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

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

When The Sun Will Set
05:29
|

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

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

As Long As I Can
03:47
|
|||
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

Can't Find My Way
04:44
|
|||
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
