Cold

Silence calls, calls her home
and we don’t know where to run.
You’re cold and you’re tired.

You lie awake, hardly alive;
Sleepless dreams, sleepless nights.
You’re cold, you’re cold and you’re tired.

Who will you harm tonight?
Hold me tighter.
How can you smile when the world is going to end?
Who will you harm tonight?

The city keeps you up at night.
Your heart will race, your mind will fight you.
You’re cold, still cold and so tired.

Who will you harm tonight?
Hold me tighter.
How can you smile when the world is going to end?
Who will you harm tonight?

You’re lost in a world you created yourself.
Now you can’t seem to find your way out.

Who will you harm tonight?
Hold me tighter.
How can you smile when the world is going to end?
Who will you harm tonight?

Dream Long Gone

This is a song I’ve been writing lately.

I guess it’s all over, there is nothing left to chase.
If you really love her, I’ve got no more time to waste.
How could I be so naive thinking this would end well?
I should have looked both ways before I tripped and fell.

So now I don’t know how,
But I, I’ve got to move on, pack my bags and go home.
And my, my hand in yours that’s a dream long gone
That’s a dream that’s lost.

Seeing you kiss her is like a dagger through the heart.
You might as well rip it out and tear it apart.
Now I feel stupid and foolish for believing in the happy ending.
Seeing you hold her reminds me that I’ve got to stop pretending.

So now I don’t know how,
But I, I’ve got to move on, pack my bags and go home.
And my, my hand in yours that’s a dream long gone
That’s a dream that’s lost.

It’s staring me right in the face,
I’ve got to get out of this miserable place.
I’ve been running away from home and
I can’t take, no, I can’t take anymore.

So now I’ve got to move on, pack my bags and go home.
And my, my hand in yours that’s a dream long gone
That’s a dream that’s lost.

Now I’ve got to move on, pack my bags and go home.
And my, my hand in yours that’s a dream long gone
It’s a dream that’s lost.

The Mirror

I don’t know where to begin,
Been feeling tired all morning.
I don’t understand what I feel,
Nothing is real anymore.

I can’t see clearly at all.
Everything’s blurry with fog.
I’m doing everything wrong,
I don’t belong anymore.

I stare at the mirror
and there stands a stranger.
I’ve never seen her in my life.
She’s faking my laughter.
Is that my disaster?
She’s got my face, but that’s not my smile.

Don’t people knock anymore?
I’m done with opening doors.
He doesn’t love me I’m sure.
None of it fits anymore.

I stare at the mirror
and there stands a stranger.
I’ve never seen her in my life.
She’s faking my laughter.
Is that my disaster?
She’s got my face, but that’s not my smile.

She’s hiding something
She’s hiding from me
I’m finding
It’s all in the past and I’m breaking the glass!

I stare at the mirror
and there stands a stranger.
I’ve never seen her in my life.
She’s faking my laughter.
Is that my disaster?
She’s got my face, but that’s not my smile.

Oh, Moon

This is a song I’ve written. I originally wrote it as a poem, but removed two of the verses and added a chorus when a melody popped into my head.

Oh, Moon
Will you shine your light on me
Moon oh, moon
as I walk beneath your eyes?
Moon oh, moon
Would you light my darkest dream?
Moon oh, moon
Will you watch the sun rise?

(chorus)
If it rains tonight
If the stars refuse to shine
Don’t be scared tonight
It doesn’t mean goodbye.
If it rains tonight
If the clouds collide
Don’t be scared, oh, moon don’t cry.

Moon oh, moon
will you sing the songs I write
Moon oh, moon
as you smile and hold my hand?
Moon oh, moon
Will you dance with me tonight?
Moon oh, moon
Do you understand?

Moon oh, moon
Has the summer gone to waste?
Moon oh, moon
will the winter be too cold?
Moon oh, moon
Is it nothing I have chased?
Moon oh, moon
Are you scared of growing old?

Moon oh, moon
would you hide behind the sun
Moon oh, moon
if I said my prayers out loud?
Moon oh, moon
Would you turn your back and run?
Moon oh, moon
Could I ever make you proud?

Moon oh, moon
Don’t fall or fade away.
Moon oh, moon
Don’t leave me here alone.
Moon oh, moon
If we go our separate ways
Moon oh, moon
Would you ever come back home?

Would You?

These are the lyrics to a song I wrote a little while ago. About being in love and all that

Would you ever take a chance on me?
Would you ever try to save me?
Would you ever kiss me in the rain?
Or would I make you feel ashamed?

Would you put your arms around my waist and pull me closer?
Would you whisper in my ear that I am beautiful?
Would you ever write a song for me or send me roses?
Would you hold me like you’ll never let me go?

Am I ever with you in your dreams?
Do you ever think about me?
Do you think of me like that at all?
Or should I think twice before I let myself fall?

Would you ever hold me when I scared?
Would you make me laugh when life’s unfair?
Would you grab my hand and dance with me
Even when there’s not even music playing?

Would you put your arms around my waist and pull me closer?
Would you whisper in my ear that I am beautiful?
Would you ever write a song for me or send me roses?
Would you hold me like you’ll never let me go?

Would you ever take a chance on me?

Dreamer

These are the lyrics to a song I wrote this summer. They are inspired by a place on the coast of Croatia. I might post the song later. Hope you like it

On a small wooden bench
In the middle of nowhere
With a view of the ocean
Salty water in my hair.
The trees are casting shadows
Across the winding, narrow road.
I’ve walked it just to get here
And it’s very, very old.

I close my eyes
I feel you sitting next to me.
I keep them closed
To keep you here.
I feel your hand
Surrounding mine
As a I fall a sleep
I’m falling deeper in love.

A hint of a smile
When you hum a melody.
A sweet soothing lullaby
It’s written just for me.
I don’t know if it’s possible
But I think I love you.
I make myself believe it.
I’m a dreamer, that’s what dreamers do.

I close my eyes.
I feel you sitting next to me.
I keep them closed
To keep you here.
I feel your hand
Surrounding mine
As I fall asleep
I fall deeper in love.

A gentle kiss, a single touch
Oh, darling, is that way too much to ask for?
You whisper love songs in my ear.
Oh, sweetheart, can’t you please stay here forever?
Forever!

I close my eyes
I feel you sitting next to me
I keep them closed
To keep you here.
I feel your hand
Surrounding mine
As I fall asleep
I fall deeper in love.

I close my eyes.
I feel you sitting next to me.
But when I wake,
You disappear.

23.08.09

I used to know which words to say
What song to sing, which chord to play.
Here I am and I can’t choose
Which way to go, what chance to take.

Look at people passing by
Do they succeed when they try?
Do their lives make total sense?
Or are they as confused as I?

Can I dream? Is that enough?
Can I ignore when things get tough?
Can I just smile and nod along?
Or will they call my stupid bluff?

Am I fooling anyone,
With the mask that I put on?
Or am I lying to myself?
Trying to become someone…
