Ólafur Arnalds ft. Ella McRobb - and we’ll leave it there…

 
Settle down, don't say a word
It's all been said before
It's too late now
There's a weight upon my chest
That wasn't there before
It lives here now

And it hurts, oh, it hurts so bad
And I know that I don't deserve that, mm

So when I open my eyes in the morning
And you're not there
It'll be you in my heart that I'm holding
And you won't care
So let's leave it there, mm-mm

All the sparks that used to fly
Are burning on my skin
Fading into nothing
And all the time we had for us
Is going with the wind
Can someone let the light in?

And it hurts, oh, it hurts so bad
And I know that I don't deserve that

So when I open my eyes in the morning
And you're not there
It'll be you in my heart that I'm holding
And you won't care
So when my lungs cannot breathe anymore in
And I've laid it bare
It'll be you in my heart that I'm holding
And you won't care
So let's leave it there, oh-oh

Ólafur Arnalds, Arnór Dan & Douglas Dare - Say My Name

 
Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name

Any other day I would call
You would say "baby how's your day?"
But today it ain't the same
Every other word is "uh huh, yeah okay"
Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady
If you took it there
First of all let me say
I am not the one to sit around and be played
Prove yourself to me
I'm the girl that you claim
Why don't you say the things
That you said to me yesterday

Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name

RY X ft. Ólafur Arnalds - Colorblind

 
Through the night and our thoughts
Reaching me, caught in stone
Speak your name through the light
Plead for me, colorblind

Hold it all in your body
Hold it all in your mind
Say it all in your silence here
Say it all in your truth tonight
Hold it all in your body
Keep it all in your mind
Say it all in your silent hears
Say it all in your truth tonight

Through the mist, cross the line
Sheath to play, hold the fire
Plead to me, take the reigns
Only you in my veins

Hold it all in your body
Hold it all in your mind
Say it all in your silence here
Say it all in your truth tonight
Hold it all in your body
Keep it all in your mind
Say it all in your silent hears
Say it all in your truth tonight

Hold it all in your body
Hold it all in your mind
Say it all in your silence here
Say it all in your truth tonight
Hold it all in your body
Keep it all in your mind
Say it all in your silent hears
Say it all in your truth tonight

Ólafur Arnalds ft. Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir - Particles

 

Here I am

Floating in emerald sea

Keep me dancing

Keep me as still as can be

And I try to keep the balance right

And I try, but it feels like wasted time

 

But these heavy hands

They're pulling me down on my chest

Latching on, coloring all of my flesh

Quietly, you hover over me

And I fight, but it feels like wasted time

Feels like wasted time

 

Say goodnight

I know that I'm swallowed in sea

We collide, colors that devour me

Just say goodnight

I'm already down

And I cry, already down

 

Already down

And I cry, already down

And I try

And I try, but it feels like wasted...
