Where Have You Gone?

Where have you gone, my love?
I forget where we last met.
Do clouds form when the stars shine,
the stars above your head?
Where did you go, my love
when you tore her heart in two?
She cried an ocean for you
to sail away on.
I keep banging my head against the same wall
I’m trying to knock it down, love.
For a minute I thought you would be mine,
be mine, love.
A second later I lost what we had
I lost it all.
Remember when we ran off
and lost ourselves in sin?
We took all of our clothes off.
Oh, what fun that would have been.
I keep banging my head against the same wall
I’m trying to knock it down, love.
For a minute I thought you would be mine,
be mine, love.
A second later I lost what we had
I lost it all.
Our hearts are burried in the sand now
along with all of our plans, love.
Where have you gone, my love?
I wish I could marry you.
But now I can’t find where I
burried our hearts and I cannot find you.
For a minute I thought you would be mine,
be mine, love.
A second later I lost what we had´
I lost it all.
Our hearts are burried in the sand now
along with all of our plans, love.
For a minute I thought you would be mine.

Are You Flying?

It's hard to say how
many days must
go by for you to fly.
It's hard to know how
and I don't know, but
all the others might.
How many times will you try?
How many hours will go by?
I know you want to go higher.
Are you flying? Are you flying, love?
Are you flying? Are you flying now?
They said you could not
jump on the clouds, but
now you're flying, love.
The sky's the limit.
Go past the limit, run.
You're an astronaut.
How many times will you try?
How many hours will go by?
I know you want to go higher.
Are you flying? Are you flying, love?
Are you flying? Are you flying now?

Dinnertime Stories
03:35
|

|
I’ve started to feel worried lately
‘cos my dreams are coming closer
and I can no longer only dream.
Everything was simpler
back when reality was distant
now it’s knocking on our door.
Recently I’ve found
I’m in a little bit of peace
so if you find yourself
come visit me.
There’s no place like home
and there’s this city that I love.
When you find the time
let’s remember we’re alive.
No matter how cruel the world turns out to be
always remember that there is
beauty, love and peace.
Close to impossible to think
of all the new things I could write
in the pages of a new book.
Let’s go out and pay too much for dinner
and ramble on
because we live for those dinnertime stories.
Tell me your stories.
Recently I’ve found
I’m in a little bit of peace
so if you find yourself
come visit me.
There’s no place like home
and there’s this city that I love.
When you find the time
let’s remember we’re alive.
No matter how dull your days turn out to be
always remember that we live
for dinnertime stories.

We Will Run
04:57

You go to bed at night and fall asleep on top of the world
and now you tell me all is fine.
Don't lie.
You've tied yourself down.
Leave it to me to figure this out
because I know you are terrified of rewinds.
Don't cry.
Don't tie yourself down.
We will run
far away this time.
I don't know where we're running to or where we will end up,
but I know we'll have stories to speak of.
We'll have stories to tell, my love.
We may get lost from time to time.
We may get hurt and we may die.
Don't cry.
We won't be tied down.
Do you see the birds in the sky?
See how freely they all fly?
You smile.
I love to see you smiling.
We will run
far away this time.
I don't know where we're running to or where we will end up,
but I know we'll have stories to speak of.
We'll have stories to tell, my love.
Wouldn't you rather have adventures, not imprisonment?
We're trying to catch the clouds and I've never seen you happier.
In there may be safe, but we're gonna die anyway.
So let's make the best of it.
You'll go to bed tonight and fall asleep on top of the world.
We will run
far away this time.
I don't know where we're running to or where we will end up,
but I know we'll have stories to speak of.
We'll have stories to tell, my love.
