Spending most of the day wondering how high we can get And how long it will take until we hit the ground I haven’t been to so many places which are closer to heaven than this Feels like I could touch the clouds So I had myself another cup of coffee While I was sitting in the sun, thinking to myself How lucky I could feel How good life has been to me Chorus: There will come a day when you will see What being alive really means You’ll never find out what’s in store Until you go there on your own It’s worth every step, it ain’t all that bad I was way out of my comfort zone, far from feeling good But I have to admit and agree with you, I still had a good time And while I was walking around these snow covered trails Learning about your life, from your mothers point of view And then we got ourselves another cup of coffee While we were sitting in the sun, saying to each other How lucky we could feel How good life has been to us Chorus Chorus

Here I am, stranded at this crossroad, not knowing where to go Should I go back to where I came from Should I try something different and new Or should I stay and make a deal and sell my soul Chorus: I miss those days of joy and friendship The times when we were travelling the world I don’t belong here and I don’t fit in I am a stranger among other strangers Found the love of my life, unexpectedly I would never have if I didn’t get here So you could call me lucky and I would agree But still there’s something bothering me Chorus Bridge: I don’t want to fix all of your failures There are times I want to be the one Who does it right, for the very first time But then I see you 6-2 moral Which doesn’t make any sense to me I don’t fit, I don’t fit in, I don’t fit in, I don’t fit in I don’t fit in! Chorus

Fly across the ocean on an aeroplane Going on vaccation in a foreign land Outside the world’s on fire And everywhere I go I feel that we're Living in a sick society Where everyone’s so selfish And jealous about their neighbors And we all have a grudge against each other There used to be a natural selection But it looks like Darwin was wrong Survival of the dumbest is todays reality Chorus: How long do we carry on living our lives like this How long will it take to see our own misery It’s time to change or minds, and change our way of life Before there is nothing left to change For more than half a century We told each and everyone We learned our lessons well And won’t make the same mistake again Well it didn’t last so long So if you take a look around these days You see a lot of hate But when you’re looking for love, it’s very hard to find You can’t have mine if you don’t have yours Leave me alone, I can’t help you with your problems Did we stop to help the ones in need? It’s not the world I wanna be Chorus Bridge: Who are you afraid of (3x) Outro: People come in to this land with nothing but their clothes on They don’t speak your langugage, they don’t have any friends You say they came to steal your job, your house, and even your girlfriends There is something wrong here, they’re not the ones to blame The old days that you miss so much are never coming back Good will conquer evil! Good will conquer evil! Good will conquer evil!

Wild Places 03:42
Here I am still standing With my arms open wide My heart is beating out of time I want to ease my mind Looking all around me Catching my breath My brain is trying to understand What my eyes are trying to say Chorus: Wild, wide places This is where I feel at home Wild, wide places This is where I want to go A backpack full of memories Is the only thing I need I’m stockpiling keepsakes Of everything I’ve seen Chorus Chorus: Wild, wide places (3x) This is where I feel at home This is where I want to go

It's Alright 03:50
I walk through the city, around me thousand lights The moon looks down upon me, shines into my eyes And it’s alright, it’s alright I don’t know where I’m going, but I sure know where I’ve been Maybe I stay right here, never return Cause it’s alright, it’s alright Chorus: I got a picture in my pocket of all the ones I love The colors may be fading but I still miss you the same Wherever I’m going, wherever I may roam Wherever I will lay my weary head down for a rest It’s alright I traveled around the world and I saw many places Met so many people, some in strange situations, But I felt alright, I felt alright Some tell me that they are jealous about the way I live my life But just like there are two sides of a story, There is black and there is white But it’s alright, it’s alright Chorus Chorus Bridge No matter how many days you spend in the dark And try to hide from the world No matter how many times you said that you’re quitting And you give yourself another chance Always keep in mind that better days are coming And in the end it’ll be alright

Chorus: If you want to get lost in my arms tonight, I’ll be right there I’ll keep you warm in a world which has decided to turn cold Take my hand and I’ll never let you go ‘Cause you’re the one I want to see when I’m old It feels like I OD’ed a thousand times on bad decisions Cause I couldn’t tell you wrong from right, even if it’s right before my eyes But this time I have the feeling that it’s gonna turn out right Maybe tonight could be the night Chorus We spent the better part of the weekend, side by side Took a walk along the river with the sun shining so bright I can stare a lifetime into your green eyes So familiar, so sublime Chorus Chorus

Isolation 03:26
Quarantined for weeks, starring at these walls Got nowhere to go, got no one to talk When every day's the same, what difference does it make People getting more and more insane Chorus: I need to run away from here Wanna leave these prison walls Wanna wake up from this nightmare That seems to never end They're refusing to wear a mask, they are hiding behind anyway Stacking up on toilet paper for doomsday Nothing really changes, everything's the same People getting more and more insane Chorus

I’m tired of all these cigarettes and the drinks I drink only to get drunk I’m sick of all the troubles I get myself in each and every day Without any reason “I’m gonna fix this mess tomorrow” it’s what I always say But I have the feeling; I’m running out of days Chorus: The glass is never half full nor half empty It’s just twice the size that it should be Sometimes my life feels like a test I haven’t practiced for So I’m trying to make the most of it As long as I can I have asked a Whiskey glass a hundred million questions But I never got an answer which made sense I finally stopped asking and took it as it came There are things in life you cannot change Chorus Bridge: Sometime it seems the best of me is still standing at the station Waiting for a train that’s long gone Or won’t ever come at all

Rain 04:07
Woke up to another day, that someone gave to me Who I never met I know I shouldn’t take it all for granted, but I can’t help myself 'Cause it don’t make any sense to me So I waste another moment in my life That I cannot regret Chorus: I cannot tell you how it feels 'Cause I’ve never seen it in my life This is the only place, I’ve ever been And it hasn’t rained here in quite a while It doesn’t rain here after all I see the people come and go, arriving here from places I have never heard This seems to be one of lifes greatest mysteries The ones that want to get away, are stuck here their whole life The ones that stuck in their life Come here looking for salvation Chorus Bridge: I stopped counting the days I begged these clouds for rain Just a little bit, to make this place alive For just one day or two
10.
I can still remember The time when we met You had me with the first words That you said The laughter about your stories Is still echoing in my ears The drinks we shared, the smokes we had Unforgetable C-Part: In a blink of an eye, the whole world can change And in a blink of an eye, nothing stays the same Chorus: And all of the things I want became worthless And all of the things I saw made me helpless And I can’t find my way back home I don’t want to accept that you’re gone I still hear your voice inside my head When I can’t find my way back home We’re begging for tomorrow When all we have is today We’re looking for answers For the things we can’t explain C-Part Chorus
