FIRST LAST DANCE

 

 

ALL THE THINGS WE NEVER TALK ABOUT

It’s a new world record
still I am not impressed
it’s this chance of a lifetime
still I couldn’t care less
but let’s go find the place
where all luck runs out
let’s talk about
all the things we never talk about
let’s talk about
all the things we never talk about

It’s beyond belief
still I ’m unmoved
it’s the land of opportunities
still we think in grooves
but let’s go find the place
where all luck runs out
let’s talk about
all the things we never talk about
let’s talk about
all the things we never talk about

If there is a time and place for everything
I hope I’ll be around when we’re happening
let us find out where the rainbow ends
let us find our way back together, again

 

AWAY WITH IT

You don’t know
you just hope
they understand
and let you go
get away with it

You don’t move
you don’t try
they don’t complain
or tell you why
you get away with it
away with it

It serves no one
to let a broken heart go sore again
It serves no one
to let a broken heart go sore again

They have seen your better days
they still see you through the haze

You do have a clue
you do have an idea
why they let you win
and treat you with fear
you let them get away with it
away with it

 

BUT HER

You say: I’ll be there for her
in case she changes her mind
you say: I’ll be there for her
cause love has made you blind
you say you can’t see no other
but her

You say: I’ll be there for her
for as long as you have to
you say: I’ll be there for her
cause you don’t know what else to do
you say you’ll never love no other
but her

In this game
there is no law
in this game
yes can mean no
but there is a lot to win
if you dare to lose
take it on the chin
like you used to do
before

 

COLLIDE

When we collide, again
will there be more to say
that I haven’t already told you I am?

Though it hurts
Though it harms
It won’t make a noise in the world
it won’t leave a drop of blood on the ground

When we collide, again
too many wounding words will be said
can we still forgive and forget?

Though it hurts
Though it harms
It won’t make a noise in the world
it won’t leave a drop of blood on the ground

It would mean everything to me
though most people would not care
it would stop the earth from shaking
beneath my feet
to have you back here

 

EASY TO FOOL

Sometimes there is no return
take the hard way out and learn
am I easy to fool?

Sometimes it is just a mess
ask for more and you’ll have less
am I easy to fool?

You don’t have to talk to tell
you can hurt me
meaning well

You don’t have to get to give
you can please me
being negative

Sometimes there is no good excuse
even the best can lose
am I easy to fool?

Sometimes it all gets too tense
the world is out of common sense
am I easy to fool?

As long as we all agree
this is gonna last
we both sense some tension, dear
I really miss you
when you’re here

 

FOUR-LEAF CLOVER

A divining rod
a four-leaf clover
a good fortune stone
and plenty of luck
that is more or less
what I need right now

When your hope
is this little
is it still a hope?
And when all you have is a chance in a billion
is it close enough to call?

A shooting star
a sweet ladybird
a fairy bringing me
those magic words
that is more or less
what I need right now

When your hope
is this little
is it still a hope?
And when all you have is a chance in a billion
is it close enough to call?

…and someone special’s
arm around me
that is more or less
what I need right now

HUM

All this time feels like waste
I can not only cut and paste
what I’m missing, what is gone
in my heart
it can’t be done
it can not be done

I wish it all could fall into place
I can not only erase
what I’m feeling, what still runs
in my heart
it can’t be done
it can not be done

I say nanananana nanananana
but it doesn’t work humming it away
nanananana nanananana nananana
but I keep humming anyway

I step back a pace
feel that bitter taste

 

SOMETIMES IT IS

It is the world
she’s looking down on me again
she says I’m a fool
an unreliable friend
and that it takes a little more
to make a wish come true
she says it’s worth all the strain
sometimes it is so worth all the pain
sometimes it is

It is the world
she’s up above me again
she says I’m so small
so lost in dreamland
and that it takes a little more
to make a wish come true
but it is worth all the strain
sometimes it is so worth all the pain
sometimes it is

So worth all the strain
sometimes it is so worth all the pain
sometimes it is better plain than supreme
sometimes it is better as a dream
sometimes it is

 

TEN OUT OF TEN

You are walking down that alley again
soft and swaying, like feather
walking towards me once again
I can’t think of anyone better

Ten out of ten,
you are ten out of ten
when you are tender like this
ten out of ten
you are ten out of ten
you fill me with bliss

I can tell from far away
you feel fine, you’re almost flying
this is such a perfect day
and there is no denying

Ten out of ten
you are ten out of ten
when you are tender like this
ten out of ten
you are ten out of ten
you fill me with bliss

May some summerdays never end
just remain forever

 

THE SONG YOU LOVE

You, you don’t have to bow
you don’t have to crawl
you don’t have to swallow this at all
you don’t have to shine
you don’t have to glow
you don’t have to sparkle when I call

No, but play me the song you love
tell me what you’re dreaming of
tell me one more story
under the stars above
and when tomorrow comes
let’ s see where we’ve wound up

You, you don’t have to rush
you don’t have to prove
you don’t have to try to smooth things down
you don’t have to smile
you don’t have to lie
you don’t have to be happy all the time

If there is a way
for me to
make you stay
there must be so
many roads
for you to go
