I Can Hear That

Okay, so you’re saying I've done a very bad thing
My songs are lame and your ears are stinging
I can hear that, I can hear that
Now let's take a moment and see where you're going
I'll give you some time to express what you're meaning
Choose your words well, choose your words well
Cause I've got my own words ready to spill
And I don't need your mirror to see how I'm looking
I'm feeling fine, no matter what you think
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m mediocre
And I don’t need anyone to remind me why
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m getting stronger
And I don’t need anyone
I bet now you're feeling a little small in your pants
But there's room for both of us in this place
You don't need to brag, you don't need to brag
You say that you know better than me what I should do
But if you’re so smart, why not take the mic
And do it yourself, just do it yourself ?
Cause I've got my own words ready to spill
And I don't need your mirror to see how I'm looking
I’m feeling fine, no matter what you think and
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m mediocre
And I don’t need anyone to remind me why
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m getting stronger
And I don’t need anyone
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m mediocre
And I don’t need anyone to remind me why
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m getting stronger
And I don’t need anyone

This Is Your Sign
03:16

Here, you are totally frightened
You are completely frozen
You don’t know what to do
You see those pictures on a loop
They don’t make any sense
Any more than I do
It’s the most common thing in the world
To sit in your couch and wait for a sign
This is your sign
To wake up and be the best you can
Your sign
To stand up and fight for what you can
This is your sign, this is your sign, this is your sign
This is your sign
Here, at the family table
You can’t bear anymore
All the shit that they say
You’re hearing those clichés on a loop
All you wanna do is shout
But you keep your mouth shut
It’s the most common thing in the world
To sit in your chair and wait for someone to say something
But this is your sign
To wake up and be the best you can
Your sign
To stand up and fight for what you can
This is your sign, this is your sign, this is your sign
This is your sign
While you wait around
You're not helping anyone
While you wait around
Always waiting for a sign
This is your sign…
This is your sign
To wake up and be the best you can
Your sign
To stand up and fight for what you can

One Life
03:01
|

We're losing time
In our lives
We want some things that we do nothing to have
We forget tomorrow
Will bring its sorrow
As time is passin' by
We've got one life,
Just one life
We want to have
Plenty of lives
We never want to choose one path
But the road's divided
Every day remindin'
Of the ones we've left behind
Whatever the reason why people change
They get tired and old and don't want to feel in danger
Keeping their dreams locked up deep within their nights
Never to think about them
We've got one life,
Just one life
Here I'm waiting
Waiting for something
But guess what ?, nothing will ever fall from your sky
So here I'm staying
And I'm waiting for nothing
I'll be singing 'til stardust falls from the sky
We've got one life,
Just one life

Tender kisses
Lips softer than jelly beans
Words spoken truly
Deeply crawl under your skin
You don't know what love is about
You don't have a clue
It's about giving and sometimes forgiving
You don't know what love is about
No, you don't have a clue
It's about believing and understanding
A heart that’s not beating
As fast as it did before
And we're lucky to feel so good
And be able to breathe at all
Cause no one would survive an eight-year teenage first-day passion
So sometimes you've got to cut it out to learn to relax a little
And give your best
You don't know what love is about
No, you don't have a clue
It's about giving and sometimes forgiving
You don't know what love is about
No, you don't have a clue
It's about believing and understanding
I wouldn't mind all these guys to be down on their knees
Just to remind me that I'm his
I wouldn't mind all you girls to be down on your knees
But it won't bring me to tears
He's mine
You don't know what love is about
No, you don't have a clue
It's about giving and sometimes forgiving
You don't know what love is about
No, you don't have a clue
It's about believing and understanding

The Fight
03:35
|

|
You say you still love him
And tears keep on falling
You've chosen to be wise
Refused to shut your eyes
But you saw his face two months ago
And since then you don't know where to go
It keeps haunting you at night and the pain's divine
These years of travelling
What if you were fleeing ?
And putting some distance
Between you and your drugs
But what if you were not meant to live
As a vagabond pursuing a dream
You deserve to feel alright out of the wild
You are not alone in this fight
I will help as best I can
‘Cause I know there's no one, really no one,
Who can live with a heart torn in half
Let’s wrap in linen
That heart that has swollen
And later thank your daddy
For making you like nobody
And what if your love was, after all
Painfully unconditional ?
You deserve to feel the warm rays of the sun
On your head
You are not alone in this fight
I will help as best I can
‘Cause I know there's no one, really no one,
Who can live with a heart split in half
You are not alone in this fight
I will help as best I can
‘Cause I know there's no one, really no one,
Who can live with a heart split in half

