Only You

Looking from a window above
it's like a story of love
... can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
We´re moving further away
Want you near me

Sometimes when I think of his name
when it's only a game
and I need you
Listen to the words that you say
it's getting harder to stay
when I see you

This is going to take a long time
and I wonder what's mine
can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
... it's just the touch of your hand
behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
and all I ever knew
only you

Checkmarks

So there you are, and here I stand,
as far as I remember you weren't half bad
Your bedroom behavior was never more
then checkmarks on bedposts.
For I remember we never had.

So don't explain cause I know exactly what your going to say.
Big words, recycled phrases, and the bittersweet taste 
of other girls on your lips.
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.

You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows.

Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face
on a stage in a crowded room?
Well it's not the same.
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.
Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd,
I hope you're out there, look at me now.
Well it's not the same.
Just look at how we've changed.

So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
and don't forget to take deep breaths.

Empty Inside

I can't show pain 
Long for the days,
when I am free to feel

Don't want to lose everything
just want to feel again
My heart would burst for you
if that would make things right

I don't feel anything
Outside the pain you bring
starting over doesn't look so bad this time

I am not empty inside
though I long to make this right
Emotions still touch me
still I can't feel a thing
Like ghosts they melt into the fog
and leave me cold

Only shadows and impressions
are left for me to hold
My heart would burst for you
if that would make you whole

- All That Remains

It's My Life

It's funny how I find myself 
in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose 
One half won't do 

I've asked myself
How much do you 
Commit yourself? 

Funny how I blind myself 
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

Oh, I'd tell myself 
what good do you do? 
Convince myself 

It's my life 
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends (It never ends)


- No Doubt

Apathy

Surprised to hear your voice
coming through my telephone
The last time that we talked
was about two years ago.

You know I’m afraid to ask
but I wonder why you called
Do I know the reason why?
Do I still know you at all? yeah...

Don’t take me back to the place where
we felt alone when we're together
Just grip the time when we were sinking
when we were nothing but a state of apathy.

You’re asking me to think
about the love that we had
But there was not enough
for me to go back again

And I can't say it it hurt
when you left me that way
Nothing else you can do
And there’s nothing you can say

Let me go...

Breathing

Eyes are feeling heavy
But they never seem to close
The fan blades on the ceiling spin
But the air is never cold
And even though you're next to me
I still feel so alone
I just can't give you anything
For you to call your own

Something I've been keeping
Locked away behind my lips
I can feel it breaking free
With each and every kiss
I couldn't bear to hurt you
But it's all so different now
Things that I was sure of 
They have filled me up with doubt

How am I supposed to feel
about the things I've done?
I don't know if I should stay
or turn around and run
I know that I hurt you
Things will never be the same
The only love I ever knew
I threw it all away

And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight

And I can feel you breathing
And its keeping me awake
Could you stop my heart?
It's always beating...
... sinking like a weight

Why Do You Love Me?

I'm no Barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things
And I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word? 
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud

You're not some little boy
Why you acting so surprised? 
You're sick of all the rules?
Well I'm sick of all your lies
Now I've held back a wealth of shit, I think I'm gonna choke
I'm standing in the shadows with the words stuck in my throat
Does it really come as a surprise when I tell you I don't feel good? 
Nothing ever came from nothing man
Oh man ain't that the truth?

I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine
I have no proof but I think that I'm right
And you've still got the most beautiful face
It just makes me sad most of the time

I get back up and I do it again 
I get back up and I do it again 
I get back up and I do it again 
I get back up and I do it, do it again 

Why do you love me? 
Why do you love me? 
Why do you love me? 
It's driving me crazy

Hon Är Redan Här

Morgondiset har skingrats och dagen är här
I luften vilar en spänning och ett begär
Du har sagt att idag ska du slåss för din sak
Jag tittar ut över nejden du kommer nog snart
Trodde du att hon var någon man väljer sig
Trodde du att jag var någon som skräms av dig

Jag kunde sagt nå’t men fann ingen stolthet i det
Och det ligger nått vacker i att ingen vet
När du slog dig för bröstet och sa hon var din
Var du redan förlorad och segern var min
Trodde du att hon var någon du kunde ta
Trodde du att du var någon som hon ville ha

