Lyrics

It’s all right, yeah it’s OK
You and I were on a losing streak

And my oh my you owe it
To go out in a blaze of glory

Now the tide is turning
And we can ride it to different shore

It’s not a loss, nothing’s slipping through our fingers
We just need to figure out which way to go

And we’ll work it out
We’ll work it out for sure

Alright
Alright
Alright
It’s alright

Alright
Alright
Alright
It’s alright

If you’re fuzzy
If you’re petty
If your mama thinks you’re acting crazy
Give it a little time and we’ll work things out
And I’ll see you on the other side

In a little while
I know we’ll get on fine

Alright
Alright
Alright
It’s alright

Alright
Alright
Alright
It’s alright

Andrea
When in doubt I call out to you
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

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

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

We started our endeavor
About four years ago now
An innocence once white
Now covered in dirt
With stains upon stains, can’t remember the first

But we stick to what we know
And we cling to the hope
That with enough dirt we can make something grow

A noble fight
A gilded lie
And I don’t know why

Love is still present
Even if the word itself is never spoken
But oh, omnipotent
Beautiful and strong
Is our bond and it can’t be broken
It cannot be broken

Can’t turn it off
Can’t turn it down
But it’s so loud

The beat of the heart in the dead of the night in my bed
And I take it that you know
The power that you hold
But every time I reach out it disrupts the flow
Of blatant lies, of alibis
Yeah when it’s just you and I

Love is still present
Even if the word itself is never spoken
And oh, omnipotent
Beautiful and strong
Is our bond and it can’t be broken
It cannot be broken

Battered and bent
Discontent with good intentions
Being both friends and enemies
Somewhere between
Emptiness and fulfillment
Nothing and everything
Still nobody else has what we have
An understanding, a sacred silent pact
A dedication, a mutual promise that

Love is still present
Even if the word itself is never spoken
And oh, omnipotent
Beautiful and strong
Is our bond and it can’t be broken
Cannot be broken
Cannot be broken
Cannot be broken

Yes, magnificent
Through this life and beyond
Is our bond and it can’t be broken
It won’t be broken
It can’t be broken
It will not be broken

She had a question in her kisses
Like a song on her mind that her mouth wouldn’t sing
I could have heard it if I’d listened
But I was too perplexed by actually feeling something

So we just got the party started
Turned up the volume and got lost in the groove
I dimmed the lights and never saw that
The song on her mind was transforming into
Goodbyes and fuck-yous

We just let things be
We just let things be
And all the passion in my eyes
Reflected in her eyes
Tricking me, making me believe it was
Meant to be

Seemed there was dazzle never ending
And I picture it now like a Hollywood script
Where we started of at the happy ending
As the two lovers inspired by that fabulous kiss

And although I know
That it was only my imagination
I still cherish the feelings, the lies I
believed in. I don’t want to know but I do
That all that is left are goodbyes and fuck-yous

We just let things be
We just let things be
And all the passion in my eyes
Reflected in her eyes
Tricking me, making me believe it was
Meant to be

The inadequacies
Our lies and jealousy
Our fading, dying dreams
We just danced and let them be

And all the passion in my eyes
Reflected in her eyes
Tricking me, making me
Taunting me
Fooling me
Making me believe that it was
Meant to be

Nu är det länge sen
Way back i 90-nånting men
Jag minns det som det var igår
Hur vi reste oss mot världen
Delade sorg och glädje
Det var stort fast vi var små

Det var jag och du som hittade vägen ut
Från mörka sammanhang
Jag fann en bror med samma namn
Och här är vi nu

Du och jag
Vi dansade genom nätterna
Försökte fånga varje dag
Ett udda par
Visst är allting annorlunda nu men vänskapen finns kvar

Jag flyttade till en annan stad
Det blev inte längre samma sak
Nu hörs vi bara då och då
Men när vi väl är tillsammans
Är vi snart tillbaks precis på samma plats där vi var då

Du och jag
Vi dansade genom nätterna
Försökte fånga varje dag
Ett udda par
Visst är allting annorlunda nu men vänskapen finns kvar
Än idag
Som stjärnljus över ängarna, som vind över ett hav
Och en dag tar allting slut men inte du och jag

Du och jag
Vi dansade genom nätterna
Försökte fånga varje dag
Ett udda par
Visst är allting annorlunda nu men vänskapen finns kvar
Än idag
Som stjärnljus över ängarna, som vind över ett hav
En dag tar allting slut men inte du och jag

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

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
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

Medan du sov kysste jag din kind
Du sa nånting och vände dig om
Där, när du sov, smekte jag din kind
Och svor att ingenting
Skulle få komma före

Kommer du ihåg hur vi älskade,
Förlorade i hesa andetag?
Idag är allt det förbi
Och jag tänker att det nog bara varit erotik

Du är ett ögonblick av gången tid
Så varför gick vi aldrig vidare
Som vi skulle

Vissa dagar känns det mer
Men jag tror du vet
Jag tror du vet

Vi sade att nu är det vår tur
Vi hittade rätt till slut
Vi fann till slut varann

Tror du inte att jag minns
Hur jag älskade att vara din?
Hur vi var allt som fanns?