Walruses
03:28

You wanna buy a car that says who you are
You wanna build a house and fill it with nonsense
’til you need a bigger one
You wanna show the world
You wanna leave a trace
Bet you could show your grace in things that matter
And we’d follow your steps
But you don’t want that
I don’t wanna live in this world
Where walruses jump off cliffs
No we don’t wanna live in this world
Where walruses jump off cliffs
So let’s do something now
It’s our home we’re talking ‘bout
Let’s do something now
Before we fall like walruses on the ground
Banquets at the Fouquet’s
Millions of pirouettes
You’re acting like a child who wants it all
But punishment comes next
You can dismiss Greta
Keep patronizing her
But she’s not alone
You’ll be on your own
In your rocket leavin’ Earth
But you don’t want that
So let’s do something now
It’s our home we’re talking ‘bout
Let’s do something now
Before we fall like walruses on the ground
I don’t wanna live in this world
Where walruses jump off cliffs
No we don’t wanna live in this world
Where walruses jump off cliffs

I'll Be Brave

My sweet babe
I'm writing you now
So you'll know who I am
In case I shut it out
I never knew my mum
She didn’t hear me out
We couldn't understand
And all that made us cry
I remember her scent
Her soft hair and her arms
Inside I wasn’t scared
Until she scared me out
She wanted all the best
And everything was fine
The Christmas tree was great
No family around
With the best intentions
And all the sweetest love
She gave me everything
Then everything was lost
No matter what you do
If I yell at you
Give me a hug, my babe
And tell me to be brave...
And I'll be brave for you
Ten years will pass
But remember the ice
Against it, in my chest
My heart will start a fight
Neither will win I guess
Don't wanna tell you lies
It might be for the best
Deep tender mother heart
With the best intentions
And all the sweetest love
We’ll give you everything
Hoping it won't be lost
No matter what you do
If I yell at you
Give me a hug, my babe
And tell me to be brave...
And I'll be brave for you
I'll be brave for you !

No Shame to Cry

When it’s time to say goodbye, they tell you it’s not sad
Unless it’s too late, you can change your mind
They’re tryin’ so hard to keep their tears hidden from outside
But there’s no shame
To stare at the sky and cry
When your life is turnin’ so bad that you can’t see any light
Crushing your soul into pieces like frozen grass
There is no shame
There’s no shame to cry
Well this boy told you he’d show you stars
But it turned out to be lies
Cause the sky’s so cloudy and dark
But you were blinded by a smile you thought you wouldn’t even give a damn
We’ve all been, one day misguided
When your life is turnin’ so bad that you can’t see any light
Crushing your soul into pieces like frozen grass
There is no shame
There’s no shame to cry

The Song to Get You Back
03:13
|

It didn't take you long to touch her hair
And take her hands in yours, just to warm them
It didn't take you long to buy her flowers
And go get her things at night, if she wants
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It didn't leave me long to realize how I missed your eyes
- More than I can describe
So I was starting a song to make you stay
But you were so fast, I had to write a song to get you back
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I think you were right to do what you did
'Cause I've been quite a bitch
And you know I've always been one but
I'll keep singing this song to who's gonna hear it
And I hope someday maybe you won't avoid it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And nobody could take you out from my head
And nobody could take you out from my head
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Moving Sand
03:21
|

|
You’re walking on a sea of lies
Moving sand and falling skies
No wonder why you dived right into those eyes
It is a thing to shine too bright
Laugh too loud, then fall so hard
Never wondering why the answers don’t arrive
Looking through the air around you
Everything is lost and grey
It doesn’t matter anymore
Whether you’re right or you’re wrong
Something’s happening in spite of you
In your heart and in your core
And everything you thought was true
Doesn’t mean anything, anymore
Is it a good time to make decisions tonight ?
One more step you’ll reach the shore
The salty water in your core
Reminds you that you had to pay the price, twice
You see, the time we need to grow
Is how long it takes to know
That every story’s bound to end no matter what
Looking through the air around you
Everything is lost and grey
It doesn’t matter anymore
Whether you’re right or you’re wrong
Something’s happening in spite of you
In your heart and in your core
And everything you thought was true
Doesn’t mean anything, anymore
Is it a good time to make decisions tonight ?
Tonight
