Hello Love 04:11
I walk the streets alone by day By night it's just the same I look around these concrete walls For any sign of you at all It breaks my heart as I reach down For a hand that can't be found Of a friend who showed the way Hello Love, it's me again. They took you in on your birthday I looked at you all tired and grey And in a flash I saw the years How we'd grown and faced our fears We never really wanted much A job, a home, some peace and love So I guess we had it made Hello Love, it's me again. I know the world it slowly turns And for you my heart still yearns As I'm talking to your grave Hello Love, it's me again. I tell the kids all that I know About how lives and how we'd grown Your tips and tricks pass through the years A wise one has much to give And I force a smile or two The mask to hide what makes me blue Is nothing more than a charade Hello Love, it's me again. I know the world it slowly turns And for you my heart still yearns As I'm talking to your grave Hello Love, it's me again.

I can't lie to save my life Maybe that's a good thing if you're gonna be my wife I'll try to be true And give you all the pleasure that you're due In this ever-speeding world Where our hopes are tumbled and are twirled#And never really in our grasp Except this love of ours that's built to last Once I let go of the past And shaped my views of everything brand new Now I'm just glad you're shaping my life through Your beauty and your grace, what else to say? Thank you for being you today. May the sunlight show the way And the wind be on your back each and every day And when you're feeling down May you have the strength to turn around To see joy in everything It's cold, it's hard, but the love you bring Touches everyone you meet I hope you're never beaten by the street And that you're smiling to yourself Proud of what you've done and what's to come If I could take another life, I'd take this one I love you more than I could ever say Thank you for being you today.

Arrival 03:54
You don't know how it goes Or why you're even here What a show, what a glow, Awaits you now in everything you fear And all I can do is steer But in my open arms I'll keep you safe from harm And your path clear There are rules, some you break While others see you through Good advice, my beliefs They disappear when I look at you But who I am you ain't a clue But in my open arms I'll keep you safe and warm And pull you through From baby steps to leading on We've got some things to build upon I hope you'll be who you want to be Woahhhhhh Got the time, got the will To build my life again Around your hopes, round your dreams And the obstacles that force a bitter end In me you got a friend In my open arms I'll keep you safe and warm And home again From baby steps to leading on We've got some things to build upon I hope you'll be who you want to be Woahhhhhh Here you come

Josefin 03:37
Josefin, I think you've gone and married me Josefin, I think you've gone and married me I thought that I was dreaming Now my dreams and life agree Josefin, I think you've gone and married me I've been lost and walking through a cold, dark wind What's the cost in having me as your friend? Have you given up some freedoms? Do I help you make amends? I've been lost and walking through a cold, dark wind I got hopes and dreams to share with you By my side, I'm hoping that they come true The grace and love you bring me, it helps the light push through I got hopes and dreams to share with you Josefin, I think you've gone and married me Josefin, I think you've gone and married me I thought that I was dreaming Now my dreams and life agree Josefin, I think you've gone and married me

Square One 03:51
(Lyrics and music by Tom Petty) Had to find some higher ground Had some fear to get around You can't say what you don't know Later on won't work no more Last time through, I hid my tracks So well I could not get back Yeah, my way was hard to find Can't sell your soul for peace of mind [Chorus] Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me my dear It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears It took a long time to get back here [Bridge] Try so hard to stand alone Struggle to see past my nose Always had more dogs than bones I could never wear those clothes It's a dark victory You won and you also lost Told her you were satisfied But it never came across [Chorus] Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me my dear It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears It took a long time to get back here [Chorus] Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me my dear It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears It took a long time to get back here Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me my dear It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears It took a long time to get back here

The Rain 05:36
Spent a long time waiting for this to pass by Spent a long time hating what you did and why Spent a long time thinking if I had done wrong Spent a long time drinking and writing this song I'd say it's my therapy, but it's just an escape for me I disappear so frequently, I can't see where I can be Damn sure that certainty was never blessed upon us three Still we struggle through the pain And hope for an end to the rain These wide open spaces that define our days It's all quiet at the races in the summer haze We talk through our problems, but we can't ignore How our home is sodden, the rain only pours Got hope inside I guess, and a burdened optimist I'm seeking ideals and truth, and the innocence of our youth I'm fighting the darkness, I'm just another face in the crowd Taking on the load of pain And hope for an end to the rain Still I cannot give in, a new chapter's about to begin With all our demons slain And a hope for the end of the rain

I'm in a bad way now - way out only down Try to keep you around, but you're gone, not to be found Is this what I want? Is this what I need? What will I become? Will I know how to succeed? Walking through the midnight rain Wishing for the steps I take To lead me towards your embrace I get lost to hide my face Nothing to test us now that life is on pause Still we race somehow, without any cause Never thought we;d take this path Told our love would always last Take the first train out of here To a sunrise, hazy and clear Where can I run away from love? Where can we see us from above? Tired eyes they soon give in I'm not ready to start again Walking through the midnight rain Wishing for the steps I take To lead me towards your embrace I get lost to hide my face Is the way decided? Is this all I can see? What will I become? Can I be free? Where can I run away from love? Where can we see us from above? Tired eyes they soon give in I'm not ready to start again Where can I run away from love? Where can we see us from above? Tired eyes they soon give in I'm not ready to start again I'm not ready, I'm never ready I'm not ready to go I'm not ready, I'm never ready I'm not ready to go I'm not ready, I'm never ready I'm not ready to go I'm not ready, I'm never ready I'm not ready to go

Shining 05:30
Listening to the advice Hoping for something fine To change the world that we've got now I'd fight for where I stand But that power can't be planned When the obstacles stand so proud Still I know it will be right somehow With your love shining down on me With your love shining down on me The loneliness is hard to bear In this whirlwind world it's hard to care And look out for those in such need I hope we take a long hard look At how we live, how we mistook All our gain for love so free Forget the hurt and let it be And have your love shining down on me Have your love shining down on me Have your love shining down on me Have your love shining down on me The news it makes me fear What we're doing and why we're here And if we're preaching far too much Half-informed sudden views Arguing through abuse Puts us so out of touch Together we can do so much With your love shining down on me With your love shining down on me With your love shining down on me With your love shining down on me
