I want you to promise
Our love is strong
I want you to sign a contract
I want you to write in stone
I want you to notice
I've never been wrong
I want you to sign a contract
I want you to write in stone
and shape your world around it
And tell my friends about it
right now
sitting here in the house of pain
the silence here will drive me insane
i need you
won't you come back home
i cant spend the night alone
ive been heartbroken for a day
i said some things i had to say
i need you
i wanna come back home
i dont do well on my own
sitting here in the house of pain
the silence here will drive me insane
i need you
won't you come back home
i cant spend the night alone
ive been heartbroken for a day
i said some things i had to say
i need you
i wanna come back home
i dont do well on my own
I dont do well on my own

i grew up in a house
right across the sea
i didnt like the priest
and he didnt like me
id better run run run run
My mama told me boy before you be a man
Theres plenty of things you gotta understand
Never get in trouble never touch a gun
Always run for cover always try to run
that's right run run run run
Where i'll lay my head
I really i don't know
I watched my friends growing into men
took hard calls that life threw at them
I met a girl she was young and sweet
she turned my life around and gave me everything
but i just run run run
Where i'll lay my head
I really i don't know
I travelled through mud and i travelled through sea
there aint much left that i need to see
My whole damn life i lived for free
thanx to my only philosophy
i always run run run
Where i'll lay my head
I really i don't know
Oh how i miss my home
right across the sea
And if i lose my way
There's no place i'd rather be
No other place will set me free

I wait for you
05:14

And i wait for you
To relapse
To regain yourself
I am a slave
like you
i demand
nothing more than a fool
and i wait for you
and i wait for you
And the day goes through
and i waste my youth
and i waste my youth
but i know
that my heart wont take it
my soul wont make it
my eyes wont fake it
Its complicated
Our lives now wasting
Our minds now tested
Our souls infected
it's as expected
and i wont stand by you no more
As you fall asleep
to relax
to collect your thoughts
Stand again, on your feet
think that time, will never repeat
and i wait for you
and i wait for you
And the day goes through
and i waste my youth
and i waste my youth
but i know
that my heart wont take it
my soul wont make it
my eyes wont fake it
Its complicated
Our lives now wasting
Our minds now tested
Our souls infected
it's as expected
and i wont stand by you no more

Nothing can hold me still
i ve got the devil in me
You can hold my hands
put chains round my feet
but you could never stop me
i ve got the devil in me
You can throw me down
put my face to the ground
but you could never stop me
i ve got the devil in me
i ve got the devil in me
No prison can ever hold me
I m freeer than you'll ever be
IVe got the devil in me
No prison can ever hold me
I m freeer than you'ever be
IVe got the devil in me
IVe got the devil in me
And you could never steal
The power that lies in me
You can give it try
I'll spread my wings and fly
And you will never catch me
I've got the devil in me
Cause im free in my heart
You would not understand
But you could never stop me
i've got the devil in me
i've got the devil in me
No prison can ever hold me
I m freeer than you will ever be
IVe got the devil in me
No prison can ever hold me
I m freeer than you will ever be
IVe got the devil in me
IVe got the devil in me
Vultures want to eat my soul
I wont die in this hellhole
cause i
I've got the devil in me
My flesh may shred my skin will die
But my soul is always alive
cause i
I've got the devil in me

Just once
02:29

You knew that we would part though
I sang to you songs
That came straight from the heart
Right from the soul
It’s not easy
And it didn’t feel right
I saw you on the street just the other day
It’s been only one week since
You went away
It’s not easy, and it didn’t feel right
You gotta dance, dance with me girl
Just dance, dance with me girl
Just once, cause I never really had
A chance
Cause you look like the devil
Breathing fire while I tremble
And die
My life goes on just like you said
Sometimes though it seems that i
Wish I was dead
It’s not easy to do it right
I wish that I could say that
I wish you the best but you
Just hurt me deeper than all
The rest so baby
If you wanna do right
You gotta dance, dance with me girl
Just dance, dance with me girl
Just once, cause I never really had
A chance
You gotta dance, dance with me girl
Just dance, dance with me girl
Just once, cause I never really had
A chance
You gotta dance, dance with me girl
Just dance, dance with me girl
Just once, cause I never really had
A chance

What can i say now girl
When i look in your eyes i feel us not being close
You kinda liked me one day
But you changed your mind cause it doesn't cost you a lot
I don't want what you want
But i can tell the diference
cause i need you, you don't need me
I don't know the symptoms
But i guess it shows when you are not sleeping alone
And I don't hate nobody
But he made you laugh and he didn't do half of what ive done
I don't want what you want
But i can tell the diference
cause i need you, you don't need me
I don't want what you want
But i can tell the diference
cause i need you, you don't need me
I don't want what you want
But i can tell the diference
cause i need you, you don't need me

The low days
05:31

Take the train that we all know
the one we hate it departs
Sirens souns when you get in
The breaks dont work once it starts
The following night is yours now
You step away from my sun
The sign is there on your shoulder
It shows that i was your man
I don't know what went wrong
The story of my life
and it's you inside my head
until the next time
A poem a day and an insight
the will to be by your side
A touch of luck and some red wine
made a good state of mind
I will cover your ears
when it gets too loud
It still hurts me a bit though
that i couldn't make you proud
I don't know what went wrong
the story of my life
and it's you inside my head
until the next time
I gotta learn to beat the odds
and i have to beat time
and if i ever learn to win
victory is mine

I want her

I want her
I saw her across the street
and now i need her
i need her here with me
I have to see her, deceive her
Make her lose her grip
And now i want her, believe me
I know she is good for me
I kinda see it, imagine
The way the we would be
And i'm obssessing, it's depressing
But i can't change a thing
I'm gonna love you
till the end of days
I found her
And she belongs to me
I dream about her
Into my deepest sleep
I always see her
and hear her
Like a crazy dream

The road not taken
03:47
|
|

I left my heart when i reached
the crossroads
and i took the other way
I wasnt so sure
and deep down i was afraid
But i ve come to learn
there's more than just one way
and all the other roads i didnt take
like dreams of a long sleep but i'm awake
And all the other promises i didnt make
i walked away some say i escaped
What if
what if
what if the road is all we ll ever have
what if
what if
If we arrive then what is left for us
we ll never know
I saw the map i did the math
i planned my course
For each and every step
No matter what i did i always
came across
a choice, a set of doors
And all the other places i didnt see
Part of a plan that we remain to see
And all the other people i didnt meet
will live their lives, be what they want to be
What if
what if
what if the road is all we ll ever have
what if
what if
If we arrive then what is left for us
we ll never know

Something for the road
03:59

You might need
Something for the road
Everything counts
And as you go
Everyone you know
Every little thing
Will change
Cause you ll be gone
Someplace else
And I ll be here
In this mess
You will think of me
But the feeling deep
Will go
Tonight Ill drink
Something for the pain
And my head will spin
Once again
And as I go
Your memory will grow
Something for the wind
To blow
And you ll be gone
Someplace else
And I ll be here
In this mess
You will think of me
But the feeling deep
Will go

Goodbye

She had a dream
she didnt know why
to live by the sea
to always be free
He was taken away
they came in the night
They gave him a gun
They cant understand
Goodbye goodbye
goodbye my lover he cried
Goodbye goodbye
goodbye my lover she cried
For ten long years
He tried to escape
And fly to the west
Like a bird in her nest
She was married again
She didn't know why
This time not out of love
With a different man
Goodbye goodbye
goodbye my lover he cried
Goodbye goodbye
goodbye my lover she cried
