1. It Was Meant To Be A Love Song
Baby, it was meant to be a love song- for you
Baby, it was meant to be a love song- for you
Baby, it was meant to be a love song- for you
It was meant to be a love song- oh baby
Maybe you became a black hole-in me
Baby, it was meant to be a love song- for you
It was meant to be a love song- oh baby
Just like every day, we're half away
We're nearly there, we crawl in pain
We start to pray, but it's a waste
God is dead
Baby, it was meant to be a love song- for you
It was meant to be a love song- oh baby
3. Berlin
I stayed up all night watching her smile
We were lost in dreams
She had told me she'd better move out
To escape from the city
I and my band just came from the south
And we drove such a long way here
But when I looked in her eyes
It was worth every mile
She was cold just like Berlin
She was Broken like Berlin
She was torn just like Berlin
She was crazy like Berlin
Like Berlin
This rusty old coffee bar
Still reminds me of cold, cold winters
We remember those places
That gave us a shelter to love
I stood in your doorway tonight
But I was too scared to call you
So I just walked away on my own
When you turned out the light
She was cold just like Berlin
She was Broken like Berlin
And she was torn just like Berlin
She was crazy like Berlin
Like Berlin
2. Black & White
You told me that you're alone
You're living with him
Like you were on your own
Sometimes it rains in heaven, you know
Sometimes your heart just tells you: let go
So tell me, dear
How many years passed you by in black & white?
I'm here, I'm running to you
There will be color in lifeless eyes
I'm here, I'm coming to you
Hold on, hold on, and hold on
You said I'm an island of gold
Your ship crashes to pieces on my beautiful shore
Sometimes it rains in heaven, you know
Sometimes love is like a storm, it's comes and goes
So tell me, dear
How many years passed you by in black & white?
I'm here, I'm running to you
There will be color in lifeless eyes
I'm here, I'm coming to you
Hold on, hold on, and hold on
You said, don't you know, how you can't see
It's like shooting at a passing truck full with gasoline
You said, don't you know, how you can't see
It's like shooting at a passing truck full with gasoline
How many years
So tell me, dear
How many years passed you by in black & white?
I'm here, I'm running to you
There will be color in lifeless eyes
I'm here, I'm coming to you
Hold on, hold on, and hold on
Sometimes it rains in heaven, you know
3. It's Cloudy Now
6. It's cloudy now
In a violent place
we can call our country
There's a mixed up man
and I guess that's me.
The sun's in the sky
but the storm no seems to end.
It's a place of sorrow
that we call it a home.
And the darkest thoughts
yeah, I guess there my own
There is wealth in the bank
but there is nothing to show inside.
In a special place
that I call my life
The father is cruel
and he lost his wife
But I don't see either
cause I live a cross the street
It's a beautiful thing
when it starts to rain
The man who drinks
Want's to drown with pain
And I can't stop from dreaming of something else.
We are a Fucked Up Generation !
It's cloudy now
A fucked up generation
It's cloudy now
We gotta get out of here
It's cloudy now
A fucked up generation
It's cloudy now
4. It's Alright
Don't be afraid , it's gonna be a beautiful day
Try to dance to the rhythm of the dreams in your head
She may show up later on today
Someone's watching you and hears you pray
It's gonna be alright
Keep on your way you're gonna make it through today
A ray of light reflected from your long black hair
And you can tell the difference from yesterday
Don't be surprise it's gonna be a beautiful day
It's gonna be alright
Don't be afraid it's gonna be a beautiful day
Try to dance to the rhythm of the dreams in your head
She may show up later on today
Someone's watching you and hears you pray
It's gonna be alright

6. Silence
Last night wasn't easy, baby
It felt like digging diamonds from the mud
I'm here on my own now, baby
I'm on the third floor but it feels like a basement
I wish you the best and silence
To hide from the rain of your sadness
I wish you a home
But if you feel like you want me
So come on and get me
But if you feel like you want me
So come on and get me
It's faster on the way down my baby
It's called the highway of the broken hearted
They said we're not gonna make it
I do believe them
They know what the're saying
I wish you the best and silence
To hide from the rain of your sadness
I wish you a home
But If You Feel Like You Want Me
So come on and get me
But if you like you want me
So come on and get me
7. Heroes
Don't you send your boy
When the country calls you
They will turn him into stone
So many heroes
After they're gone
Cos after all they're plastic soldiers
Melting in the fire line
They're calling them heroes
After they die
While the general in his fancy office
Your'e just a number on his map
Can you be heroes and be alive?
Don’t you send you boy
When the country calls you
8. The One
You'll never be the one again , the one again
Don't you dare try to break up, Don't you dare try to break up
It doesn't metter. It take a look to remember
You'll never be the one again, the one again
Don't you dare try to break up, Don't you dare try to break up
No more Saturdays , no more Saturdays
no more Saturdays
I'll do for you all the things that I shouldn't do
You'll never be the one again , the one again
Don’t you dear try to break up
Can you feel it?
All my dry kisses and fake tears
You'll never be the one again, the one, the one again.
9. Forest In My Heart
The buildings in this town
Make me cry
When I'm looking at their windows
In each window there's a light, there's a lie
It's the kingdom of their sorrow
We got out own place you and I
And no matter how we've tried
There's a gap between us and we can't hide
You can blame me if you want
It's the forest in my heart
You see me brain is blank
I got no memories inside
No flashes from my childhood
I wish I was asked to play to play
With friends I never had
It was so lonely
And when love comes around
I know it's not for long
It ends so cruel
Its tears me all apart
I'm always getting lost
In the forest in my heart
So thank you, dad and mum
For never being around
When I was struggling
You where my salty sea
You burned my eyes to see all the beauty
And music is my will
The music makes me feel
And after all I'm still here
There's a bird that always sings
In the forest in my heart.
10. Now Or Never
I walked the avenue
The cool wind cuts me through
Tried to find my path
To find my path to you
The city light throwing shadows down on me
And no one sees all the shadows of my dreams
No news today, The sun fades away
It could be better
It's now or never
I don't want to fall down agine
Don't want to fall down
I don't want to fail
No one like to lose
Such a dirty ground
So how am I supposed to bloom
Behind that door I can hear the princess' heels
I'm so close I know they're dancing while I'm out of here
No news today and nothing has changed
And I remember it's now or never
I don’t want to fall down agine
Don’t want to fall down
I never thought it's so easy
I'm not one of those crazy guys
I just want my star to shine clear
Clear and bright in the sky
No news today, The sun fades away
It could be better
It's now or never
I don't want to fall down agine
Don't want to fall down
11. October
My happiness is buried in the sand
In the backyard of my life, I can't remember where
Think it was October's rain that watched me cry
No one else was around my happiness
Diving to the bottom of the see
To find the wild white pearls which hide from me
And only empty shells were lying there
Like my happiness, my happiness
And when you see me running
Don't assume I'm running to somewhere I belong
And when you see me crying don’t feel sorry for me
My happiness is like a snake
Slides below the wooden floor To the darkest place
and just sits and wait's 'till no on'es there
just like my happiness , my happiness
and when you see me smiling I come to you I'm trying
to steal your smile for me
I hate you when you're glowing
The way you're walking between my tears
So when you see me running
Don't assume I'm running to somewhere I belong
And when you see me crying don’t feel sorry for me
So when I die and October comes
And the leaves stop falling down upon the ground
And when the rain will stop you can be sure
I found my happiness.
