Words come at me like they're bullets
Tears come at you like they're dry
Oh, my love, we've been foolish 
To think that this can't die
​

Ultimately

Ultimately, it’s a question of you or me 

It’s a matter good apart or bad together

Save yourself or become who you never were

A star in the universe is never as close as it looks

 

I can’t be a part of this anymore

I wanna get strong apart, or weak together

Now

 

Man! I should leave here

The streets are not for me to walk

The people not for me to talk to         

And man!, here comes the winter 

I owe myself to spend my time

On something that is truly mine

Oh! 

 

Ironically we’ll set each other free

When we to choose live apart not die together

The city lights combined with the shitty fights

I’m doing my best to stay awake as you fall asleep

 

Man! I should leave here

The streets are not for me to walk

The people not for me to talk to         

And man!, here comes the winter 

I owe myself to spend my time

On something that is truly mine

Oh! 

Parallel universe

You’re not to blame here

You’re not a thief

But around you, I abandoned my beliefs

I hear about you now

I raise my eyebrows

Wondering what this has got to do with me and my life

 

You’re not a liar 

You were always loyal

You put your heart and soul into something that would have destroyed us

I wasn’t misguided

I wasn’t betrayed

I was a coward, and oh, I was afraid 

In a parallel universe 

 

I got greedy, pulled a muscle

Now I’m walking with a limp

I got greedy, pulled a muscle

It’s easier than you think

I got greedy, pulled a muscle

Now I’m walking with a limp

In a parallel universe 

 

Feels like a dream now

A crazy fantasy

An idea I entertained in a distant galaxy 

Keep thinking back on these years of something

So different from who we are

So distant from that one thing

A parallel universe

 

I got greedy, pulled a muscle

Now I’m walking with a limp

I got greedy, pulled a muscle

It’s easier than you think

I got greedy, pulled a muscle

Now I’m walking with a limp

In a parallel universe 

 

Life is a boat out on the ocean

You can drift, or you can sail

Heading to shore, heading to sea

It’s impossible to fail

But can I rely on myself when I don’t know I got

To a parallel universe 

Take a bow

And the day you were born

Was the day that changed 

My path and pushed me

In your direction

 

You would never let anything come

Between you, yourself and that affection

So, I take a bow and I say to you

That nothing between us was ever true

We both know I am wrong

We both know what's going on 

 

And the day I was born

Was the day that changed

Our paths and pushed us

In each direction

 

Because we never let anything come

Between us, ourselves and that affection

So you can take a bow 

And you can say to me

There is nothing more to life than

What I see

We both know that you are wrong

And soon we'll know what's going on

 

Let's stop reaching for the power

And start running towards a higher

Understanding

Please let's never think that we are 

Better than we are together

 

So, I'll take a bow and I'll  say to you

That nothing between us was ever true

We both know I am right

And soon we'll go 

And pick another fight

Sink

And so the end is closer to us then we like to think

Covered in the bruises from the second try

I cannot imagine what it feels like when we sink

Lying on the bottom, fish are swimming by

And maybe, yeah maybe

 

You're the chain and I'm the ball

that hold us down

You're the clouds and I'm the bird

until we hit the ground

Let me change for you

Let me follow this through

 

I could write a song about how strong we are as two

I could hope that this would last forever more

I could build a bridge over the river running through

Your heart, so we don't have to be so far apart 

But maybe, yeah maybe

 

You're the chain and I'm the ball

that hold us down

You're the clouds and I'm the bird

until we hit the ground

Let me change for you

Let me follow this through

 

Let me rinse my soul

Let me chase my goals

Let me give it all for you

Don't you see the link

We don't have to sink

Let me give it all for you

And follow through

 

You're the chain and I'm the ball

that hold us down

You're the clouds and I'm the bird

until we hit the ground

Let me change for you

Let me follow this through

Don't be sorry

Quit the combat, quit the fight

And accept us the way we are

See the light that charges in

Whenever we’ve gone too far

 

No one’s gonna get you

Don’t let them upset you   

The strength is in what you don’t do

So, don’t be sorry. Don’t you worry 

 

Every moment has its purpose

Just like the birds must fly

There can be some times

When you read the fear in between the lines

 

No one’s gonna get you

Don’t let them upset you   

The strength is in what you don’t do  

So, don’t be sorry. Don’t you worry 

 

Some of that is not even mine

A lot of that is definitely wasting our time    

Come on  

Loosen the grip that you got

And don’t be sorry. Don’t you worry.

 

Turn a corner, turn a few 

And see where you get this time

New conditions, same conviction

Everything shines so bright

 

No one’s gonna get you

Don’t let them upset you   

The strength is in what you don’t do  

Don’t be sorry. Don’t you worry

 

Be the writer, not the reader

And everything falls into place

We put a face on, when we need our hands on

It’s never to late to create 

 

No one’s gonna get you

Don’t let them upset you   

The strength is in what you don’t do  

So, don’t be sorry. Don’t you worry 

First goodbye

And the day came

When we realized

That no such flame

Will remain uncompromised

So, we said our first goodbye

And left the place with closed eyes

 

Don't erase my name from your memory

When you decide to change my destiny

Hear my when I say

We were so beautiful

And nothing's gonna change that, no

 

I wouldn't changed a single smile

Not taken bak a word

Or say that i'll be fine

Nor make an effort to 

Look as if this is something

I easily do 

Oh no, not with you

 

Don't erase my name from your memory

When you decide to change my destiny

Hear my when I say

We were so beautiful

And nothing's gonna change that, no

Thoughts of you

How have you been?

Tell me about everything you have seen

Did you think of me — at all

 

How is your day? 

Did you feel like you were miles away

From who you are

 

I know, somehow I lost myself in sorrow

But I’ve got to be honest

Too old for anything else

There’s not a week

There’s not a day

Where thoughts of you don’t come my way

No pain, no gain

Speak my mind 

I watched you through my window

The next second I was blind

You had taken everything 

And left my side

 

Silence came

And touched me by the cheek

And said "No pain, no gain"

Still wondering what she really

But hey, okey

It doesn't make a difference now

It's all the same

You're all the same

 

You're all the same

Forgiven

Some day I can be forgiven

But I know that we need time

I don't wanna be driven 

By anything else than love

 

Words come at me like they’re bullets

Tears come at you like they’re dry

Oh, my love we’ve been foolish

To think that this can’t die

 

Something tells me it’s live or die

Something whispers it’s over now

I’m in love, but I know a life awaits

 

I hope one day we can meet 

And tell it like it is 

I hope one day we are free 

To see that we are free

 

Can we honor our commitment

Not to leave anything behind

Can we transform our way of living 

And be true to what we find 

 

You look at me like I’m a stranger

I wonder who’s sitting over there

Oh, how we put this in danger
By never being here
