Lyrics

Dreams burn down

Lying under sky
Laughing at everything I say
And pulls me under
There's no time to resist

Lying on the floor
The tears are falling down and more
Her eyes speak loud
But actions speak the best

Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

She's effortlessly cool
But circumstances can be cruel
And sometimes you must accept
That you can't always get what you want
We fill up our days and nights
We fill up the gaps in our empty little lives
But we know (that) we are doomed
The moment we walk out the room

Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

Taste

Floating like a smoke ring
It cannot be regained
Now it's touched, it's broken
The taste just slips away
The taste just slips away
I just want to know

The taste just slips away
The taste just slips away
I just want to know

I don't want to tell you
What you want to know
I don't want to tell you

As hard as right can be
It can feel so wrong
Too much to leave
Now it's all gone wrong

It's all gone wrong
But what's right or wrong?
I don't know
I don't know
The taste just slips away

Here and now

The bridge holds back the sky
Can't hold back what's inside
And the train above me
Sounds like the music in my head
My thoughts are undecided
I think it so I hide it
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone to fast

I wish that I was stronger
Could keep my head for longer
I sit and watch my fear
But it won't dissapear
I can dream myself away
Lose myself for days
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone to fast

All I know is here and now

All I know is here and now

And the train rushes past
Like a day gone to fast
And the train rushes past
Like a life gone too fast

Nowhere

I should have known better
Than to expect it all
You want everything
And you end up grabbing at air

I had so much to give
So much hope, we held each other high
But the heroes are gone
And all that's left is you and me

I learned the hard way
That life should be easy
But I wan't you to know that it was hard to show
The things that I know now

All that's left is you and me
And here we are, nowhere

All that's left is you and me
And here we are, nowhere
