In the middle

(Mat Kearney)

I meant it all and every part
And every word right from the start
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
'Cause you know you broke the hardest part
You know you broke the hardest heart
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
Through it all

Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces
Swimming bold against a stream that's mocking as it races
In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky
Crack a smile just to hide the race that's inside
Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for the rail
One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail
One in a million, still I keep feeling you keep me from a fall
A world to lose coming back with you tall
Through it all

[chorus]
No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot in the water to face these fears
Coming out strong like I can't be wrong
I said eh, I won't fall in the middle

Twenty five here I am with freshman LPs
One life to write one, two years to repeat
Behind a curtain, uncertain if an encore's in store
Tuck my shoulder like a soldier to knock down the door
Thirty something here I am running with kisses for one girl
These scars upon my sleeve still casting out my pearls
Throw each stone microphone like it's my last turn
With a kiss to the abyss and watch the ripples return
Through it all

[chorus]

And I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright
With you by my side
And I said I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright
With you through this fight
Through it all

[chorus]

I meant it all and every part
And every word right from the start
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
Through it all

(My brightest diamond)
I once saw a dragonfly
Caught in a spider's web
As I looked at her once more
I thought that she was dead

So I left her alone and I went on my way
And I was dreaming of Paris and Pierre Boulez
But she called to me with a beat of her wing
She called to me and said free me

She said come and fly away
With me tonight
Come and fly away
With me
Come and fly away
With me tonight
She said ah ah ah…

I've been up there before
Riding the wind and
Laughing and open
But now I am afraid of flying
I am afraid of finding the black again
I am afraid of flying
I am afraid of finding the black fade, black again

She said come and fly away
With me tonight
Come and fly away
With me
Come and fly away
With me tonight
She said ah ah ah…

Op een dag - Voltaire

Op een dag

Op een dag leer je het subtiele verschil kennen,
tussen een hand vasthouden en een ziel ketenen.

Dan leer je dat liefde niet betekent : leunen
en dat gezelschap niet betekent : veiligheid.

Je ontdekt dat een kus geen contract is,
en een cadeau geen belofte.

Je begint je nederlagen te accepteren met je hoofd omhoog,
en je ogen open.

Je leert te vertrouwen op vandaag om mee te werken
omdat morgen te onzeker is voor plannen.

En na een poos leer je dat zelfs zonneschijn je verbrandt
als je er te veel van krijgt.

Dan wordt het tijd om je eigen tuin te beplanten
en zorg te dragen voor je eigen ziel
en wacht je niet langer op wonderen van buitenaf.

En dan weet je dat je écht kunt volhouden
en dat je écht sterk bent
en dat je echte waarde hebt
en je leert, en je leert ...

Bij ieder afscheid leer je.

Granted I might be a little bit lazy
But you`ve gotta trust me I`m finding the balance
Between the hearts of fire and the loss of desire

Understand how much I think it`s
needed for us to be romantic
I put my feet down on the ground
Ground me and then shelter me
With your cool cool embrace
Your warm congrazulations,
the testament to your grace

Ground me and then shelter me
With your cool cool embrace
Time will never be distant
Time can never erase
Love and never forget that I
Just got off and forgot to fly
Meet me under the spirit
Cheer me up till I cry

Granted I might be a little bit deaf,
but it seems that you`ve been wrong

Granted I might be lost in the woods,
Without a match for a light
With nothing but my heartache and
Power looking for a fight

Ooh, excuse me if I`m feeling a little bit distant
For what it`s worth I`m
trying to find the desire in my heart of fire
I don`t know if you understand anything that I`m saying
I can`t tell if your praying or trying to go to sleep

So ground me and then shelter me with your cool cool embrace
The warm congratulations
The testament to your grace

Ground me and then shelter me
With your loving and warm embrace
Time will never be distant
Time can never erase
Love and never forget that I
Just got off and forgot to fly
meet me under the spirit
cheer me up till I cry

Dream

(Priscilla Ahn)
I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

Now I'm old and feeling grey. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell. I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream

Before today

(EBTG)
I don't want excuses
I don't want your smiles
I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand miles
I don't want your attitude
I don't want your things
But I don't want a phone that never rings
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love and I want it now

