01 NO SUNSHINE

No more postponing
You decided on a day
Three weeks of goodbye
Till you’re 10.000 miles away

The countdown has started
The countdown has started
The countdown has started
The countdown has

Playing ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’
Like a constant in my head
I moved to my settee
Can’t sleep on your side of my bed

The countdown has started
The countdown has started
The countdown has started
The countdown has started

Three
Two
One

Sunset, sunrise
We didn’t sleep all night
And now it’s time to get up
You take my hand
And drag me to the bus stop
I’d rather hear you say
That it’s ‘peanut butter jelly time’
Instead it’s time to say goodbye
And I hate it
I can’t say it
So we let the first bus pass by
We let the first bus pass by
But we’re on a time frame
My plane is leaving soon
I’ve got some work to do
You know I’d rather stay with you
But my hands are tied
Eyes start to cry
’Us’ turns into ‘you’ and ‘I’
I can’t even look at you
Though it might be the last time
Thinking it could be the last time
I see love in your eyes
It might be the last time (Uhh)
This could be the last time (Uhh)
I see love in your eyes (Love in your eyes)
And I was right

02 BEST FOR (me is) YOU

I am the leaves and you are the tree
There is nothing I can do to keep you
It’s the best for you and the worst for me
The best for you and the worst for me

Let go, let go, let go
I play it on repeat
Our love had its season
It’s time to let go now
If that’s what you need
Cause that’s what you need (What you need, yeah)

He said ‘Trust me with your eyes shut
This hail of bullets isn't meant for you.’
I trust him with my eyes shut
So that hail of bullets goes through and through

Now, you're in my blood stream (Uhh)
You're all that counts (Uhh)
You're in my prayers
Though you let me down (Down)
And I can't help it
I need my daily dose
I miss your presence
I guess that's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes

Come on be here new year
My hope is hard to beat
This time my heart is to blame
I am hurt and it’s hard to heal
I am hurt and it’s so hard to heal

He said ‘Trust me with your eyes shut
This hail of bullets isn't meant for you.’
I trust him with my eyes shut
So that hail of bullets goes through and through (Through)

Now, you're in my blood stream
You're all that counts
You're in my prayers
Though you let me down (Let me down)
And I can't help it
I need my daily dose (Uhh)
I miss your presence (Miss your presence)
I guess that's how it goes (Down)
That's how it goes (That’s how it goes)
That's how it goes (That’s how it goes)
That's how it goes (That’s how it goes)
That's how it goes down (Down, down)

03 HAPPINESS IS FRAGILE

Make it even
Make it easy
Cause things will get worse
And this feeling's just wrong
You said it won't last forever
And I’d learn how to move on
Say it won't last forever
And I'll learn how to move on
You were wrong

Even til this day
Darling, you were wrong
My head is spinning
While the world keeps moving on
Even til this day
Darling, you were wrong
My head is spinning
While the world keeps moving on but

My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still

Don’t be silent, that’s too evil
There’s pain in my chest
And this feeling's just wrong
You said it won't last forever
And I’d learn how to move on
Say it won't last forever
And I'll learn how to move on
You were wrong, so wrong

Even til this day (Say it won't last forever and I'll learn how to move on)
Darling, you were wrong
My head is spinning (Say it won't last forever and I'll learn how to move on)
While the world keeps moving on
Even til this day (Say it won't last forever and I'll learn how to move on)
Darling, you were wrong
My head is spinning (Say it won't last forever)
While the world keeps moving on but

My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still

Happiness is fragile tied to sinking stones
I could’ve loved you till I died, you and you alone
But your memory got robbed by a pack of thieves
You lost the ability to love me, felt the need to leave
I told everybody that you loved me
Little I knew, little they know
Told them wherever you were going
You would find your way home
Find your way home

Even til this day
Darling, I was wrong
My head is spinning
While the world keeps moving on, moving on
Even til this day
Darling, we were wrong
My head is spinning
While the world keeps moving on but

My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still
My heart is standing still

Say it won’t last forever
And I’ll learn how to move on
Say it won’t last forever
And I’ll learn how to move on
Say it won’t last forever
Say it won’t last forever
And I’ll learn how to move on
Say it won’t last forever
And I’ll learn how to move on

04 SCRABBLE

Love is a game, is a gamble
And I would go for broke
We were playing scrabble
Spelling the word ‘us’
And I was full of hope

I was in love with you
That’s why I watched you leave
Watched you fall in and out of love with me
I was in love with you
Why would I intervene?
You should be happy
And you would be

I saw your new friend
Looks a little bit like me
Doesn’t she?
Did she take my place?
Stepping in right on time
Do I wanna know?
I guess it’s been too long
Do I wanna know?

