Music

Jag vandrar vägen längs med Fyrisån
Och möter dagen med fjärilar i magen
Tonerna på tungan ebbar ut i andetag
Som sprids för vinden
Ut över staden

Där vid dörren till din port
Mitt hjärta slog så fort
Jag hoppades så innerligt igen

Du tog min hand i din
Jag följde med dig in i natten

Nu plötsligt skiner solen
Jag går med lätta steg
Svävar över marken
Kommer inte ner
Och även fastän världen visst försöker sänka mig
Nu har jag dig

Och jag behöver inget mer

Står bakom slottet där vid slänten och ser ut över taken
Tänker på staden
Tusentals av människor som går förbi varandra gång på gång
Mellan Ackis och Centralen

Och det kunde varit vi som gått varann förbi
Utan att ens lyfta ögonen
Men du tog min hand i din och jag följde med dig in
Och du sade “Välkommen hit, välkommen hem”

Nu plötsligt skiner solen
Jag går med lätta steg
Svävar över marken
Kommer inte ner
Och även fastän världen visst försöker sänka mig
Nu har jag dig

Och jag behöver inget mer
Jag behöver inget mer

Nu plötsligt skiner solen
Jag går med lätta steg
Jag svävar över marken
Kommer inte ner
Och även fastän världen visst försöker
Försöker
Ja även fastän världen visst försöker sänka mig
Nu har jag dig och jag behöver inget mer

Jag behöver inget mer
(Det är här jag vill vara)
Jag behöver inget mer
(Här i Uppsala)
Nej jag behöver inget mer

Andrea
When in doubt I call out to ya
And every time I lose my mind
You talk me down till it’s alright
You put my feet on solid ground
Andrea

I know it hurts, we need to draw the line
I’m not blind
But it’s hard to cross that bridge and stay alive
Ain’t that right

Confidence
It tastes so sweet but leaves you longing
And if everything we’ve said or done
Must crumble – what will we become?
I need to put my faith in someone
Andrea

I know it hurts, we need to draw the line
I’m not blind
But it’s hard to cross that bridge and stay alive
Ain’t that right

I know it hurts and we’re running out of time
To leave this all behind
But I’m right here, don’t you know
You don’t have to make it on your own
You’re not alone
Not alone
You’re not alone

It’s been a while, about a year
Since the last time you were here
And the memories of your face
Have started now to fade
But I fear
They’ll never go away

Time will heal, you told me so
But I can’t seem to let you go
A broken heart is all that’s left of you
And now it’s beating out of context
Fading as a concept
I am
Still holding on to you

I got a new apartment
With stacks of vintage records and guitars on every wall
And I built this precious wonderland
Making up for something and
I know – that’s just typical

Time would heal, you told me so
But I can’t seem to let you go
A broken heart is all that’s left of you
And now it’s beating out of context
Fading as a concept
I am
Still holding on to you

Time will heal, you told me so
But I can’t seem to let you go
A broken heart is all that’s left of you
And now it’s beating out of context
Fading as a concept
I am
Still holding on to you

My heart is beating out of context
Fading as a concept
I am still
Desperately
Holding on to you

Some days are just like that you know
When everything falls into place
Downtime no matter where you go
Sunlight hot on your face

So let your hair down, try to ditch the blues now
And take a ride with me alright
Ah yeah, come on now let’s get rolling
There’s fire in my soul tonight

And I’ve got to let you know

Baby, here I am, now
Baby, yes I am
No need to wait around for something better
I’ve got a hot soul tonight

So cool every head is turning
Turning around to watch you leave
So beautiful my eyes are hurting/burning
Come on now baby take ride with me

And I gotta let you know

Baby, here I am
Baby, yes I am
No need to wait around for something better, I’ve got a hot soul now

Baby, here I am
Baby, yes I am
No need to wait for something babe
I’ve got a blazing hot steaming soul tonight

Baby, here I am
Baby, yes I am
No need to wait around for something better, I’ve got a hot soul now

Baby, here I am
Baby, yes I am
No need to wait around for something better, I’ve got a hot soul now

Baby, here I am
Baby, yes I am
No need to wait around for something better, I’ve got a hot soul tonight

Lay your head on my shoulder
And place the weight of wants on me

Remember when words were not enough
When we couldn’t get enough
And our embrace would last for days?

