Not The Same

My friend,
Let’s have a drink
You’ve something to tell me
Something to cry about
Burning inside
Old friend,
What’s going on?
You don’t want to stay here
Many memories
Too much history
You can hardly begin
You can hardly begin
You can hardly begin your story
CHORUS
But it’s not gonna be the same
And it’s not gonna be her name
That you will hear
Ringing in your ears
And it’s not gonna be the same
And it’s not gonna be her name
That you will hear
Ringing in your ears
Ringing through your tears
Dear friend,
Let’s have a walk
These streets are moving
As fast as you
You’re changing too
With a new light in you
With a new light in you
With a new light in your eyes
Life goes on and on
Today will be yesterday

Sew Your Pain Away
02:22
|
|||
You’re good with leftovers
Some consolation prize
You play the understudy
But she’s the real star
You use old recipes
That work and will make do
But don’t you, don’t you, ever ask for seconds
There’s never, never, never, room for two
Hey sister, you matter
It’s time you disobey
(Wake up) Sister, you better
Sew your pain away (x2)
You’re good with fairy tales
Where patience is the key
Princess is still at rest
While you’ve been sleepwalking
You hear all their pity
They feel sorry for you
But don’t you, don’t you, ever ask for advice
What would they do, they do if they were you
You’re good with leftovers
As it was your last meal
Loneliness has become your pattern and mistake too
Loneliness has become your pattern and mistake too
Loneliness became your mistake too
Hey sister, you matter
It’s time you disobey
(Wake up) Sister, you better
Sew your pain away (x2)
(Wake up) Sister, you better
Sew your pain away (x2)

Drops of Water
04:17
|
|||
There are other days
When the colours seem to have no place in you
I deal with an empty gaze
Nothing to hold onto
And I try to help
But I’m tumbling off my mountain of hopes
To sink into a chasm of fear
It reminds of old memories that bully my heart
Nonetheless full of you
CHORUS:
These times when you lose ground
Drops of water overwhelm you
Each time you take a look round
No hug can reassure you
No words can reassure you
No smile can reassure you
Drops of water overwhelm you
I don’t know what to do
Support appears not enough for me
And if I let her manage alone
I feel so selfish
Overwhelmed, that’s my turn
I probably have to learn something
Taking care of everything is not wise for a heart
You can fool it with kindness
But don’t forget, you only have one
CHORUS:
These times when you lose ground
Drops of water overwhelm you
Each time you take a look round
No hug can reassure you
No words can reassure you
No smile can reassure you
Drops of water overwhelm you

Watching Traffic
04:26
|

Oh let me see another daybreak
With the sun blinding us through the curtain
Oh let me see another sunset
Carefree and hopeful for tomorrow
Oh let me see another earthquake
Rebuild everything from the ground up
Oh let me face another heartbreak
Maybe I can still live by myself
How many times will I come here?
How many days will it take?
Sitting on the side of the road
Watching traffic
And not meddling, not meddling
Sitting on the side of the road
Watching traffic
Oh let me carry another new born
Frail and delicate like a rosebud
Oh let me take another deep breath
Before I have to face the big world again
How many times will I come here?
How many days will it take?
Sitting on the side of the road
Watching traffic
And not meddling, not meddling
Sitting on the side of the road
Watching traffic
Sitting on the side of the road
I need to let go of a whole lot
I need to unburden myself
When I feel this much sorrow
I should be on my way again, should be on my way again, should be on
my way again...

Revere (Tow'rs cover)
04:56
|
|||
Winter's branch stands deceived
Earth communing on her leaves
Waiting to be like something else
Ray of sun struck the floor
Hands made puppets on your door
Reaching to be like someone else
And I hear
That the walls are crumbling in
I revere
That you are still waiting
Have I taken you for granted?
Beside me, always beside me
Beside me, always beside me
There will grow in me a place
Garden of the things you say
To wait and be okay with myself
Against the black midnight hour
Built in me a quiet power
To wait and be okay with myself
And I hear
That the walls are crumbling in
I revere
That you are still waiting
And I hear
That the walls are crumbling in
I revere
That you are still waiting
Have I taken you for granted?
Beside me, always beside me
Beside me, always beside me
Beside me, always beside me
Beside me, always beside me

The Stories I Will Tell
01:27
|
|||
It feels like I’ve been here forever
Waiting for you
Like it’s been a century
Of me longing for you
A part of me is missing
I’m a body without a limb
A part of me is missing
I’m a body without a limb
Somehow I know it would be brighter
When you’re in this world
I don’t know what to expect
I just can’t wait to meet you
I hope you’ll like my lullabies
Ah ah ah, the stories I will tell
I hope you’ll like my lullabies
Ah ah ah, the stories I will tell

Key Holder
01:34
|

On a Friday morning
Drinking tea and dreaming
Why am I not this chill?
All year long?
I wonder how to do
To take time, I have to change
Some rules that hold me down
I feel so tired
About the door of sadness opened in my heart
I realise
The key holder is me
And nobody else
Is me and nobody else
On a Friday evening
Drinking beer and wondering
Why I’m not serene
All day long
I wonder how to do
To make time, I have to change
Some rules, some rules, some rules
I feel so tired
The door of sadness opened in my heart
I realise
The key holder is me and...
I feel so tired
I realise
I feel so tired

Beauty Spots
03:27
|
|||
I want to know this land like the back of my hand
An unknown territory to any other man
I want to run along the lines of your lovely smile
Marvel at every freckle; get blinded by your eyes
Swing where you bat your eyelashes
Hide under your lids
CHORUS:
Every night I travel the miles of your skin
And leave little white pebbles
Until a map of you comes printed on my palm
And even blindfolded
I find my way back home
I want to climb your hills, swim the lakes you have cried
Run wild in a forest of hair where no one lies
Find shelter in a curve; sleep on your pillow lips
There aren’t enough days to explore all your beauty spots
There are not enough
CHORUS:
Every night I travel the miles of your skin
Until a map of you comes printed on my palm
Every night I travel the miles of your skin
And leave little white pebbles
Until a map of you comes printed on my palm
And even blindfolded
I find my way back home (x3)

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
Take it all
I played the cards too late
Now you're gone

Mary Angel

It’s a cold winter morning
As I’m walking to class
Will I see her today?
Will she say hello back?
She peeked through the window
At the end of Greek’s class
Could she be looking for me?
Did I see her smile back?
CHORUS:
Blue ribbon, red coat,
Mary Angel smiled back
Have you seen anyone?
Ever looking so nice?
Today the bell rang
And my heart was jumping
She asked for my sister
I just wanted to stay
It feels like she is strumming
The strings of my heart
I don’t know if I could ever
Confess my love to her
CHORUS (x2) :
Blue ribbon, red coat,
Mary Angel smiled back
Have you seen anyone?
Ever looking so nice?
