For Life, Album lyrics:
Real Deal
Why can’t you look at me that way?
Through years and years
I’ve been hoping for love to come my way
Lesson learned, no it’s not today
But I can jump into a car and drive pretty far
I can run real, real fast in a short, short time
I can throw a ball more than one foot
I can almost look straight into the sun
I’m the real deal
There’s a feeling I can’t ignore
When love comes around
It is always much easier to not let anyone see you
But just let me through
Have I told you
That I can jump into a car and drive pretty far
I can run real, real fast a short, short time
I can throw a ball more than one foot
I can almost look straight into the sun
I’m the real deal
For Life
Why does my face turn black when I look at you?
What have you done?
What have I seen?
Why does my face turn black when I look at you?
What have you done?
What have I seen?
Left you behind
Yet you still plague my mind
You’re still here
Guess some people stick for life
I know your eyes turn red when you’re not in the spotlight
You feel unseen
You’re like a child
You never realize you’re always in the spotlight
You’re like a teen
We’re losing time
Left you behind
Yet you still plague my mind
You’re still here
Guess some people stick for life
It could be unwound
If the future is kind
You’re still here
Will you still be here?
Her Goodbye
Her goodbye
She lies awake
She’s scared
All that she knew is gone
Tries to hold on to all
And keep her hope locked in a jar
All safe and strong
She is lost
Faking a smile
Stuck in between childhood and gravity
One day she plays at school
But when she goes to bed
The darkness takes control
Who am I?
Who am I now?
Just a child
She’s forced to see
There’s no safety or will not be
When she grows up, she’ll know
What it was that made her lose
And fall through the floor
Who am I?
Who am I now?
Date, Someone
Hi, I’ll take a beer
What are you gonna have and what’s your name?
Are you the one that likes balloons and flowers
Or are you the guy with the son?
Who am I searching for?
This jungle is too thick for me to know
Is the romance gone?
With all the choices
Are we able to settle down?
Hi, let’s judge each other by a picture and a few small lines
I know you’re in a hurry
And you wonder if the grass is greener on the other side
Who am I searching for?
This jungle is too thick for me to know
Is the romance gone?
With all the choices
Are we able to settle down?
No One
There she is
I see her through the window
Always alone
Using the TV as her plus one
Sometimes I see her cry
She’s not like us
Who’s got someone
No one
No one to talk to
No one to fall asleep with, no one
No one that holds her
No one that comforts her
No one to make plans with
No one to go out with
No one
There they are
I see them through the window
Oh, what a life
They eat dinner and then kiss goodnight
Sometimes I start to cry
I’m not like them
Who’s got someone
No one
No one to talk to
No one to fall asleep with, no one
No one that holds her
No one that comforts her
No one to make plans with
No one to go out with
No one
There she is
I see her through the window
Hours go by
It’s like she’s frozen and too tired to try
Sometimes I feel like calling
To ask her out
And help her from falling
No one
No one to talk to
No one to fall asleep with, no one
No one that holds her
No one that comforts her
No one to make plans with
No one to go out with
No one
Where I rest
At peace by the sea
Nowhere else to be
Let the hours go
And just surrender
When my soul is searching
Or my heart is in ache
This place will heal, it’s home
I might be alone but here
I never care
I feel embraced
This place is where I’m at ease
The time from now until it all began
It all exists here
It all belongs here
We are one
Love Your Garden
I’ve waited way too long now
Time to get up
Your life’s passing through
No one will come and rescue
You must love your garden
To sow the first grass
Then to add life’s colors
Planting the flowers
But you must water them
And keep them happy
I wish I one day realize
I can never, never, never go back
I wish I one day realize
I can never, never, never go back
Never, never, never, never
I want to dedicate
I need to keep my focus and my glow
Keep my anxiety in check
And go with the flow
To sow the first grass
Then to add life’s colors
Planting the flowers
But you must water them
And keep them happy
Never, never, never, never
Why
Why am I here?
It’s seems as if you don’t care
You think you’re in control but you’re not
You can cut your lawn once or twice
But the grass will never stop to grow
Your eyes on me
But you don’t allow yourself to really see
I think I’m in control but I’m not
Want to set myself free but at the same time
My heart screams life jacket on, safety first
Why can’t you see me?