I don't want your history
I don't want that stuff
I want you to shut your mouth
That would be enough
I don't care if you've been here before
You don't understand
Tonight I feel above the law, I'm coming into land
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love and I want it now

My heart is that much harder now
That's what I thought before today
My heart is that much harder now
I thought that it would stay that way, before today
Before today
But I don't want a phone that never rings
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love

Well it's been a long time, long time now
since I've seen you smile
and I'll gamble away my fright
and I'll gamble away my time
and in a year, a year or so
this will slip into the sea
well it's been a long time, long time now
since I've seen you smile

nobody raise their voices
just another night in Nantes
nobody raise their voices
just another night in Nantes

- Oh non je t'en prie, nous ne sommes pas chez nous.
- Oh je t'assures que ce n'est pas grave.
- Non laisse moi !
- Mais qu'est-ce que tu as aujourd'hui ?
- Je sais que les hommes me dégoutent. Vous ne pensez qu'à ça ...

I know how you feel
You're still hopeful
for something real
we always knew
this day would end
And leave us silent
once again
I hope you know
the state I'm in
I complicate
most everything
I hope you

I know how you feel
You're still hopeful
for something real
we always knew
this day would end
and leave us broken
once again
I hope you know
the state I'm in
I complicate
most everything
I hope you know
Just what it is
I hope you'll find
Just what you miss
I hope you

It will come to you
At the break of day
It will come to you
It'll wash away
It will come to you
Like the morning sun
It'll come to you

There'll never be another you, there'll never be another chance at bliss
There'll never be another you, there'll never be another time like this

I hear your words
You call my name
There's nothing left for us to say
I hear your words
come sing to me
In broken voice, you'll set me free
I hear your words
You call my name
There's nothing left for us to say
I hear your words
come sing to me
In broken verse, you'll set me free
I hear you

I know how you feel
You're still hopeful

You are

I want to live with you
In our beds of bliss
Want to hide out
In your tenderness
I want the world to be
Made complete
On your life, I will feed

You are
The summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide

It's freezing you
You're frozen still
Memories
Come flooding in
Turn the reel
Reverse the past
Are you trying to make
This moment last?

You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide
I want to live within
Cause I can't live without


I want to build it up
So it can break me down
I am gonna let her have
Her way with you
Do all things that I wanted to

You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside

You ARE
Feeling
Free
Born into the last divide
If
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside

You ARE
And again, and again
And again, and again
The murder inside

Sunny Road

(Emiliana Torrini)

Wrote you this
I hope you got it safe
It's been so long
I don't know what to say
I've travelled 'round
Through deserts on my horse
But jokes aside
I wanna come back home
You know that night
I said i had to go
You said you'd meet me
On the sunny road

It's time, meet me on the sunny road
it's time, meet me on the sunny road

I never married
Never had those kids
I loved too many
Now heaven's closed its gates.
I know I'm bad
To jump on you like this
Some things don't change
My middle name's still 'Risk'
I know that night
So long long time ago
Will you still meet me
On the sunny road

It's time, meet me on the sunny road
It's time, meet me on the sunny road

Well, this is it
I'm running out of space
Here is my address
And number just in case.
This time as one
We'll find which way to go
Now come and meet me
On the sunny road

November

(Azure Ray)

So i'm waiting for this test to end
So these lighter days can soon begin
I'll be alone but maybe more carefree
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly
I was afraid to be alone

Now I'm scared thats how I'd like to be

All these faces none the same
How can there be so many personalities
So many lifeless empty hands
So many hearts in great demand
And now my sorrow seems so far away
Until i'm taken by these bolts of pain
But i turn them off and tuck them away
till these rainy days that make them stay
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs

And the words still ring, once here now gone
And they echo through my head everyday
And i dont think they'll ever go away
Just like thinking of your childhood home
But we cant go back we're on our own

Oh
But i'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself I'll find it in myself

So were speeding towards that time of year
To the day that marks you're not here
And i think i'll want to be alone
So please understand that i don't answer the phone
I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls
Until i can see nothing at all
Only particles some fast some slow
All my eyes can see is all i know

Ohh..
But i'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself I'll find it in myself
