We only exist
03:32
|
|||
|
We've been walking out of the town, searching for the trail.
In the garden of the house, we'll be born again
When leaves fall down from the sky over your hand
Before they touch the ground, we'll be there again
(* chorus)
In the garden, flowers in red, they're not going anywhere
Here is where you ought to stay. In this world, we only exist
In the garden, you don't need to dress. I'm not going anywhere
Here is where you ought to stay. In this world, we're only breathing
You're sleeping on the branches, high above my head
I'm afraid of you turning over in your bed
(repeat *)
Keep this secret in the ground, Keep this secret on the cloud
Keep this secret in the sand, Keep this secret when you breathe

How do you know?
03:28
|

|
Do you know how much you meant to me?
Now we are on different paths
You know my heart is empty
Stood in that room with memories past
In my mind I see your smile
The threat of time erodes you
My sighs exhale your love still
But I could never bare to tell you, no
(* chorus)
So let me think about you a little longer
What was once sweet is now so hard
What to say, to eat, I can’t decide
I wish that we could go back to the very start
Do you know what I’m writing about?
It's not Christmas or an anniversary
Do you know who I’m writing to?
Now I don’t lament over memories
In my mind I see your smile
I hope it never fades away, so bright and pure
It’s about time you should hear me
Despite the pain I can barely endure
(repeat *)

Bright and sunny day
03:48
|
|||
|
Early in the morning the world is still asleep
In your coffee goes a sugar heap
You think the sun still shines but all you see is grey
Nothing seems to change the way you feel today
(* chorus)
But when you thought you found a friend
Who believed all the things you said
It was a bright and sunny day
The sun will melt your cares away
Sometimes you feel like you're drowning in the sky
Wearing the same grey clothes and old tie
You're taking the train to work but can't find the door
Something feels strange in a way you've never had before
(repeat *)
Early in the morning the world is still asleep

Endless summer
02:45
|

I remember last summer
When we met on Sado island
Felt like I got a fever
As he touched the palm of my hand
Caught out in the rain
Under the tree we promised to meet again
When his mom took him away
I couldn't hear what he was saying
Got back to the city
My mind never stayed in one place
Things kept me busy
Soon our promises faded away
There's no one else
Who made me feel so secure
Why didn't I try
To stop you leaving once more?
Staring out of the window
I see dark clouds coming down
Wash away my sorrow
And hope it won't be found
The sun comes around
Though everything is yet to be defined
For the things we take
There's something we leave behind

Daydreaming
03:14
|
|||
|
Taking care of kids is my job
But they say they're taking care of me
They keep me busy, so I want to hide
In the basement floor until around 5 p.m.
Thinking of you and me going somewhere in the summer time
Driving back to my home playing Man on the moon
I think I can sing it soon
Stuck in a line for a train to pass by
My car is now playing a lullaby
And I'm dreaming of you and me going somewhere by private jet
(* chorus)
Sometimes I feel I'm lost
I'm trying to change my course
Something is stuck in my way
And somehow I can't carry on
Feeding cake to the cat during my lunch break
under the clear blue sky
On my desk I got work piled high
it doesn't take an hour to knock me out
(repeat *)
Lying on the couch trying to sort things out
In my life, I think I need a drink.
Watching a new video instead of going out
But I can't concentrate,
So I'm dreaming of raising my glass of wine
To you smiling back at me, then I'll be fine
I hear the alarm ringing every morning
It takes me back to my life

Not afraid
02:33
|
|||
|
I have a friend who is sitting next to me
I have a seed which will bloom in red one day
I have a tender breeze and shiny sun
And wonder why I'm still feeling glum
Of what am I afraid?
At night how should I overcome the darkness?
In the day how should I make a step forward?
I have a sweet scent, a blissful smile
But will it be the same tomorrow?
I know someday... they'll be gone far away
Even though everything fades away and never comes back
I'm still here to remember our laughter, its flourish
I'll still be singing about the momemnt they were here
and remember all the times we had with no worries
Holding them in my arms
I'll keep moving forward
|

Every time I crossed that line
You did the best imitation of someone
Now we're falling to the ground
Is this the way it should be done?
(* chorus)
We'd been together for the good times and the bad
However words never tell us the right way
Remember how I used to hold you in my arms
They were warm, all in vain
You built a fortress with no door
So that you would never be hurt
How many times must I try
Just to open up your heart?
(repeat *)
Tell me why should we fall apart this way?
Last call left message, is still there, too late
Now I'm a stone sinking down
Wondering if I want to be all alone
Without the touch of your skin
There'll never be another dawn
We've been together and got caught in a sad dream
However those times never tell us the right way
I know no longer I hold you in my arms
They were warm, all in vain

Someone to care about
02:59
|
|||
|
I miss the scent of you
Stuck at the office all day through
Hang up on the work phone call
The clock says it's time to roll
Watching the trees pass me by
Blur into one before my eyes
Going down the street to your home
Like cavalry in the hippodrome
Bluebirds bring the rainbow
Who said I'll never be a flamingo
I would fly away
Across the thousands of mountains in my way
(* riff)
Only one in your heart
Only care that you heard
Only one in the world
We'll never be apart
I’m knocking on your door
Catching my breath on the sixth floor
Can you see that I’m out of control?
Hit my face on the telephone pole
Your smile brings the rainbow
You can always rely on me, you know
I would fly away
Across the thousands of mountains in my way
(repeat *)
I'm knocking on your door
Oh I think I did this before
Hugging you tight I'm out of control
Then woke up to another call

Cradle song
04:12
|
|||
|
Here comes another day and another night
I was waiting for the moon to cathch the sun
The twilight starts to fade and I
Wish I could, too
The day you're gone seems like yesterday
And the space you left behind is getting away
The twilight starts to fade and I
Wish you would come back home now
(* pre-chorus)
I'm trying to remember my cradle song
In my dreams I can see your face again
I can see you're hurting but I can set you free
I don't want to let it go
(** chorus)
All the things that we've been through
All the flowers that we would grow
There would be nothing wrong with what we've done
Just keep the way, just keep the way you are
I called you up again the other day
And you brush me off and say that you are okay
I try to believe you I really do
But it's so hard
The feelings that you feel you're not alone
And I know that you don't feel quite at home
But trust in me I'll steer you down
This crazy road we're on
(repeat * **)
Thousands of times, the fall has passed
Feeling like the falling leaves
Nothing compares to your embrace
Have a heart, now tell me where you are

Grateful words
04:47
|
|||
|
We used to know well when we were children
Something we lost in adolescence
All we had was endless daydreams
And it was enough to hang around by the park all day
I won't be afraid of loneliness, my friend
Because TV, movies, a lot of magazines
They say, "Everything must end, so you've got to forget"
But they are mere consolation and they don't compare
(* pre-chorus)
We were walking all day long
Feeling sad, Sunday noon
You don't say any words?
I'll never bother you
All I want to say is you never let me down, no!
(** chorus)
The day has really come
Now I see your face
Inside of the van
I'm sure I won't cry
I'm trying to understand
That you will move today
No one will bring you down
So carry on!
It's been so long do you still remember?
Those days we had in adolescence
It's getting foggy but I'll never forget
Really hope I can see you again some day
I'm still living with my loneliness
It got number but didn't get easier
We said we'd meet up in the future and we'd never forget
The day hasn't come yet but I hope it will
(repeat * **)
I wished it'd never change
The day would never come
But you are going away
Leaving me here
I'm stuck in the dream
Where you were next to me
But I will move on too
With your sweetest smile
So carry on!
