Skyline 03:39
We're drifting away towards the horizon. It's all fading out into the skyline. So this is it? The tide's coming in for you, you, you. For you, you, you. Well now, here we go again. You're turning your back on me. It's been such a fucked up weekend. It feels like I'm moving backwards. I'm losing my baby again and there's nothing that I can do to calm down the roses. This winter will claim you. Feels like I'm on the ice and sliding downhill from you, you, you. From you, you, you. Well now, here we go again. You're turning your back on me. It's been such a fucked up weekend. It feels like I'm moving backwards. I'm losing my baby again and there's nothing that I can do. It feels like I'm moving backwards. It feels like I'm moving backwards. It feels like I'm moving backwards.

Crossroads 02:32
Look up, time really flies. Its ruthless smile on your back from the sky. Hello crossroads, I've made coffee for two. It's a fine day for a journey with you. Do you remember? Back in the day, when everything was strange, new. All the things we learnt to do. All the things we turned into. All the courses I've got on my plate have made me sit back so no decision is made. I think I've met you somewhere before, when we were younger, don't you recall? Do you remember? Back in the day, when everything was strange, new. All the things we learnt to do. Do you remember? Back in the day, when we did dumb things that we never should have done. Boy, did we have some fun.

Gamechanger 03:26
That was it, the gamechanger. I'm having fun in ways I never have. I'm falling down, deeply, like a sinking stone, to the bottom of my heart and it might just be the start of me getting to the end of things. There's no need to talk, our hearts have spoken. There's nothing we can do. Mine and yours, our hearts have spoken. There's nothing we can do but be together. I don't mind that it's changing me. I've got more gold than I could ever hope to find. I'm falling down, deeply, like a sinking stone, to the bottom of my heart and it might just be the start of me getting to the end of things. There's no need to talk, our hearts have spoken. There's nothing we can do. Mine and yours, our hearts have spoken. There's nothing we can do. There's nothing we can do but be together.

Overlooked 02:55
I'm all alone. No one there to wake up with at home. I'm on my own, looks as if I'll be so when I'm old. Yes, I'm lonely, no matter how hard I try not be. Why won't they ever see a shy blue boy like me? I've been looking everywhere. Where are you? I'll make you laugh. Whatever you've lost I'll bring it back. I'll make you feel good and treat you the way that you wish they would. It's no use though, what you're looking for I'll never know. Why won't they ever see a shy blue boy like me? I've been looking everywhere. Where are you? Why won't they ever see a shy blue boy like me? I guess I'll never know. Where are you?

Across the sea, a place I'd one like to settle in. Free from boundaries that keep me home. One time there and I was sold. Surrounding me, trees I've never gotten used to see. Keeping what I've cherished all along, the golden evenings of the north. Someday I'll go back to Stockholm, Stockholm, and I'll stay there, and I'll stay there. Someday I'll go back to Stockholm, Stockholm, and I'll stay there, and I'll stay there. Pure serenity, I can feel it coming over me. I do admit that I'm escaping things that brought me stress and nothing else. Someday I'll go back to Stockholm, Stockholm, and I'll stay there, and I'll stay there. Someday I'll go back to Stockholm, Stockholm, and I'll stay there, and I'll stay there. And I'll stay there, and I'll stay there.

Sér um sig 03:26
Þú gerir mig vitlausan og hverfur síðan frá mér. Vofa sem ég sé um nótt, endrum og eins yfir árin. Ég fann þig loksins aftur. En þú rannst mér úr greipum og hvarfst mér úr sýn. Reikar þinn hugur stundum til mín þegar þú ert ein og stjörnurnar kalla á þig? Hver fer sína leið og sér um sig. Þú gerir mig vitlausan og hverfur síðan frá mér. Vofa sem ég sé um nótt, endrum og eins yfir árin. Ég fraus þegar færi gafst og týndi mínu hjarta. Brá mér frá í andartak, svo flugu burt stundir bjartar. Ég brann út á tíma og drap í þeim glóðum sem þú kveiktir í. Reikar þinn hugur stundum til mín þegar þú ert ein og stjörnurnar kalla á þig? Hver fer sína leið og sér um sig.

There's a building that looks over the whole city and it sets the rules for me and you. Intimidating walls of stone, impenetrable doors of gold, in the ministry of love. In the ministry of love. Trying to tame this impulsive feeling. Trying to direct the flames of heaven. I've no control, so I wonder how and if you people do. Chained in and following the fashion of today. Of today, of today. Is it accepted by the judgement of the masses? Keeping in order what you think. Something that won't be contained, written in my soul and veins, in the ministry of love. In the ministry of love. Trying to tame this impulsive feeling. Trying to direct the flames of heaven. I've no control, so I wonder how and if you people do. Chained in and following the fashion of today. Of today, of today. Trying to tame this impulsive feeling. Trying to direct the flames of heaven. I've no control, so I wonder how and if you people do. Brain dead, I wonder if you've ever truly known. Truly known, truly known, truly known, truly known.

Sweetheart 02:26
When you're feeling tired of all the rain falling on your shoulders, echoing your state. When did you go astray and lose sight of your way? It seems so very short since you were on top. But there's no need to worry if you promise me too, that when it's time for you, it's time for me too. Well you see, though I have not yet found you, it doesn't mean I won't do. Messed up, little sweetheart. When you're feeling distant and shrouded by mist. You fear you've been left out and the ones you had you've missed. When did your friends go and leave you here alone? It seems so very short since you had it all. Well you see, though I have not yet found you, it doesn't mean I won't do. Messed up, little sweetheart.

Coastline 02:36
Open up your eyes to the morning light. Alongside your best friend, you're on your way again. Write memories on a stone. We head out to the unknown. I've got all the things I need. In tone, you feel yourself being healed. And we drive on by down the coastline. The sun follows our every way. I've never felt so good and if I could I would stay here forever, where time is standing still. Your self-esteem is as high as it's ever been and you know you should better, know you've never looked no better. Swim inside the waves. Our worries wash away and on the sand just lie, lie and close your eyes. Well happiness is in hand. You've got sun, sand, singing and dance. Here are all the things you want. By songs, you're brought closer to your god. And we drive on by down the coastline. The sun follows our every way. I've never felt so good and if I could I would stay here forever, where time is standing still. Your self-esteem is as high as it's ever been and you know you should better, know you've never looked no better. Your self-esteem is as high as it's ever been and you know you should better, know you've never looked no better.

Reflections 03:29
I'll be resting in the treetops. I'll be sailing in the wind, bear the scent of the rainbow. I'll be warm like the sun. I'll be strong like the sunshine. White sand warm by your skin. Through clouds, rays get within. I'll be thinking of you. I'll be sleeping with the mountains. I'll be hiding with the lake, wear the scent of the forest. I'll be calm like the moon. I'll be soft like the moonlight. Branches tell and share their tales. Behind, stars start to play. I'll be thinking of you.
