Reconstruct me 04:46
lyrics
buy track
Nothing can change my world, it's a solid piece made of all the times that I tried to prove that I have done my part and now it is up to you to dig up our graves and pick the bones up try to unravel what went through her mind But we just wanna know, what we already know we just want the past to match the present stick with our story until we're proven wrong Won't you reconstruct me, based on what you see I will do my best to try to convince you that nothing can change my world, it's a solid piece made of all the times that I tried to prove that I have done my part and now it is up to you to dig up our graves and pick the bones up try to unravel what went through her mind But we just wanna know, what we already know we just want the past to match the present stick with our story until we're proven wrong Won't you reconstruct me, based on what you see will you do your best to try to convince me that I was the one who got it all wrong then

Little boy 04:59

Little boy, you were born into a rocking boat you were born in the summertime, into this rented house I hope that you don't mind a little mess in here we have tried to make it disappear into the thin air I thought by now I would have sorted my life out arranged it into little drawers, shaven of all my horns I really thought that I would never be afraid ever again I would be working just for laughs while the morning sun sings promises of happy days to come We can try not to see the worst in life, not to see the burst of night, not to see the men who fight over silly things that noone really cares about I guess all that I can do is to give you a good start into this world that we don't seem to know that much about Little boy, I was born into a rocking boat I was born in the summertime, into a small town house I hope that you don't mind that I'm still a mess I really tried to do my best to make it a little less and while the morning sun sings promises of happy days to come We can try not to see the worst in life, not to see the burst of night, not to see the men who fight over silly things that noone really cares about I guess all that I can do is to give you a good start into this world that we don't seem to know that much about Little boy, you were born into a rocking boat you were born in the summertime, into this rented house I hope that you don't mind a little mess in here we have tried to make it disappear into the thin air I thought by now I would have sorted my life out arranged it into little drawers, shaven of all my horns I really thought that I would never be afraid ever again I would be working just for laughs while the morning sun sings promises of happy days to come

Lämnad åt mina tankar 04:02
lyrics

Jag ville berätta allting utan att säga ett ord jag ville du skulle säga att du redan förstod du trodde att du var så tom du trodde att hon såg allting såg att det var ingenting bara ett skal omkring Du bygger en värld av silver utanför se hur den skiner, i alla andras ögon följde alla ritningar precis och visst är den vacker på sitt vis Ville bli lämnad åt mina tankar... du trodde att du var så tom, trodde du var tom inuti du trodde att hon såg allting såg att det var ingenting, trodde du var tom inuti bara ett skal omkring Du bygger en värld av silver utanför se hur den skiner, i alla andras ögon följde alla ritningar precis och visst är den vacker på sitt vis Ville bli lämnad åt mina tankar...

Don't let yourself down 04:42
lyrics

Don't let yourself down, don't let it just lead you I know you want the worst of this situation I know you want a tiny thread to pull into the open to weave your own image to wrap around your head But I don't think that it's downwards that is the way to go now I tried that one before and it didn't make me bounce back to a higher understanding a happy ever after landing it was an intellectual battle to prove that you were not worth having Don't let yourself down, cause everybody's got their dark sides just don't let them suck the light out of all your other sides it's so easy to be wise now, fighting wars from a safe haven to be a preacher in your own church for those who don't need a saviour No, I don't think that it's downwards that is the way to go now cause I tried that one before and it didn't make me bounce back to a higher understanding a happy ever after landing it was an intellectual battle to prove that you were not worth having

Sun coming up 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Gonna try not to indulge into thinking all that much cause it never really did me any good gonna try not to obey all my fear's got to say about how I ought to go about my life And it's a shaky little road to the sunny side of life and I'm sitting on the roof of this old dirty bus as we're bumping along with my feet dangling off the side And I may be unaware, or maybe just don't care about the steep slope on the side though I sensed it there at night won't you join me for a while you can sit here by my side we can watch the world in a different light as the sun's coming up Gonna try a little more though I'm never really sure that all is gonna turn out for the best cause there aint no guarantees that you can have all that you please every little detail in your dream And it's a shaky little road to the sunny side of life and I'm sitting on the roof of this old dirty bus as we're bumping along with my feet dangling off the side And I may be unaware, or maybe just don't care about the steep slope on the side though I sensed it there at night won't you join me for a while you can sit here by my side we can watch the world in a different light as the sun's coming up I see the sun coming up, it can't stay down forever...

