Set Me Free

I’ve walked past these busy streets
Always backwards
Stolen thing I couldn’t keep
Just to call them mine
Getting used to be here standing on my own
Only me, a smile, a guitar and a song
And yet the road remains so very long ahead
And the rain might never wash all that was said
Still here with open hands
Nothing but freedom planned
Looking to see what life might have in store for me
To set me free
I have fought my share of dark thoughts
On this land
Kissed sweet lips and drawn too much
Lines in the sand
Been in love enough to want it back someday
Old enough to know where to stop on my way
And yet the road remains so very long ahead
And the rain might never wash all that was said
Still here with open hands
Nothing but freedom planned
Looking to see what life might have in store for me
To set me free
To set me free (x3)
And yet the road remains so very long ahead
And the rain might never wash all that was said
Still here with open hands
Nothing but freedom planned
Looking to see what life might have in store for me
To set me free

Spin The Wheel

One more night to face out here and on my own
One more song to write to stop feeling alone
Just some words to sing to come and fill the dark
A light as timid as a spark
And I don’t want say I wish you were with me
To come and throw your lies at me
I know you don’t care, you’ve got enough to bear
Who said life had to be fair?
And it’s OK if you please
Not to be there in times like these
Because I can paddle alone
And find an island of my own
It’s hard to get but not to feel
If out of luck just spin the wheel
One more ride to take me where I don’t belong
A stolen kiss to warm my bones
Many broken limbs and yet a single crutch
The beauty of a secret crush
And it’s OK if you please
Not to be there in times like these
Because I can paddle alone
And find an island on my own
It’s hard to get but not to feel
If out of luck just spin the wheel

Farewell

It’s been a long night, darling
And I don’t even know your name
It’s funny how I get the feeling
That you keep smiling in vain
You were the sweetest way to lie
A lovely kind of breakdown
Just one to come light up the sky
Over my sad empty town
‘Cause love’s quick to deceive
And beauty always leaves
“Forever” casts no spell
Farewell my naive belle
Cold coffee on the counter
And we ran out of things to say
I sort of wish that I was with her
As you start counting down the days
‘Cause love’s quick to deceive
And beauty always leaves
“Forever” casts no spell
Farewell my naive belle
Maybe the next one will be right
And you might meet him here tonight
Running in circles in a blur
‘Cause we don’t want the best, but much better
But much better
‘Cause love’s quick to deceive
And beauty always leaves
“Forever” casts no spell
Farewell my naive belle

Stranger

I wonder how I might have felt, this very day
Had you been by my side
Your words still echoing away, I drift astray
Colorless yet kind of blue
To miss you seems a sweet demise, a meagre price
To know you
A postcard on a wooden door, mint green allure
Meant to make I missed you too and
Sum up this day in a few lines
And make sure you lose track of time
When things get so natural they hurt
I hope you’ll find your secrets’ worth
And there is no way to explain, all logic fails
Chemistry without science
A day in our eventful lives, a fly in the air
Confusing me in blinding lights
Sum up this day in a few lines
And make sure lose track of time
When things get so natural they hurt
I hope you’ll find your secrets’ worth
Tragedy tastes sweet tonight, cosy and bright
The shadow to your light
Forces me to seize the day, then walk away
Knowing there’s just no way this will stay
Hope you find the questions to your answers
Was the distance just part of your terms?
A lesson learned, a slippery slope
An ivy tower and a rope

I see your ghost hanging by the door
Can’t face the fact you’re really gone
My heart’s splinters covering the floor
A bet that no one really won
And since this is the end
I hope this scarf will keep your warm
Darling know our hearts will mend
And that you’ll soon be in his arms
So many tabs we had left to discuss
Stains of spilled wine screaming your name
So many nights wasted dreaming of us
At least I have your eyes to blame
And since this is the end
I hope this scarf will keep your warm
Chloe know our hearts will mend
And that you’ll soon be in his arms
When the sun’ll replace the rain
And when all that’s left are scars
I’ll find beauty in this pain
And smile despite and afterall
When all is lost and down the drain
But bottles on your bedroom’s wall
My life will never be the same
And you won’t remember me at all
At all

Snow Queen (Bonus Track)

Here's to the words that she won't say
A sentence of closure choked away
Snow Queen's ready for the ball
A glimpse of hope ever so small
On her pedestal she stays
And her role she finely plays
And here she comes
As flawless as she always was
And I'm just hung up at her smile
Which I'll pretend's for me this time
An empty word, a winking eye
A beauty born between half-lies
Always proper, always nice
She's as smooth and soft as ice
She calls everyone a friend
But no one knows her in the end
And there she goes
And I won't see her for a while
Her mask still holds
But for a twinkle in her eye
And I hear the sweetest rhymes
When I fill the gaps between her smiles
Who knows what goes on in her mind
But that is not for me to find
Snow Queen's mystery lives on
And I'll never know what she felt on
The night I almost reached for her hand
When rainfall took me home
Blurring out our lines drawn in the sand
