Andrei

Oh I still remember that day in June
When you came up with that banging tune
I could've thought that you were mine
But then we'd just run out of time
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR

You were the love of my life
But then you just dropped out like that
I had plans for the rest of our life
But then you jumped and all that was left of you was a splat
Oh we were so good together (so good together)
There were times when we felt cyanide and wine
But for the most part we were together till the end of time

The country fields, the coastal seas
The animals outside, the birds in the skies
We were meant to be together for time
And in gods plan you had enough
To be with me till the day I died

You were the love of my life
But then you just dropped out like that
I had plans for the rest of our life
But then you jumped and all that was left of you was a splat
Oh we were so good together (so good together)
And there were times when we felt like cyanide and wine (Cyanide and wine)
But for the most part we were supposed together till the end of time

Speeding round those windy corners, going up and down over the hills
Rockin' left and right going over the waves
If it wasn't for you being on those tours and taking all those pills
Then maybe you could set out and watch them wave

Just one more time, baby just give me one more time
One more time when I could be with you and only you
I would give anything just to be with you on that final day

You had a talent to see the best
Even if the person, couldn't see it themselves
You would find a way to fill them up
Only so someone else could break them down
We were going to the city of Newark
But then I couldn't any work
All because you took that jump
And you made me feel like I'm in a huge dump

Yeah you knew were best friends together
But now that you're gone I've got her forever
We are now living in New Orleans
All the back across the pond in Scotland
You will lay there till the day I die
All alone just because you took those pills
All alone just because you took those pills
And now I'm married to your sister
All because you took those pills

You still smelled of that last cigarette
And your clothes were soaking wet
You said "I need a place where I can get off ket"
And I told you I had a room to let

Yeah we got clean together
And we were meant to be together, forever
We were going on trips before this together
And now only in a few years will we be back together

Tell me how it feels
Locked away in there
No more beaches with that sandy feel
No more fresh and wonder-full air

Yeah me and you we were in this together
And you promised we would stay this way forever
And now your room is up for sale or to let
Did you really need to get that ket

Now I've got to see you behind those bars
I've been so down low I've been pissing into jars
I lost my best friend, partner and wife
You were taken from me just all at once
And I'm contemplating just ending life
Just putting an end to all that pain at once

Me and you used to be so much together
But now I'm with someone else from Hanover
I did say you could come over whenever
But I don't hope to see you forever

There's nowhere like our home
And there's nothing like our love
We have the world beneath our feet
And with you and those twins we'll have to manage our own fleet
We've seen the trees, and climbed those rocks
We've fished and we've hunted, we've made love under the sky
We've done everything we need, and we've even smoked some weed
We're ready for the challenges out of the hat
But lucky for us I used to play bat
We're a team, and we're a force
And we're a team and a force you don't want to force
No matter what happens we'll never give up
As long as we can play pants down hands up

We're shaping a life that we love
And hope that our kids will do the same for us too
Last year was the year that I got Dove
So next year I'll repay the favour with shampoo

When we were running down the hills
Watching the clouds get kicked by the fields
We had fun and were filled with cheers and thrills
And all of a sudden that came crashing down with a very big yield

As I was sitting in my bed thinking of you
The doorbell started ringing, so I thought it was you
But it was just a police sargent, with a phot of you
Now that I'm alone, and costantly remembering you
I realise that I need to stay strong, and not only to continue the case for you
But for our fleet that we had at our feet
Before the war we had a life, now during it I have lost it-and-you
I strongly considered ending it all, but I wake up thinking of you
You are my fire, my burning thirst for peace
Which is why I continue to fight to this day
Protecting our fleet and you
And that is why to this day
I fight in this war trying to protect your grave and our fleet

If you were still here I would be fighting for you
Now that you're not I'm fighting for you and the fleet
And if you were part of it but aive, the I would still be routing for you
But that is why that to this very day
I have been fighting in this gruesome world war
So that I can protect our fleet, and you in vein

Once we met, it was clear
That we were meant, to be together
Our love has taken us far
And I think that we could not be happier
We've been through good times and bad
But no matter through what, I'll love you there and back
And I know that this love
Will continue to be the best thing in our lives
And even if we get separated
We will never (ever) forget our travelling love sto-ry

Even if we never met that day
I feel as though we would've payed
All those things we would've missed
Like running in the back country and being pissed
All those times we could've played
With our children under-neath the sun-set
But the hardest thing of all
There would be no sto-ry to tell

Yeah even though it sounded like a teen romance
It worked out even better than someone else
I love you and you love me
And that's what matters most to me
[music]
When I saw you in that field
Lying drunk and face down with your friends
I picked you up and thought that is was a big-big yield
But it turned out to be more times ten

