When We Took Our Time

We’re so busy these days
It’s been like this for far too long
I look at you, and you seem tired
And I feel it too
When we talk about life and what we made of it so far
Are we like Lazarus on the run?
Are we for real or are we lost?

I wish that we could take it back, to when we took our time
When we didn’t have to worry ‘bout the timely manners
Leaned back and forth from dusk ‘till dawn
We just rocked the boat – when we took our time

Jean and Suzy from when we were schooling
They were so hot that the boys needed cooling
So laid back that they didn’t make it to the train
For the mysterious and hip world where everything counts
In a city that never sleep and money is just talking loud
I meet them now and then
And I see a happy smile on their faces
Livin’ on the outside, Jean and Suzy they’re still laid back

No silver bullet or sacred tricks can make a happy life
But when I return in about a million years
Remind me to keep my feet on the ground

Extraordinary

Parking the car in the driveway a little too much past five
I had a lot of things to do, I made it – but I was running late
Just that I try to keep that burden on a leash
Don’t wanna burn up in a suit, I don’t wanna burn up in a suit
I wanna be with you and find some peace
Soon as I get out of the car, I can smell your cooking
Smell like salmon, I love it – And what you’ve got
Let’s do something extraordinary tonight
Talk about life, dreams and everything in between

We wine and dine, drink a little beer and some wine,
Just to loosen our tongues
It make the conversation flow and it make our senses sharp
I hope you’ll meet your dreams and find your peace with me
I am sure that I’ll meet mine, with you, over time
And as we clean the table and move back on to the couch we fall into singing songs from the past
And I love it, I feel grounded!
And it’s strange, cause I’m a little high too

Let’s do something extraordinary tonight
Talk about life and dreams and everything in between
Let’s do something extraordinary tonight
We open up our lids to the beyond and above

Well, the life ain’t always easy, we’ve built evidence for that over the years
But we always end up on our own two feet you and me, you and me

Chasing Bright Stars

Well, oh my love, you’re riding like a wild horse
From one thing to the other
I’m not sure if you see it
All the beautiful things in life
You know where you’re heading
And your direction is perfectly alright
But when the big city lights come passing by
And transform into a light beam
You are chasing big dreams
With the mob, paddling up the stream

Chasing a bright star – You’re gonna make it
Chasing a bright star – Make it all the way
Keep faith in what you’re made for
And you’ll make it to your NorthStar

Don’t you worry, you surely will stumble and fall
You’ll be hurt, but pull yourself up from the dirt
You can enjoy the ride, and take it all in
And change direction as needed
And be aware of all them bad places you’ve been

Day In, Day Out

Hello, my friend, you’re challenged againCaught in rules of a system
You didn’t meet deadlines on deeds
You get fined, they collect what they need

You push yourself to make ends meet
Working your fingers to the bone all alone
Painting over the writings on the wall
Moved to the edge of an endless fall

Day In Day Out
Maxing out to survive
Breath In Breath Out
Freewheeling on safe ground

Keep faith in why we are here
Make a meaning of it all
Keep on keeping on keeping it all up
Collect that rhino and pass it on

I’m Your Man

I hope you understand by now
Where I’m heading, and what’s my deal
I’ll make this place in time so safe and real
Cause you and me…. You and me

I know that distractions have and may come
Deeds are pulling me away
But for you, woman, I have so much respect and love
And it will stay….. Forever stay

Through thick and thin
I’ll do all I can
My passions run free
And I’ll redeem – I’ll redeem my love and make things right
And let there be no doubt
I’m your man

I too get worried that I will lose my way
But with your love, baby,
I focus in – I focus in each and every day
Just to make it stay

I’m driven by fire
To make sure that our love never tires
I know that you feel it too
I’m in love with you!

I’m Your man
Don’t you understand, I wanna stay as your man
Watch me now, Feel me now, Get a little closer now
And forgive me, babe, for getting lost sometimes
And let there be no doubt: I’m your man

Stay In Line

Cramming gear together, the trunk is all full
Movin’ to the next town, new gig, new chicks
We’re gonna tear it all down
At least we think…..
We stick to the direction, get stocked in cross sections
Striving for perfection. Will it last!? Will it last!?
Movin’ to the next Town, new gig, new chicks

Do we really have to jump so high
We’re gonna do it and we party all night
We stay alive with our heads up high when we
…… Stay in Line

Rolling into town
And nothings really changed since last time we entered
And people came from miles around
Building and stores, pizza, burger joints and a whole lot more
But when the night comes the show goes on
And there’ll be hundreds of people or more
And they’ll be dancing, they’d be singin’
They’ll be humming all around, when we come to town

Well, Johnny was good and came a knockin’ on the wall
But he drank too much and he begged for a fall – again
But the crowd enjoyed all we gave ‘em
…. We’ll be happy to come back again with same recipe
On the count of four we’ll tear down the walls
One-Two…. One-Two-Three-Four

Let’s Meet Let’s Talk

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout you lately
What you’ve been doing and how you’ve been
We spend some good time together
You and I, back then
We often met in the park
Went for a walk and talked

Talked about anything that came to our minds
Some thoughts were yours, some of them mine
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout you lately
What you’ve been through and where you are now

We dealt with the bigger picture
We made big plans
The ambition was to make a significant change to the world
And maybe you are almost there – I feel far from that

Let’s meet, let’s talk again
Let’s meet, let’s talk – Let’s talk again

Well, I’ve kind of lost our shared faith in us stopping all the wars of the world
How about You?
And I just read that they found a new cure for the diseases of almost unbearable sadness many of us suffer from
But it might be just another fake one…… Too

I ‘ve been thinkin’ ’bout you lately
If you’re all alone or you belong to someone
And if someone belong to you. And if you’re happy
With what you’ve done until now

What’d You Say

One more time you do your best
To get a message through to me
Crazy busy days gone by
Worse thing I’ve ever seen
Time just flies by
For you, and for me
We are drifting apart just enough to make it dangerously

What’d you say, if we could get away
What’d you say, for a few days
What’d you say, get close again, like in the good old days

You have found a little cottage
At the seaside
Only for the two of us
You and I
I would really like to go
To give and recall
And to get into that groove again

We Are The Youth

You only see and hear us after dusk
Cause we’re invisible after dawn
We’re the midnight creepers and all day sleepers
And you don’t know what we know cause we grow
Into anything we want

Rude and despicable
We won’t listen – Get out of our way
We’re unbeatable and unstoppable
We make our own truth
We are the youth

We meet and we party all night
We fight to live and we make all things right
We survive against all the odds
And we run when the going gets too tough

And we’ve figured out
What the good life looks like
And it doesn’t include any guidance from you
We’ve seen your weaknesses and falls
We’ll do it differently
And not like you, not like you at all
