[Verse]
The curtains dance with morning light
The paper’s on the porch, just right
I pour one cup, out of old routine
But yours stays clean, untouched, unseen

The church bells ring like they always do
But I don’t put on that dress for you
The streets feel wide, the sky too blue
And nothing fits like it used to do

[Chorus]
'Cause Sundays without you
Feel like stories that don’t end
Like prayers I whisper
But never send
The coffee’s still bitter
The silence too loud
I still set your place
But you’re not around
And I’m stuck in the hollow of truth
On Sundays without you

[Verse]
Your flannel’s still on the hallway chair
Your book left open, pages bare
I play that song you used to hum
And try to smile, but nothing comes

The world moves on, they say it will
But this house has never been so still
The breeze comes in, it smells like June
But I’m just haunted by your tune

[Chorus]
Sundays without you
Feel like seconds stretched to years
Like sunlight burning
Through unshed tears
The pancakes go cold
The mail goes unread
I talk to your picture
Propped up by the bed
And I ache with the things I can’t do
On Sundays without you

[Bridge]
Maybe time will dull the pain
Maybe laughter will come like rain
But there’s a quiet I can’t break through
Not on Sundays without you

[Chorus]
Sundays without you
Are the hardest to bear
I still reach across
To find you there
And though the world spins
Like it’s brand new
I’m caught in a loop
Of missing you
And no one prepares you for the view
Of Sundays without you.

Sundays without you

(Verse)
You stopped telling me about your day
Stopped calling just to hear my voice
We still sat across the table
But somehow love had lost its noise

I kept trying to hold the pieces
Thinking time would make them fit
Never saw the door wide open
'Til you finally walked through it

(Pre-Chorus)
Looking back, it all seems clear
The ending started long before

(Chorus)
You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
There were empty spaces growing
In the words we never said

You left before you left
And I was holding on to memories
Trying to save what wasn't there
While you were already somewhere else

(Verse)
I still know the way you'd laugh
The little things that made you smile
Funny how a heart can miss someone
Who'd been gone for quite a while

I don't blame you for the leaving
Or the choices that you made
I just wish I'd seen the distance
Before it got too far away

(Pre-Chorus)
Looking back, it all seems clear
The ending started long before

(Chorus)
You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
There were empty spaces growing
In the words we never said

You left before you left
And I was holding on to memories
Trying to save what wasn't there
While you were already somewhere else

(Bridge)
Maybe love doesn't always break
Maybe sometimes it just fades
One slow step at a time
Until there's nothing left to save

(Final Chorus)
You left before you left
And now I finally understand it
The hardest part was never losing you
It was losing you in pieces

You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
And I still hear the silence
Where our future used to be

You left before you left

(Verse 1)
We used to fold our dreams like notes
Passed in class and whispered quotes
You held my hand like I was gold
But now it’s slipping through the fold

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you love without regret
But some things tear when they get wet

(Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Drawn together, torn apart
You held mine with careless hands
And now I barely understand
Why something so light could break so hard
We were just... two paper hearts

(Verse 2)
You said forever like a song
But some sweet lines don’t last that long
I stayed and watched you drift away
Like ink that fades with light of day

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you all, I gave it true
But fragile things can’t stand abuse

(Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Crushed beneath the weight of stars
You held mine like it wouldn’t tear
But you forgot how soft things wear
And now I guard what once felt art
We were just... two paper hearts

(Bridge)
Maybe one day you will see
What you meant to me
But by then I’ll be
A little more than torn debris

(Final Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Born to burn, not built to last
Now I fold what's left of me
Into something only I can see
And carry on, though it still starts
With memories... of paper hearts

(Outro)
Just memories... of paper hearts...

One more night

(Verse)
The sun fades low, the sky turns warm,
We find our way where hearts conform.
Laughter spills across the space,
Every moment holds your grace.

(Pre-Chorus)
No need to rush, the world’s at ease,
Time stands still in nights like these.

(Chorus)
Endless summer nights, we’ll keep them near,
Every word you say, I want to hear.
Underneath the stars, we’re free to roam,
Endless summer nights, they feel like home.

(Verse)
A melody plays, soft and clear,
It pulls us close, it keeps us here.
The world is calm, the air is sweet,
This is the place where we both meet.

(Pre-Chorus)
Let the moments stretch, let them stay,
We’ll hold on tight to this perfect day.

(Chorus)
Endless summer nights, we’ll keep them near,
Every word you say, I want to hear.
Underneath the stars, we’re free to roam,
Endless summer nights, they feel like home.

(Bridge)
And if the seasons take this away,
These memories will never stray.
We’ll carry them through every year,
Endless summer nights will stay right here.

