Songtexte / lyrics Lifelines |
| Lifelines | You wanted more | Forever not yours |
| One time to know that it's real One time to know how it feels that's all One call your voice on the phone One place a moment alone that's all What do you see, what do you know? One sign: What do I do? Just follow your lifeline through What if it hurts, what then? What do you do, What do you say? Don't throw your lifelines away One time just once in my life Yeah one time to know it can happen twice One shot of a clear blue sky One look I see no reasons why we can't One chance to go back to the point where everything starts One chance to keep it together when things fall apart Just one sign to make us believe it's true What do you see, where do we go? One sign: how do we grow? By letting your lifelines show What if we do, what then? What do you say, How will I know? Don't let your lifeline go Don't let your lifeline go Don't let your lifeline go Words / music: Magne Furuholmen |
You know the way, you've been before I've seen the signs outside your door You've set the rules Their bitter taste can't be ignored It just the same, just like before; You wanted more I loved the sun, I loved the rain I gave it up, but all in vain I loved the way it was before So bittersweet to be adored We had it all, you let it go You wanted more But in the end, what is a friend If not someone, to help pretend Remeber me You know my name, I'm still the same But not for you, that's not enough You wanted more I loved the sun, I loved the rain I gave it up, but all in vain We couldn't change, you know the score So bittersweet to be adored We had it all, you gave it up You wanted more But in the end, what is a friend You loved the way it used to be The way it was with you and me It came to late and left too soon Just like the rings around the moon We had it all, you let it go You wanted more We had it all You gave it up You wanted more Words: Magne Furuholmen Music: Magne Furuholmen & Morten Harket |
Hold me tight This is a lonely night And I’ve hurt you baby Because you are my light Make me strong Just like you make me weak When your hands reach out for me Even in your sleep (I ‘ll soon be gone now) Forever not yours (It won’t be long now) Forever not yours Memories they keep coming through The good ones hurt more Than the bad ones do The days were high And the nights were deep And I miss you baby I miss you baby I’ll soon be gone now Forever not yours It won’t be long now Forever not yours I’ll soon be gone now It won’t be long now Forever not Forever not yours I’ll soon be gone now Forever not yours It won’t be long now Forever not yours I’ll soon be gone now Forever not yours It won’t be long now Forever not yours Words: Morten Harket and Ole Sverre Olsen Music : Magne Furuholmen and Morten Harket |
| There's a reason for it | Time and again | Did anyone approach you |
| Don't know how it got away from me Don't know how I let things go, you see Don't know why it took a sudden turn Didn't seem to be a big concern And everything is all too much Hot and bothered, yet cool to the touch And everyone is world's apart It must have been this way right from the start When there's nothing here to save the day Then we have to say There's not reason for it When there's nothing left for us to do You're left without a clue There's a reason for it Don't know how it got away from me Don't know how I let things go, you see Don't know why it took a sudden turn Guess it means I have a lot to learn And everyone is all too well All well-adjusted people, can't you tell And everything is all too fast Just add water, nothing's build to last When your colleagues can't recall your name Time and time again There's a reason for it When your name's the butt of every joke You're just about to croak There's a reason for it There's a reason for it Words / music: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy |
The sun brought me The moon caught me The wind fought me The rain got me The road sent me The years bent me The stars overwhelmed me Time and again But now I can't see the stars a star is a thing I can't see And now I don't feel the same To feel is a thing that can't be Work rushed me Fame brushed me The streets hushed me As life touched me Time place me Events dazed me Love saved me Now and again But now There can be no love Love is a thing that can't be And now There can be no trust Trust is a thing I can't see But now There can be no love Love is a thing that can't be And now I can't be so strong Strong is a thing I can't be Time and again Time and again The sun brought me Words / music: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy |
You never look up You never look back You never say anything based on fact You've got issues going way back You never say hi You never say much You never make an effort to stay in touch I got the feeling something happened here Something happened here Did anybody feel you Did anybody deal you Did anybody make you do some things now Did anyone approach you Did anybody coach you Did anybody tell you what to say now Hopeless, it's not hopeless Doubtful, but not hopeless at all You never look up You never look back You never do anything in between Everything is black and white with you You never believe You never belong You never make milestones to call your own I got this feeling something happened here Something happened here Did anybody hide you Did anybody fight you Did anyone decide to do some harm now Did anybody read you Did anybody bleed you Did anybody feed you lots of junk now Hopeless, it's not hopeless Doubtful, but not hopeless at all Something happened here Something happened here Words / music: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy |
| Afternoon high | Oranges on appletrees | A little bit |
| Ah, the sunlight hits the corner of your eyes As it bounces off the morning sky A summer in the 70's fly by Bye! Ah, daylight hits the corner of your mind Steals the thoughts you thought no one could find Close your eyes And it will rob you blind Incidental memories collide Sentimental reveries abide An afternoon high Afternoon high Ah, daylight hits the corner of your mouth Steals the words that filled you up with doubt Open up and let them all fall out Ah, honey smooths the wrinkles from the bed Gone the indentations of your head Leaving just a frown upon your forehead Incidental memories collide Sentimental reveries abide An afternoon high Worry works a wrinkle over time Open up and let it rob you blind Incidental memories collide People tell me you've been blinded by: An afternoon high Words / music: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy |
Oranges on appletrees Bugs that mate with bumblebees Oranges on appletrees Water come and water goes Where it ends up no-one knows for sure Water rises, waterfalls Where it comes from no-one knows for sure It seeps from every pore We have seen the rain before But not like this, it's flooding every shore People come and people go I can hear their laughter through my door But no-one's keeping score; Oranges on appletrees Bugs that mate with bumblebees One big happy family Endless possibilities Oranges on appletrees - and more I see your face in front of me You believed what no-one else could see I feel it deep inside of me Everything we know shall be renewed And everyone will see Oranges on appletrees - and more I used to be the only one Not now since you have come 'Cause you and I have seen the signs That's why we're running blind Oranges on appletrees Birds that mate with bumblebees Endless possibilities Oranges on appletrees All the things that we can see Multigender wannabes Oranges on appletrees Bugs that mate with bumblebees One big happy family Endless possibilities Words: Magne Furuholmen Music: Magne Furuholmen & Morten Harket |
And it will
take a little bit of extra time To make it shine To make it shine And it will take a little bit of extra care To bring it where You think it's there And there's no one else around But this is what I've found Anyone you see Anyone you meet Someone at your feet Anyone could be the one Anyone you know Anywhere you go Someone at a show Could be that one And it will take a little less than all you've got To get a shot To get a shot And it will take a little bit of extra care To bring it where You think it's there And there's nowhere else to go But this is what I know Anyone you see Anyone you meet Maybe down the street Anyone could be that one Everywhere you look The pages of a book All the years it took Everything that got you down And it will take a little while to get back home The road is long The road is long And it will take a little work to get it back To mend the cracks To bridge the gaps Anyone you see Could be the one Anyone you meet Could be that one Someone at your feet could feel the same making you complete Could share your name Everywhere you look The pages of a book Everything she took Never let it keep you down You're holding out for news All broken up and bruised A loser born to lose Anywhere you go Anyone you know You think it doesn't show But everybody knows Anyone you see Maybe down the street Someone at your feet Could be that one Words / music: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy |
| Less than pur | Turn the lights down | Cannot hide |
| We're gonna
go downtown I hear this great new place has open up And when we get there I don't know It's taking ages, don't you know How long, how long will this go on? How long, how long The time drags on How long ... I find I can't go on much longer now But the place in question is hard to find Not a cab-ride to the door And you wonder in your doubtful mind Is it really worth all that, and more? We seem to be a little lost of something I'm not really sure About the choice we're making The toll it's taking How long, how long will this go on? How long, how long The time drags on How long ... I find I can't go on much longer now But the place in question is hard to find Like an illness without cure And our minds are growing wearier And our hearts are less than pur Less than pur Words / music: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy |
Turn the lights
on, the night is too long Keep yourself warm, I'm coming home I cannot help you, you yourself must see Decide now what you want to be Turn the lights down, the lights are too strong When you're down and out, just hold on Realize that nothing lasts long We must believe the things we cannot see Everything's allright with me Turn the lights down, the lights are too strong I'm coming home I just want to sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive I just want to sleep for awhile Turn around, the night is still young Keep your lights on I'm coming home You must decide now where you want to be You're the one that said to me: Realize that nothing lasts long I'm coming home I just wanna sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive So easy to love from a distance Hard to be near when you can Impossible now to get back to Where we began I just wanna sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive I just wanna sleep by your side I just wanna sleep through the night Words / music: Magne Furuholmen & Morten Harket |
Can you see
me babe Standing in the light I feel your cat's eyes on me, Phosphor in the night I'll move inside Got those eyes Something's burning Babe that's allright You and I here tonight Meet me on the other side ('cause you can do me right) Take me where I cannot hide ('cause you can do me right) Meet me on the other side You don't know me girl I'm faceless in the crowd The things I could show you, girl C'mon, c'mon to my cloud I ... I'm alive and tonight Something's falling, babe You and I or the sky I can see it in your eyes Meet me on the other side ('cause you can do me right) Take me where I cannot hide ('cause you can do me right) Meet me on the other side Tonight Words: Morten Harlet and Ole Sverre Olsen Music: Morten Harket and Martin Landquist |
| White canvas | Dragonfly | Solace |
| Stories are
painted in the lines on your face Misunderstandings and little mistakes A chance to start over Is all that it takes - you know if you do; Your life is a canvas, the colours are you Follow me out, follow me round Let's make the road up as we go along Just as we planned You want to believe it, you know that it's true; Your life is a canvas, the colours are you You cannot erase them: The words that were said - Just paint them over inside of your head All that is needed; You know you must make just one leap of faith Everything elese will fall into place Follow me out, follow me round Let's make it up and go back to where we began All that is needed is one leap of faith Everything elese will fall into place Anywhere you'll ever go Everyone you'll ever know You may never find it Everyone you'll ever see Anyone you choose to be How you look will decide What you see Follow the moon, follow the sun Let's make a deal this time to stay with the plan All that is needed is one leap of faith Everything elese will fall into place Stories are painted in the lines on your face Words / music: Magne Furuholmen |
I will never let you down I will always be around In the time we are here We'll see love disappear Don't ask how, don't ask why Just fly, dragonfly Just fly, dragonfly I will never bring you down I will always stick around I will heat you when you're cold In the time we have left We'll raise eyes to the sky Don't ask how, don't ask why Just fly dragonfly Just fly, dragonfly Don't ask how, don't ask why Just fly dragonfly Just fly, dragonfly Words / music: Magne Furuholmen |
Some sign
of forgiveness Some form of relief Is all she asks for Is all that she needs She waits for the day when She'll feel more at ease Some time to be cared for Some time left in peace Cold stars of the future They burned bright in the past But these moments of solace They won't last They don't last You're wasting the moment Biding your time No - one got ahead Standing in line So something is over Before it's begun So close she could taste it But now it is gone; Cold stars of the future They burned bright in the past But these moments of solace They won't last They cannot last You're hoping for solace Well just look around Everyone here is Standing in line Solace now She hopes for She waits for the day But with every nightfall It's slipping away Words / music: Magne Furuholmen |
