Heaven Can Wait

|
Last night you called me up, standing on a bridge
Overlooking the city lights
With the cold, dark waters beneath
You said you're tired of being human, of being alive
Time was always on your side
But 16 years went by so fast
Standing on the platform, waiting for a train to come
Until you realized
It left years ago
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
It's not too late
Don't leave me here on my own
Heaven can wait
Don't go
Rough treble and a steady bass
And nights that never end
You never felt freer than you did in Berlin
Do you feel it?
Do you feel what I feel?
Heaven cant wait, it's not too late
To go back there, you and I
And we'll do everything all over again in slow motion
To make it last for a life time
Heaven can wait
It's not too late
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Don't leave me here
Heaven can wait
Don't jump
It's not too late
You say I don't understand
Heaven can wait
No one will
So, your're still standing on the bridge
As I run to you through the night
You say you're high and you won't feel a thing
Am I selfish for feeling left behind?
I'm not sure that there's a God up there
But if there is, I'm not sure it knows that we're here
'Cause it gets so lonely down here at nights
Maybe I just wasn't made for this life
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
It's not too late
Don't leave me here
Heaven can wait
Don't jump
Heaven can wait
You say I don't understand
Heaven can wait
No one will
It's not too late
That I should live my life
Heaven can wait
And let you go
Heaven can wait

Close Encounters

There's only one thing guaranteed
Nothing in this world is for free
And you buy and you sell
And you trade with your heart, your body and soul
I love it here in the dark
It makes everything look good
My friends all went home
And I'm dancing on my own
I love how you move in the lights
Oh, man you look so good
I want to go down on you
I want you to take me home
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me and I'll give you my soul for free
And here we lay in the morning sun
As our lives slowly fade away
Who we were and what we did
Will never have made a change
I pull myself close to you
And in the morning sun we make love
And then we say our goodbyes
And we pay with our hearts and our souls
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me and I'll give you my soul for free
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me and I'll pay you with my heart and my soul
With my soul
With my soul

Apart
04:48
|

|
For 3 years and a half
You and I have grown apart
A mortgage, 2 kids and a Volvo
And an affair that broke my heart
You say this is hell for you
Well, how do you think I feel?
Should we just end this now
Or stay together for the kids?
Somehow we just grew apart
And I know that's not what you want
I know that it's not your fault
You just don't love me anymore
I know that you've been hurt by
All that I said
And you know that I've been hurt too
By all the things that you did
Do you remember what made us great?
'Cause my memories are beginning to fade
What is left of us now
But routines and bills to pay?
Somehow we have grown apart
And I know it's not what you want
You don't love me anymore
And I know that it's not your fault
Somehow we just grew apart
And you know that's not what I want
I don't love you anymore
Somehow our love
We just grew apart

Call me up
Take me out
I need to see people
I need to see life
I need to feel alive tonight
Take me out
Break through my door
I'm in here on my own
And I feel so alone
I just can't break this desolation on my own
Come take me out
Can you hear me now?
The walls are closing in on me
I'm falling apart
I need to get out
And when I'm with you
I forget who I am
And all I've done wrong
And what a fuck up I am
And all I couldn't do today
Down on the floor
I'm falling apart
My heart's beating fast
And my lungs will explode
No one else understands me the way that you do
Over my head
Inside of my soul
The pills that I take
And the promises they make
No one but you would walk a meter for me in my shoes
I just want to dance with you
I just want to dance with you
Dance with me
Down on the floor
I'm falling apart
My heart's beating fast
And my lungs will explode
No one else understands me the way that you do
Over my head
Inside of my soul
The pills that I take
And the promises they make
No one else would walk a meter for me in my shoes
I just want to dance with you
Dance with me

