Tveir þreyttir fætur toga hvern annan í takt
eftir einbreiðum vegi sem liggur í öfuga átt.
Gróðurinn grætur, þögnin hún segir svo margt,
allt er síendurtekið, samt er svo mikið ósagt.
Ég sver að grasið var grænna og fjarlægðin hér ein
og allt er svo litlaust og grátt
Ég get leitað og leitað fram á heimsenda
og gefið allt sem ég á.
Því að Esjan er falleg en ekki fallegri en þú,
hvernig augun þín glitra eins og hafið, svo djúpt.
Og það stingur í hjarta að vita‘ að ég sé of sein
en ég vil að þú vitir að ef að þú kallar
þá veistu‘ að ég kem aftur heim.
Reyni‘ að telja mér trú um að margt sé mér kært utan þín
en það gengur svo hægt því þú kemur strax aftur til mín.
Sver að grasið var grænna og fjarlægðin hér ein
og allt er svo litlaust og grátt
ég get leitað og leitað fram á heimsenda
og gefið allt sem ég á.
Því að Esjan er falleg en ekki fallegri en þú,
hvernig augun þín glitra eins og hafið, svo djúpt.
Og það stingur í hjarta að vita‘ af ég sé of sein

þá veistu‘ að ég kem aftur heim.
Kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið aftur heim,
kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið.
Kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið aftur heim,
kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið.
Kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið aftur heim
Kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið.
Kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið aftur heim,
kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið, kem um leið.
Tonight we drink to youth And holding fast to truth Don't wanna lose what I had as a boy My heart still has a beat But love is now a feat As common as a cold day in LA
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder Is there a spell that I am under Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts But sometimes it's a good hurt And it feels like I'm alive Love sings When it transcends the bad things Have a heart and try me 'Cause without love, I won't survive
I'm fettered and abused Stand naked and accused Should I surface this one-man submarine? I only want the truth So tonight, we drink to youth I'll never lose what I had as a boy
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder Is there a spell that I am under Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts But sometimes it's a good hurt And it feels like I'm alive Love sings When it transcends the bad things Have a heart and try me 'Cause without love, I won't survive
Without love, I won't survive
Love hurts But sometimes it's a good hurt And it feels like I'm alive Love sings When it transcends the bad things Have a heart and try me 'Cause without love, I won't survive
Love hurts, oh oh, love hurts Without love, I won't survive Love hurts, oh, love hurts Without love, I won't survive
High above the tallest trees Courage will come your way It's the need that burns the trust that shines When you climb out of the shade
Your high awakes the things you wanna be Where the air is thin and sweeps you off your feet
Where the heart is When the light's at your side When the faith is ready No more guidance Take the leap of your life As the ground is shaking
Shaking off your troubled soul As silence seems to grow It's the faith in sight, the doubt that fades As the world dissolves below
Your high awakes the things you wanna be Where the air is thin and sweeps you off your feet
Where the heart is When the light's at your side When the faith is ready No more guidance Take the leap of your life As the ground is shaking
You are falling to the stars, you are falling You are falling to the stars, you are falling You are falling to the stars, you are falling You are falling to the stars, you are falling
Where the heart is When the light's at your side When the faith is ready No more guidance Take the leap of your life As the ground is shaking
In a daydream, am I still stuck on your mind? Gotta day drink just to keep you off of mine
But you don't really care about how bad it felt Guess you’d rather fuck around with someone else I've been on my own sittin' here in hell Hope you feel alone sometimes as well
’Cause it's two-thirty, baby How'd I waste this night on you? Got me drinking just to wake up with the light on Truth hurts lately and I hate it that my mind's on you
Now I'm restless as I wait for one more call But it's best if I pretend I don't care at all
'Cause you don’t really care about how bad it felt Guess you’d rather fuck around with someonе else I've been on my own sittin’ hеre in hell Hope you feel alone sometimes as well
'Cause it's two-thirty, baby How'd I waste this night on you? Got me drinking just to wake up with the light on Truth hurts lately and I hate it that my mind’s on you I was falling from the roof When you told me you were saying goodbye 'Cause it's too early, maybe I just wasn't worth the time Now I'm losing my patience and I hate it that my mind's on you
Tell me, I waited
For a love that can open my heart again
On a love, when you call and I fold you in
To a love that we both know we're falling in
Ooh, ooh-ooh
All the lights you bring
And the nights I called your name
I didn't know you were ready
To lay your sunflower
Tell me, I waited
For a love that can open my heart again
