01 – UPRISE

You have the sky, the sun the sea
An image of how life should be
We eat, we pray, make love, we hunt
We build up to the waterfront
I can’t recall ever feeling so in love and so alive
The cradle full of promises to find
Part of me laying waste to evil thoughts born in my mind
Knowing that the wheel keeps on winding
Here you are, growing strong
A blinding light reminds us of how long
we’ve been wrong, look around
the signs sparkling in the sun
Light up the riverfront
Light up the sky
Light up the mountaintops
Daylight shifting time

The noise, the voice this peaceful sleep
Mountains high, a giant leap
A whisper in the morning breeze
took me in, swept me off my feet
And I can recall falling over aged in hideaways
capturing the moments at stake
And covered with concrete and railroad tracks
and nowadays there’s always a life worth saving
Care for love. Open up
Release and learn to grow
full of life, full of hope
Tied to both ends of the rope
Light up the riverfront
Light up the sky
Light up the mountaintops
Daylight shifting time
Light up the riverfront
Light up the sky
Light up the mountaintops
Daylight shifting time

Hey yoo, hey yoo,
Hey yoo, hey yoo…

Light up the riverfront
Light up the sky
Light up the mountaintops
Daylight shifting time

Hey yoo, hey yoo…

02 – SOMETHING SO REAL

The strength of your embrace
makes it so hard to let go
as the snow reveals my face
I’m makin’ an overthrown
This is why I’m here
I guess this is why I’m here
See the world fade in now,
black and white blend in somehow
and I bring nothing except the state I’m in
I feel something so real

You got me longing for this place,
where you will shelter me I know
I disappear without a trace,
come see me shut down slowly
I come to understand
how insignificant I am
See the world fade in now,
black and white blend in somehow
and I bring nothing except the state I’m in,
I feel something so real

I’m coming face to face
with a past long gone
and reborn in this place
to choose a name, make it count
A peaceful life so pure fulfilling all my needs
as I look back on open leafs
The journey echoes on
It echoes on and on and on

See the world fade in now,
black and white blend in somehow
a peaceful life before my eyes,
no regrets, no questions why
and I bring nothing except the state I’m in
I carry nothing except this bag of sins
A perfect place for us, a new begin
I feel something so real

03 – HOLLYWOOD ENDING

I noticed you were leaving on the morning train
I’ll bet you expect me to be there
Will it disappoint you
things don’t work out the way you think they should
What I would give to see the look on your face
when you finally realise that I’m late again
Would it slow you down,
find some time to take a look around
Well this hotel room ain’t the same without you
But I ‘m trying to make the best of it
03:45 Another lonely night
Tell me why should I cry for you

I’m running on empty
Living and hiding far too long
Everybody needs a chance to win
a Hollywood ending
Separate my right from wrong
Well you know that it’s not my thing
this Hollywood ending
Are you prepared to wait till the last second
for the one who will make it all happen
Like send from up above
No greater thing than love
Well your hero is stuck in his room again
He’s drunk and trying to be a man
6 AM another day begins
Tell me why should I try for you
I’m running on empty
Living and hiding far too long
Everybody needs a chance to win
a Hollywood ending
Separate my right from wrong
Well you know that is not my thing
this Hollywood ending

Whohoho whohoho
Whohoho whohoho

Running on empty
We’re living and hiding far too long
Everybody needs a chance to win
a Hollywood ending
Separate my right from wrong
Well you know that it’s not my thing
this Hollywood ending

we’re running on empty
We all got our broken dreams
The price of our cannot be
Well you know that is not my thing
this Hollywood ending
a Hollywood ending
with housewives and movie themes
who cares ‘bout the casualty’s
Well you know that is not my thing
this Hollywood ending

04 – TWO HANDS

Wandering leads me to a place I know
A shimmering light,
it tells me that you’re not alone
It’s no secret that my heart belongs to you
Makes it so hard to accept the things you do
If I were a stranger would you let me in,
let me walk right through
Could I be your saviour, your reason to live,
or am I your fool
Time to wake up
Won’t you come
Don’t let your troubled heartache on
Please stop
Rest your worried head
I will carry you out
with my own two hands
I will reach for the stars
with my own two hands
Build you a place in the sun
with my own two hands
Let all your bygones be gone

I’m tired of waiting for once upon a time
An ever after ended in the morning light
This enchanted left here on your own
Another one who tried to trade your gold for stones
The concretes are fading while you carve your name
in walls that crumble
If I am your saviour, your reason to live
why won’t you come home
Caus’ I want you to know
I’d carry you on my back
For you I lift up the sky
with my own two hands
My own two hands (5x)
Let me hold you close
There’s this place I know
Where we can go
Keep you save from harm
Just take my hand
Don’t leave me stand
Come take my hand

