Saturday
hour after hour
Saturday
never comes the night
Yesterday was a bore
I want more from this life
Saturday
such a lousy feeling
Staring at
a spider in the ceiling
What to say?
Who am I,
wonder why am I here?
Worry free
was the original title
Can you believe
that was my idea?
Ironically
time is free, so are we
but we’re trapped in our heads
on days that never end
Saturday

On Sunday
I’ll be awaiting the moment
our world falls apart
and you can’t feel me in your heart
On Sunday
I have decided to tell you
what’s been aching in my mind
for such a long time
On Monday, am I the same to you?
Couldn’t this be a phase
we’re just going through
to be even closer someday?
When you will love me completely
Just like today
but with no secrets in the way of our love

Leaving or Arriving
07:38
|
|||
|
On this train
in my seat
impatiently
tapping my feet
Can the people around me see
if I’m leaving or arriving?
Minutes pass
one by one
very soon
two by two
That’s how they’ll see us walking by
but are we parting or reuniting?
It’s funny how a train can be the most ordinary thing
but lately I’ve experienced some dramatic traveling
One way I’m in tears and one way I can’t help but sing
well, it appears you have my heart on a string
I’m so thrilled
rosy cheeks
I’ll be crushed
in a week
Why won’t you forever stay with me?
No more leaving nor arriving

She Was a Friend
05:55
|

|
She was a friend of mine
We used to hang out all the time
drink vodka and wine
I remember we didn't think we cared
Thought school was just too much to bear
too cool to care
We drifted apart
our relation now is colder
She’s not in my heart
It’s just part of getting older
She was a friend of mine
Yet in appearance we’re still fine
I don’t really mind

Vad vill jag?
08:06
|

|
Vad vill jag?
Jag kan göra vad jag vill,
men vad e det jag vill?
Här omkring
går det alltid upp och ned
men vart kan jag stå still?
Att ha ett mål
Vart e du om tio år?
Ska det va så svårt?
Tiden tar
sina långa andetag
Vågar jag en vacker dag?
Jag kämpar, sliter ut mig själv
men ändå borde jag mer
En del av mig springer för allt jag har
En står kvar och tycker att jag e fruktansvärt lat
Nu får det vara nog!
Tvivel ger mig ingenting
Men vad e det nu jag vill?

When I Hear the Silence
05:12
|
|||
|
When I hear the silence
can I let the sky of grey be my guidance
to not look the other way?
When this dead old city
gives me those big eyes of glooming pity
can I let them make my day?
First when I dare to look inside
not afraid to see too much or to cry
I will know that silence is peace
and space is not a cage
but a place to be free

Miljarder Stjärnor
05:54
|
|||
|
Väntar, undrar
om jag nu blundar
sitter du kanske bredvid?
Somnar ensam
fylld utav längtan
och sorg för en tid som är förbi
Dagarna mörknar och driver oss bort
från en sommar som var allt för kort
Men en känsla finns kvar i mitt bröst
Jag vill inte vara naiv
Kommer det alltid va vi?
Tog jag verkligen vara på allt som vi fick?
Det var så längesen jag mötte din blick
Men jag minns att den glimmar precis
som natthimlen jag speglar mig i
Kommer det alltid va vi?
Står du också och lyssnar efter ett svar
Tystnar och hör miljarder stjärnor sjunga ja