Igen och igen
Du sa: Jag har hittat hem
Dina ögon var så lugna
Och som du älskar
Och som hon älskar
Igen och igen
Väljer jag dig
Igen och igen
Igen och igen
Väljer jag dig
Igen och igen
En värme som fattats oss
Kom igen med dig
Och som du älskar
Och som han älskar
Igen och igen
Väljer jag dig
Igen och igen
Igen och igen
Väljer jag dig
Igen och igen
Tänk att jag fick just dig
En tår faller längs kinden
Handen som ömt fångar upp
Det var ju jag som fick dig
Igen och igen
Väljer jag dig
Igen och igen

Resting Spirit, Album lyrics:
Resting Spirit
Wanna throw all phones into the wall, and try to live in the now
Meet peoples eyes and say hello, and try to listen to the sounds
Take control over my mind
Take the time, make all days kind
Not bite of more then one can chew
Save my heart so I see you
Barefoot in the grass again, I miss myself, afraid to fall down
Try to love the woman that I am, though I’m single with no child
Take control over my mind
Take the time, make all days kind
Not bite of more then one can chew
Save my heart so I see you
Resting spirit, it is time to take fight
It’s now or never, Lisa will come back to life
Sitting in the sun with you for hours, here I’m me, you’re for loan
Then the bubble breaks, the sky gets cloudy, you’ll stand up, walk away
Take control over my mind
Take the time, make all days kind
Not bite of more then one can chew
Save my heart so I see you
Resting spirit, it is time to take the fight
It’s now or never, Lisa will come back to life
Sandviken
Walk down the street where I ran of on dad
Rowdy and fast, just 2-years old
The fact that I was to young to speak was not a thing, when I found an elevator
Went up and down, met to old ladies, they gave me a whistle pipe, and I was fine
My dad was not, he went across the town to find his child
Scars
There´s something wrong, where are we going?
She is lost, with nowhere to go
Who are you, what will you do, and when is it over?
Trembling like a leaf, see if I can run, wonder if he knows that I got life
He’s bigger, he's better, then what am I?
Bruises, scars so deep you can not see, the hole he made in her, he made in her
We’re fighting battles among ourselves
You feel small, did I do wrong?
Was it something I said or did?
Oh no, it’s not you, it’s never you
Time to think ahead, time to make a change
Let the whole world know that we got life
It’s over, it’s over now
Bruises, scars so deep you can not see, the hole he made in us, he made in me
We’re fighting battles among ourselves
Never Ask For More
You inspire me, you who fled from a war and then manage to start a new life
You who lost your true love, but refuse to close that door for good
You who lost a parent or got left behind
You who work all day and night to heal another person, and never ask for nothing in return
You make me struggle
Never ask for more, never ask for more, never ask for more, never ask for more
Never ask for more, never ask for more, never ask for more, never ask for more
Never ask for more, never ask for more, never ask for more, never ask for more
Keep it Real
Walk away from you ’cause I don’t have a choice, no
Won’t show my tears or the knife that stabbed my heart, no
Why is it, that when I’m able to see another, you’re lurking your way back in
Work on persuading every inch of my body now
The love songs will not be about us, no
I’m now as done as I could be
I gotta start keep it real
keep it real
I’ve been possessed but now I’m not, so you can let me be
Turn of the movies where they walk into the sunset, happily ever after
I know that you are not the one for me, no
My heart is free, I leave the troubles now
I can’t believe it’s time to go
The love songs will not be about us, no
I know that I deserve much more then you could ever give
I’m now so strong that I can break the pattern and focus on me
I can see whomever I want, you don’t get to care
Now I’ver persuaded every inch of my body
The love songs will not be about us
I’m now as done as I could be
I gotta start keep it real
keep it real
Just Wanna Be
Don’t wanna be adult today
Wanna call a friend and say: let’s play
Run around and laugh a lot, cancel everything I got
Wish I could cuddle up in mothers lap, and feel safe and small again
Hold my father tight, he drives his bike, I am safe behind
Our family in a caravan
I close my eyes and I’m there again
The long summer mornings on our porch, the smell
Seeking for more days like that, wanna run as fast as I can
Tomorrow I can be grown-up again
My childhood friend was here to stay
Still get together laugh and play
She really is my family
Grown-up or not, we still are we
I miss the part then life was free, it felt so easy just to be
A few years from now I’ll see, that now I’m building memories
Our family in a caravan
I close my eyes and I’m there again
The long summer mornings on our porch, the smell
Seeking for more days like that, wanna run as fast as I can
Tomorrow I can be grown-up again
Clouds
The clouds are moving faster then before
It feels as if the sky welcomes a storm
And we’re not safe anymore
There’s no place to go
The ocean drowns an echo of a scream
There’s no one listening, feels like it’s a dream
And we’re not safe anymore
There’s no place to go
There stands a person who forgot how to be nice
He’s oh so self-absorbed, believes that he is God
Refuses to realise what We are
He only sees himself
The worlds must be saved
A woman with a child begging for help
A lonesome man that’s grieving, he lost himself
We’re not safe anymore
There’s no place to go
There stands a person who forgot how to be nice
He’s oh so self-absorbed, believes that he is God
Refuses to realise what We are
He only sees himself
The worlds must be saved
One Day Left
If your mouth had one day left to speak, what are the words?
Would you fill your laughs with broken dreams, or choose the good ones?
Take your first step, take your last step, but concentrate on those in between
Give your first kiss, give your last kiss but let your lips love more then that
If your eyes had one day left to see, would the remember:
The see, the trees, your love, the sun, When you close your eyes what’s there?
All open doors are there to go through
Some doors won’t open until you push yourself through
If you knew that tomorrow your life’s door would close
Would you open your heart
To say the words you never dare to speak out loud
Try not to leave with regret
Take your first step, take your last step, but concentrate on those in between
Give your first kiss, give your last kiss but let your lips love more then that
