Desert angels in the predatory sun
And I've nowhere left to hide Nighttime calls me long before the day is done And I'm swept up by the tide I got lost inside the vortex of our souls Still you blamed me when I finally lost control Now I'm stuck with what I borrowed, what I stole But it's alright Hold tight Nothing's in our way tonight 'cause This time Death is certain but We'll be fine in the end This time This time Baby, we'll make sure to transcend Just a prisoner of planetary laws Trying hard to make ends meet Don't you worry girl, I know I got my flaws But I'll get back on my feet I've been everywhere but don't know where to go Chasing shadows as I'm drawn from down below Now I'm stuck with what I borrowed, what I stole But it's alright Hold tight Nothing's in our way tonight 'cause This time Death is certain but We'll be fine in the end This time This time Baby, we'll make sure to transcend 02. Turn To Miami Music by Sebastian Forslund, David Andersson Lyrics by Sebastian Forslund, David Andersson, Björn Strid
It's an hour past midnight
And you're driving 'round the block We'll be chasing our heartaches And you needed to be safe to know And so whatever you'll do with it You'll come back even stronger You've got the power, so use it Don't wait any longer Then you turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Do you really think you want to play this game? Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn When you think it will be safe it will go away Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn You still control the fire within my heart Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Well, the night is young This is where we start, this is where we start Now we thought we could be lovers It was as easy as can be On that night we would discover All the tears flooding the streets. But I know I know you're planning to roll with it You'll come back even stronger You've got the power, so use it Don't wait any longer Then you turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Do you really think you want to play this game? Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn When you think it will be safe it will go away Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn You still control the fire within my heart Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Well, the night is young This is where we start Lights out, Not a single angel on the interstate tonight Hold on, I can't shake the feeling that we'll never get it right This time, Seeing is believing and I'm holding on for life You know, You're all I ever wanted but I just can't win this fight As you turn, turn, turn Then you turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Do you really think you want to play this game? Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn When you think it will be safe it will go away Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn You still control the fire within my heart Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Well, the night is young This is where we start 03. Paralyzed Music & lyrics by David Andersson
Hey baby
I can't lose the thought of you From the morning 'til the night comes Tell me what's a man to do Hey baby All those lonely sleepless nights I can't help but think there's got to be a way to Make it right Now I'm lost beneath the California sun And I wish I could go back and if I could then I would run There's a touch of you that lingers Like your skin beneath my fingers And I need you now before I come undone It's just the way, love has got me paralyzed Just like the way, love can set me free It's just the way, I can make you realise 'Cause baby I know, you're the one for me Hey baby I was only passing by I was drinking with a stranger when your beauty caught My eye Hey baby When I saw you in the crowd I was doing what I should but still my head was in the clouds Now I'm lost beneath the California sun And I wish I could go back and if I could then I would run There's a touch of you that lingers Like your skin beneath my fingers And I need you now before I come undone It's just the way, love has got me paralyzed Just like the way, love can set me free It's just the way, I can make you realise 'Cause baby I know, you're the one for me 04. Sometimes The World Ain't Enough Music & lyrics by David Andersson
Were you ever on the outside
Waiting for promises Were you ever on the outside Catching a glimpse Were you ever so in love You don't care what it takes Were you ever so in love That if the whole thing was a dream You'd rather die than stay awake And in her face There's no regret I'm just one more mistake That she will soon forget Sometimes the world ain't enough And in her eyes I see no tears There's just this emptiness That I have come to fear Sometimes the world ain't enough Sometimes the world ain't enough Were you ever on the outside Waiting for openings Were you ever on the outside Looking in Were you ever so in love You don't care what it takes Were you ever so in love That if the whole thing was a dream You'd rather die than stay awake And in her face There's no regret I'm just one more mistake That she will soon forget Sometimes the world ain't enough And in her eyes I see no tears There's just this emptiness That I have come to fear Sometimes the world ain't enough Sometimes the world ain't enough 05. Moments Of Thunder Music & lyrics by David Andersson
Ain't it funny how love rushes in
Like a fool you don't know where to stop Or begin Is it the truth? Or illusions you kept Like remnants of youth I've been trying to keep love away Never knew what to do, how to make someone stay But since you came I don't care anymore And I know who's to blame These are the moments of thunder These are the times Out of the blue, lightning strikes These are the moments of thunder These are the times of our lives Don't you worry 'Bout a thing Magic's waiting To begin Ain't it funny how death closes in When you think of the end It's about to begin If you were mine All the dreams that I kept They'd be yours anytime These are the moments of thunder These are the times Out of the blue, lightning strikes These are the moments of thunder These are the times of our lives Don't you worry 'Bout a thing Magic's waiting To begin 06. Speedwagon Music by Sebastian Forslund Lyrics by David Andersson, Sebastian Forslund
She's got the kind of eyes you just can't ignore
She wears an evening dress and floats through the door And then she nails me with that ebony gaze I'd try escaping but I know it's too late On and on She's all I never needed Chase is on I am in a speedwagon Racing through the empty night Speedwagon Blinded by the city lights No matter what she says I believe it Every heart she breaks I can feel it Speedwagon Racing through the empty night She is the goddess of the Saturday moon Or just a demon high on gasoline fumes I know I'm losing but I'm under her spell Just burning rubber on a freeway to hell On and on She's all I never needed Chase is on I am in a speedwagon Racing through the empty night Speedwagon Blinded by the city lights No matter what she says I believe it Every heart she breaks I can feel it Speedwagon Racing through the empty night 07. Lovers In The Rain Music & lyrics by David Andersson
Lovers in the rain
Oblivious to pain When the dreaming ends Will we still be the same? I remember how my heart was aching Held your picture with my hands still shaking And I know that when you're gone My love will still remain But I Won't give up Won't give in Maybe tonight it all begins And I Won't let go We're the same Maybe tomorrow never knows Like lovers in the rain Silent like the wind Quench the thirst within Now is all we have And it's a losing game I remember how my heart was aching Held your picture with my hands still shaking And I know that when you're gone My love will still remain But I Won't give up Won't give in Maybe tonight it all begins And I Won't let go We're the same Maybe tomorrow never knows Like lovers in the rain 08. Can't Be That Bad Music & lyrics by Björn Strid
Only for a moment I thought
I thought a saw a ghost You were walking down On that freeway With your necklace and a dying rose And it tends to be, how you endlessly Really have a grip on my mind And it runs with me, it never leaves me Have some faith and waste your time No it can't be that bad to feel that good Lady you know now it's understood When we can't make a change 'Cause you know I would Over the river and through the woods Tonight, when the wrongs are right Once I saw your visions fail I knew I had a chance You were looking out For your freedom But your paradise was surely here When it rains it pours And you knew it took A bit more than just our love And you run with me, you'll never leave me Have some faith and waste your time You wouldn't stand a chance If I would break your heart in this cold cold world Cold cold world I will not stand here as I'm sure to be the one who will say Have some faith and waste your time No it can't be that bad to feel that good Lady you know now it's understood When we can't make a change 'Cause you know I would Over the river and through the woods Tonight? when the wrongs are right It is time... 09. Pretty Thing Closing In Music & lyrics by David Andersson
Is it the heat of your presence that makes me sweat?
