Homebird sing, leave out nothing and tell me everything
I had forgotten what autumn felt like. I had forgotten how refreshing the cool air was, how it brought everything to life and gave my hometown a new feeling of reality. And so it has come back again. It was necessary. I needed something to knock the wind out of me. I needed this in able to grasp on to something new. Something new, something invigorating. Something besides you. And so I did.
Total absence of grace. Your reluctant voice saying; you decide your own fate
Alone in these strange streets, I think that I've walked them enough
Turn your lights down low
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day
And every chorus was written for us to recite
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
This potion might, this ocean might carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second, and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard
And when I play them, every chord is a poem
Telling the Lord how grateful I am cause I know him
The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress
If you're asking then I'm telling you it's yes
Stand in love, take my hand in love, God bless
I await the rain to wash away your face
I've met someone who makes me feel seasick
Before it all fades away
No envy, no fear
We are okay, we are alright
I need you to know. I need to explain this.
So, in order to marry someone, you must love them.
You also have to like them. You have to like who they are.
Now, take that sense of like and dubbel it. Tripple it.
Honestly, it grows everytime I talk to you. And that's how I can love you.
Step right over the line, and on to borrowed time
So I called you nine months ago. I stood there facing my highest fear. I did not know how to cooperate or how to function. So I called you up that night. It was snowing where I was. I'm sure you saw the snow too. You calmed me down, took my minds off of things. Just hearing your voice was comforting, even in that in- between place I had been situated in. You helped me lift off.
But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you
My only weakness, is knowing your secrets
and holding them close, and hold them tight
I know the way to silently make you smile with my eyes,
when you're trying to fight
I love you so much more tonight, more than yesterday
I flipped over on my stomach. That position never worked for me. So I lay on back with my arms across my chest. 'Wait', I thought, 'I got home at 1. Therefore, it must be 2 am.' An hour less of sleep can change everthing. When you know you have to get up in five hours, your whole attitude towards sleep is thrown out the window. I didn't sleep at all that night.
Ta min hand och kom så går vi vidare
I can't seem to make up my mind about you. But, you have a very special place in my heart, though I don't know you too well. I kind of like it that way.
Just take me there
This just says it all
And in this dark dark hour, you still illuminate a room
Love everything you've always loved
I feel so helpless now, my guitar is not around
And I'm struggling with the xylophone to make these feelings sound
And I'm remembering you singing and bringing you to life
And It's raining out the window and today it looks like night
