The night started with anticipation
Nineteen stops away from the regular train station
The world moved by, as I listened to poetry
And five stops away, you waited for me

You held my hand and we ran away
from the terribly monotonous day
To a magic ghost-town where strangers danced all night
And laughed through the empty streets, under the pale moonlight

We walked
And you asked me if I was okay
I wanted nothing more than to stay

The harsh light condemns in this dark room
The moment I fled, a moment too soon

I want you so bad
We're waiting for noon

To reveal what was hidden
Under the light of the moon

Right from the start you've been doubted
Something's amiss
Some things don't align
Like a thousand falling stars becoming warning signs

Terrible and beautiful at the same time

All around you the world is breaking
Forming cracks from selfish demands
We all watched amazed, and wonder

How a human could survive
Being struck by thunder

You boldly declare, 'My heart's still beating!'
And I shamefully thought to myself, 'Lies. Lies. Lies...'

But when you held me in your arms, I could almost feel it
The warmth of your chest and a beat...

Move on. Move on.
*Stay strong. Stay strong.

Tell me, do you believe that soulmates exist?
I could almost guess that you don't know if you do

Because I would feel the same way too.

Could God really have taken all the lovely things
Made it into a passion and built it into two separate beings?

I was a girl with a treasure map
Filled with self-made marks of the treasures that I'd find
You came along with your own atlas, when our worlds collided
And our worlds aligned

How strange it is to not feel like a complete stranger
Whenever I'm with you.

Make me a paper flower
Cut and folded perfectly
Choose your favorite color
So part of your heart will be with me

Arrange a pretty bouquet
Don't regret that you can't buy them from the store
I don't need ones which wither away
I know that your heart (and the paper flowers)
Mean so much more

The little girl pulled on the thread

Wanting to see what would happen

Wanting to find what was behind

the neat little crochet patterns



It looked wonderful in her head

Another world all together

String in between her fingertips

And a soul as light as a feather



The little girl pulled on the thread

Excitedly anticipated

What new and spectacular shows,

Mystery and strange magic awaited



The wildflowers dance in the wild,' they'd said

Take in the places you've never been

Take in the stories with all your senses

And beautiful characters that you can't imagine



The little girl pulled on the thread

Every tug revealed another picture

Each break made the world unravel

The black and white turned into a mixture

Of grey



It looked wonderful in her head

Until it just became a mess

of dishonesty and selfishness



She was left lost in the different shades

In confusion and wistlessness

With dirt in her eyes and her pretty dress



The little girl pulled on the thread

The world in chaos, looked almost half dead

But the wildflowers danced in the wild, like they'd said

Out of brokenness comes beauty, she once read


It looked wonderful in her head

A chic little lady
Dressed in grey, with your head held high
For you, every boy in the room would die
What a dazzling sight you are, in the spotlight

But the darkness of night takes over the light
You are left at home
Alone again
Tonight...
