Palms, acacia, and eucalyptus trees Long, white beaches Red, hot sand Down under Far from home A spark lits up Like the stars shining Over the spread-out city Oak, spruce and pine trees Long, deep fjords White, cold snow Up in the north Somehow far from home Cloudy and raining A glimpse of the moon The same as you see

Long Distance

Palms, acacia, and eucalyptus trees Long, white beaches Red, hot sand Down under Far from home A spark lits up Like the stars shining Over the spread-out city Oak, spruce and pine trees Long, deep fjords White, cold snow Up in the north Somehow far from home Cloudy and raining A glimpse of the moon The same as you see

I washed up on the shore You were already standing there Like you were expecting me You made me feel warm again I could feel the sun burning my neck As I turned around and followed you into the forest It was like a warning The sun trying its best to make me stay But I couldn't resist And you led me deeper in It was so dark I remember falling asleep And when I woke up You were already gone I stumbled around in the dark Time went by I thought I saw the shore Where it all began I rushed my steps My blood started pumping faster In a hurry towards the light A twig scratched my left arm I didn't feel any pain But then I saw the blood First just a few drops Then my arm was all covered I kept on running Faster and faster The light was getting dimmer But I could smell the ocean now And then I was there I was too late The sun was setting I could barely see it shining Behind some tall buildings That weren't there before The sun disappeared And so did I

Bright Shores, Dark Forests and Tall Buildings

I washed up on the shore You were already standing there Like you were expecting me You made me feel warm again I could feel the sun burning my neck As I turned around and followed you into the forest It was like a warning The sun trying its best to make me stay But I couldn't resist And you led me deeper in It was so dark I remember falling asleep And when I woke up You were already gone I stumbled around in the dark Time went by I thought I saw the shore Where it all began I rushed my steps My blood started pumping faster In a hurry towards the light A twig scratched my left arm I didn't feel any pain But then I saw the blood First just a few drops Then my arm was all covered I kept on running Faster and faster The light was getting dimmer But I could smell the ocean now And then I was there I was too late The sun was setting I could barely see it shining Behind some tall buildings That weren't there before The sun disappeared And so did I

I’m lying here Thinking about Things I shouldn’t think of I think of her My heart stings a little My thoughts run too fast Every time I close my eyes I see her Not me With you Lying in bed smiling And it hurts Oh God, it hurts If only I could let these thoughts go away

Things I shouldn’t think of

I’m lying here Thinking about Things I shouldn’t think of I think of her My heart stings a little My thoughts run too fast Every time I close my eyes I see her Not me With you Lying in bed smiling And it hurts Oh God, it hurts If only I could let these thoughts go away

Waiting for you Starts a fire inside of me I feel it in my heart The pain induced by the flames And they heat up Making the blood in my veins Start boiling Slowly killing me Still waiting I feel the anxiety Crawling up My throat Spreading its vines Thickening Soon choking me Slowly killing me The only thing Left to do Is to pray that The fire inside of me Will burn the crawling vines To stop the unbearable choking And I'll finally be able To breathe again

Slowly killing me

Waiting for you Starts a fire inside of me I feel it in my heart The pain induced by the flames And they heat up Making the blood in my veins Start boiling Slowly killing me Still waiting I feel the anxiety Crawling up My throat Spreading its vines Thickening Soon choking me Slowly killing me The only thing Left to do Is to pray that The fire inside of me Will burn the crawling vines To stop the unbearable choking And I'll finally be able To breathe again

One of the phenomena in life, is that when you have been treated poorly for a long time, you'll eventually get used to it And when you all of a sudden stumble across someone nice, you'll acknowledge them, but then expect them to disappear soon. Because how could you ever trust that they'll stay? Better not get attached, and hurt another time. But what if that is a mistake? Maybe you should give it a shot? Have a little faith in humanity. Risk being naive once more. And then you try. Everything seems fine, just waiting for it to get bad. Or, wait... Could this possibly be the happy ending you only see in movies?

To know her is not just knowing her name, birthday and her favorites. No, to know her you have to notice all the little things that make her, her. The way her fingers tap when her favorite song is playing out loud. The way her eyes always search for that one particular person in the crowd. The way she holds back a smile when his name is mentioned. Most of all, how she is when she is all by herself. Nothing shows better how a person is, than their behavior alone. Then she is a hundred percent herself, and that, my love, is the girl you want to know.

To really know her

To know her is not just knowing her name, birthday and her favorites. No, to know her you have to notice all the little things that make her, her. The way her fingers tap when her favorite song is playing out loud. The way her eyes always search for that one particular person in the crowd. The way she holds back a smile when his name is mentioned. Most of all, how she is when she is all by herself. Nothing shows better how a person is, than their behavior alone. Then she is a hundred percent herself, and that, my love, is the girl you want to know.

Do you know how cheerful you make me, with that gorgeous smile of yours? How pleasant you make my day, whenever I get to spend it with you? How tremendous I feel no matter when you lean in to give me a kiss? Just by feeling your presence you make me feel like the most fortuitous girl in the world No words can describe what I feel towards you, my love

You make me

Do you know how cheerful you make me, with that gorgeous smile of yours? How pleasant you make my day, whenever I get to spend it with you? How tremendous I feel no matter when you lean in to give me a kiss? Just by feeling your presence you make me feel like the most fortuitous girl in the world No words can describe what I feel towards you, my love

Tall trees and grass everywhere Howling wind and grasping branches No one to be seen or found All, all alone in the darkness Light far away in the horizon Stretching out to grab it For every breath, a step closer A flame inside called hope Someone dragging me back I am fighting back So tired and exhausted But the longing for you is strong For a moment, just a second Giving up sounds fine I close my eyes as I hear You whisper to me I decide to try one more time So I set my eyes on you Determinedly I find you And finally I am home again

Lost in the Forest

Tall trees and grass everywhere Howling wind and grasping branches No one to be seen or found All, all alone in the darkness Light far away in the horizon Stretching out to grab it For every breath, a step closer A flame inside called hope Someone dragging me back I am fighting back So tired and exhausted But the longing for you is strong For a moment, just a second Giving up sounds fine I close my eyes as I hear You whisper to me I decide to try one more time So I set my eyes on you Determinedly I find you And finally I am home again

I make the garden green I make the flowers bloom I make the heaven so pretty I removed all the snow But still you shouldn't Believe the summer is coming I did this for me And not for you

I make the garden green I make the flowers bloom I make the heaven so pretty I removed all the snow But still you shouldn't Believe the summer is coming I did this for me And not for you