Vi var – vi var förlorade
I hesa andetag
Och hjärtslag tätt intill

Idag är
Allt det förbi oss
Och nu är det länge sen, men tiden står still

Du är ett ögonblick av gången tid
Så varför gick vi aldrig vidare
Som vi skulle

Vissa dagar känns det mer
Men jag tror du vet
Jag tror du vet

Du är ett ögonblick av gången tid
Så varför gick vi aldrig vidare
Som vi skulle

Vissa dagar känns det mer
Vissa dagar känns det mer
Vissa dagar känns det mer

Men jag tror du vet
Jag tror du vet

Ljus över land och hav
En strålande kärlek utan krav
Känn mjuka vindarna
Hör alla sångerna
Idag
Hör hjärtats slag för ett barn

Och dagen gryr ny som av magi
Välkommen nya människa full av liv
Och vi ska känna dig
Vi ska leda dig, du har
Vår kärlek helt utan krav

Och om du någon gång tappar fästet
Om du någon gång kommer snett
Om du någonsin börjar falla
Ska vi alla
Hjälpa dig rätt

Två sköra axlar hålls med mod
En trygghet vävd med band av blod
Och vi står alla här
Vi finns alltid här
För dig
Och vi ska sjunga denna sång för dig

Och om du någon gång tappar fästet
Om du någonsin hamnar snett
Om du någonsin börjar falla
Ska vi alla
Hjälpa dig rätt

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

Never mind
Do what you like
Let’s not worry about it
Tell me that you’ll wait
Tell it to my face
I still don’t expect it to be
Anything but make believe
But say it like you mean it
Then when we’ve hashed it out
And we’re making out
In my mind I’ll make it go away

Ooooh – you know I’ll
Ooooh – Oh yes I’ll
Put it in a locker
Put it in a locker
And throw away the key

You mesmerize
And I realize that’s just the way you are, but hey!
None of those pretty words
Will be enough to hurt
I’ve got a better way

Ooooh – you know I’ll
Ooooh – Oh yes I’ll
Put it in a locker
Put it in a locker
And throw away the key

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

I let myself talk about it
I say the words out loud

But that’s it
Even if I wanted to
No words can express the truth

Cause there is so much more
There are memories
And thoughts
And smells
And times of blissful nudity
Of holding tight
Of wrongs and rights
Of overwhelming love
And fights

And so I tell them what they want to hear
Over and over again
But where all words fail
Feelings prevail
An ineffable lovers’ tale
Of honesty
Dishonesty
Breakfast in bed
And things unsaid
You know I try to grasp it
I really do
But I am just a lonely fool

We were two planets colliding
Could not escape it
Didn’t realize
And it’s odd but obviously something
Survived

And I let myself sing about it
I write my little songs about it
And I play the music
Loud and clear
To tell them what they want to hear

But I know it doesn’t really matter what I say
Or how I act
Or what I sing
When at the bottom of things
I’m just not the same as I used to be
And I’m finding it hard
To believe

We were two planets colliding
Could not escape it
Didn’t realize
And it’s odd but obviously something
Survived

Hate is not enough to follow
Love is far to close to sorrow
Faith seems beaten by the real thing
And dreams
Seem not to mean a single thing

We were two planets colliding
Could not escape it
Didn’t realize
And it’s odd but obviously something
Yes it’s strange but obviously something
Survived

She never waives her armor
She never drops her shield
She says love is not the answer
It’s a petty little thing and not for me

But there’s a fire burning
A devil in her eyes
It’s like all those years of wants and yearning
Are trying to break loose tonight

And I’m not wasting any time

‘Cause tonight
We’ll set the world alight
I’ll hold her close and not let go
I swear I’ll make it right
Tonight

Then when she does surrender
It’s with a sense of pride
And I stoke – I stoke this ember
‘Til it’s a fire burning bright

And I take my time

‘Cause tonight
We’ll set the world alight
I’ll hold her close and not let go
I swear I’ll make it right
Tonight

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

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

Right outside my window in the prime of July
There’s somebody shouting and I hear children laugh and cry
I put on my sandals, grab a pack of beer and tell myself that I look handsome
And baby you know it ain’t a lie

Then with a gentle summer wind in my hair
I get off my bike, drop it to the ground and let it lie there
With not a care in this world, yeah you know
that’s my trademark
My life is just a walk in the park

And when I’m sitting, walking, hanging, eating, breathing, doing anything
I want the world to sing for me
And there is not a thing that I have done or haven’t done that I regret
Will never – I won’t let things get to me
No I stay positive and care free

I high-five my mates, pop open a brew and take a seat
Head shaking grown-ups pass by but the marvelous summer heat
Is all that matters and it flatters me that people take notice
Then it’s all about me, it’s all about me

‘Cause when I’m sitting, walking, hanging, eating, breathing, doing anything
I want the world to sing for me
So what if there are things that I have done or haven’t done that I regret
Whatever, it’s better not to let things get to me
To just stay positive and care free

Oh I know that some say that I’m wrong
That I’ve been wasting time and life for too long

And maybe sometimes on occasion having breakfast with the TV
There’s a chance that I’d agree

But when I’m sitting, walking, hanging, eating, breathing, doing anything
I want the world to sing for me
And all the many things that I have done or haven’t done that I regret
Oh brother, it’s hard not to let them get to me
It’s a fragile philosophy

Yeah when I’m sitting, walking, hanging, eating, breathing, doing anything
I hope the world to sing for me
And there’s a thousand things I’ve have done or haven’t done that I regret
That never, never will get the best of me
No I stay positive and care free