Even if we never met that day
I feel as though we would've payed
All those things we could've missed
Like running back country and being pissed
All those times we could've played
With our childeren under-neath the sun-set
But what is worse than all
Is that there would be no sto-ry to tell

My dad was always very wise
And he said you had to be young and dumb before you're old and wise
That saying is somewhat true
Because now that we're together we're just old and dumb
When you grow up and you have kids
You start to see things a different way
When you grow up and you go trave-lling the world you see
You see that it's not all about work and education
And it's about the smaller things in life
That can really change you or your wife

And even if we did not meet that day
I still believe we would have payed
Immagine, just immagine those things we would've missed
Like running out in the back country and getting pissed
Or like all those time we could've played
With our childeren underneath the setting sun
But I still think that to this day
The worst thing would be that there would be no sto-ry to tell
There would be no sto-ry to tell
No sto-ry to tell
We wouldn't have a sto-ry to tell
But now we have a story to tell
And we will tell it to anyone
Even if they are no---one

When I get back I’ll tell you I love you
It was so hard and it is never meant to be like this
On that day that I came over and sat with you
We said that it would never be like this

I’m gonna come back ba-by
Yeah I’m gonna come back
Just you wait for me, keep on waiting
I have one more thing to do before, I get back
Let me just fight this one last time
And let me just bring back peace this time
And then I’ll come back
I’ll put you right back in my arms
And then I’ll be happy I’m back

Remember those days
Remember when we had prom
And now I have a bad name
All because of where I’m from
But you don’t listen, don’t listen
Don’t listen to all that shit
Just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean I’m bad
But don’t you listen, don’t listen
Don’t you listen to all that shit
Just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean, I’m bad

I swore that I would come home
I promised you our kids would have, a father
I promised, I promised a lot
I promised to keep you safe
And I promised to get back home, alive
I promised, I promised to stay alive
And now, I’m beginning to think that that’s a lie
But I want you to know
That even if I die
I have told you a million times
I love you and you are great
And you are the beacon for my path
I really want to come back home
But it might be too late

I’m gonna come back ba-by
Yeah, I’m gonna come back
Just you wait for me, keep on waiting
I have one more thing to do before I get back
Let me just fight this one last time
And let me just bring back peace this time
And then I’ll come back
Then I’ll put you right back in my arms
And then you’ll be happy, that I’m back

Remember our first kiss
On that bridge, on the night that was filled, with-bliss
I changed so so much, there on that bridge
I would give anything to go back to the bridge
And just see you for one last time
Before I go out and disappear in time
I didn’t want to go, but I was made to
If I’d had the notice, I would’ve ran to anywhere to be with you
Now I’m stuck as a sniper, risking my life for someone else
I am facing the choice of “do this or else”
What would you do, if you would have the chance to run
And never be followed, and always be with you
I know that I would’ve ran, and I know that if I died
Then I would die trying to get to you
And then those promises that I used to make
Would be gone in a metaphorical earthquake
But listen to me, I would give anything to be with you
I am ready, Oh I am re-eady, to be with you
Even if the price is death
Even if the price is death

But remember those days
When we had prom
And now I’ve got a bad name
All because of where I’m from
But you don’t listen, don’t you listen
Don’t listen, to all that shit
Just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean I’m bad
But you don’t listen, don’t you listen
Don’t listen to all that shit
Just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean I’m bad
But just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean I’m mad
And just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean, I’m bad
And just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean you should be sad
And just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean you can beat me bad
And just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean, I’m bad
And just because of where someone’s from
Doesn’t mean that you should be bad
And just because of where someone’s from
Doesn’t mean that you should be sad
And just because of where someone is from, doesn’t mean that you should think they’re mad
And just because I’m Russian, doesn’t mean, I’m bad
Just because I’m Russian, People gang up on me
And just because I’m Russian, people don’t see the real me
Just because I’m Russian, people don’t see the real me
Just because I’m Russian, people don’t see the real me
Just because I’m Russian, people, don’t see, the real, me
People don’t see, people don’t see
People don’t see, the real me

I took a puff and rolled down the window
You pulled me over for speeding
I figured that you were a widow
So I didn’t even try pleading
When we spoke through my car window
I felt a hint of proceeding
Next time I saw you we were on the same side of my back window
You were writhing and squealing
I was just happy you weren’t the black widow
Because then I’d have to be pleading

When I went through with the relationship
I thought that it wouldn’t go further than a friend-ship
But when it went further than a friendship
Then it became my first real relationship

New years day a few years on
TV’s on and we’re listening to your new mountain song
It sounded quite funny but I played along
Because I wanted to use my bomb
When I used my bomb
You were shocked, surprised and gone
When you said it was the best you had
I was happy mad