[Marijke]

05 – LIKE FOOLS

Ain’t it funny how some things in life
don’t make any sense at all
Feelings like running water
For a moment there I imagined
we were naked on the beach,
slow dancing under the moon and stars
There is nothing else to it

I can’t wait
I’m sure
I wanna dance some more
Lie here with me
We’ll fall in love as if we’re free

I’m not someone who comes on strong
but with you I kind of lose control
You’re like a river that runs through me
Wanna celebrate instead of complicate
caus’ woman, you’re so damn free
I want everyone to notice
there is nothing else to it

I can’t break
I’m sure
I wanna dance some more
Lie here with me
We’ll fall in love as if we’re free

Summer is here
We’ve made it through another year
Wanna dance with you
like fools with nothing left to lose
Ahooo oohoo… (2x)
Why hesitate?
Come on celebrate for a moment
running free
And everyone will notice
there is nothing else to it

I can’t wait
I’m sure
I wanna dance some more
Lie here with me
We’ll fall in love as if we we’re free
Summer is here
We made it through another year
Wanna dance with you
like fools with nothing left to lose
Ahooo oohoo
I wanna dance the night with you
Ahooo oohoo
Like fools with nothing left to lose
Ahooo oohoo
I wanna dance the night with you
Ahooo oohoo
Like fools with nothing left to lose

06 – FROZEN

I wake up
One April morning and I realize
Leafs come falling down
No warnings under a clear blue sky
Tried too cradle love
For all the right reasons I can’t find
Buying me some time
Monday morning 10.30 or so

I was gone
For the years to come
They wouldn’t leave me with a loaded gun
Wasted
My knees bruised from falling to the ground
Memories fading out
I feel the need to embrace your love
I say my prayers out loud
Try not to cry
Just say goodbye
One day later 02.30 or so
You were gone
for the years to come
Never knowing where I belonged
A new meaning for the word lost
A life never known
my heart was down in the frozen ground

Can I come home
cause I feel tired
I left you woundless in my wondering why
In my old room
I’m dancing with you now
I’ve lost more than just you alone
Why ohohooo 4x

You’re gone
though every song echoes a spark of what was lost
Making the best of all these scars
I guess they make us who we are
This lonely boy up in his room is now fully grown
While the years gone by
I couldn’t stop myself from asking why
Careless of those who should have valued the most
A Life never known
My heart felt safe in the frozen ground

Can I come home
cause I feel tired
I’m left here woundless in my wondering why
In my old room
I’m dancing with you now
I’ve lost more than just you alone
Why ohohooo

07 – SEA

Let’s go dancing in the rain
It’ll wash away all control
Lie down with me on the beach
We’ll get drunk and search for our souls
Let’s find out what’s in between
The lights of what used to be
Maybe it’s okay
Maybe it’s all right

Hold on to me now
Hold your breath,
there’s still time
Who knows what we’ll find
If we leave it all behind
Let’s go hunt down the ones who lie
The ones who tell you there’s no goodbye
Light up firecrackers in June
Chase the stars and bark at the moon
Let’s go right that distant way
It’s the journey that keeps us safe
It will be okay
and we’ll be all right

Hold on to me now
Hold your breath,
there’s still time
Who knows what we’ll find
if we leave it all behind

I know the water is cold
So cold it makes our bones ache
But I’m sure all that it takes
is just a leap of faith
Things we used to hold on to,
it’s time to throw them all away
New horizons will lead our way

Hold on to me now
Hold your breath,
there’s still time
Who knows what we’ll find
if we leave it all behind

Who knows what we’ll find

08 – DEAR SOUL

Time waits for no one they say
You came along I had to slow my pace
I felt your heartbeat, your soul
There’s nothing now that ever could mean more
I’ll pick you up, I’ll pull you close
There’s a love, a strength I’ve never known
This house is now a home
So sleep, I’ll kiss your eyes
A smile awaits you when you rise
Hush, don’t cry

Follow your feelings, your dreams
Take the time to question what may seem
Full of promise, full of hope
Step by step you learn to value both
Tears may come, dreams may go
You’ll go too fast, though it feels to slow
Then you’ll learn to crawl
Soon you will walk
You learn to talk
May you speak up when wrong is done
Be true to who you are
Sleep, I’ll kiss your eyes
Love awaits you when you rise
You’ll be safe tonight
Hush now, don’t you cry

Learn to trust
Search to find
Feel the beauty, imperfections of life
Treasure what feels right,
don’t lie
Some will speed you up
Some slow you down
Something good may come from anyone
I love you, no matter what
Sleep, I’ll kiss your eyes
Love awaits you when you rise
Hush, don’t cry
