"Je m'aperçois que vieillir, c'est savoir discerner la part d'absence, absente de chaque nouveauté." (Yves Simon, La dérive des sentiments) Parce que les êtres ne sont pas interchangeables, même si nous croyons un temps gommer la douleur qui nous vrille le coeur en nous élançant à corps perdu vers de nouveaux horizons.
I see myself Colliding into doubt And only time will tell If I have what it takes to make this one count
So how can I just look you in your eyes and tell a lie After all there's nothing left to hide But fear can only measure how hard you break It's a give and take So make up your mind
Cause I don't want to hurt you anymore I think I've fallen harder than ever before And if I can't have you then I can have myself to blame Because I know we'll never be the same If only I could hold you for one more night Just know that I would for those few seconds it feels like you are mine
And still I try my best Oh, just to face the fact that I can never take a back a god damn thing But you got to stay proud of the life you live When you've really nothing left to give A fixed image cannot erase All the love that you've misplaced
Cause I don't want to hurt you anymore I think I've fallen harder than ever before And if I can't have you then I can have myself to blame Because I know we'll never be the same If only I could hold you for one more night Just know that I would for those few seconds it feels like you are mine
And all along the fault was my own There's not a second of a memory that I don't recall Even if you've lost your faith in me Promise to never lose your faith in the life you seek
And all along the fault was my own There's not a second of a memory that I don't recall Even if you've lost your faith in me Promise to never lose your faith in the life you seek
Cause I don't want to hurt you anymore I think I've fallen harder than ever before And if I can't have you then I can have myself to blame Because I know we'll never be the same If only I could hold you for one more night Just know that I would for those few seconds it feels like you are mine
Five A.M. and I feel like crying
I knew I lost you, I lost a friend
Clock ran out at the worst of timing
I'm deeply troubled, filled with regret
Moms knees deep in alcohol
But I'm drowning, I'm drowning, I'm drowning
Sinking deeper need your arms around me, around me
Cause there ain't nothing in this world
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
Nothing in this world, nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
Thunder hit but it felt like lighting
The night I lost you I lost a friend
And pictures say you look just like me
Wish I could see you, see you again
Moms knees deep in alcohol
But I'm drowning, I'm drowning, I'm drowning
Sinking deeper need your arms around me, around me
Cause there ain't nothing in this world
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
Nothing in this world, nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
One more I love you
One more I love you
Nothing in this world, nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
I'm drowning, I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning, I'm drowning
Cause there ain't nothing in this world
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
Nothing in this world, nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
One more I love you
One more I love you
One more I love you
Cause there ain't nothing in this world
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To say one more I love you
Jessie is a friend,
Yeah, I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed
It ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
I'll play along with the charade
That doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman...
Where can I find a woman like that?
And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?
