Stay on my Side
lay with me come stay with me a while
let your beauty sooth into my eyes
I’m holding you as tightly as I can
as you’re holding my heart safely in your hand
I’m feeling like
just feeling like I need to (hold you now)
almost like I’ve never been without you (by my side)
like the trees we’ll die
but as long as there is still time
please stay on my side
(I won’t be alone this time, neither will you)
if I am still and silent as a stone
oh please don’t fear
don’t fear that something’s wrong
I just have a lot of feelings inside
and my words don’t have as much meaning
so I don’t even try
I’m feeling like
just feeling like I need to (hold you now)
almost like I’ve never been without you (by my side)
like the leaves we’ll die
but as long as there is still time
please stay on my side
stay on my side when nobody else understands
I’m leaving everything behind
so we can grow
I’m feeling like
just really like I need to (hold you now)
almost like I’ve never been without you (by my side)
like the leaves we’ll die
but as long as there is still time
I need to…
I need you to stay on my side
The Beat
As you kept the bird moving
on the moon where its wings are not enough
I watched as you lingered
but we all waited for the angels to come
I never really knew how much it could hurt
what does it mean when you say that you’re leaving for good?
I still believe that you are here
but I’m sure that no one would agree
sometimes I can hear you speak
(and I know) I’m not ready to let you go
as you got worse and we were growing
we never knew when you’d go
nothing at all…
and when you fell to the floor
the angels saved you forever more
I never really knew how much it could hurt
what doe they mean that you’re gone ?
I still believe that you are here
but I’m sure that no one would agree
sometimes I can hear you speak
(and I know) I’m not ready to let you go
I still believe that you are here
but I’m sure that no one would agree
sometimes I can hear you speak: I’m always near
I still believe that you are here
but I’m sure that no one would agree
sometimes you are that I see
(but I know) I’m not ready to let you go
One step at a Time
when I was a child
all my thoughts up in the sky
waiting for the world to see who I was
little did I know
’cause soon I’d fail with every step
faltering ’til I collapsed and so did you
I don’t what say now
I never meant to break
I never meant to break your heart in two
I know what I am now
simple or complicated
doesn’t really matter
I’m here for you
writing on the walls
remind myself not to give in
never again, never again
everyone must crawl
before they soar up in the sky
always the same
always the same
when you hold me I feel I’m whole again
I couldn’t just start over
if I lost you from my arms again
(because you’re all that’s keeping me sane)
I don’t know what to say now
I never meant to break
I never meant to break your heart in two
I know where I stand now
sympathetic, complicated
doesn’t really matter
I’m here for you
imprint in my heart
remind myself not to give in
never again
never again
everyone must crawl
before they soar up in the sky
always the same
always the same
writing on the walls
remind myself not to give in
never again
never again
one day I will fly
but now I’m good with walking
one step at a time
one step at a time
Lover (Darker Side)
We’re together every single day (I’m yours always)
even if it’s only in my blood (defenceless I bleed)
in everything we do we have our own way (no one understands at all)
every time we do it’s never the same (you are the one)
you’re the only one I’d ever let
hold me like I never could forget (in angels arms)
lover, you’re the sun
lover you’re the only
forming from a square into a circle of our own
it’s forever, forever
here I hold my heart and I am giving it to you
lover, lover of mine
cleansing everything that was in the way (leave us alone)
always cleaning something more each day (I’m sorry that I…)
I’m sorry that I hurt you so bad (I never meant to)
I guess that only I can make it good again (and hell I will)
lover, you’re my sun (and I’m the moon of us)
lover, you’re the only one
forming from a square into a circle of our own
it’s forever, forever
here I hold my heart and I am giving it to you
lover, lover of mine
I’ve let myself down more than you…
I’ve let myself down more than you think
Through Magic I can Touch You
this pressure on my chest is kind of weird
’cause I don’t know where it’s coming from
maybe you’re just sending me some love
or mine is trying to get out
feeling weird I think I thought too much
about the things I never say
I really want you to know them all
and maybe you will…someday
if you miss someone
imagine them beside you
and hope that one is doing the same
even if I’m alone
through magic I can touch you
oh my love
I imagine that you’re here
and if you do the same
then you’ll be here, you’ll be here
just the same, you’ll be here
you’ll be here in my mind
oh god how good this feels to have you here
although your body is not with me
even though my eyes can’t see you love
you know my mind sees everything
my heart is getting ready to explode
can’t concentrate or even think
this pressure is only getting more intense
I give into it
if you miss someone
imagine them beside you
hope that one
is doing the same
even if I’m alone
through magic I can touch you
oh my love
imagine that you’re here
and because you do the same
then you are here, you are here
just the same
then you are here
then you are here in my mind
after all these years I think I’ve got it now
got the luck, got the love
I’ve got it all somehow
what I’ve learned is I’m everything I thought I was
and even more when I hold you
all alone
through magic I can touch you
and you my love
imagine that you’re here
and I do the same
then you are here, you are here
just the same
then you are here
then you are
in my mind
Now is Not the Same
I’m using magic tonight
softer, softer
you don’t see but you feel stronger, stronger
as you’re getting closer
once I dreamt (this)
but now is not the same
you’re getting closer
I’m following but don’t know what to say
use the darkest of lights
blacker, blacker
you don’t see but you come over, over
as you’re getting closer
once I dreamt (this)
but now is not the same
you’re getting closer
I’m following but don’t know what to say
Not Feeling Like I Should
whisper into my ear
the softest sound that I’ll ever hear
it’s everything that I need to know
but still you’re saying nothing
surround me with your eyes
warm and welcoming eyes
so much that it makes me numb
and I am closer to my soul now
closer than ever before
feel how you hold me
just as I wanted
love it makes me “everything” when you do
(I won’t be alone this time and neither will you)
I’m feeling all too good
and I’m not sure if I can carry on
’cause I’m not feeling like I should
but please don’t stop now
please don’t stop
god have I changed?
as I do not quite feel the pain
I used to when you first came
but I don’t know, I just don’t know
I just take what I get
feel how you hold me
just as I wanted
love it makes me “everything” when you do
if this would all stay
more love, more love
but if it fades away
I’ll never, never
never get it back no
love it makes me “everything” when you do
feel how you hold me
just as I wanted
love it makes me “everything”
love it makes me “everything”
love it makes me “everything” when you do
Too Sad to Smile
slowly I drift into being what I feel
in a dead corner I wait
I don’t feel nothing
it’s like nothing never cares
but sure it must know that I’m here
the walls try to comfort me
as they try to speak
nothing take these walls from me
I don’t need comfort
I just need to lay down
in a dead corner and wait
wait alone
wait alone
wait alone
now I feel too sad to smile
and that’s the fruit of life
now I feel like letting go
(of) this thing that gives me light
now I feel too sad to smile
and that’s the fruit of life
…give me light
Sounds from Silent Thoughts
there is a place so deep inside
where I get sounds from silent thoughts
it’s so far away
but close to open hearts and minds
there’s an angel there
with fairy dust
talking between the worlds
“I’ll be here for your whole life
watching through the darkest night
like a stone that’s beaten by the tides
nothing can take me away”
I am a bird to the flower
as I sing and take off with the seeds
I pray that you’ll enlighten me someday
because what I don’t know, doesn’t hurt
still I don’t know everything I should
I’ll be here for my whole life
watching through the darkest night
like a stone that’s broken by the tides
you will take me away…
