Without giving anything away I can say it's by the sea It's a house that used to be The home of a friend of mine Without giving anything away You'll find ships inside of bottles When the garden's overgrown The house is white, but the paint is coming off I di...

I lose some sales And my boss won't be happy But i can't stop listening to the sound Of two soft voices blended in perfection From the reels of this record that i found Every day there's a boy in the mirror Asking me What are you doing here Finding more that...

You called me after midnight, must have been three years since we last spoke. I slowly tried to bring back, the image of your face from the memories so old. I tried so hard to follow, but didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong, said "I don't know what I...

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you So why don't we just move into the other room There's space for us to shake and hey, I like this tune Even if I could hear what you said I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear Because I haven't...

All I do is sleep all day, and think of you. A memory of the cushion life I'm clinging to. The image of a mutual one, our haven. The sombre chords of our song, the fading. Love is no big truth, driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings. A symphony tha...

You quiver like a candle on fire, I'm putting you out, Maybe tonight we could be the last shout, 'Cause I'm fascinated by your style, Your beauty will last for a while. You're feeling instead of being. The more that I live on the inside, Nothing to give...

What's the immaterial substance That envelopes two That one percieves as hunger And the other as food I wake in tangeled covers To a sash of snow, You dream in a cartoon garden I could never know Innocent imitation of how it would be If one the music entered,...

I see you changing girl From Day to Day Impressed by and trying to imitate Those who are older Those who are colder Suddenly embarrassed by your age Our bigger blessing, girl Is being young The power of not knowing Where you belong I try so hard to keep it N...

I'm letting go To see if you'll hold on to me I'm in doubt Of what is thought and what is real In our room Between the shapes I thought I knew A guillotine A pillow with feathers like snow I've come To a listening post beyond your lines I'm all ears To gathe...

We take what's dead And breathe life in And move like knives Through scars on land Still untouched No stain of hands Caramelized In a tilted light No chain stays unbroken All aims get forgotten The weight of lead On floors of sand The idea reduced again To...

He won't touch you anymore, Staying at his side. Half indifferent, half afraid, It will only make you cry. What is given can't be returned. The cards are in our hands. All that is living can be hurt, And that's the end of innocence. Second round found you be...

Things seem so much better when They're not part of your close surroundings Like words in a letter sent Amplified by the distance Possibilities and sweeter dreams Sights and sounds calling form far away Calling from far away I didn't know you then, now did I...

In the sky the birds are pulling rain, in your life a curse has got a name, makes you lie awake all through the night that's why. She's intoxicated by herself, everyday she's seen with someone else, and every night she kisses someone new never you. You're wait...

It’s hard to stay, it’s hard to look into your eyes, When I say I’m leaving. I can’t be sure, but I think I’ve made up my mind, Although your heart is bleeding. I wish the only one I had to be was me, For you to see it as clearly. I wish the only thing I had t...
