The Answer
04:07
|

No matter what’s the question
I know the answer
The answer is love
The answer is love
No matter what we’re saying
Despite the games we’re playing
All we want is love
And all we need is love
And if I ever did hurt you
You know
It was just cause I loved you
And I know
It doesn’t make any sense but sometimes
It just doesn’t make sense
and all I can do is try to accept that
Yeah, I just try to accept that
No matter where you find yourself
No matter where you’re flying
I’ll be right behind
Yeah, I’ll be right behind
And when the road gets crooked
we’ll take it step by step
We’ll take it breath by breath
We’ll take it breath by breath
And if I ever did hurt you
You know
It was just cause I loved you
And I know
It doesn’t make any sense but sometimes
It doesn’t make any sense
And all I can do is try to accept that
Yeah, I’m just trying to accept that

Another Useless Love Song
When I’m by your side
My heart takes flight, oh yeah
And I sleep on your shoulder
The dream might be over, it’s alright
Another lazy morning
In the countryside
Another useless love song
About you and I
Oh yeah
And if we have no future
Waiting is useless, I guess
But with no expectations
There’s less of a weight on our backs
Another crazy moment
Kissing on your couch
And I see all these moments
When I close my eyes
Oh yeah
Day slowly turning
Into lukewarm night
Going down to the ocean
Just you and I
Another conversation
About our life
Another useless love song
About you and I
Oh yeah

Open Up Your Heart
03:43
|
|||
How can I love you when you only turn away?
How can we change if we don’t want to change?
If you want love you must dare to be afraid
And there’s one thing I’ve been dying to say
Open up your heart
You can’t win if you keep playing it safe
You’ll never heal if you never dare to break
It feels just like we’re standing on the ledge
Longing to swim but too afraid to jump in
Open up your heart
I know that you been hurt a couple of times
And that you’ve taught your heart how to survive
But there is love to be given and received
There is love if you only let me in
Open up your heart

Strangers's Mouth
04:56
|
|||
Spit out your gum
And stick your tongue into a stranger’s mouth
And don’t be cute
You know the truth will always find its way out
And you can cry because you’re crumbling
But don’t you stop because you’re stumbling now
You’re no one’s slave
Don’t walk around as if you had no choice
You decide
You don’t have to hear your inner voice
Unless you do because it’s howling
I know the sound can be astounding now
And you can’t run and you can’t hide when
The noise reaches your ear drum now
And oh you know you might hurt yourself if you try
so you say you might wait just a little while
and meanwhile
You had it
Lost it
Picked it up and threw it away
You can be wild
And open up for us to touch your soul
Or chicken out
And change the subject just to get control
And you can hurt me just by smiling
Imagine if I’d see you crying now
I know you say you need your distance
But can’t you tell all that you’re missing now?
And oh, you know you might hurt yourself if you try
so you say you might wait just a little while
And you just go round and round
and meanwhile
You had it
Lost it
Picked it up and threw it away
Your broken heart
I hope you know you did it to yourself
(Sure) We played along
But all you needed was a little help
And you can cry because you’re crumbling
But don’t you stop because you’re stumbling now
And you’re still waiting for your moment
But there no such thing as perfect timing, no
But oh, you know you might hurt yourself if you try
So you say you might wait just a little while
but you’ve been hurting all your life
and meanwhile
You had it
Lost it
Picked it up and threw it away

High on You
04:46
|
|||
I am high on you
You go low on me
Said we would keep it discrete
Guess we don’t quite succeed
cause everybody here knows
That when we leave
We’re not going home
To get some sleep
And your kisses taste like cherry
On our way back home
I’m gonna ask you to marry me
And you’re gonna say no
And when I ask you why, you gonna reply
”Well, you know as well as I, because you’re drunk”
Oh, I don’t want to know what’s next
I just want to know what’s left
And I want to have control
We could try to reach
A little clarity
Or we could get undressed
Do what we do best
Cause there are things in my head
That I can’t express
In any other way than with my hands
Oh, do you want to know what’s next?
Don’t you want to know what left?
Well, if you want to have control
You can have it
Cause my eyes keep looking at you
We’ve got time still, thinking this through
But I don’t want to be alright
I don’t want to be alright
I just want you
Oh, I don’t want to know what’s next
I just want to know what’s left
And I don’t need no control
You can have it
Cause my mind got stuck in a loop
and there’s really not much I can do
But I don’t need to be alright
I don’t want to be alright
Cause My eyes keep staring at you
And we’ve got time still, thinking this through
But I don’t want to be alright
I don’t want to be alright
I just want you

No Money
03:36
|
|||
We’re not young but we are free
And when your eyes are looking at me
Well, I believe them
Even though I shouldn’t
Yeah, I believe you
Though I know you’re lying
We were dancing in the street
Yeah, we were dancing for a week
With no money
Well, I was stupid to believe
You would stick around with me
But I liked it as long as it lasted
Yeah, I liked it, as long as it lasted
There was this place I’d never seen
So we went there, just you and me
With no money