Who's to say who's won 04:57
lyrics
buy track
There are so many things for you to see if you only open your eyes to what's above the horizon of broken washing machines And I want to go beyond the clichés that I used so many songs that I could never live up to no matter how hard that I tried I hear all songs in my head when I watch you play like there's no end they were written by somebody else but nothing belongs to noone here everthing's ours on loan And the biggest fear of everyone is not having a single thing to show Who is to say who's won...

Beside the now 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Please, don't let this night just be a hike to get to the end cause there will be more but not like before and there'll come a time when you wish you'd done more with the time that you had but then you should know that that is the moment you make the mistake cause all that's beside the now And while I'm busy trying to avoid getting caught not being real I'll keep in mind that being alive is just a short while and though I'll wish I'd done more with the time that I had those are the only times that I regret cause all that you've done before is beside the now

Historien upprepar sig 05:23
lyrics
buy track
Vad vill du ta med dig när du dör? Det finns någon som spelar in allt du gör i sitt huvud, nu kommer du få se vem du egentligen är nu kommer du få se Kommer du att göra om mina fel? Kommer du att tro att ingen kan se i ditt huvud, du är en öde ö mitt i Atlanten du är en öde ö Historien upprepar sig och jag går i dina fotspår jag kommer inte längre än du Jag trodde jag var någon annan mycket bättre än alla andra så vilsen i mina tankar Vad vill du berätta för dig själv? Vill du ta dig i handen och leda dig fram genom din barndom till en annan du utan nån rädsla för att vara fel Historien upprepar sig och jag går i dina fotspår jag kommer inte längre än du Jag trodde jag var någon annan mycket bättre än alla andra så vilsen i mina tankar Vad vill du ta med dig när du dör? Det finns någon som spelar in allt du gör Kommer du att göra om mina fel? Kommer du att tro att ingen kan se? Du är en öde ö mitt i Atlanten du är en öde ö

Varje gång jag vaknar 05:28
lyrics
buy track
Du säger det finns inget som spelar någon roll för du har försökt att hindra, hindra tidens gång och du kan stänga alla fönster så att ingen kan se men ändå kommer natten att hitta in till dig Och jag kan inte längre komma ihåg mina drömmar försöker lite mer varje gång som jag vaknar att hitta tillbaka varje gång som jag vaknar Och jag har gett upp tanken på att hitta evig ro att hitta ett hål i dagen utan någon oro säg mig är det på riktigt? för jag börjar få känslan att varje gång som vi hälsar är jag nån annanstans

Getting to know you I feel like I have so many things that I wanna hide try as I may to prepare what to say I wouldn't want to be any other way And I would be a liar if I told you I was never ever scared of the sunshine shining into my cave I know I got to be a bit brave and not turn away when the light gets into my eyes No, I wouldn't want to be any other one I wouldn't want my life undone getting to know me I hope that you will see that the beauty lies in what is real Cause I would be a liar if I told you I was never ever scared of the sunshine shining into my cave I know I got to be a bit brave and not turn away when the light gets into my eyes Getting to know you I feel like I have so many things that I wanna hide but I wouldn't want to be any other one no I wouldn't want my life undone Getting to know me I hope that you will see that the beauty lies in what is real Getting to know you I feel like I have so many things that I wanna hide Getting to know me I hope that you will see that the beauty lies in what is real

Happy endings 05:47
lyrics

I wish it was simple, just a simple diagnosis that would shed some light on all these feelings that we don't understand I wouldn't have to feel so at loss when the shadow of a doubt makes it's way into a sunny day I really wanna share with you one of these moments when the world makes sense for a little while we wouldn't have to feel so afraid of not knowing the final page looking for a happy end in chapter one It's not even visible to the naked eye so much underneath that we do hide but will you share your fears with me? I wouldn't have to feel so at loss when the shadow of a doubt makes it's way into a sunny day we wouldn't have to feel so afraid of not knowing the final page looking for a happy end in chapter one It's not even visible to the naked eye so much underneath that we do hide but will you share your fears with me? Looking for a happy end...
