I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder
What it would be like
To end it
All of this non-sense
Had its toll on me
How long until I give in
Close the door and be gone
Sounds quite appealing
What if all my faith
Was in vain
And I wonder
Will I ever be
And feel at peace
If I ever did
Could I forgive myself
For letting go
Only one way to know
Close the door and be gone
Sounds quite appealing
What if all my faith
Was in vain
And I wonder
Close the door and be gone
Close the door and be gone
Close the door and be gone
Close the door and be gone
Close the door and be gone
Close the door and be gone
But still I linger In this room
A little more
My ear on the wall
I can’t understand
What they’re saying
Close the door and be gone
Sounds quite appealing
What if all my faith
Was in vain
And I wonder

Somewhere

I don’t know if I should go or stay
Here with you
Is it alright not to know the way
I will be leaning to
I don’t ask for nothing more
Than a word or two when you’re feeling blue
So I can hang a smile on you
I won’t hold my breath no more
For a sign of life that may never come
I’m tired, so tired
Somewhere you are
Up in the atmosphere
Hear them say
Hey oh! Hey oh!
Won’t you come down?
You find it hard, tonight
When people only scream at you
You find it hard, tonight
When all you want is screaming too
You find it hard, tonight
I don’t know if I’m the one or just
Another one
Is it alright to wish you were someone else
Yet still yourself
I won’t hold you back no more
In hope you find what you’re looking for
I’m done counting the days you’re gone
I’m sick to wait for you and I
To become more than a storyline
I’m tired, so tired
Somewhere you are
Lost in the atmosphere
Hear them say
Hey oh! Hey oh!
Won’t you come down?
You find it hard, tonight
When people only scream at you
You find it hard, tonight
When all you want is screaming too
You find it hard, tonight
We’re running out of chemicals
To burn all those particles
We’re spinning round in circles
We’re running out of chemicals
To burn all those particles
We’re spinning round in circles
You find it hard, tonight
When people only scream at you
You find it hard, tonight
When all you want is screaming too
You find it hard, tonight

Stop

I know it’s never meant this way
You don’t need to apologize
Over and over again
For once, I wish that you would stay
Right here, we don’t need anything
But you don’t have time for me
I try so hard to be the bigger man
But you don’t stand a chance
If only, you could open your eyes
Maybe you would realize
There might be something left in mine
You will never care
So count me out next time you will be there
You will never care
So count me out next time you will be there
I try so hard to be the bigger man
I’ll give you one last chance
You try in vain to be a better man
I’ll give you one last dance
I try so hard to be the bigger man
But you don’t stand a chance
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stop

Vertigo
03:28
|

|
What is it you seek, outside tonight
Above the neon lights
Defying gravity in between the buildings, a silhouette
So pale, so frail
People down below
The tinier they get with every step you take
Hold on a little more
I will wait, both feet on the ground
No I won’t close my eyes this time
You give me vertigo
I’m walking up in the air
With a tight rope beneath my feet
I wanna turn my head to the sky
I’m on on the verge of letting go
Everything is fine, breathe in, breathe out,
Everything is fine
Focus on the sound of my voice don’t ever look down
Breathe in and then breathe out
Now you’re on your own
The heavier it gets to carry own the weight
Hold on a little more
I will wait, both feet on the ground
No I won’t close my eyes this time
You give me vertigo
I’m walking up in the air
With a tight rope beneath my feet
I wanna turn my head to the sky
I’m on on the verge of letting go
I’m sending out an S.O.S.
With a white flag above my head
I wanna say goodbye and leave this mess
I’m on the verge of letting go
Oh nothing, no nothing will be the same
Oh nothing, no nothing will be the same
Oh nothing, no nothing will be the same
I’m walking, I’m walking up
I’m on the verge of letting go
I’m walking up in the air
With a tight rope beneath my feet
I wanna turn my head to the sky
I’m on on the verge of letting go
You give me vertigo
I’m sending out an S.O.S.
With a white flag above my head
I wanna say goodbye and leave this mess
I’m on the verge of letting go

What Could Have Been
03:39

Life happened
You’re standing there
Trying not to think about
The million things you want to say
Somehow you know
You should get out
But your heart is screaming so loud
It took you by surprise
All you want is to reach for her hand
When you know you should be home instead
Days have passed
And now it’s months
It gets hard to say goodbye
When it’s just that easy
Even though
You can’t promise
Anything that you can’t give
You still want her near
All you want is to reach for her hand
When you know you should be home instead
You both know you must remain silent
Still in your head you’re reaching for her
Just kids
At least that's what we were
It seems so far away now
Just kids
Do you remember? Everything seemed easier
It all goes too fast, way too fast
It’s just so much to take
Now my guts tell me to run away, far away
Where would I go without you?
Just kids
Do you remember? Everything seemed easier