I was in love with you
That’s why I watched you leave
Watched you fall in and out of love with me
I was in love with you
Why would I intervene?
You should be happy
And you would be

You look so happy, so happy
How can you be so happy already?
So happy, so happy, so happy already
So happy, so happy

05 PROMISE ME THE EARTH

I’ll stop counting the days
And I’ll stop counting on you
Gonna call things as they are
Gonna cut myself loose

Promise me the earth
Promise me the moon
Make up excuses
Say you’ll be back soon
Say you’ll be back soon
Say you’ll be back soon

Be back soon
Be back soon

Let’s give it a go
Let’s give it a try
I heard you say no
But I need to know why
Let’s give it a go
Let’s give it a try
A no is a no
But I need to know why

You are starting a new life
Without me

06 EVEN NOW

Winter is almost here
And you raise my hopes
When you told me that you still think of me
All this time was it worth the heartache?
Or is your future yours and mine is mine?

I missed your heartbeat
I missed it all year
But it’s easier to be done with you
Than to wish you were here
Wish you were here

Silence is back again
After you told me you’re sorry
How it all came to an end
I hope it worked out
You seem to be at peace, now
While I’m still crying over us
Even now (Even now)

Even now, even now, even now

Could you just come home?
Could you come home safe
Could you just come home?
Could you come home safe
Could you just come home?
Could you come home safe

I missed your heartbeat
I missed it all year
But it’s easier to be done with you
Than to wish you were here
Still I miss your heartbeat
Like I missed it all year
And it’s easier to be done with you
But I wish you were here
Wish you were here

07 ANOTHER GOODBYE

Fill the gap I feel
I want to learn how to play the bass you gave me
Learn how to dance rock and roll
So I can talk about it in case you should ask me
It’s a pretty cool hobby

Being distracted became my number one goal
Being distracted is the only way I know how to cope
I got myself extra busy to bridge the time
Talked myself into believing that it will be fine

I need this to work out and I want us to try
I have to be honest though
The last thing I need is another goodbye
I wish I was your only but wishing won't make a right
So say your goodbye and I will say mine

Being distracted became my number one goal
Being distracted is the only way I know how to cope
I got myself extra busy to bridge the time
Talked myself into believing that I will be fine

Your stuff is back with your mother, now
I got in touch on the 4th of July
You told me to keep it until you come for it
But I wouldn’t know why
It would just be
It would just be
It would be another goodbye

08 94

They say
You are good at making promises
Even better at telling lies
But you are best when it comes to breaking hearts
I never followed their advice
’You are going to burn your fingers, girl
If you touch what isn’t yours’
’But aren’t sparks meant to set the world on fire?’
’And when it rains, it pours’

Who said forever?
Who clouded my mind?
Who said forever?

Are we destined to fail again?
Though I was true and gave my all
I ignored the little time we had
Recklessly traded two friends for some short-lived luck
Could we start all over again?
I search for truth in your eyes
Or would it end the same but hurt much more?
And if you don’t speak of love then why would I?
Why would I?

Who said forever?
Who clouded my mind?
Who said forever?
Who said forever?
Who clouded my mind?
It was my heart, my heart all the time

So have you got what it takes?
Have you got what it takes?
Have I got what it takes?
We don’t have what it takes

09 PROMISE ME THE MOON

At first you sang ‘Just The Two Of Us’
Then we listened to ‘Free Bird’
You said I smelled of Tic Tac
And you were scared that I could get hurt
Before we went to sleep at night
I would lay my head on you
so I could listen to your heartbeat
My favorite thing to do (Favorite thing to do)

When love was omnipresent (Love was omnipresent)
And you made me feel like gold (Made me feel like gold)
You gave me a kiss at every traffic light
And your jacket when I was cold
And you would wait and walk me home (Wait and walk me home)
Make sure that I’m alright (Make sure that I’m alright)
And you showed up at the airport (Showed up at the airport)
Just to kiss me goodbye

The day you left you said you’d write
Cause you knew that I’d be hurt
So you said that you would stay in touch
Knowing you wouldn’t keep your word

Promise me the earth
Promise me the moon
Make up excuses
Say you’ll be back soon
I’ll stop counting the days
And I’ll stop counting on you
Promise me the earth
Promise me the moon
Make up excuses
Say you’ll be back soon
I’ll stop counting the days
And I’ll stop counting on you