En öppen hand kan få och ge
Kan visa allt och lite mer
I samma stund du knöt din hand
Rann allt det vackra ut som sand

Hon är redan här, ligger tätt intill, för hon kan och hon vill
Hon var redan min långt innan du förstod
Utan kamp och blod kom hon hit

Trick Me

Said I've paid my dues for all that I've done
And I've showed you that I loved you more than once
There's nothing left there to decide
Said you might trick me once
I won't let you trick me twice
Freedom to us has always been a trick
Freedom to you has always been whoever landed on your dick
Seen it in you one too many times
Said you might trick me once
I won't let you trick me twice, no

Those days are old and overdone
And it's only 'cause I'm not with you that you make me number one
Though I may love you
It hurts me deep inside, yeah
Now you no longer have to hide

I used to be down with the late night hit
Started gettin' heavy when I really wasn't ready
Used my past to get my mind
So I fell for your lies like all the time
I thought you were the shit to be playin' around
Call the police there's a mack on town
Couldn't get even here without a sound
It's not how I wanna get down, yeah

Don't Disappoint Me

Don't push your luck too hard  
Never hurt my heart  
Don't disappoint me  
(if you love me ) 

You turn the other way  
don't you hear me say  
If you love me,  
don't disappoint me  

You say you think of me  
how can I be sure? 
If you love me  
(do you love me?)

You're gonna say goodbye  
Baby tell me why  
You disappoint me  
Though you love me  
(say you love me)

In this world  
where nothing seems to be okay  
Don't ever turn your back to me  
and go away  
(don't disappoint me) 

Don't make me sad  

(Please don't say goodbye  
Stay one more night  
And make it allright )

Don't disappoint me

One Man's Woman

You know that I love you, my love made me your fool
The way down deep inside, I know you never will be true
But I'll keep holdin' on for love just as long as I can

Sometimes I have a notion to get revenge but then
Since I'm in love who cares about the place I've never been
When temptation smiled at me into your arms I ran

But I can't let that change me into somethin' I can't stand
I give you all the love I have but your love is out of hand
I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man.

- Loretta Lynn

Hahn's Point

I read somewhere that every wall is 
a door to something new
Well, if that's true - why can't I get through?

'Cause I'm not who I thought I was
And I can't explain

I could walk around -
fall in love with a face or two
But it wouldn't be you -
no, it wouldn't be you

'Cause you're not who I thought you were

But it feels like I'm falling through a hole in my heart
Falling through a hole in my heart.
Don't try to reach for nothing at all.

I can't, I can't explain.

Almost Happy

If I could look beyond your face
and photograph your hidden place
would I find you smiling in the picture?

I don’t know what you want
because you don’t know
so what’s the point of asking?

Far too many ways to go
We learn so much but never know
where to look
or when we should stop looking

I can love the whole of you.
The poetry I stole from you
And hide inside my stomach

It’s easy to get lost in you
And fall asleep inside of you
I want to return to you
A reason to be here
A reason to be here

No, I don’t know what you want
As you don’t know
So what’s the point of asking

You’re almost happy
You’re almost content
But your head hurts

Now or Never

Hey there baby make up your mind
'Cause I've been waiting such a long, long time

I'm gonna call you once more on the telephone
I'll give you till twelve then I'll be gone

Now baby or never 'cause I been so good to you
Now baby or never I've been so lonesome, too
Now baby or never if I mean anything to you
Now baby or never 'cause I've wasted so much time
Now baby or never and you must make up your mind
Now baby or never it ain't no fault of mine

It's got to be yes or no
It's either you stay or go
You can't leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It's either you will, or you won't fall in love with me

- Lisa Ekdahl

I'm Yours

Well, you done me and you bet I felt it 
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted 
I fell right through the cracks, and I'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

Well open up your mind and see like me 
open up your plans and damn you're free 
look into your heart and you'll find love love love 
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me 
Ah, la peaceful melody 
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved 

So, I won't hesitate no more, 
no more, it cannot wait I'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, I'm yours 

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more 
it cannot wait, I'm sure 
(there's no need to complicate 
our time is short 
it cannot wait, i'm yours 
no please don't complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, im yours.
no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me 
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
Open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me 
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me 
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...
