There you go, my heart is inside out
Everything that I am when there’s no one around
Took the load off my mind and put it right in to your hands
Always hoping to find that you will understand, but
I gotta go and toughen up
Doing my best is not enough
No reply since a week or two
You gotta do what you gotta do
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
What do I say if you won’t take a chance on me
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
It’ll get better very soon
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
What do I say if you won’t take the time for me
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
It’ll get better, it’ll get better, it’ll get better
It’ll get better, oh better I will get better
I gotta go and toughen up
Doing my best is not enough
No reply since a week or two
You gotta do what you gotta do
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
What do I say if you won’t take a chance on me
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
It’ll get better very soon
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
What do I say if you won’t take the time for me
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
It’ll get better, it’ll get better, it’ll get better
I am an ocean
I’m not a soldier
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
What do I say if you won’t take the time for me
What do I do if you won’t hear me out (hear me out now)
It’ll get better, it’ll get better, it’ll get better
It’ll get better, oh better I will get better
hmm
It’ll get better, oh better
I will get better

i’ve been counting my footprints
i see the right, see the left right in front of the next
they kind of look like babysteps (look like babysteps)
the horizon before me
there’s still a vast empy space between the sun and I
been looking for a bridge across the sky
admitting i don’t wanna stay small
is like throwing my heart on a trampoline
why is it the things i’m running to that are turning out to frighten me
i’m getting close to the ceiling
never been so far off the ground
i’m kinda scared of succeeding
but i’m close to the ceiling
and i won’t look down
i’ve been counting my footprints
they’re going up, up the stairs until they reach my feet
but i’m still feeling incomplete (feeling incomplete)
admitting i don’t wanna stay small
is like throwing red paint at a movie screen
why is it the things i’m running to that are turning out to frighten me
i’m getting close to the ceiling
never been so far off the ground
i’m kinda scared of succeeding
but i’m close to the ceiling
i’m getting close to the ceiling (i’m getting close)
never been so far off the ground
i’m kinda scared of succeeding (i’m kind of scared)
but i’m close to the ceiling
and i won’t look
and i won’t look
and i won’t look down

Show Me

It’s been a couple of months
thick air in my lungs
and clarity is gone
what you see is what you get
yet no faint silhouette
of a place where I belong
I hear it calling but I can’t find it
I hear it calling but it slowly disappears
while I keep thinking please come back to me
and show me what I don’t see
tell me what I can or can’t control
hey, show me what I don’t see
been feeling such a long long way from home
hey, show me what I don’t see
tell me what I can or can’t control
hey, show me what I don’t see
been feeling such a long long way from home
struggle to get out of bed
avoiding talking to friends
‘cause I know they’ll try to cheer me up
but it’s a matter of time
it’s not a matter of trying
so I check the clock and buckle up
I buckle up for what’s coming up, and I still
I hear it calling but I can’t find it
I hear it calling but it slowly disappears
while I keep thinking please come back to me
and show me what I don’t see
tell me what I can or can’t control
hey, show me what I don’t see
been feeling such a long long way from home
hey, show me what I don’t see
tell me what I can or can’t control
hey, show me what I don’t see
been feeling such a long long way from home
aah,aah,aah
oh oh, been feeling so far away from home
oh oh, been feeling so far
oh oh, been feeling so far away from home
oh oh, it’s breaking my heart
oh oh, been feeling so far away from home
oh oh, been feeling so far

Moon

it took me a while to figure out
but lately I’ve clearly seen it unfold
my mood it swings like a tree in a hurricane
gets me daydreaming of better days
‘cause when the sun starts going down my solar energy is running out
and than the moon shines over me
a lonely mood
I’m restless and I can’t shake the thought of my fears
looming in the blue oh, the moon
it took me a while to understand
‘cause it’s subtle and often in disguise
but around dinnertime the worry awaits
to sing me a heavy lullaby
a thousand stars fill up the sky
can’t see the beauty now, I wonder why
and than the moon shines over me
a lonely fool
I’m restless and I can’t shake the thought of my fears looming in the blue oh, the moon

you’ve been my baby for a long time now
never knew love like this before
sometimes it scares me when I think about
how deeply my heart is ingrained in yours
(the surprise was bittersweet)
somehow this broken heart it felt like three
(the surprise was bittersweet)
but in the storm of that moment one thing was crystal clear, yeah
nobody loves you like I do
nobody loves you like I do
baby you are the roof above my head
I saw you crumble into sand
the feeling of you slipping through my hands
made me hold you closer and closer, closer and closer again
(the surprise was bittersweet)
‘cause sometimes what you want ain’t what you need
(the surprise was bittersweet)
but in the storm of that moment one thing was crystal clear, yeah
nobody loves you like I do
nobody loves you like I do
nobody loves you like I do
nobody loves you like I do
(the surprise was bittersweet)
I do, I do
(the surprise was bittersweet)
I do
ooh ooh ooh
I do, I do
ooh ooh ooh
I do

For You

I’m not gonna lie
thought that I
wasn’t built for this
distant dreams knocked on my door
I tried to ignore,
but they beat the cold
I’m glad they didn’t leave,
‘cause it took some time to see
that for you I’d risk it all
oh for you I’d take the fall
you don’t even worry how to pay the bills
don’t care about the numbers, you care how it feels
oh for you I’d risk it all
I discovered myself
turns out I’m fancy as hell
that is why
mon message to self sabotage
c’est bon voyage
et au revoir
‘cause for you I’d risk it all
oh for you I’d take the fall
you don’t even worry how to pay the bills
don’t care about the numbers, you care how it feels
oh for you I’d risk it all
you don’t even worry how to pay the bills
don’t care about the numbers, you care how it feels
oh for you I’d risk it all