So you don’t have any questions?
Well what about answers?
You say you don’t care for birthdays
And it’s clear you’re referring to mine
So let’s meet up on Friday
Around six at my place
I want to show you my ceiling lights
Wanna study your face

Cause I missed your arms around me, spoon
And those good old times
When we were watching ‘Zombie Land’
Our fingers intertwined
When we were laughing so hard it hurt
That was my favorite time of day
When break up was no option
And separate ways seemed far away

Today you talk about how you have changed
Giving me the cold shoulder
You think that you’re wiser now
But I think you’re just a year older

Promise me the earth
Promise me the moon
Make up excuses
Say you’ll be back soon
I’ll stop counting the days
And I’ll stop counting on you
Promise me the earth
Promise me the moon
Make up excuses
Say you’ll be back soon
I’ll stop counting the days
And I’ll stop counting on you

I was prepared to make it work
Thought we could make it if we try
But it could never be the same
So this is goodbye

10 ANSWERS

Give me some answers
Give me some answers
Give me some answers
Give me some answers

I wanted to know
Why would we cross the line?
Why even make that move?
It’s always on my mind
Is that what lovers do?
Was it easy to shift your focus?
Away from me
To summer nights in Queensland
To beaches unknown

And I’ve been having a hard time alone at home
Dealing with this on my own isn’t easy
And I’ve been up all night, most nights
Been running all the red lights
Been running from myself
Kept looking for you
Kept looking for you (You)

And I keep telling my heart to toughen up, to just stop (You)
I’m telling my heart to toughen up, to just stop
I keep telling my heart to toughen up, to just stop (You)
I’m telling my heart to toughen up, to just stop
Asking all these questions
I still have no answers

11 MY ONLY

I want to be part of your picture
But not just for now
I want to be part of your picture
Why can’t you fit me in somehow?
I used to lose all my color
In the darkness of this room
I can’t put a smile on my face anymore
Soon will be here too soon, too soon

I guess I just liked the thought
I just liked the thought

I was your comfort in a tough time
And then easy to let go of
Seems like you thought this through
Seems like I didn’t know you

I guess I just liked the thought
I just liked the thought
I guess I just liked the thought
I just liked the thought that

You are and you were and you will be
You are and you were and you will be
You are and you were and you will be
You are and you were and you will be
My only love

12 ALL THE GOOD THINGS

I like the sound of rain
It reminds me of you
I watch the clouds as they gather
Until the sun breaks through
And I wonder if where you are
Is where you would like to be
And when you think of all the good things
Do you ever think of me?

When I see couples kiss I’m reminded of us
And I can’t help but feel a sting
Thinking I wasn’t good enough
And were you hurt the way I was?
Did it take long for you to heal?
And if you ever think of me now
How does it feel?

You don’t need me like you used to
It’s something I have to get used to

I miss the sound of your heart
Mine’s been racing quite a lot
And I hope that you are happy
But I miss you so much
And I wonder who’s in your arms
And if she’s there to stay
Can you picture her with children
Will you marry her one day?

I like to think I was loved
Someone that mattered to you
Someone special you respected
But how could that be true?
It was easy for you to go
Ignore me for some time
And when you turned your back on me like that
Were you trying to be kind?

My heartache multiplied
This love is all I know
Something special I respected
But it’s time to let it go cause

You don’t hold me like you used to
I don’t reach you like I used to
You don’t love me like you used to
It’s something I have to get used to

I like the sound of rain
It reminds me of you
I watch the clouds as they gather
Until the sun breaks through
And I wonder if where you are
Is where you would like to be
And when you think of all the good things
Do you ever think of -

13 BUILDING A CATHEDRAL

Uhh uhh
Uhh uhh

I was building a cathedral
You were just killing some time
You took it back the second it was said
But the words took root in my mind
You took it back the second it was said
But my world lies in ruins

So wash off the paintings
Tear down these walls
I watch how windows crack
And bricks break
As the ceiling falls
I give up resistance
And I give up hope
It’s out of my hands
And I don’t understand it
But I let you go

It was nothing but a whisper
But I couldn’t stand the sound
And I'd link it to your name
Things can't be the same
So let's raze it to the ground
I’d link it to your name
Things won’t be the same
Never wanted to find what I found

So cut down the forest
Cut down these trees
I watch how giants fall
And birds fly as I watch you leave
I give up resistance
And I give up hope
It's out of my hands
And I don't understand it
But I let you go

It's out of my hands (I let you go)
And I don't understand it
But I let you go (I let you go)
It's out of my hands (I let you go)
And I don't understand it (I let you go)
But I let you go
I let you go