You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl
My love and I, we work well together
But often we're apart
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah
Till love breaks down, love breaks down
Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
The sweet September rain
Rain on me like no other
Until I drown, until I drown
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down, when love breaks down
My love and I, we are boxing clever
She'll never crowd me out
Fall be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurtin' you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurtin' you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
You join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down
When love breaks down
We were fire, impossible to tame
Like oil in the ocean, no way to put out the flame
We were just running, eyes closed in the dark
Headed for a wall, full speed, oh it's about to leave a mark
Oh, and it was freedom, you hold me, I scream your name
Through all of the madness, I take the blame
And I
And I
I only want you when you're gone, gone, gone
Playing like we're done, done, done
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're gone, gone, gone
Playin' like we're done, done, done
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're
I only want you when you're
I only want you when you're
I only want you when you're gone
We loved a lot, like a moth to a flame
But I knew that it was something special from the start
Had that good, bad lovin' in my heart
And now I need a sequel to the movie that we made
I'll keep on runnin' the scenes, all this acting getting reckless
All this love, that love in pain
I only want you when you're gone (Gone, gone)
Playing like we're done, done, done (Done)
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're gone, gone, gone (Gone)
Playing like we're done, done, done
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're (I want you when)
I only want you when you're (I want you when)
I only want you when you're (I want you when)
I only want you when you're gone (I want you when)
I only want you when you're gone (Gone, gone, gone)
I only want you when you're gone (Done, done, done)
I only want you when you're gone (Gone, gone, gone)
Want you when you're gone, oh-oh (Done, done, done)
I only want you when you're gone
I know I love to scream your name
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're gone
By the heating of the sun
By the sound of a gun
I've been undone
By being overheard
With the wrong choice of word
I've been undone
Yes, I've been undone
By the emptiest hole
As I searched for a soul
I've been undone
By the weakness of pain
When I desired to remain
I've been undone
By the clues in my case
By the look on your face
I've been undone
By the sense of too much
By compassion untouched
I've been undone
Like a wire on a spool
I keep on unrolling
A single thread that seems to unwind and unwind
Unravel my clothing
By all the forms that you get
From the Mandelbrot set
I've been undone
By the recursive slaves
In the home of the brave
I've been undone
Though I want to observe
It keeps touching a nerve
And I've been undone
By the past that you trace
By a moment of grace
I have been undone
And I need more information
I need to know what's going on
And I need this information now
So I don't go wrong
Go wrong, go wrong
But how can you smile when it's all gone?
How can you wait? No one will come
Believing in something that doesn't exist
Letting it go, listen and feel
Just listen and feel
By a squeak from a chair
A complete lack of air
I've been undone
Been undone
By a slip of the ice
By a roll of the dice
I've been undone
By the Nazarene with its Turing Machine
I've been undone
By the mitochondrial cell
By the ringing of the funeral bell
I have been undone
And I need more information
I need to know what's going on
And I need this information now
So I don't go wrong
I don't go wrong
And it starts with the spider on the wall
He slides the spheres apart
And opens up the door
Opens up the heart
Oh, the memories showing
Spinning out on the screen
Until the quasar shatters
At this human plane
And it climbs out on the wing
How can you smile when it's all gone?
How can you wait when no one will come?
Believing in something that can never be real
Time to let go, just listen and feel
Just listen and feel
And I feel it in you
You feel it in me
I feel it in you
You feel it in me
I feel it in you
Oh, you feel it in me
I feel it in you
I feel it in you
God knows where I've been
Gray clouds come for me
God knows where I've been
You come for me
You come for me
God knows where I've been
Gray clouds come for me
They come for me
They come for me
God knows where I've been
Gray clouds come for me
They come for me
They come for me
How graceful it is
How graceful it is
How graceful it is
Oh, the promise that you made to me
How graceful it is
Oh, the promise that you made to me
Let go of your heart
Let go of your heart
Keep your promise
Keep your promise
Let go of your heart
Let go of your heart
Keep your promise
Keep your promise
Some girls you meet seem so complete
Like they don't need nothin' from you
They're out to show you they don't want to know you
When deep inside they do
Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else
She was alone, thought I'd give it a try
I was a young bull stompin' in the field
I saw red when she walked by
Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
I had to think fast, I watched her walk past
I knew I would have my way
So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up
But I didn't have a damn thing to say
Now, two handed strategy always works well for me
So I slipped my hands around her waist
I swore it was the right move, feelin' so smooth
Till she backhanded me 'cross my face
Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
To make a long story short, she finally got caught
I had to tell her enough is enough
She said, "You're just what I needed", and boy
She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough
Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
Love has taken, taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
Love has taken, taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
You better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if you don't wanna dance
You like a four letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cause you know that you can
You got it
But are you getting it?
You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun
You know you can't stop it, so don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you getting it?
Ooh, really getting it?
Come get it from me
(Give me all of your loving)
Every little bit
(Give me all that you got)
Every bit of it
(Every bit of your loving)
Oh, come on live a bit
(Never want to stop)
Yeah, but are you getting it?
