I Keep My Headphones On

No, I would rather walk here on my own, thanks
No, I would rather walk here on my own
No need to try to chat or touch or smile
No, I don’t want to stay for just a little while
I keep my headphones on!
Look straight ahead
Keep my headphones on!
Take the bus instead
Keep my headphones on!
Stare into the sky, stare down in the street
I keep my headphones on!
Missing out a lot
Keep my headphones on!
Don’t care what you’ve got
Keep my headphones on!
Stare into the sky, stare down in the street
Perhaps I said I couldn’t
That was a lie
The truth is that I wouldn’t
And I wouldn’t try
And the truth is sometimes giving up is no loss
And the truth is that I’m luckier than most
And still I try
(Did you try?)
Not to lie
(Not to lie?)
Not as much
(All the time?)
Because then no-one would believe
That I still try
(Do you try?)
Not to lie
(Not to lie?)
Quite as much
(Quite as much?)
Not as such!

You and I

How could I forget you?
I tried to push away the past
Oh, I should have let you
Take me away to somewhere fast
But then the years went by
The fading you and I
Oh, I should have let you
Take me away
And the stars would shine
It was you and I
Through the fog and rain
Through the darkness and the stains
And still the stars would shine
Cause it was you and I
I should never let go of your hand
I was lost in stillness
You tried to push me out of it
You said “You’re a real mess!”
You didn’t know the worst of it
And now I finally see
You standing next to me
Oh, and I will let you
Take me away
And the stars will shine
It it you and I
Through the fog and rain
Through the darkness and the stains
And still the stars will shine
Cause it is you and I
Now I’ll never let go of your hand

Turn Left

So late that it’s early
Some things don’t change
Never sleep, watch the stars
See the lights flashing by
And those tall, slender trees
From that book that I love
Follows me through the night
In the light of your car
I don’t want to arrive
Why should we get there
Why should we stop
Why should we go out
Why stick to the plan
What if we didn’t show
If we threw out the map
And just went on
He said “turn right at the crossroad
go straight ahead for only some miles
you’ll see it with ease!”
I whisper in your ear
As silent as I can
“Forget it, go left, go left, go left please!”
So late that it’s early
Good things shouldn’t change
But I thought I had lost it
That now was too late
That I was much too old
And that this was too far
Still we drive through the night
In the warmth of your car
And if they ask you
Where did they go?
Tell them tales
Tell them lies
Tell them anything but...

The Words Disappear

Don’t die on my doorstep
You hide away for far too long
You want to stay I know
Still you say you have to go
Don’t hide by the curtains
I see your feet, I know you’re there
Don’t fall apart today
There is nothing here to fear
I try to reach you!
You hide your face
Do you think that you can disappear that way?
I’m talking to you!
You turn your head
I’m so tired of these guessing games you play
I try to reach you!
You hide your face
Do you think that you can disappear that way?
I’m talking to you!
You turn your head
Sit down in my kitchen
I’ll make some coffee, settle down
Don’t think I’m always busy
These things are in your head
You got to explain things!
You say the words have disappeared
To me it makes no sense
But I’ll wait for their return
I try to reach you!
You hide your face
Do you think that you can disappear that way?
I’m talking to you!
You turn your head
I’m so tired of these guessing games you play
I try to reach you!
You hide your face
Do you think that you can disappear that way?
I’m talking to you!
You turn your head

And Then What

Funny how it used to be
I grew up with you and me
You made me fell less alone
Some of you were always home
Nights went by with me and you
(barapara barapara)
Now I don’t know what to do
(barapara barapara)
And I used to know the things you love
And I used to see the things you see
And when you called me at night I would stay
Even if, even if, even if...
And I miss to know the things you love
And I miss to see the things you see
And you don’t call me at night any more
Even though, even though...
Funny how it used to be
Though I didn’t really see
It was just a phase for you
Nothing you would always do
Now I walk the streets alone
(barapara barapara)
And somehow I should have known
(barapara barapara)