And tells me that this ain't over yet Or just the weight of your gaze, the way it scans the room That tells me I won't be leaving soon I've had my fair share of heartaches but make no mistake Tonight there's nothing left to break The way you move to the rhythm with your feline grace Like fireworks exploding into space She said it can't be love Just a pretty thing closing in You know it can't be love Just a pretty thing closing in I've made a deal with the devil, but your lilac scent Makes me believe you're heaven sent And if it's all an illusion, baby I don't mind We'll get the real world left behind She said it can't be love Just a pretty thing closing in You know it can't be love Just a pretty thing closing in Pretty thing, you're closing in Don't care where you've been I know I, I need you tonight Pretty thing, you're closing in And she's whispering I know I, I need you tonight Pretty thing, you're closing in Underneath my skin I know I, I need you tonight Pretty thing, you're closing in Somewhere deep within I know I, I need you tonight 10. Barcelona Music & lyrics by David Andersson
Passion led me down into the dirty side of town
Where she took my world and gently turned it upside down Barcelona wrapped herself around what I had left Showed me that there was a way to fall in love Without regrets Taking off Into another starless space Taking off 'Cause now I'm sure that no one else will take your place How I need you Barcelona You're my lady from the city in the clouds When I see you Barcelona I just can't stop dreaming 'Bout the way it used to be Say you're never leaving me again If I ever could retrieve the words I never said If I ever could revive the trust I never had Barcelona, once you wrap me in your space dyed dress Maybe I'll ensure you this time there are no sins to confess Taking off Into another starless space Taking off 'Cause now I'm sure that no one else will take your place How I need you Barcelona You're my lady from the city in the clouds When I see you Barcelona I just can't stop dreaming 'Bout the way it used to be Say you're never leaving me again 11. Winged And Serpentine Music & lyrics by David Andersson
And on the outside wheels keep moving
And from the outside nothing's changed Yet in the distance something's brewing And I can't help but feel estranged Now I can hear those wings still beating Just like my heart when taking off And I don't know where this is leading But I'll make sure I'll bring my love Some other day I'll find a way to Get out of the light and into your heart Some other day clouds roll away Just waiting to begin again my love If it feels like the perfect show Baby let go Just like a landslide things keep moving Our love is winged and serpentine I've seen your dark sides Strange and brooding You're still the ghost in my machine Some other day I'll find a way to Get out of the light and into your heart Some other day clouds roll away Just waiting to begin again my love If it feels like the perfect show Baby let go I'm not waiting for the memories to flood me I've felt it all before Not expecting the impossible to love me I just want something more Some other day I'll find a way to Get out of the light and into your heart Some other day clouds roll away Just waiting to begin again my love If it feels like the perfect show Baby let go 12. The Last Of The Independent Romantics Music & lyrics by David Andersson
She waited there at the edge of town
Her hair in a mess and a silken gown We'd spent a year planning our escape And sworn that we'd be the first to not look down, never down She looked at me like we never had met Her eyes were hope with a slight regret Her hand in mine was shivering cold But I felt her strength as she said: "I won't look down, never down" Space beyond measure Our souls entwined, and standing on the edge Lord, how I'd missed her And the static of her love inside my head I never needed those remnants of a life we left behind But when I saw her, I knew she was approaching the divine And as we took the leap, she locked her starry gaze with mine And with her eyes she showed me all my dreams without a sound As our hearts went swirling giving in to gravity She said: "Not even death will ever be the end of you and me" Ain't it peculiar the strangest things can turn your life around Her radiation invisible like love that comes unbound And as we took the leap, she locked her starry gaze with mine And with her eyes she showed me all my dreams without a sound As our hearts went swirling giving in to gravity She said: "Not even death will ever be the end of you and me" Don't speak, I know you're there The calm of your prescence, the weight of your stare I've felt your suffering Your dreams taking flight in, the absence of wings At last we're all alone We'll carry each other into the unknown Stay close, illuminate The part of me the dark has yet to take Don't you worry 'bout the future Times like these weren't meant to last But I'll cherish you forever and this moment is eternal Just like everything must pass |
