Just Carry On

Spending my time making money
Spending my time on the dole
Spending my time being funny
Spend it on rock ‘n roll
Spending my time in the house
Spending my time in bed
Spending my time on this love thing
Spending my time in my head
I just carry on
The days keep passing by
Makes me wonder sometimes
What is the sense
Of this wasting my time
Can’t seem to find the reason why
(So I just carry on)
Spending my time with reading
Spending my time on my bike
Spending time just playing
Spending it on a hike
Spending my time with you
Spending my time alone
Spending it while I’m standing
Spending it without a moan

Go Your Own Way
02:52
|

I don’t have a clue
I really don’t care what you will say
I even don’t bother
You can go your own way
You will see it your own way
Sure will see it differently
You won’t get what I will say
We differ quite extremely
The things you say
The way you react
You seem to disagree on everything
It’s totally fine
When we just won’t cross a line

Rolling Down
02:59

I'm in a good mood, I'm in a good mood today
I'm in a good mood, I'm in a good mood today
The sun keeps shining, I'm enjoying it all the way
Everybody smiling, everybody smiling at me
Everybody smiling, everybody smiling at me
Yeah that's the way, the way it ought to be
It's rolling like a stone down the slope to me
It's rolling down, rolling down to me
I'm in a good mood, I'm in a good mood today
I'm in a good mood, I'm in a good mood today
It feels so good to have it coming my way
Everybody smiling, everybody smiling at me
Everybody smiling, everybody smiling at me
I've waited so long, I forgot how it could feel
It's rolling like a stone down the slope to me
It's rolling down, rolling down to me
How long, how long will it last
Will it last for longer when I share it with you

Dark Skies
03:05
|
|||
|
The weather is changing
Clear blue sky turning into grey
Can't hear the birds
Singing their songs today
What can I do
I'm not in a position
To change the circumstances
And where are you
To brighten my inner sky
To lighten my day
Sing me a song
That will guide me all the way
I waited so long
For the end of this day
Now the night will dim the darkness
Bring about some peace of mind
Let it fool me for a while
Until it starts again
The rain keeps on falling
There's no sign of things getting better
A cloud of fog in my head
I feel like staying in bed

No Way Back
04:13
|
|||
|
There ain't no hope for this love anymore
There ain't no hope left anymore
We have crossed a red line
We have crossed the line where we can't go back
We've been giving too much and asking too little
We have worn this thing down
We could have turned the tide
But our consideration has been a bad advisor
So there's no way back
So there's no way back to where we came from
Now I don't know what to do
Now it seems there's no future

Time For A Change
02:51
|
|||
|
We can't go on pretending that there's nothing wrong
We better get some action
We've been fools for so long
It's time to get strong
There's no time left for more distraction
We've been denying our own misfortune
We've been beating around the bush
We've been fooling ourselves
Indulging in a life we can't support
Now it's time to make it happen
Now it's time to do it right
I can't deal with any more friction
It's time for a change
Where can we go from here
What can we do
We're used to make the wrong assumptions
We just don't have it clear

The Girl Inside
03:33
|
|||
|
Time is your friend
When you're dealing with a loss
Time will really mend
And in the end you won't give a toss
About how you look
And about how you dress
The way you're looking
Is still okay to me
I won't be picky
No need for me to be
I still do need you
I still do want you
When I look into your eyes
I can still see the girl inside
How long will it last
How much time is left
How much longer can I be with you
We lose some hair, we lose our grip
On the things that once were certain
But in the end it doesn't matter anyway

Good Old Times
04:13
|
|||
|
Time is moving on, I'm getting older
Been thinking 'bout it lately way too much
No reason though for me to worry
Everything is working out real fine
I remember my childhood
Seems like yesterday
But I reached a point
When you start to say goodbye
To the things that were
That have no meaning anymore
Except for the sake of good old times
I don't need to find a reason for my living
I don't need to find the things I left behind
The only thing that keeps me going
Is something that I just don't understand
I remember my women
Seems like yesterday
But I reached a point when you start to say goodbye
To the love that was
That has no meaning anymore
Except for the sake of good old times
Time is moving on, I'm getting older
It's a fact of life nobody can deny
Would be kinda silly pretending
That it makes no difference, that everything remains the same
I remember my plans, my desires
But I reached a point when you start to say goodbye
To the foolish things that have no meaning anymore
Except for the sake of good old times (4x)

So Much Better
03:08
|
|||
|
Everything has settled
The ghosts have disappeared
Now my mind is empty
The night has been so long
I did not know if I would make it
But now the morning taps on my shoulder
The morning so gently
Softly whispering in my ears
The sounds in the street
Everything seems so clear
I get out of bed
And make me a breakfast
Everything feels so pristine
The taste of the bread, the smell of my coffee
How could I forget how it can be
Now the weight is of my shoulders
The relief is making everything better
Now the weight is where it should be for ever
Everything is so much better
The night has been so long
My resistance so strong
Everything I feared was reality
The night has been so long
But now it is morning
A new day, a new way of living

Rolling Away
03:41
|
|||
|
The last few days passing by so fast
I feel your breath, wish it could last
No time for talking
No time for laughing
It is time to say goodbye
No use thinking
If this is okay
No use arguing why you don't stay
No time for talking
No time for laughing
Now it is time to say goodbye
The train starts rolling, the train starts rolling away
The train starts rolling, rolling away
I close the curtains, put on the lights
Prepare my dinner, wait for the night
No use thinking
No use reminding you
No use trying to change the past
Has it been worthwhile
Has it been good
Could I done better
Can I change my mood
No use thinking
No use reminding you
No use trying to change the past
Listening to the rain ticking on the window
I put my head on your pillow
I smell your sent
Can see your face again
The time is slowly passing by

No Use In Holding On
03:34
|
|||
|
I don't think this will last forever
I don't think you will be here for long
So I will take it day by day
Enjoy the moments with you
Let you find your own way
Be grateful for the time with you
Everything we do is just a bonus
A pleasant surprise every day
I need to take it moment to moment
No use in trying to hold on
To the things I want to keep forever
No use in holding on
No use in holding on
No use in holding on to you

The Bottom Line
03:26
|
|||
|
I don’t look back anymore
I’ve wasted too much of my time
It seems I have reached the bottomline
I don’t really care for the future
It’s just a game in my mind
I’ve played it too much, I’ve had enough
I don’t wait for anybody
No need to fill up the space
Seems I have reached the bottomline
I don’t want answers from you
I work it all out by myself
I don’t try to find a solution
It must come by itself
The only thing that I know
Is me being here right now
No need to reject that simple fact

Just The Witness
02:56
|
|||
|
You think that I’m in a bad situation
Nothing seems to matter to me anymore
It depends on your interpretation
There is freedom, there is love, why ask for more
You’re a fool, you’re a victim of your glorification
Of a life how you want it to be
Can’t you see you’re just a modification
A tiny part reluctant to see
That life you know is your own creation
Holding on to this image of a you and me
You’re a fool, you’re a victim of your glorification
Of a life how you want it to be
No difference
Not at all
Just the witness
That’s all
