The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming, 2007

Am I OK here
I think you ought to know this
Another day not unlike any other
It's been like this so long

Are you OK dear
I know I should have noticed
A quiet day not unlike any other
It's been like this so long

*Whatever you want from me
Whoever I try to be
I will never be there
I can never be her in your society*

Am I OK dear
I think you want to know this
Duties I leave not to take on another
And if I don't fall this night
I will have to go along

Unless something strange will happen
There's still something to be done
This story will go on for long

Do you ever get tired of the football kids
With their sporty styles
When you stay home they run miles
And don't you ever get bored with the job you've got
You wanted it badly
But wish you were on the dole

I've got what it takes to be on my way
With pen and paper I'll say
I know you all
Read about yourselves in my essay
I've got what it takes to be on my way
In a book I'll claim

Do you ever get tired of the friends you have
As you got them talking
There's no stopping them now
And don't you get tired of the lack of time
Whatever you're starting always goes on for years

I felt tired tonight
Keep me out of sight

I've got what it takes to be on my way
With pen and paper I'll say
I know you all
Read about yourselves in my essay
I've got what it takes to be on my way
In a book I'll claim
I know your kind
You fill up my mind

Time is short now we'll be here
Nowhere left to go
And if you'd miss me when I'm gone
Go when I go
Then maybe we can stay together

*Hopes and dreams they won't last long now
We keep it all inside
Answers come when we don't want to hear*

Time is short now quiet down
Everything is still
If you stay here close to home
Deeper we'll fall
And maybe we can stay together

The drugs you take will make you happy they say
It's another lie
And the steps you take to make the young girls break
Is no surprise
It's expected to come around

*All I know everything goes
My way is no way it's yours
A warm day in heaven*

The life you fake will makr you good they say
It's another lie
And the plans you make to make uo for mistakes
Are they helping out
They're gonna get you when you're down

In my early ages I ran down the stairs
In the morning
No dark rooms
I kept the lights on
And there was noise when I woke up
And noise in the evening
It gave me comfort there
So I could bear

*Now let the sun shine in
And clouds pass through
I want our sky to open up here too
Cause I need heaven just ilke you*

In my first years there were sunny days
In the spring and the sunnmer
And when winter came
I was still the same
On summer night opened my eyes
I woke up from a safe life in a time ahead
No lights would be shed

And though I don't remember much
I still feel the same
And through I don't talk that much
There are things to say
But not today

He's away
You feel OK with a picture of him
If I come around
Safe and sound
Then maybe we can fool around

*I have no promises to keep
There's no love that makes me weak
That much in true
I have no promises to keep
A double bed wherer no one sleep
Now it's up to you*

He's away
Working late
And you should live for today
If I come around
It would be so much fun
Then maybe we could fool around

When I say you treat me differently
From the one who laid here before me
I'm not saying I want to be in his shoes
I am happy in my own boots

We leave the north cause we're different
Empty houses greet us wherever we go
We turn our heads not to see them
And you turn yours not to see us

We keep our eyes in the distance
Cause desolation greets us wherever we go
We travel roads made for no one
Someone built them
Then they moved om

*We'll be gone
If we keep driving we can not go wrong
And we'll be wrong
For the once we promised
We'd never return*

We leave the north cause it's different
And we see trees but never anyone who talks
A land of pines not of people
Await a landscape unlike ours

I got away in the morning light
After staying awake all night
I saww that man standing by the sea
I'm coming back here anyway

*Well I want to do good
But I've been doing wrong
I do what I do but I don't understand it
I see and I hear
But I don't know what you demand of me*

A gentle way can save a life
You looked away and opened my eyes
But I remember every word I spoke
It still cuts like a sharpened knife

I was old from the start
Now I'm young at heart

I get up in the morning sun
In time for my beloved one
My day has not begun
I'm waiting for the sunshine

*But I don't know you
Sometimes I feel like
I want to know you
I have what it takes to
Come real close
And be there when you want to be seen*

Splendour of the morning sunn
Lead me till the day is done
When nights is coming on
Am I waiting for a good sign

And we'll be all right in the say light

I had it going
Didn't want to show it
Took it all for granted
So when I lost it I could say
I didn't want it anyway,it's OK
　　
*Where birds don't fly
That's where I'm going to be
And if you see I'm back the very next day
That is not me*
　　
I had it going
Couldn't really show it
If I did I'd lose it
Superstitious
I stayed too ambitious
Waiting for the final act
And never come back
　　
Where I'm going
You can't see me
You can't meet me
Even if you wanted to
Where I'm going
There are no streets
But I'll be walking
The streets of my home town

When I'm with you baby
I can close my eyes
And when I hear you
Maybe I can put my thoughts aside

*This is the safest way
Cause you were the boy
Who couldn't stop dreaming
And I was just like you
So why not admit to me
It's the only way for you*

You have a word of comfort
When I'm feeling down
And I have words of comfort
When you feel so down

All you wanted to say was goodbye
You had to get on with your life
All you wanted to say was goodbye
Goodbye