Endless summer nights, we’ll keep them near,
Every word you say, I want to hear.
Underneath the stars, we’re free to roam,
Endless summer nights, they feel like home.

So let’s stay here, let’s make it last,
In endless summer nights, no time has passed.
With every breath, with every smile,
Endless summer nights make life worthwhile.

Endless summer nights

Vers 1:
She walks in, it’s a scene from a dream, 
Got that smile that makes the whole room gleam. 
You know she’s trouble, but I can’t resist, 
Every little glance pulls me in like this.

Pre-Chorus:
She’s got a way of playing it cool, 
Like a game, she knows the rules. 
But when she moves, it’s like a dance, 
I’m caught in her spell, can’t miss this chance.

Chorus:
She’s a tempting stranger, can’t let her go, 
A wild adventure, just stealing the show. 
I know she’s trouble, but I’m drawn to her light, 
With every heartbeat, I’m ready for the night. 
Tempting stranger, don’t you see? 
You’re the only one who’s got a hold on me. 
I’m dancing with danger, but I like the thrill, 
With every moment, you’re giving me chills.

Vers 2:
She laughs like a melody, sweet and bright,
Pulls me closer, I can’t fight this flight. 
With every whisper, she knows my name, 
Playing with fire, but I’m loving the game.

Pre-Chorus 
She’s got a way of making me weak, 
Like a spell, I can’t help but seek. 
But when she moves, it feels so right, 
I’m lost in her gaze, ready for the night.

Chorus:
She’s a tempting stranger, can’t let her go, 
A wild adventure, just stealing the show. 
I know she’s trouble, but I’m drawn to her light, 
With every heartbeat, I’m ready for the night. 
Tempting stranger, don’t you see? 
You’re the only one who’s got a hold on me. 
I’m dancing with danger, but I like the thrill, 
With every moment, you’re giving me chills.

Bridge:
So take my hand, let’s chase the stars, 
We’ll run away, forget the scars. 
With you beside me, the world’s a game, 
A whirlwind of passion, never the same.

Chorus:
She’s a tempting stranger, can’t let her go, 
A wild adventure, just stealing the show. 
I know she’s trouble, but I’m drawn to her light, 
With every heartbeat, I’m ready for the night. 
Tempting stranger, don’t you see? 
You’re the only one who’s got a hold on me. 
I’m dancing with danger, but I like the thrill, 
With every moment, you’re giving me chills.

Outro:
Tempting stranger, can’t let you go, 
You’re the wildest ride, and I’m ready to go.
Tempting stranger, stay with me tonight, 
We’ll make this moment feel so right.

Tempting stranger

Verse 1
The city hums, a restless beat,
A rhythm in the crowded street.
I hear the sound, it pulls me in,
A call to break where life begins.

Pre-Chorus
Feel the pulse, it’s lifting me,
A spark ignites where we can be.

Chorus
Run free, no chains, no walls to climb,
This is our moment, our time to shine.
Run free, the night’s our open stage,
Step by step, we turn the page.

Verse 2
The glow of lights, the bass in sync,
A fire’s lit, no time to think.
We're on the edge, we won’t look back,
The world is ours, we’re on the track.

Pre-Chorus
Feel the pulse, it’s lifting me,
A spark ignites where we can be.

Chorus
Run free, no chains, no walls to climb,
This is our moment, our time to shine.
Run free, the night’s our open stage,
Step by step, we turn the page.

Bridge
The beat takes over, hearts align,
No need to stop, we’re out of time.
Together loud, the sound is clear,
In every step, we lose our fear.

Final Chorus
Run free, no chains, no walls to climb,
This is our moment, our time to shine.
Run free, the night’s our open stage,
Step by step, we turn the page.

Outro
Run free, the rhythm’s calling you,
Run free, a life that’s bold and true.

Run free

**couplet 1** 
Ik loop door de stad, verloren in gedachten, Mensen passeren, maar niemand blijft me bij. 
Totdat ik jou zie, een glimp van jouw ogen, 
En alles stopt, de wereld voelt weer vrij. 

**Pre-refrein** 
De lucht kleurt zachter, de tijd vertraagt, 
Mijn hartslag stijgt, alsof het jouw naam draagt. 

**refrein** 
Als ik jou zie, 
Verandert alles om me heen. 
De chaos verdwijnt, 
En ik voel me niet alleen. 
Je brengt me thuis, 
Ook al ben je een vreemde voor mij. 
Als ik jou zie, 
Dan voel ik: ik leef, ik ben vrij. 

**couplet 2** 
Ik vraag me af, ken jij ditzelfde gevoel? 
Of ben ik alleen, gevangen in dit moment? 
Je lacht naar mij, alsof je het weet, 
Een licht dat brandt, intens en ongekend. 

