of view
it’s a paper moon
and I miss you
it’s a paper moon
in the shadow’s truth
it’s a paper moon
and I miss you
I miss you
paper moon.
seen reflected on to the lake
where my little hand you did take
and you kissed me
and our dreams got washed to the shore
and we saw no light anymore
we were drifting
it’s a paper moon
fading out of view
it’s a paper moon
and I miss you
it’s a paper moon
in the shadow’s truth
it’s a paper moon
and I miss you
I miss you
Sitting at home
10 p.m., I’m sitting at home, watching TV in my room
it is late, a soft summer rain catch my window,
daylight is gone
and I think about you, I think about you
my friends say there’s something strange about you
what if they knew,
I could tell just by one look in your eyes,
your heart is true
that’s why I stand up for you, that’s why I stand up for you
and I think about you, think about you
you and me, are not from the same part of town
but I don’t care about that
in this world where people don’t get along
you’re a friend
and I care about you, I care about you
and I think about you, think about you
My naked heart
before you go, there’s something you should know
will you let me have a moment of your time?
I’m not like you, I’ve never hugged a tree,
and I wouldn’t starve even for a week
it’s my naked heart talking to you
it’s my naked heart talking to you
before you go, there’s something you should know,
that I never told anybody else
I never read financial magazines
and I never cared for politics at all
it’s my naked heart talking to you
it’s my naked heart talking to you
before you go, before you close the door
there is something that needs to be said
you think I’m kind and generous at heart
but I never lend money to my friends
it’s my naked heart talking to you
it’s my naked heart talking to, talking to you
One way conversation
some people I know
are people like you
telling the same old story
I’ve heard it before
so many times
is there no end to it?
it’s a one way conversation
and I don’t wanna listen
anymore
some people I know
are always right
it’s like they know what’s comming
and others they talk
go on like you
without the slightest clue
it’s a one way conversation
and I don’t wanna listen
anymore
it’s a one way conversation
and I don’t wanna listen
anymore
there is no communication here
our connection will remain unclear
you keep talking likt I wanna hear
you keep talking talking in my ear
some people I know
are people like me
they like to think before they speak
they stick to the point
know when to stop
but you’re not one of them
it’s a one way conversation
and I don’t wanna listen
anymore
it’s a one way conversation
and I don’t wanna listen
anymore
not anymore
Before you fell in love with her
I remember who you were
before you fell in love with her
the rehearsing with the band
writing songs and making plans
what happened to your curls,
and your old Ramones t-shirt?
what happened to our oath,
you and me against the world?
don’t know what you see in her
do you really love that girl?
don’t you miss the blistered hands,
the songs, the tours, the broken van?
what happened to your dreams,
and your torn and faded jeans?
what happened to your curls,
you and me against the world?
what happened to your life,
were you too afraid to try?
what happened to your shirt,
and you and me against the world?
yeah, I remember who you were,
before you fell in love with her
do you really love that girl?
I don’t know what you see in her
You don’t think I know
minutes move too slow
hours passes by
you don’t think I know
halfheartedly you try
holding off good bye
buying some more time
I don’t want you to try
I know this is good bye
outside a cold wind blow
songs of heartache play
on the radio
seasons come and go
days turn into night
don’t you think I know
I know we’ve lost our way
we can’t bring back those days
I don’t want you to try
I know this is good bye
good bye
minutes move too slow
hours passes by
you don’t think I know
