Hit And Miss

Morning creeping through the curtains
I'm trying to postpone my day
Turning over once again
The memories from yesterday
Slowly seem to fade away
In the doze of a morning dream
In the promise of a bright new day
Never thought that it would come to this
It was just a matter of hit and miss
Never in my life I could have known
This is the way that it would go
You can plan whatever you want
Everything going just fine
Then a storm comes along, messing up all your plans
No matter the precautions you take
No matter what’s at stake
Life will go it’s own peculiar way
I’m holding on to my routine
I need to have some certainty
The past few days have been a blast
Now it’s over, it seems unreal
When I look into the mirror
There’s a face that looks familiar
But how can it be the same
When everything else has changed

A Bad Day
02:32

I will skip today
If that is okay
I’d rather stay in bed
Get some peace in my head
No way that this day
Will bring me some kind of relief
What can I do
To stop the rain
Where can I go to
Should I go back to Spain
No way that this day
Will bring me some understanding
If only I knew how to get rid of my worrying
If only I knew how to turn this mess into bliss
I’m feeling depressed
Can’t find me some rest
I’m losing ground
That I once found
No way that this day
Will bring me some peace of mind
Where will this lead to, will it be better
Anything better than today
Can it get worse, worse than today

You Are Leaving Me
03:37

I hear it in the way that you talk
I hear it in the sounds that you make
I see it in the way you keep a distance
I feel it in your quiet resistance
You’re leaving me
You’re leaving me soon
You’re gonna leave me
You’re gonna leave me baby
And leave me here all alone
I feel it in the way that you touch me
I see it in the way that you avoid me
I hear it in the words you are using
I sense it in the air around you
You dance with that other man
As if I don’t exist
You turn around and walk away
Without even trying to explain
Why do you treat me this way
Why are you hurting me all over again

Warfare
03:07
|

|
This strange affair has worn me down
Our warfare has brought me down
The world we used to live in
Has vanished while we were fighting
Now the dust has settled down
All I see just makes me frown
But we can’t turn back the time
We have to start all over again
I know it’s all a game
We’re just tiny little soldiers
The artillery has been moved
But in the end it’s all the same
I know it’s a crying shame
We keep building all these fences
In the end of the day
We find ourselves imprisoned
Why don’t we realize
We are left to our own devices
All that we need to know
Is the way to go
To let go of our defense

Pink World
05:19

We've been living in a pink world for so long
We hardly notice the absurdity of it all
And never seem to think that it just can't be for real
We are thinking pink, we digest it all the time
We're not aware of the true colour of the sky
We think that what we see is all there is to see
We fail to understand
That we are living in a dream
A dream of pink skies and pink water in the sea
There's no chance that I will see
The colours you are showing me
That pink is just the colour
Of a world from you and me
That pink is just the colour
Of the glasses that we wear

Riding Home With You
02:44
|

It’s late at night, quiet roads
The radio is playing loud
I’m feeling fine, knowing you’re mine
Driving to the end of the world
It has taken some time to make you mine
It has been a stoney road
But now it’s fine, now that you’re mine
I feel like driving to the end of the world
I’m riding home, I’m riding home
I’m riding home with you
You’re here in my heart
That’s the right place for you to be
When we met about a year ago
I never thought that you would be mine
It did not cross my mind
I was way too occupied
I love you, I need you
I want to hold you in my arms
But right now I will settle
With riding home with you

I had a look at my life
Some things that I saw made me cringe and cry
All that I did and I didn’t
All cases closed, all passed by
Some of my friends are no friends anymore
Some of the girls still make me smile
And some of my friends
Are still around for God knows how long
Do I really want to know how much time we are given
I have this strange feeling
When I’m going back to the childhood of my life
As if nothing really changes
But the truth is that it does, that it never is the same
Some of my friends are no friends anymore
Some of the girls still make me smile
And some of my friends
Are still around for God knows how long
Do I really want to know how much time we are given
The beauty of it all is that nothing can be known
The nature of this life will always be hidden
Will always be hidden
That what tries to understand is just a tiny little part
Trying to comprehend, trying to grasp
Something that is way too big
I had a look at my life
Some things that I saw made me cringe and cry
All that I did and I didn’t
All cases closed, all passed by
I have this strange feeling
The beauty of it all is that nothing can be known
The nature of this life will always be hidden
Will always be hidden
That what tries to understand is just a tiny little part
Trying to comprehend, trying to grasp
Something that is way too big
Something that is way too big
That outshines our temporary being
Something that is way too big