**Pre-refrein** 
De wereld draait sneller, maar ik blijf staan,  Jij bent het anker dat mij kan verstaan. 

**refrein** 
Als ik jou zie, 
Verandert alles om me heen. 
De chaos verdwijnt, 
En ik voel me niet alleen. 
Je brengt me thuis, 
Ook al ben je een vreemde voor mij. 
Als ik jou zie, 
Dan voel ik: ik leef, ik ben vrij. 

**Bridge** 
Misschien zijn we vreemden, of zijn we al meer, 
Een lot dat zich vormt, een onzichtbare sfeer. 
Wat als dit moment de start is van iets, 
Een leven met jou, een eindeloos lied? 

**Refrein** 
Als ik jou zie, 
Verandert alles om me heen. 
De chaos verdwijnt, 
En ik voel me niet alleen. 
Je brengt me thuis, 
Ook al ben je een vreemde voor mij. 
Als ik jou zie, 
Dan voel ik: ik leef, ik ben vrij. 

**Slot** 
Als ik jou zie, 
Is het alsof de wereld weer klopt. 
Een nieuwe dag breekt aan, 
En jij bent waar het stopt.

Als ik jou zie

[Verse]
The curtains dance with morning light
The paper’s on the porch, just right
I pour one cup, out of old routine
But yours stays clean, untouched, unseen

The church bells ring like they always do
But I don’t put on that dress for you
The streets feel wide, the sky too blue
And nothing fits like it used to do

[Chorus]
'Cause Sundays without you
Feel like stories that don’t end
Like prayers I whisper
But never send
The coffee’s still bitter
The silence too loud
I still set your place
But you’re not around
And I’m stuck in the hollow of truth
On Sundays without you

[Verse]
Your flannel’s still on the hallway chair
Your book left open, pages bare
I play that song you used to hum
And try to smile, but nothing comes

The world moves on, they say it will
But this house has never been so still
The breeze comes in, it smells like June
But I’m just haunted by your tune

[Chorus]
Sundays without you
Feel like seconds stretched to years
Like sunlight burning
Through unshed tears
The pancakes go cold
The mail goes unread
I talk to your picture
Propped up by the bed
And I ache with the things I can’t do
On Sundays without you

[Bridge]
Maybe time will dull the pain
Maybe laughter will come like rain
But there’s a quiet I can’t break through
Not on Sundays without you

[Chorus]
Sundays without you
Are the hardest to bear
I still reach across
To find you there
And though the world spins
Like it’s brand new
I’m caught in a loop
Of missing you
And no one prepares you for the view
Of Sundays without you.

Sundays without you

(Verse)
You stopped telling me about your day
Stopped calling just to hear my voice
We still sat across the table
But somehow love had lost its noise

I kept trying to hold the pieces
Thinking time would make them fit
Never saw the door wide open
'Til you finally walked through it

(Pre-Chorus)
Looking back, it all seems clear
The ending started long before

(Chorus)
You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
There were empty spaces growing
In the words we never said

You left before you left
And I was holding on to memories
Trying to save what wasn't there
While you were already somewhere else

(Verse)
I still know the way you'd laugh
The little things that made you smile
Funny how a heart can miss someone
Who'd been gone for quite a while

I don't blame you for the leaving
Or the choices that you made
I just wish I'd seen the distance
Before it got too far away

(Pre-Chorus)

Long before goodbye was spoken
There were empty spaces growing
In the words we never said

And I was holding on to memories
Trying to save what wasn't there
While you were already somewhere else

(Bridge)
Maybe love doesn't always break
Maybe sometimes it just fades
One slow step at a time
Until there's nothing left to save

(Final Chorus)
You left before you left
And now I finally understand it
The hardest part was never losing you
It was losing you in pieces

You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
And I still hear the silence
Where our future used to be

You left before you left

(Verse 1)
We used to fold our dreams like notes
Passed in class and whispered quotes
You held my hand like I was gold
But now it’s slipping through the fold

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you love without regret
But some things tear when they get wet

(Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Drawn together, torn apart
You held mine with careless hands
And now I barely understand
Why something so light could break so hard
We were just... two paper hearts

(Verse 2)
You said forever like a song
But some sweet lines don’t last that long
I stayed and watched you drift away
Like ink that fades with light of day

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you all, I gave it true
But fragile things can’t stand abuse

(Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Crushed beneath the weight of stars
You held mine like it wouldn’t tear
But you forgot how soft things wear
And now I guard what once felt art
We were just... two paper hearts

(Bridge)
Maybe one day you will see
What you meant to me
But by then I’ll be
A little more than torn debris

(Final Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Born to burn, not built to last
Now I fold what's left of me
Into something only I can see
And carry on, though it still starts
With memories... of paper hearts

(Outro)
Just memories... of paper hearts...
