Origins 03:46
Is it not lovely To think and see That every atom Of our being Lined up perfectly So that we could meet Find each other And fall in love? Do you think we come From the same dead star? Do you feel I am What you are? My dear Earthling I think that the fibres of our being Come from the same fire burning Come from the same source Even though you come from A different corner of this world I think our origins Are from the same soul Iā€™m so fucking primitive I feel it in my bones I can see your origins I feel it in my bones Iā€™ve been drawn to you In ways I have never understood There can only be one reason why We are the same light And even though you You are continents away, I I can tell our origins We are the same fire Iā€™m so fucking primitive I feel it in my bones And itā€™s so lovely To think and see That every atom Of our being Lined up perfectly So that we could meet Find each other And fall in love Do you think we come From the same dead star? Cause I think I am What you are I feel it in my bones

Andromeda 02:52
Heyo Heyo, youā€™re the brightest star In my sky and in my heart And like Andromeda and the Milky Way Soon weā€™ll crash and merge And I canā€™t wait for that day Counting down the days Counting down the time Waiting for those moments When youā€™re not so far behind So much in between us Places that arenā€™t mine I donā€™t have much patience But you donā€™t seem to mind Heyo Heyo, youā€™re the brightest star In my sky and in my heart And like Andromeda and the Milky Way Soon weā€™ll crash and merge And I canā€™t wait for that day Right now it feels that we are galaxies apart And I canā€™t wait To see your face again because You have no idea how much I miss you Heyo Heyo, youā€™re the brightest star In my sky and in my heart And like Andromeda and the Milky Way Soon weā€™ll crash and merge And I canā€™t wait for that day Soon weā€™ll crash and merge And I canā€™t wait for that day Soon weā€™ll crash and merge And I canā€™t wait for that day Soon weā€™ll crash and merge And I canā€™t wait for that day Soon weā€™ll crash and merge And I canā€™t wait for that day

Iā€™m all alone today, cleaning the mess I made ā€˜Cause I have nothing better to do, what can I do? All by myself, locked in my room What else can I do but think of you? Here I sit All alone Making music On my own While thoughts of you Swim through my head With a guitar in my hand And Rizla on my bed What can I say? I fucked up today ā€˜Cause I had nothing better to do, what else could I do? My bodyā€™s on fire, but my words are cold What else can I do but do as Iā€™m told? Where do I go when Iā€™ve got nothing to show No one to talk to and nothing to do? Everyoneā€™s gone and Iā€™m writing a song All alone all day long Here I sit All alone Making music On my own While thoughts of you Swim through my head With a guitar in my hand And green stuff in my head Green stuff in my head I have nothing to do With all this green stuff in my head

To you it must seem like I Live at the edge of the world Youā€™ve got an idea of what itā€™s like From the stories that Iā€™ve told If you donā€™t believe a word I say Why donā€™t you come here and see? I could use your company So come here to play with me I know we are going somewhere I feel it in my southern bones We are onto something right I know it in my African soul Iā€™ll say it without a care Youā€™ve hit me like a spear through the heart My apologies and congratulations Youā€™ve got yourself an African girl Feel it in my southern bones I know it in my African soul Like a spear straight through the heart Youā€™ve got yourself an African girl I want you to come and see The lights of Johannesburg Come on, my love, have no fear We can party amongst the dirt Forgive me for being so forward Thatā€™s just how we do things here I just want your company so Come on, what ya waiting for? I know we are going somewhere I feel it in my southern bones We are onto something right I know it in my African soul Iā€™ll say it without a care Youā€™ve hit me like a spear through the heart My apologies and congratulations Youā€™ve got yourself an African girl Feel it in my southern bones I know it in my African soul Like a spear straight through the heart Youā€™ve got yourself an African girl Feel it in my southern bones I know it in my African soul Like a spear straight through the heart Youā€™ve got yourself an African girl Feel it in my southern bones I know it in my African soul Like a spear straight through the heart Youā€™ve got yourself an African girl

Follow Me 04:07
Here, on this Earth Where salt meets sand and sand meets sky And sky meets land and land sets alight I have to say That Iā€™ve never met anyone quite like you Who can look at me and send me into the blue But you, you wonā€™t Wonā€™t cooperate with me even though I know everything and you best follow me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Follow me down this yellow brick road And Iā€™ll show you a side of me that nobody knows Follow me down this rabbit hole And Iā€™ll stand on my head until up we go Youā€™ve never met anyone crazy like me Wonā€™t you help me pass the insanity Wonā€™t you please be everything and more to me Here, on this Earth Where salt meets sand and sand meets sky And sky meets land and land sets alight I have to say That Iā€™ve probably felt this way before But then you came along and sent me into the blue And you, you donā€™t Have to cooperate with me even though I know everything and you best follow me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Follow me down this yellow brick road And Iā€™ll show you a side of me that nobody knows Follow me down this rabbit hole And Iā€™ll stand on my head until up we go Youā€™ve never met anyone crazy like me Wonā€™t you help me pass the insanity Wonā€™t you please be everything and more to me Follow me down this yellow brick road And Iā€™ll show you a side of me that nobody knows Follow me down this rabbit hole And Iā€™ll stand on my head until up we go Youā€™ve never met anyone crazy like me Wonā€™t you help me pass the insanity Wonā€™t you please be everything and more to me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me