When I went through with the relationship
I thought it wouldn’t go further than a friend-ship
But when it went further than a friendship
It became my first real relationship

I will never forget that day
We took a trip to a beach on a nice sunny day
I got down on one knee and said “hey”
“Will you marry me bae”
And when you said “Yay”
I thought that the last thing I would see is the nice day
I hadn’t told you the biggest secret I had kept
I’d been up in stormy weather and almost got swept
A few times I got close
But never too close
Eventually the secret will surface
And I’ll need to stand up face-to-face
I was a criminal, and you were a cop
You were the handle, and I was the mop
How did we ever get together
We may never find out forever

When I went ahead with the relationship
I thought it wouldn’t be more than a friend-ship
But when it lasted longer than the friendship
It became my first real relationship
Even though we were not meant to be
I feel as though we made it work, didn’t we
We lived a good long life together
Keeping our secrets from each other
But we never cheated
We never got beaten
When I went ahead with this relationship
I honestly thought it wouldn’t last more than a friend-ship
But now that it’s a bit more than a friendship
It is my first proper relationship
My first proper relationship
My first, proper, relationship

Whenever I was travelling, travelling, travelling
All the people that were around me, round me, round me
Thought that I was baffling, baffling, baffling
Everyone thought that but you, but you, but you

You saw me for who I was
You treated me like a person for once
I thought you were just doing a good cause
But it turned out you loved me once

I still remember that horrible day
It was raining outside and you needed a lay
So I came over and said hey
I’ve got a pillow if you wanna hit the hay

You saw me for who I was
You treated me like a person for once
I thought you were just doing a good cause
But it turned out you loved me once

From that day on
We were inseparable, unstoppable
There was no off there, there was just one on
Not even security and customs could pop our tight bubble

You saw me for who I was
You treated me like a person for once
I thought that you were doing a good cause
But it turned out you loved me once

All over the world
London to Paris, New York to Hudson Bay
Get to the states on the independence day
Because as long as we were together, then we could travel the world

You saw me for who I was
You treated me like a person for once
I thought that you were doing a good cause
But it turned out you loved me once

Now we’re older, and got separate families
We have a lot to do instead of travel
But I will always look back at the days we travelled
And remember the small families
We will always travel together
For as long as our families stay together
If we split up at all
You should know, that I also loved you once
And that once is just-right-now

You saw me for who I was
You treated me like a person for once
I thought you were doing a good cause
But it turned out you loved me once
You loved me once, and I loved you, once
Now we have separate lives
But we will live on forever, and ever, and ever
For as long as the photographs stay good
You saw me for who I was
The athletic and kind looking travel guy
Always looking for the best to buy
You treated me like a person for once
Like someone had done only before you once
I thought you were just doing a good cause
Supporting me in putting on this gauze
But it turned out you loved me
And it turned out that-I-love-you
And it turned out that-I-love-you
And it turned out that-I-love-you

Travelling, travelling, travelling
No time to have you unravelling, ravelling, ravelling
Don’t go travelling, travelling, travelling
If you feel like unravelling

But it’s okay
Cos I’m a man that sticks to his word
An’ I promised your mom, that I would take care of you
Moscow to Tokyo, China to Nepal
Scot-land to Germany, and so much more
I will tell you the secrets to travelling
But you have to do the rest by yourself

Coming at night
And leaving in the morning
I will often have to get you up
But I only do it

Cos I’m a man of my word
I will keep that promise of protection
All the way from Moscow to Tokyo
China to Nepal
Scot-land and Germany
And whole lot more

Those early starts
When we finally got up together
You were seeing this world
For what it really was
And I wish I could remember the day I was with you last
But I couldn’t and kicks my ass

I was a man of my word
I swore I’d protect you
From Moscow to Tokyo
From China to Nepal
But all of that went to shame
When you went out and didn’t come back no more
Cos I was a man of my word
And I said I would protect you
And now look at you here
Lying in a wooden box
Six-feet-down

Your mum was telling me
To keep travelling without you
I just couldn’t get how she could be so, strong
And she said “just name your first kid after her”
And I said sure

Cos I am a man of my word
I have my to kids, Ellie and John with me here
They’ve been travelling with me by-my-side
Doubt you’d be happy with my new wife
But I think that you’d be happy with my kids
Ellie was born on the 4th of July in the states
And John was born on the 9th of August in Brazil
And this is so, so cool, continuing on, a childhood dream

Cos I was a man of my word
I swore I would protect you
But I let you down
And I let you down big time
And I know, and I know, and I know that it wasn’t my fault
But I just, but I just, but I just, but I just, feel like it is
Oh, Ellie, come back to me
Forgive me
And just come back to me
Oh, Ellie