On a love, when you call and I fold you in
To a love that we both know we're falling in
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Wanna know your mind
Caught in overdrive
Underneath your dress
When no one else is watching
Wanna know your eyes
Underneath your pride
In between your prayer
Tell me, I waited (And I fold you in)
For a love that can open my heart again (And I fold you in)
On a love, when you call and I fold you in
To a love that we both know we're falling in
Ooh, ooh-ooh
(And I fold you in)
(And I fold you in)
(And I fold you in)
(And I fold you in)
Never have I seen a place
That reminds me of your face
'Til I heard it call to me
Like a phone call from a friend
Set in silence like a prayer
If these walls could breathe the air
They would sing a song of love
And how it sometimes has to end
Welcome home
Your last and only one
Never more to roam
Have no fear
If you don't see the sun
I will hold you close
Welcome home
You are home
No nothing tastes like sweet
Sweet home
Letters written in the den
Folded news and coffee cans
Simple things that I recall
Not forgotten easily
Dog is passed out on the lawn
He will miss me when I'm gone
He won't speak what he has seen
Like the walls surrounding me
Welcome home
Your last and only one
Never more to roam
Have no fear
If you don't see the sun
I will hold you close
Welcome home
You are home
No nothing tastes like sweet
Sweet home
Welcome home
Your last and only one
Never more to roam
Have no fear
If you don't see the sun
I will hold you close
Welcome home
You are home
No nothing tastes like sweet
Nothing tastes like sweet
No nothing tastes like sweet
Sweet home
An early autumn day
Clouds hang low, looks like it might rain
All the trees are changing clothes
Throwing on their winter coats
We've been on this Ferris wheel
Up and down, going round and round
Watching seasons come and go
While dreaming of something more
Take my hand at the crack of dawn
Don't know 'bout you honey but I'm ready to run
Into the great unknown there is no time like now
Don't worry 'bout money we will figure it out
I'm sure
We can buy that old American car
That for long we have dreamt about
Build a cabin by the lake
Miles and miles away
Live off the fat of the land
People'll talk think we've lost the plot
But we won't care what they say
It's just noise anyway
Take my hand at the crack of dawn
Don't know 'bout you honey but I'm ready to run
Into the great unknown there's no time like now
Don't worry 'bout money we will figure it out
I'm sure the universe will be on our side
As it favors the brave that put it all on the line
So take a chance with me honey, got nothing to lose Let's burn down the bridges without further ado
Driving with the angel of death
I pass by your old apartment
Sniffing up the pills you left
Inside the limousine
Nobody could tell me how far
You said "we'll stop to read each tea leaf"
Nobody could tell me how long
Just pacing patiently
I arrive, in the form of a radical being
You arrive, but the story can never be told
(It's harder now to hold you)
Sleeping with the angel of death
I still find you in my shadow
Learning how the mirror reflects
I lose myself in you
I was told it wouldn't be long
"Life's a basket full of cravings"
Better than the evil you know
Repeat yourself in me
You arrive, on the hood of your step father's Lincoln
The surprise, and I couldn't remember the words
I'm on fire, and the guilt's doing all of the thinking
I'm alive, but it isn't the same as before
Slowly we become a single mold
Watching as my skin becomes your skin and starts to hold
I was told that there's a wonder in the place our bodies go
Driving 'round the sins of both my lives will keep you cold
I deserve it, I've been stalling, I've been selfish, I've been wrong
Finally I heard my name, the absolution called
Now I need it, now I crave the writing burned into the wall
Sitting in your hands to watch the ending of it all
I arrive, in the eyes of my grandfather's daughter
In the light, but I couldn't remember your words
I survived, and the guilt's falling off me in pieces
I'm alive, and it isn't the same as before
I thought this time I might just walk away from you
If I'm the thief and you're the proof, its pain to choose
It felt like a first, but it wasn't new
It felt like a sin, it was more like a noose
It's harder now to hold ya
It's harder now to hold ya
I'm ashamed, lost my decree, it paid to lose
The first of sixty thousand hours obsessed with you
It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the truth
I tried blaming me, ended up blaming you
It's harder now to hold ya
It's harder now to hold ya
It's harder now to hold ya
It's harder now to hold ya
Þú reyndir allt Já, þúsundfalt Upplifðir nóg Komin með nóg En það varst þú sem allt Lést í hjarta mér Og það varst þú sem andann aftur Kveiktir inní mér
Eg fór, þú fórst
Þú rótar í Tilfinningum I hrærivél Allt úti um allt En það varst þú sem alltaf varst Til staðar fyrir mann Það varst þú sem aldrei dæmdir Sannur vinur manns
Eg fór, þú fórst
[Vonlenska]
Þú siglir á fljótum Yfir á gömlum ára Sem skítlekur Þú syndir að landi Ýtir frá öldugangi Ekkert vinnur á Þú flýtur á sjónum Sefur á yfirborði Ljós í þokunni
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
