The songs that frame my study period.
    There are songs that you listen to ever-so-often, sometimes they blend with whatever you're doing.
    You've memorized the lyrics and your mouth silently moves along with the words without you conciously being involved.

    Yet when I listen to these songs, I can't help but write the lyrics down.
    Cos they all fit so nicely, the words with each other, and their emotions with mine.


    If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
    I'll be the moon that shines on your path
    The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
    For snow to fall on the Sahara

    If thats the only place where you can leave your doubts
    I'll hold you up and be your way out
    And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above
    For snow to fall on the Sahara


    Cause you can't jump the track
    We're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
    No one can find the rewind button girl
    So just cradle your head in your hands.
    And breathe


    Someday I’ll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
    Where trouble melts like lemon drops
    High above the chimney tops,
    that’s where you’ll find me


    Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
    I cant let go
    When will this night be over

    I didn't mean to fall in love with you
    And baby there's a name for what you put me through
    It isn't love, it's robbery
    I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me


    Don't stray, don't ever go away
    I should be much too smart for this
    You know it gets the better of me
    Sometimes, when you and I collide
    I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
    Don't let me drown, let me down
    I say it's all because of you
    And here I go, losing my control
    I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face
    It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
    Let all the things you mean to me
    Come tumbling out my mouth
    Indeed it's time to tell you why
    I say it's infinitely true

    Say you'll stay, don't come and go
    Like you do
    Sway my way, yeah I need to know
    All about you


    I laugh, I dream, I cry
    When you take me on a rollercoaster ride
    You see me through and through
    You see just who I am
    Just take my hand and

    Save me from this place
    Heaven knows I'm falling
    For you, my sweet embrace
    Heaven knows
    Heaven knows I've been waiting for you


    Is it fair to write a song to a woman?
    Is it fair play to try and win her heart?
    Is it right to bring her sonnets
    In the morning time?
    To express the first few
    Longings when they start
    To express the first few
    Longings when they start

    Is it right to let her feelings
    Rise to catch you?
    Is it OK when her heart begins to fall?

    But if I wrap my words around you
    Wrap my words around you
    If I wrap my words around you
    Would you stay
    Would you stay, would you?


    I didn't hear you leave
    I wonder how am I still here
    And I don't want to move a thing
    It might change my memory

    And I won't leave
    I can't hide
    I cannot be
    Until you're resting here with me


    Thought you needed
    Needed someone true
    But you changed your mind
    Or had I failed you?

    Wish you'd been
    Careful with my heart
    But you tore it apart
    And broke an angel's heart

    It's hard holding you
    Loving you, losing you
    It's sad to be true
    And be fooled by you


    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    tomorrow I'll be gone


    Would you look at her
    She looks at me
    She's got me thinking about her constantly
    But she don't know how I feel
    And as she carries on without a doubt
    I wonder if she's figured out
    I'm crazy for this girl
    I'm crazy for this girl


    Saying I love you
    Is not the words I want to hear from you
    It's not that I want you
    Not to say, but if you only knew
    How easy it would be to show me how you feel
    More than words is all you have to do to make it real
    Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
    Cos I'd already know
    What would you do if my heart was torn in two
    More than words to show you feel
    That your love for me is real
    What would you say if I took those words away
    Then you couldn't make things new
    Just by saying I love you
    More than words


    My life got cold
    It happened many years ago
    When summer slipped away
    So chill now, whoa
    We've gotten many years to go
    So take it day by day

    And long ago I lost my soul
    To some forgotten dream
    But, how was I supposed to know
    It wasn't what it seemed
    And even though the last hello
    Has left me on the floor
    I don't believe in Romeo's and heroes anymore


    And the fire fades away
    most of everyday
    Is full of tired excuses
    But it's too hard to say
    I wish it were simple
    but we give up easily
    You're close enough to see that
    you're the other side of the world to me.


    Every time our eyes meet
    This feeling inside me
    Is almost more than I can take
    Baby when you touch me
    I can feel how much you love me
    And it just blows me away

    I don't know how you do what you do
    I'm so in love with you
    It just keeps getting better
    I wanna spend the rest of my life
    With you by my side, forever and ever
    Every little thing that you do
    Baby, I'm amazed by you


    Every time I think of you
    I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue
    It's no problem of mine
    That it's a problem I find
    Living a life that I can't leave behind
    There's no sense in telling me
    The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
    But that's the way that it goes
    And it's what nobody knows
    And every day my confusion grows

    Every time I see you falling
    I get down on my knees and pray
    I'm waiting for that final moment
    You say the words that I can't say


    I'll always remember
    It was late afternoon
    It lasted forever
    And ended so soon
    You were all by yourself
    Staring up at a dark grey sky
    I was changed

    In places no one will find
    All your feelings so deep inside
    Was there that I realized
    That forever was in your eyes
    The moment I saw you cry
    The moment that I saw you cry


    I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
    That don’t bother me
    I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
    I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
    Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
    There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
    But that’s not what gets me

    What hurts the most
    Was being so close
    And having so much to say
    And watching you walk away
    And never knowing
    What could have been
    And not seeing that loving you
    Is what I was tryin’ to do


    It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
    Without saying a word you can light up the dark
    Try as I may I can never explain
    What I hear when you don't say a thing

    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
    There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
    The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
    You say it best when you say nothing at all

    All day long I can hear people talking out loud
    But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
    Try as they may they could never define
    What's being said between your heart and mine
