Grab your coat
And take some food
Pick a boat
It’d do you good

Don’t you plan
Your destination
I know you can
But let creation

Take a trip
Inside your mind
And let the ship
Be yours to find

From a distance she seems normal
But from closer you can see
That she has a little something
Like her mind inside is free
You can see that she is dreaming
Fantasizing something great
And for a moment it almost seems
Her dreams are lifting up the weight
All those cares and all those worries
That she like everybody has
Are fading for a tiny moment
Like she hurts a little less
You take a step towards her
Cause you feel a bit amazed
And as you watch her very carefully
Her mind is screening on her face
For it’s in her eyes that you find galaxies
And stars just shining all around
Thousands of beautiful new colors
Waiting for her to be found
At first you think this girl is crazy
Totally lost her good old sense
But when you think about it better
You find you’re putting up a fence
Although her mind’s not realistic
And she dreams bigger than could ever be
You realize without this girl
You would’ve never dreamed as if
you’re free.

The wind was gazing through the window
Curtains dancing in the night
Blowing away my biggest sorrows
Waking a feeling deep inside

Never had I felt more alive
Then right there on my well aged bed
Not even thinking about the things
The things that I had never had

‘Cause while outside the wind was storming
Inside it brought me genuine grace
Stayed in this dark room way too long
Until the fresh breeze touched my face

Oh if it's true that only love can make a home
then why is it, when I'm surrounded, I feel so alone?
And if a set of walls and a roof don't mean a thing
then why is losing it releasing such a heavy storm within?

And He said
Hold on
Don't you let go
Stay strong
Somewhere along this road you'll find a home again.

I'm tired
It feels like everything I once held dear
it slowly fades away
Give me soms quiet
and let the moments turn to memories of those early summer days.

The way you stand
The way you sit
The way you secretly laugh for a bit
You’ve been hurt
You’ve been broken
And yet your heart is wide open
You think no one sees
You think no one cares
But that is really just not fair
Because I see
Because I do
My heart is filled by just looking at you

Do you remember when we were just kids?
When there was nothing in the whole world that we missed?
We would only need each other
and the garden of your mother
Tell me; do you remember this?

Do you still hear our voices when we sang?
Or ever think back to our wildest dreams and plans?
All our talks about this life
and almost everything that comes with it
Tell me; do you remember this?

Of how this world has changed
But I still feel the same

You're the one I want to call
when a piece of me falls out of place
You make a rainy day feel better
'cause there's sunlight in that smile on your face

When we're old and when we're grey
and we're living miles and miles away
You will still be in my heart
And if you'd call me up, you'd hear me say:

Don't you know the day I lose you
is the day I lose a part of me too?
And don't you see that life is special
but it wouldn't be as special without you

Someday I will not need these clothes to feel good
I will not worry ‘bout what I should
Someday I’ll do my best and like what I see
I won’t need special wings to feel free
But someday
Could you not come a little sooner?
Please save this girl before I ruin her
Maybe that you could come today
Oh what I would give
Just to be okay

It was on a cool summer night
That I really felt the need
To go some place I didn’t know
And wander on my feet
As I walked along the seaside
With a breeze upon my skin
Some quiet music in my ears
The outside air I breathed in
And what I smelled was like fresh rain
After a month of hot and dry
The world is peaceful when you leave it be
And walk towards
The sky
