Young Heart (album 2019)
Young Heart
The hardest nights
Are those that I can´t get no sleep
I lie awake thinking of
The demons that I can´t defeat
My hands are numb
My feet are tired
There is not much left that I desire
I have a young heart
And young hearts they burn easily
And some days
I get the feeling that I can´t breathe
But I hold it in, I pretend
and I do what needs to be done
Ref.
What is driving me insane?
I can´t put my finger on it
Is this young heart of mine
Burning and yearning for something?
Ref.
Biggest Love
It’s been so many years
And I think that I have changed
I let that fire for you burn out In all my rage
I tried so hard to make you stay
I guess I learn from my mistakes
When it breaks it breaks
When it ends it ends
There is no use tryin’
Stitching us back again
Even though you are my biggest love
Even if I sing about you in every one of my songs
It does not mean you ́re the one
I would be lying if I said
You haven’t been on my mind
But, honey, some emotions they
Pass away with time
So I kept my distance
While I realised
There ́s no use tryin’
Stiching us back again
Ref.
Maybe you were right when you said
We would only make each other blue
I thought for a while that was better
Than losing you
But I know now
It was right
To let the flame burn out
Ref.
Right From The Start
The streets are filling up with snow
Last year at this time I didn´t feel alone
I have my friends and we do hit the town
But I keep looking to see if you´re around
You probably think that I am crazy
Call you up at night all hazy
Even after you left me
We were a shot in the dark, honey
I got a deceiving heart, honey
I knew right from the start
Right from the start, oh
Looking for you in the flickering lights
Hoping to find someone who will hold me tight
Stumble home when the sun hits the sky
Yeah, I’ve been dancing you off right from the start
Ref.
Damn my deceiving heart
Want to forget but I can´t
Been calling you up
Been shaking it off
I knew from the start
Ref.
November
Winter is getting closer
With all the light that goes away
But if it goes away in your mind
You are not well
November was the month of death
We hoped you could handle it
You said you saw her go up to the sky
With the music
Please don´t
Give up and give in
And you were like other kids
You would play around in the garden for kicks
But when the others grew up and found their way
You lost yours
And November was the month of death
We hoped you could handle it
We saw you go up to the sky
With the music
Give up and give in
Your mother could not sleep at night
She kept thinking she did something wrong
She would lie awake thinking to herself
Please don´t
Give up and give in
November was the month of death
(In memory of Lasse and Lene)
Seasons Change
Seasons change, I know so well, they do
I was younger, felt proud
Would walk right through any open door
I did stop, to think, and I got lost
Seasons Change
Was I blind to see what I had become
Days were slow, no highs no lows, I fell
Seasons Change
Restless and relentless
I was brought up to be kind
To not let anyone down
But nowadays feel I do that
All the time
I am aware of the pain
I am putting myself through
By thinking I am not good enough
Restless
Relentless to myself
I tend to find it hard
To carry the weight of me
Other days I am bright
And I feel free
And some days I wake up colder
Than ever before
And I can’t seem to shake this longing
Of off me
But I will
Ref.
Darkness Descends
I can not forget you even if i try
I can not fight the feeling god knows I’ve tried
Loving you was such a strive
Left me blue for a while
And I long for your touch every once in a while
Darkness descends when you cross my mind
It’s been a long time, still
Darkness descends when you cross my mind
Do you feel lonely and is that OK?
Do you still never know what to say
Do you still write your poetry
about the women you could not keep?
Your indecision left me astray
You played some foolish games
We were young and that’s to blame
Ref
Everything Unsaid
Left the city in may
With so much more to say
But there was really no reason to stay
You only needed me when she was away
Some days my thoughts turn dark
I want to go back to the start
To figure out and pick apart where we went wrong
I know it would be better if I just moved on
But everything is unsaid
And there is no point in saying anything else
Wrote you a hundred letters
Which I never sent
I guess my words can´t make you change
And all I write to you just feels so strange
Maybe I do feel sadness
Heavier than I should
To keep on looking back won’t do me no good
I believe I did the best that I could
Ref.
The radio is playing that same old song
And I’m alone trying to get along
I don’t know
If you know
How it feels to be alone
My Man
When did we last speak
Are we at ease?
Or do you still wake up next to her
thinking of me?
And I couldn’t love for many summers
Hell, I could hardly breathe
Somehow you’re still haunting me
But I’ve found the one that I need
I love my man
Although I think of you
I hold him dear
Although I think of you
Were you tired, lover
Did you lust for something new?
I was tired too, babe
I was the right kind of blue
And I couldn’t love for many summers
Hell, I could hardly breathe
Somehow you’re still haunting me
But I’ve found the one that I need
I love my man
Although I think of you
I promise, I promise you
If I Could Write That Song
I found it hard to let you go
Only a fool like me would let it show
Spent so many days not knowing what to do
Sleepless nights in rage over you
If I could write that song
Which would make me let you go
I would
I kept quiet for so long
Should have held my head up and moved on
Days moved by so slow
Feelings were hard to control
Ref.
Forgive me if I try
I´ve been the one to hide
Forgive me if I try
It´s been one long ride