(Armageddon it)
Ooh, really getting it?
(Yes, Armageddon it)
Come on get it
Yeah
Do, do, do
Uh oh
You try coming on when you need some
But then you don't because you already did
Yeah, you jangle your jewels while you're shaking your
And drive the pretty boys out of their heads
You got it
But are you getting it?
You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumping Jack
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back
Yeah, but are you getting it?
(Armageddon it)
Ooh, really getting it?
(Yes, Armageddon it)
Come on, Steve, get it, huh
Take it, take it, take it from me
I got an itchy finger following me
Pull it, pull it, come on trigger the gun
Because the best is a yet to come
I say
(Because the best is yet to come)
Oh, are you getting it?
Oh, really getting it?
Yes, are you getting it?
Whoa, really getting it?
Come get it from me
(Give me all of you loving)
Every little bit
(Give me all that you got)
Every bit of it
(Every bit of your loving)
Oh, come on live a bit
(Never want it to stop)
Oh, are you getting it?
(Give me all of your loving)
Ooh, really getting it?
(Give me all that you got)
Oh are you getting it?
(Give me all of your loving)
Oh, live a bit
(Give me all that you got)
No, live a bit
You've got to live it
(Give me all of your loving)
Ooh, baby live it
(Give me all that you got)
Come on and give it
(Every bit of your loving)
Oh, come on and give it
(Never want it to stop)
Oh, are you getting it?
(Give me all of your loving)
Ooh, really getting it?
(Give me all that you got)
Oh, are you getting it?
(Every bit of your loving)
Oh, live a bit
(Never want it to stop)
Whoa
(Give me all of your loving)
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes, I'm living at a pace that kills
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
I'll tell y'all about it
I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waiting at home
Runnin' with the devil
God damn it lady, you know I ain't lying to ya
I'm wanna tell you one time
Aah-yeah
Running with the devil
Yes I am
Yeah
Woo
Woo
You know I, I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waiting at home
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
For so long, I've been searching for things to come and Save us now, but we have fallen and we can't get out
Love went wrong, it drove us far away from what we are and Words or chords, cannot describe this is what we've become
Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark I've been trying to say this to you That things can fall apart, and the end can start, now
Heart to heart, they might be pumping but the veins are dry and Though we're not apart I cannot seem to reach your open hand and We're fighting fighting lying and lying
We keep running but we're standing still
Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark I've been trying to say this to you That things can fall apart, and the end can start tonight, and we're
Fighting fighting Lying and lying
All this running and running has got me shattered and lonely Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark tonight Heart, oh, heart, you keep on pumping but the veins are dry
And we're blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark I've been trying to say this to you Things can fall apart, and the end can start, tonight, and we're
Fighting and we're lying
All this running and running has got me shattered and lonely Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark tonight
Heart, my sweet heart, you might be pumping but my veins are dry
Is there anybody out there
'Cause lately I feel by myself
Tell me there's somebody else
Yeah
Is there anybody out there
'Cause I cannot do this alone
I wish there was somebody home
Yeah
Oh, the way that you move
Is something wrong
Just tell me now
Just tell me oh
Do you want me or not?
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home
And I can't believe it
I just want you to myself
I can't see you with no one else
Yeah
Oh, the way that you move
Is something wrong
Just tell me now
Just tell me oh
Do you want me or not?
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home
Do you want me or not?
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home
Do you want me or not?
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home
Called you home
Called you home
Called you home
In the darkest of nights I've called you home
Do you want me or not?
