I know a place we can rest
A place far away from the world
Where the piano sound never ends
Where we can be happy

There lives all the animals we cant see
All the geniuses who disappeared
There the music never ends
A smooth melody fills the air
It reaches us all

The piano notes move with the wind
For some it might look like a mess
But to us
It's paradise
When you get near
I feel the rush in my veins
The blood is running fast
Im running out of breath

The world is colorful
The music sounds beautiful
Its all temporary
It'll all be gone soon

You forget time exists
And that it passes by so fast
You think this moment will last forever
Sorry son, its about to end

Your heart is happy
This feeling is so young
Little did you know
It's soon to be one
And suddenly
The world goes quiet
The loud voice I once heard
Who taught me what it is to be a man
Is now, quiet

To her I could say so many things
But that would **** the last bit of me
Im desperate to be alone
To be the man who is strong
Even without his world

Sometimes I miss dancing under the stars
Dancing for so long
I would forget where I'm at
I always thought I needed a partner
But dancing alone, is art

To be a man is to be alone
I fear that being good
Means I should be strong
A man with no world
Is a man who can be free
And that man
That man is me
Im starting to get old
Yet, I'm still young
I lived life with fear
Yet im alone
I met some incredible people
Who eventually will forget
What's my favourite color
They won't answer that

But if someone asks me
If I ever regret saying
"I love you" a few times
To the girl that I met
She was my world
I did everything I could
And even after promessing to stay
I hate to say this, but she ran away
ยด
I'm starting to realize
That even if im alone and sad
The trees won't stop growing
And time won't ever slow down
I wasted so much of my time
Giving love to this one girl
Mariana is her name
And I miss her a lot

I wrote her a love letter
It had some beautiful words
But it was not worth the effort
I'm now, alone
In the distance I hear
The subtle strumming of a old guitar
It's a old man
Got a long beard
And looks small from a far

As I get close
The music seems loud
The heart starts beating
To the strumming of the guitar

And I sit down
By his side
He sings a song
About his wife
He seems so calm now

He sings about the times
Where he felt a rush on his veins
Everytime he felt her hand
And he almost sheds a tear
When he remembers
That's all in the past
For more that I try
I can't make them understand
That for more money I'm offered
I won't stop plucking the metal strings
I won't stop writting and singing over simple melodies
I won't stop feeling emotions
When I hear a simple chord

I don't care about money or fame
I don't care about being laid
All that I really want is
To, one day, help someone
The way guitar helped me
The good times are a thing of the past
Life goes on
I said with a tear on my eye

I look back and I wish to go
I wish to go back to when you would kiss me

Now that I look back I realize
How fast time flies by
And we dont learn until its too late
To enjoy every second of our lifes

The feeling of your words
Is something that I'll never forget
I wish I could go
To when we first met

I wish I could be back
In the last week we were together
So that I can tell you again
In a meaningfull way
That I love you more than myself

I wish I could be back on that bus
Those rides used to be the highs of my day
You held my hand tight
I tought it would be forever

And now
Here I am
Suddenly
Im awake again
I look arround
No one's there
I look back in time
I wish she could hold my hand
I remember last night
I was wasted
I screamed for her to be back

When I'm in love I'm a fool
But I dont take any of it back
I might sound desperate
But really
I just miss to be held

They say man don't cry
Then tell me why
The women who made me a real man
Held me when I cried
Fearing it all would end

— The End —