The Best 04:11
Sorry to bother you but youā€™re in my head And some things shouldnā€™t ever be left unsaid So before the world crashes down and everything ends I want you to know that I think youā€™re the best But no one ever told me that this is how itā€™s done I am the rain and you are the sun Look at all the colours that we create Forgive my cliche, but this is fate Iā€™m sorry that you get whatā€™s left of me I was naive and wasted all my energy Had I known I would have waited for you And FYI I am, in fact, in love with you But no one ever told me that this is how itā€™s done I am the rain and you are the sun And I love all the colours that we create Forgive my cliche, but this is fate FYI I am in love with you FYI I am in fact in love with you But no one ever told me that this is how itā€™s done I am the rain and you are the sun And I love all the colours that we create I donā€™t care if itā€™s cliche, this is fate Sorry to bother you but youā€™re in my head And I want you to know that I think youā€™re the best

Old And Grey 04:18
Iā€™ve been reminiscing about way back when When the world divided us and my patience wore thin It was oh so difficult, but worth every waking moment To get where we are now Iā€™ve said it a million times and I will say it til the sun implodes Thereā€™s nowhere else Iā€™d rather be than right here and right now I looked for love and I found it, I still find it in your soul Do you find it, do you find it Do you find it in mine? I will never forget all of the sweat and the blood and the tears And the aching loneliness we felt for years How it almost succeeded in tearing us apart But we made it, we were meant to Right from the start I know sometimes youā€™re sick of me and I tend to scare you away But thereā€™s no one else I would rather be with when Iā€™m old and grey Itā€™s forever, forever, forever in your eyes Do you see it, do you feel it when you look into mine? Did you fall? Did you fall in love, love, love? Did you fall? Did you fall in love, love, love? Cause I fell, I fell in love, love, love With you With you With you Iā€™ve said it a million times and I will say it til the sun implodes Thereā€™s nowhere else Iā€™d rather be than right here and right now I looked for love and I found it, I still find it in your soul Do you find it, do you find it Do you find it in my soul? Did you find it, did you find it, did you find it my soul? Do you find it, do you find it, do you find it my soul? Itā€™s forever, forever, forever in your eyes Do you see it, do you feel it when you look into mine?

December 03:30
Youā€™re about to pack your things and up and leave and visit me And it is just the sweetest thing that anyoneā€™s ever done I donā€™t have much to offer, just a basic life and a simple tune I have a heart, I have a soul thatā€™s just for you Words just canā€™t describe How excited I am I just canā€™t wait any longer So come what may Iā€™ll always remember This December I donā€™t know if youā€™ll like it here in my corner of this planet But I will do my best to make you feel at home I donā€™t have much to offer, just my company, so forgive me For saying this but I really canā€™t wait for us to be alone I think Iā€™ve fallen As far as one can fall I just canā€™t wait any longer So come what may Iā€™ll always remember This December Words just canā€™t explain How nervous Iā€™ve become I just canā€™t wait any longer So come what may Iā€™ll always remember This December This December This December