Tear to Open
04:48
|
|||
You’ve got me shaking in my boots
And I guess you know
I’m a coward under cover
But I could never hide away with you
Not even tears in the rain
You know me well enough to know that I’m a danger to myself
And anybody who gets close to me as well
But still
You get closer to me every day now
You get closer to me in every way now
And I get closer to you even when I try to pull away now
I want you to stay now
You’ve got me thinking maybe breaking wouldn’t be that bad
Tear to open, cause I’m not broken
You’ve got me hanging on and even making plans
It isn’t like me but I like it
You saw that all I needed was a little force to get going
so, you gave me some of yours and look at us now, we’re rolling
Forever in motion
And I get closer to you every day now
I get closer to you in every way now
You get closer to me even when you try to run away now
You want me to stay now
And I get closer to you every day now
I get closer to you in every way now
I get closer to you even
When I try to pull away now
When I feel afraid and ashamed now
And there’ll be no more running away now
I’m gonna stay now

The Days
03:09
|
|||
I like it best when we do nothing at all
Lying on your bed or making love on your floor
I like it when you’re just a little bit mean
It stops my thinking and it’s making me feel
And I want to feel cause I know thinking never got me nowhere
Oh no, the only thing it ever did was making a mess
And I could sleep through the first days of spring
Cause what’s the use if you can’t feel anything?
If we don’t want to, we don’t have to go out
We could stay in and watch the Days of our Lives
Go by as we pretend that the right time will come
or why not try the sweet sensation of just giving up
And maybe cry a little after, baby, I would like that
Cause compared to feeling nothing it feels great to be sad
I can’t say what is truly real
Or tell you why I feel the way that I feel
But I know I used to have you only in dreams
And now you’re lying here right next to me
And I could lie a little longer without falling asleep
And I could try a little less and maybe I will succeed
Or maybe this is what it is and it won’t ever change
And maybe I can’t take it, or maybe it is OK with me
Maybe it’s OK with me

My Ugly Side
03:32
|
|||
I want to tell you all my secrets
Cause I believe you’d keep them
I want to show you every weakness
Cause I don’t think you’d like me less
And when the morning turns into day
And we’re lying awake naked and pale
I will let you see my ugly side
And I will let you into my life
I want you to be angry with me
I want you to be mean
I want to break you just to make you
open up in front of me
And when the morning turns into day
And we’re lying awake naked and pale
I will let you see my ugly side
And I will let you into my life
Into my life
I want to tell you all my secrets
Cause I believe you’d keep them

Moments
03:57
|
|||
I could try for ages
And I would fail each time for you
I would push my limits
And I would break myself just for…
All the moments
The little moments
All the moments
The holy moments
All the moments
The little moments
All the moments
That we share
I could hide in memories
Where I know I’m in control, no
Cause I can’t trust my senses
But I would risk it all just for…
All the moments
The little moments
All the moments
The holy moments
All the moments
The little moments
All the moments
That we share
All the moments
The little moments
All the moments
The holy moments
All the moments
The little moments
All the moments
That we share
They are so rare
I guess I need my distance
To see what I’m missing out on
But I know I’m trying
And I would risk it all just for…

How Can a Heart Change?
05:03
|
|||
When did your apartment become so uncrowded?
When did temperature start dropping like a comet?
Well, I remember that your friends came over
But I don’t remember when they left
And I remember that we said it’s over
But I can’t recall why at all
When did my heart change?
When did my heart change?
When did my heart change?
Or was it always this way?
When did we run out of all that patience?
We had in the beginning, when we thought we could take on anything
Well, I remember that you bought me flowers
But I don’t remember giving them water
And I remember that I told you I love you
But I don’t remember what you replied
When did your heart change?
When did you heart change?
When did you heart change?
Or was it always this way?
You used to feel so good in my presence
But I guess doubt can be contagious
And by now I should have learned my lesson
Nothing lasts and everything changes
But can’t help but wonder
No, I can’t help but wonder
How can a heart change?
How can a heart change?
And why is it always this way?

One Final Dance
05:09
|
|||
All I need is one final dance
To memorize the touch of your hands
And don’t you worry, it’s not another metaphor
Or my way of asking for a second chance
No, all I want is to hold you close
Just until the lights come on
And then I’ll be on my way
Never bother you again
Just let it fade away
Like it never happened at all
Cause all I see is filtered through
This golden image of me and you
At our best
But we had our moments
Yeah, some days we spend
Really were golden
But now it’s time to leave all that
I didn’t come here to mess with the past
I just wanted to dance
And to hold you close
One last time
Before I let you go
I will let you go
I will let you go
Just let me let you go