Just let me go In the darkest of nights I've called you home
I don't want another night of tryna Find another you, another rock bottom I don't wanna wear another mini dress To impress a potential problem I don't wanna spend the night at someone's place To fill the space that you used to walk in I don't want another number in my phone Someone to hold at three in the mornin'
I don't want somebody like you I only want you, I only want you, yeah Don't want somebody brand new I only want you, I only want you, yeah Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya Just to need, just to need ya, oh I don't want somebody like you I only want you, I only want you, yeah
I'm the one that went and ruined everything And made you think that it was all your fault And I know that sorry's only just a word And when it hurts, it isn't that simple But I know that if you look me in the eyes I can't deny that we're somethin' different And I know I'm probably lookin' for your kiss On someone's lips to know that I miss ya
I don't want somebody like you I only want you, I only want you, yeah Don't want somebody brand new I only want you, I only want you, yeah Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya Just to need, just to need ya, oh I don't want somebody like you I only want you, I only want you, yeah
I don't want another night of tryna Find another you, another rock bottom I don't wanna wear another mini dress To impress a potential problem
I don't want somebody like you I only want you, I only want you, yeah Don't want somebody brand new I only want you, I only want you, yeah Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya Just to need, just to need ya, oh I don't want somebody like you I only want you, I only want you, yeah
Round and round we go, go Round and round like a carousel You spin my head when you're standing there Round and round like a carousel Higher highs and low lows When I feel like you're letting go I can't let go
But while you say my name you're under my skin I try to walk away but the ice is thin Something always pulls me back to you
So I keep my armour on, my walls are rigid My gates are strong but you're my weakness You know, you're the only one who makes me feel so vulnerable So vulnerable I know your wounds need care, your scars need stitches But I can't be the one to fix you 'Cause, oh, I'm the only one who makes you feel so vulnerable So vulnerable
One step forward, two backwards We fall in love 'fore we fall asleep Wake up, still stuck in a bad dream We fall in love 'fore we fall asleep Question marks, no answers We look for lies and a little truth In an empty poem
But while you say my name you're under my skin I try to walk away but the ice is thin Something always pulls me back to you
So I keep my armour on, my walls are rigid My gates are strong but you're my weakness I know, you're the only one who makes me feel so vulnerable So vulnerable I know your wounds need care, your scars need stitches But I can't be the one to fix you 'Cause, oh, I'm the only one who makes you feel so vulnerable So vulnerable
I remember love when it all begun The whole world stopped, there was only me and you My love, my love, what have we done? We took our hearts and we broke them into two, two
I keep my armour on, my walls are rigid My gates are strong but you're my weakness I know, you're the only one who makes me feel so vulnerable So vulnerable I know your wounds need care, your scars need stitches But I can't be the one to fix you, oh I'm the only one who makes you feel so vulnerable So vulnerable
Wir zeigten mit dem Finger auf die Vill'n, an den'n wir als Kinder vorbeigefahren sind
Heute guck' ich zweimal hin, weil ich nicht glauben kann, an der Klingel steht jetzt mein Namensschild
Die dicken Karren sind am schlafen, seit Jahren steh'n sie schon in meiner Garage drin
Und Mama fragt, wann trinkt sie mit dem kleinen Jungen 'n Cappuccino am Hafen bei Tageslicht
Ich häng' besoffen in jeder Bar der Stadt
Mit Herz und hoff', und hör', wie jeder sagt
Junge, denk mal an morgen
Aber was ist mit heute?
Wir schmieden Pläne, doch kommen lebend nicht hier raus
Junge, denk mal an morgen
Nahm'n uns so viele Träume
Doch im Regen fall'n die Tränen gar nicht auf
Die Suite, in der ich schlafe, kostet mich knapp zehntausend Euro pro Monat im Radisson
Und trotz Panoramablick fühl' ich mich so, als wäre ich heute in ei'm Gefängnis drin
Wie soll man Immobilien, Karriere, Familie und Liebe zusammen denn auch managen?