Fireworks 05:05
Humans are so silly, always wasting time As though we have infinity to live inside our lies Lies we tell ourselves, and everyone around To make it easy to bury our heads in the ground But Iā€™m not like the others, I like to face the sky And I have no brain-mouth filter, I always say whatā€™s on my mind So hereā€™s some brutal honesty you might not appreciate Iā€™ve been drawn to you since the first time I saw your face In the dark and cold In the dark and cold In the dark and cold Iā€™m trying way too hard To write a song that will leave you charmed Some things I canā€™t express Itā€™s not my fault youā€™re from Finland, what did you expect? Since you donā€™t have a soul You can share mine, though itā€™s full of holes I just wanna be real And you are something I can feel I know itā€™s ridiculous, you are on the other side of the world But Iā€™ve done this before and itā€™s not that difficult You know that I like adventure, so tell me I can come your way So I can relive all the fireworks of New Yearā€™s Day You might not remember it, itā€™s such a precious memory to me The colour in the sky, and you right there with me And even though it was in winter and I was standing in the snow Iā€™ve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold In the dark and cold In the dark and cold In the dark and cold I know youā€™re surprised But Iā€™m too old to run and hide You might run away Iā€™m used to it, so I hope youā€™ll stay Since you donā€™t have a soul You can share mine, but itā€™s full of holes I just wanna be real And you are something I can feel I know itā€™s ridiculous, you are on the other side of the world But Iā€™ve done this before and itā€™s not that difficult You know that I like adventure, so tell me I can come your way So I can relive all the fireworks of New Yearā€™s Day You might not remember it, itā€™s such a precious memory to me The colour in the sky, and you right there with me And even though it was in winter and I was standing in the snow Iā€™ve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold In the dark and cold In the dark and cold In the dark and cold Humans are so silly, always wasting time As though we have infinity to live inside our lies Lies we tell ourselves, and everyone around To make it easy to bury our heads in the ground But Iā€™m not like the others, I like to face the sky And I have no brain-mouth filter, I always say whatā€™s on my mind So hereā€™s some brutal honesty you might not appreciate Iā€™ve been drawn to you since the fireworks on New Yearā€™s Day You might not remember it, itā€™s such a precious memory to me The colour in the sky, and you right there with me And even though it was in winter and I was standing in the snow Iā€™ve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold Iā€™ve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold Iā€™ve never been so warm, ā€˜cause you know I love the dark and cold

Iā€™ve been told Iā€™m a mystery Because itā€™s impossible to be As annoying as me Iā€™ve been told that Iā€™m full of shit That Iā€™m just too much to deal with ā€˜Cause no oneā€™s as difficult as me Never one for self control Three for three Iā€™m on a fucking roll And you can be the next poor soul to fall victim to my insanity And youā€™ll learn quickly Iā€™ve been told that I feel too much That no one really gives a fuck ā€˜Cause Iā€™m no good at this Iā€™ve been told that Iā€™m a mess That thereā€™s no hope and Iā€™m a pest ā€˜Cause my brainā€™s all amiss So maybe you should let it go Before you get into trouble And you donā€™t have to be that soul Who falls victim to my insanity But you can be They all seem to run with no rhyme or reason Not realising that itā€™s hunting season And no oneā€™s as tiring as me And what you donā€™t see is how they all played games To have and to hold just to bend and to break And it makes my trigger finger itchy ā€˜Cause I donā€™t have self control Three for three Iā€™m on a fucking roll And yours looks like the next poor soul Whoā€™ll fall victim to my insanity
11.
Itā€™s only been about an hour since I last spoke to you Thereā€™s just so much to discuss and I want to turn to you But I have long-standing issues that I have not resolved And like other people there are things I canā€™t control Then thereā€™s you fighting back It seems that I have met my match We canā€™t change who we are And I donā€™t think we should try Some things will happen as the universe intends But we both said things that I hope we never meant I know that you still love me and you know I love you So letā€™s fight for this like pisces people ought to do So letā€™s reach a compromise and start repairing things You can have whatever you want if I get what I need This is just a learning curve so letā€™s use it to grow I will forfeit some ideas ā€˜cause I donā€™t want you to go I guess I care too much About unimportant stuff And then you try to feel The absolute minimum And so that will naturally start to clash But that does not mean we should do things we canā€™t take back We are wasting precious hours we could spend feeling good So letā€™s relax and reconcile like pisces people should Can we go back to a time When everything was calm and bright? Can we return to a place Where everything was made of rainbow light? Can we walk instead of run? So weā€™ll remember that this is fun ā€˜Cause of all the smiles in the world Yours is still my favourite one Some things will happen as the universe intends And I think the universe wants us to make amends So take all the time you need, the silence just for you Iā€™m a pisces person and so I will wait for you

Yesterday 04:29
Broken people stuck together Tried our best to make it better Never realising that we Dragged each other down Meant to be a great adventure Turned into a failed endeavour Thought that it would last forever Now youā€™re not around And yesterday Is far away As far away As you But I Canā€™t help But wonder If you Are happy now World is changing rapidly And Iā€™d give anything to see What could have been if you and I Didnā€™t run it to the ground What we had was once a dream A waking nightmare come to be It died a slow death, tragically And now youā€™re not around And yesterday Is far away As far away As you But I Canā€™t help But wonder If you Are happy Now Now Now Now You had petrol, I had matches Didnā€™t care that fire catches Sat aside and watched what we built All go up in flames Liar versus charlatan A tournament of destruction And we were both too blind to see That we lost at our own game But I Canā€™t help But wonder If you Are happy Now Now Now Now World is changing rapidly And Iā€™d give anything to see What could have been if you and I Didnā€™t run it to the ground Meant to be a great adventure Turned into a failed endeavour Thought that it would last forever Now youā€™re not around And yesterday Is far away As far away As you
