We take over
And fall over
We tear up still more

We blow our way
And take away
But nowhere to go

I was just going out the other day
Wondering why we felt dark inside
I was told to keep my fears at bay
I'd rather just speak my mind

Chorus:

Let the morning sun shine in
Can you hear the birds join in?
Just play their music once more
And leave an open door

Let the morning sun shine in
You feel the warmth, just breathe in

And if you can feel it too
I'll keep this song for you

When on the run
Nowhere to turn
It's so hard alone

You lose your way
They fade away
Just out here on your own

When you claim you feel useless everyday
May I now just for once disagree,
Since I've learned truth indeed sets you free

What if I feel like singing?

(Chorus)

Let the morning sun shine in

Just three words on a sheet
Nothing more
Let them all come and see
That we now know the score
Just three words on a sheet
Let the memories be back
Through this old melody
We won't need more than that

Just three words on a sheet
As they say
For the whole world to see
Our embrace fly away
Just three words on a sheet
And forgive yesterday
Take my hand, how it feels
Let me word it this way:

Chorus (1):

You know, I know
But at times my heart feels sore
I want to run the show
But my pain’s still in sight

You know, I know
Can you just say it once more?
I just want to be sure
That we’re now here to stay

Just three words on a sheet
As before
For this first fantasy
That we once went in for
Just three words on a sheet
Why would I reach for more?
This is hard to believe
But I'll sing it still more:

(Chorus 1)

***

Chorus (2):

You know, I know
All we need is look out for
What is felt deep inside
Then it won't fade away

You know, I know
And this way more than before
No, we won't beg for more
'Cause you're now here to stay

Just three words on a sheet, here to stay

Just three words on a sheet

Give me
What you feel is no more
Give me
What has walked out the door
Give me all you'd never hope for

Give me
His whisper without smile
Give me
Her embrace with no sigh
Give me all that has now gone awry
All that makes you cry

Chorus (1):

I want it all
So that you can now reach out
For, this new world you do without
For, I've been told it calls you out

I want it all
You just have to do it right
All, that you thought could never fly
For, I've just found a way to shine

In your eyes…
(In her eyes)

Give me
What is left on the floor
Give me
What you won't come out for
Give me all you'd never wish for

Give me
What should die by and by
Give me
Two lovers who can't fight
Give me all that gives you quite a fright
Would you ever try?

Chorus (1)

***

Chorus (2):

I want it all
Knowing that you're here to stay
Sure, I still need to feel my way
For, you and me to fly away

I want it all

Chorus (2):

I want it all
Knowing that you're here to stay
Sure, I still need to feel my way
For, you and me to fly away

I want it all

What I hope for
All I wish for
Is for her to sigh once more

And to feel right
I'll just sit tight
Would she paint another smile?

Would she know?
Could it show?
If I cry when on my own?

All I pray for…

Could that be all mine?
Would she take flight?
When I fail to say things right?

This is absurd
Way too absurd
She has given me her word

Say it again
Now and again
For them all to hear the same

You’ll see in time
You too will play this game

Chorus:

He will love you and I’ll go insane
And no doubt you will laugh at my pain
You’ll be this wayward girl no Dad can blame

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

And you will call me when you feel down
I’ll comfort you when he’s not around
So I can feel you’re sound

This wake-up call
Now way too small
I could hold her in my hands
For after all
Once and for all
She could be my baby grand
Just let me play
Why, everyday
This melody here to stay
Through these notes hopefully she will know the way

(Chorus)

What I hope for
All I wish for
Is for her to smile once more

Feeling right
And just sit tight
Would you paint another sigh?

Yet how would you know?
How could it show?
When I cry when on my own?

All I pray for…
All I pray for…

Will you then be here to play?

All I pray for…
All I pray for…

Would you let me sing once more?

How I cry …
How to cry behind my doors

All I pray for

I want to know: will you step inside?
For me to show what you dream all night
This place to go, I'm told all is bright
I want to know, please let me describe

If pushed away, why would you feel low?
I’m here to stay, with no place to go
We’ll save the day, now more than before

Chorus:

I want to know
How does it feel to feel that close to you?
When in the dark I know you see me through
The ecstasy of your embrace I guess would pull me through

I want to know
When in your eyes I hear you’re pleased to go
Is it a crime to love you yet once more?
When lost I feel ever, ever so sure
I just won’t let go

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh

I want to know: could this still be done?
No status quo? Then we’ll beat the gun
Go with the flow can be so fun
I want to know let’s become one

If out of place, call it a night
But just in case, you hold me tight
And to keep pace, I’ll say it once more

(Chorus)

I want to know

I feel
Whatever they say
I hear
You might come over sooner
Than expected
I fear
What if they won’t show?
(My tears)
Will you be here to stay?
Would you run away?

Chorus:

What is this thing I feel inside?
That tells dark from bright
Should I ask for more?

What is this thing I feel inside?
That sifts wrong from right
I can’t be too sure
If you see me right
Come close like before

What is this thing I…?

What is this thing I feel inside?
That scares me outright
Yet pushed me outdoors

What is this thing I feel inside?
Let me sing it twice:
Honey, I’m all yours
Yes, you’ve heard it right
I’ll say it once more

What is this thing I…?
What is this thing I feel inside?

For sure
When you, love, walked out
My door
And hoped for your new life
What could I say?
No more
To tell you yet
As before
I feel like shouting out
And sing it out loud

(all right)

(Chorus)

What is this thing I feel inside?
What is this thing I feel inside?
What is this thing I feel inside?

This thing I feel inside

Your pain is in disguise
It makes you go over
What your heart won't deny
All it can see is a blur

If silence makes one hard to stand
Am I likely to get through?

Chorus (1):

And you feel so small
You're a bended soul
When it feels so wrong
Far inside
Tired to be strong
Yet alive

And if c'est la vie
Then I want to learn
How you can help me
And return
Like it used to be
When you'd heal me

No lessons yet to learn
Take my soul away
And if I've crashed and burned
I do want to display

My love until I'm turning blue
Will you maybe see me through?

Chorus (2):

And if I'm nothing
But a bended soul
I still own your heart
Deep inside
Never to depart
From our life

And if c'est la vie
I know how to learn
So that you see me
Do return
Like it used to be
When you'd heal me
Here with me

Bended soul

Lost or found
I hear your heart
Beat, often close to mine
And if we live poles apart
I know you walk the line

What if, when all is said and done
I hear night can't be bright?
You would, my soul,
Play the role
And reach out for a sign

Bliss resounds
And all around
No-body seems to fare
Do I need to make it sound
As, if you really cared?

I'd be proud to make amends
Should life fill you with doubts
If you want me to defend

Whatever you fear deep inside
You hear me out, I say it right

Chorus:

Why, you, my other soul
Even when out of place
I won't fear your disgrace
You're all I could ever know

Why, through high and low
And as far as I can see
You're always here with me

Should you fall
I'd raise you down
Here, where pain fades away
You won't need to mill around
You, know I'm here to stay

I don’t mind playing the game
If at times wrong feels right
And now you wish you could explain

Whatever I fear deep inside
I hear you out, you say it right

(Chorus)

Should you fall,
I’d raise you down here…

My other soul