Und das Telefon steht niemals still, ich krieg' Nachrichten von irgendwelchen Besessenen (Ah)
So viele Flaschen auf dem Tisch, wir könnten locker ein Fußballstadion zum Leuchten bring'n (Ah)
Alle Angebote dankend abgelehnt, damit ich hier heute mit meinen Freunden bin (Ah)
Auf die harte Tour gelernt, dass unser wunderschönes Lächeln gar nicht käuflich ist
Sperr uns tausend Meter tief unter die Erde, du hörst uns bis nach oben von unsern Träumen sing'n
Ich häng' besoffen in jeder Bar der Stadt
Mit Herz und hoff', und hör', wie jeder sagt
Junge, denk mal an morgen
Aber was ist mit heute?
Wir schmieden Pläne, doch kommen lebend nicht hier raus
Junge, denk mal an morgen
Nahm'n uns so viele Träume
Doch im Regen fall'n die Tränen gar nicht auf
Ich häng' besoffen in jeder Bar der Stadt
Mit Herz und hoff', und hör', wie jeder sagt
Ich häng' besoffen in jeder Bar der Stadt
Mit Herz und hoff', und hör', wie jeder sagt
Junge, denk mal an morgen (Uh)
(Uh)
Walking on a Chinese
Walking on a Chinese Wall
Watching for the coins to
Watching for the coins to fall
Butterfly, spread
Your painted wings
For an answer
From the Ching
By the stream
Stretching in the rocks
Tiger on the mountaintop
Walking on the Chinese Wall
Watching for the coins to fall
Now the sun is rising in the east
Looking for my golden fleece
Ivory skin, scarlet color deep
Lips that burn but do not speak
Three misty nights
Waiting by the shore
May be that my lover
Comes no more
Red chamber dream
From the sky above
Ancient tales of hidden
Chinese love
On the Chinese Wall
Watching for the coins to fall
Blue red silk burning on my chest
Go to sleep but not to rest
Stepping stones on the yellow sea
Dreaming she'll be there for me
Come down the clouds
To the sea of flames
From the mountain
Hear the cry of pain
Red chamber dream
From the sky above
Ancient tales of hidden
Chinese love
On the Chinese Wall
Watching for the coins to fall
On the Chinese Wall, oh, yeah
Watching for the coins to fall
(On the Chinese Wall)
Butterfly, spread your wings
From an answer from the Ching
(Watching for the coins to fall)
Blue red silk on my chest
Go to sleep but not to rest, oh, no
Walking on the Chinese Wall
Walking on the Chinese Wall
Walking on the Chinese Wall
Watching for the coins to fall...
Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing his song, his heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds, I still can hear him say
"Oh talk to me, so you can see, what's going on"
Say you will sing your songs forevermore (forevermore)
Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud, I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right, on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift
Jackie, hey what you doing now?
It seems like yesterday when we were working out
Jackie, you set the world on fire
You came and gifted us, your love it lifted us higher and higher
Keep it up and we'll be there at your side
Say you will sing your songs forevermore (forevermore)
Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
I bet you're singing proud, I bet you'll pull a crowd
It's gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right, on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift
Gonna miss your sweet voice, that soulful noise, on the nightshift
We all remember you, your song is coming through
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right, on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift
On the nightshift
On the nightshift...
I caught a golden wave
It left me lost at sea
I turned crazy
Wild and awake
The ocean was angry
Foaming at the mouth
Turning in the undertow
Turning in the undertow
Turning in the undertow
Turning in the undertow
Mistakes, aw ya paid and paid and paid for
Sun breaks, but you're finding only shadow
So you paid and paid and paid
I'm on the edge
Stopped breathing
Chasing my head
Tracing my feelings
Paint with my soul
Heart takes a beating
But I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
All believing
All believing
Follow my sages
Why would I belong?
Why belong?
Why belong?
All believing
It's all in the dust
In the sound of breathing
Opening
Opening
Opening
All believing
Follow my sages
Why would I belong?
Why belong?
Why belong?
All believing
Follow my sages
Why would I belong?
Why belong?
Why belong?
All believing
Follow my sages
Why would I belong?
Why belong?
Why belong?