Now hesitantly
These porcelain moments
When you confide in me like before
Inevitably
Something’s shattered and broken
But in the eye of the storm
We rest peacefully

Then back again
Back to hurt and letting go
Back to whipping up that perfect storm

And all the blame
Is ours again

Now hesitantly
These porcelain moments
When you confide in me like before
Now evidently
Something’s shattered and broken
But in the eye of the storm
We rest peacefully

Let out the anger
Give up the fight
It takes forever and ever
To force something into feeling alright

So what you got parted
You know it’s really not that bad
It was doomed to fail before it even started
So hey, why the hell are you looking so sad

You should burn all the letters
Spit on the photographs and sing
Be assured it will feel much better
Once you think of her as nothing

Oh I can hear what everybody is telling me
But it’s just not that easy for me
No it’s just not that easy for me

You can set your mind to it and try for so long
To be rational and to do what people say
But there is just no simple way out of love
And mind over body is not the way

I tried hard to get with it
To follow their advice
But I found it hard to live it
In the lingering light of her enchanting eyes

Oh I can hear what everybody is telling me
But it’s just not that easy for me
You can set your mind to it and try for so long
To be rational and to do what people say
But there is just no simple way out of love
And mind over body is not the way

And there’s no point to rationality
You can’t work your mind around it
Can’t wrap your mind around your heart
And it’s hard
When you feel the consequences of love
And you’re feeling torn apart

Have an empty, bleeding, useless heart
Trying to get somewhere but it gets stuck
And I had your love but now it’s lost

Weeded out
Turned to dust

Well here’s a moment when I can say
I feel like I’m alive today
It stings but it’s supposed to be this way
Everything
Resonates

We’re like water
Free to flow but always part of something
Like waves breaking the sea
And it hurts when you break something

Even when you want it so
Soon enough it’s out the door
Around and round and round it goes
It’s all we are
It’s all we know

We’re like water
Free to flow but always part of something
Like waves breaking the sea
And it hurts when you break something

We seek but never find
What is right before our eyes
Can’t make it stop
Won’t even bother
We drift apart
From each other

We’re like water
Free to flow but always part of something
Like waves breaking the sea
And it hurts when you break something

It is an amazing time we live in
Where we can move from pollution to harnessing the sun
And we have all means to build and prosper
And take good care of each other

Yes we are good to go
If it was not for those
Who still want us to suffer

Men of power and greed
They’re dangerous
Preaching misogyny
Too dangerous
We can’t let them be
We can’t let them be, oh no

We tell them to run, run, run
(we tell them to) Run, run, run
(we tell them to) Run, run, run
Back to Babylon

They disrespect a woman and mock her worth
They have no respect even for blessed mother earth

So let us rise up and not take cover
Let us unite sister and brother
For we are good to go
And we must let them know
They needn’t even bother

Bigot and bully have fear
Despot can’t silence us
Wicked man your time is near
Don’t mess with us
Now shout out, let them hear
We don’t want you near

So tell them to run, run, run
(So tell them to) Run, run, run
(Yes tell them to) Run, run, run
Back to Babylon

So sure that the world is yours
That no greater man’s walked this earth before
But ego a plenty’s no use for the many
No we need a different world
With prosperity and peace for the days to come
And where shelter and food is for everyone
You see we all have a part in a greater plan
Can’t be held back by the greedy and arrogant
Don’t bow your head before them
Raise your voice and tell them (listen!)
Pick up your things and run
We’ll send you back to Babylon

Go tell him to
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Tell them the fight has begun
Now rise up as one
Make your voice heard no matter where you’re from
Won’t let no alternative facts dissuade us
Won’t have no grab them by the pussy dictators
They’d better run back to Babylon

From head to toe
Hanging low
Withered bones
Turn to stone
Crystalized intentions and control

Purpose binds
Somewhere
Lost in time
Nowhere to
Break the silence, seal it off
Break the cycle, make it stop
Exorcise intentions and control

Can’t escape this time
It’s breathing down my spine

Animal
Beg for more
Forever lost
Vacant soul
Denied any semblance of control

Can’t escape this time
It’s breathing down my spine
And oh, I need to shake it off – can’t take it, I won’t make it
No, to the end of the line

[Head] It’s too late
[Heart] You know this
[Hope] Is an endless fight
[Head] Too terri..
[Heart] …ble to
Wrap your mind around

Can’t escape this time
It’s breathing down my spine
And oh, I need to shake it off – can’t take it, I won’t make it
No, to the end of the line

We were lovers, you and I
Full of fire and hunger
And a thousand reasons why it was all we ever wanted
But now that river has run dry

Because thousand reasons were
Not enough to
Overcome my fear
Of starting to
Fall head over heals
In love with you

Now I just want to say
That I’m a better man today

Time and again
When we talk I pretend
I don’t mean to hurt you
But how can we be more than friends
When I’m too scared to be
Too arrogant and lazy
We can try too make amends
Try to change

Yes we were lovers, you and I
But tired and wondering if it’s enough to just get by
I couldn’t tell you what I wanted
But I couldn’t live that lie

It all became too much, wasn’t needing it
Longing for a crush, just a little bit
I know that you must’ve been feeling it too?
Now that we’re just friends
I can live again

Time and again
When we talk I pretend
I don’t mean to hurt you
But how can we be more than friends
When I’m too scared to be
Too arrogant and lazy
We can try too make amends
Try to change

To go from dreary to serenity
Try to change
To build relations on sincerity
Try to change
We need to change, to find a better way
Try to change
And make the most of every day

Time and again
When we talk I pretend
I don’t mean to hurt you
But how can we be more than friends
When I’m too scared to be
Too arrogant and lazy
We can try too make amends
Try to change