Guilty Pleasures

|

|
And it hurts me
What have I done?
How could it happen so fast?
And just like that is it over?
I want to explain
But can't find the words
I know we need a change
And you say nothing
Nothing at all
You yelled and you hit me
I turned the other cheek
You cried and you held me
And it cut so deep
There is no shame left
No one left to blame
And you and I
We are both the same
I told you what's wrong with our lives
And you told me what's wrong with me
Who I am and who I
Never was and never will be
I told you what's wrong with our lives
And you told me what's wrong inside of me
Who I am and who I
Never was and never will be
I want you to hold me
Just hold me
I want you to hold me
Just hold me
I want you to hold me
Just hold me
I want you to hold me
One last time
I want you to hold me
Just hold me
I want you to hold me
Just hold me
I want you to hold me
I want you to hold me
I want you to hold me

Oblivion

|
Inside my heart there's an empty room
I promised I would wait for you
But you never came back home
You know I would offer you my soul
If I thought it would help at all
But no one can reach you where you are
I miss you
I need you
If you hear this song
Pick up your phone
I need to hear your voice one last time
Can you hear me?
Why did you leave me?
If you hear this song
Pick up your phone
And call me up
Olivia
You left me a number to call
No one knew you there at all
They said you slept there once and then
I sometimes dream of you
And the kids we never had
And a life in Hökarängen
I miss you
I need you
If you hear this song
Pick up your phone
I need to hear your voice one last time
Can you hear me?
Why did you leave me?
If you hear this song
Pick up your phone
And call me up
Olivia
Where are you?
I miss you so
Can you hear me?
I need to hear your voice one last time
I miss you
I need you
If you hear this song
Pick up your phone
I need to hear your voice one last time
Can you hear me?
Why did you leave me?
If you hear this song
Pick up your phone
And call me up
Olivia

Côte d'Azur

When September comes
I long for the sun
And a life by Côte d'Azur
The winters are so long and cold
Here in Luleå
I want to run away with you
We spend the whole day in bed
Coffee and cigarettes
And Lana Del Rey
Another lazy day with you
Dreaming of Côte d'Azur
What if we ran away?
Take me far away
Where we can always stay
Together
Forever
To the Côte d'Azur
Me and you
Together
Forever
I wish I had something to say
As we share a Chardonnay
Before we make love
God I've been so lonely
I just want somebody
I know I'm not the only one
I've been mad in love before
We're not young anymore
And we never will be
A life by Côte d'Azur
And lazy days with you
Do you want to run away with me?
Take me far away
Where we'll always stay
Together
Forever
Take me far away
So we can start again
Together
Forever
To the Côte d'Azur
Me and you
We'll be together
Forever
Take me far away
Where we'll always stay
Together
Forever
Last night you sat me down
To tell me who you are
You held my hands
And you opened up your heart
You never felt like this before
And you don't believe in love
But when you look into my eyes
You are not so sure anymore
Take me far away
Where we can start again
Together
Forever
To the Côte d'Azur
Me and you
We'll be together
Forever
Take me far away
So we can start again
The trick is to keep breathing
Keep breathing
To the Côte d'Azur
Me and you
We'll stay together
Forever

There was no one in the park
No one but you and I
They were all at home
Watching football on TV
There was no one in the park
On a warm summer night
Just you and I, a bottle of wine
An junkies shooting heroin
You said you don't believe in love
And that I'm too good to hurt
You don't believe in love
You don't see why anyone should
No, you don't believe in love
You never could
But on June 23rd
You gave birth to our baby girl

Radical Romantics

It's 4 am and you're not here
I'm dancing with strangers
But all I want is to dance with you
I've sent you a message
Won't you get back to me
And tell me what I want to hear
I know that you're no good for me
But I still come over
Every time you call on me
I know I'm not the only one you see
And when we're together
I close my eyes and pretend that I'm the only one
I know you sneak in my phone when I sleep
So I guess what we have must mean something
Radical Romantics that's what you call us
2 lost souls on a distant shore
Just trying to hold on
How does it feel when he whispers in your ear?
Does it feel the same when he kiss your lips?
How can you say what we have is real
When you always go back to him again
I'm going out tonight
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
And in the heat of the night
I'm gonna lose my self
And if you want me to come
Don't bother to call
'Cause I left my phone at home
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
That I was someone special
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
But I'm still dancing on my own
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
But I'm still dancing on my own
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
But I'm still dancing on my own
I thought I was special
I thought I was special
But I'm still dancing on my own
