Lyrics

I went out on the street one day
Wanted to embrace
The world outside

It was pretty scary
The streets were nearly empty
It was like a bolt from the sky

If we had all looked closely
We could have seen it coming
But we’ve been blind

Now we’re caught behind
Our own four walls inside
Oh how hard we try

We are insecure
What we’re supposed to be striving for
Is now lying on the floor

We feel disturbed
We think that we deserve
All that we had before

Now we’re restless
We find ourselves
Thrown back to ourselves

And we’re caught behind
Our own four walls inside
Oh how hard we try

The doors are locked
We’ve lost control
Hard rain is gonna fall
Will it stop or will it crawl
Into our hearts
Into our souls

Will we regret
Will we confess
That maybe, maybe we were on the wrong track
Isolation Wien
Where did this all begin?

I went out on the street today
I remember that we talked about this
Over and over and over and over again

We’ve been terrified
Categorized and patronized
But didn’t stop that train

If we had all looked closely
We could have seen it coming
But we’ve been blind

Now we look behind
What comes to our minds
Is how hard we could have tried

She was born in a town in the middle of nowhere
She used to wear
Her curly hair pulled back into a braid
And her feet were never bare

Her mama taught her how to dress up and style and how to smile
Even if she felt like crying
She believed that looking neat would be the underlying thing
She’d ever need

Her opinion wasn’t heard
To her daddy it didn’t matter what she said
She knew that she would never
Be the same important as a man

She says please, please, please
Don’t tell me what to say
Don’t tell me what to do
‘Cause I can do better without you

She always tried to make it right
But she could never succeed
A change would do her good, she thought
And she decided to leave

In the train on the way to the place
Where she knew she’d like to be
She pictured all the places, the people with friendly faces
She would meet

She says please, please, please
I’ll walk this way all on my own
There’s nothing you can say
Nothing you can hold me from
She wants to rise, rise, rise
So step out of her way
You don’t know where her courage comes from
But you know it’s going to stay

A year is over and still
She doesn’t know where to belong
Although it hurts it could be worse, she knows
She’s strong enough to get along

A book, a pen and a paper in her bag is all
That she would need
Then everything is gonna be the way she thinks
It ought to be

My head is so heavy even when
I lay it down on a silky pad
I was so close. So close

I’m lost in an infinite loop of my thoughts
I’m losing myself in recurring doubts
I was so close, so close
I was so close, so close to falling asleep

I’m standing on the edge of my mind
Always trying to run faster than time
I look in the mirror and hope to see clearer
I’m stuck in my own one-woman show
It seems I’m overloaded

I rewind my mind trying to figure out
What time it was when my head and my heart
Were drifting apart. Was it when I grew up?
I chose security
And lost the ability
To sleep
And to dream
And to dream while I sleep

My head’s so heavy even when
I lay it down on the softest pad
I was so close
I was so close
I was so close

I see the moon come rising
Silence spreads over the dark sky
I see your face, I see you smiling
It feels like you’re smiling at me

When I was a little girl
And I didn’t want to fall asleep at night
My mother took me to the window, and with eyes open wide
I looked up to the clouds illuminated by your light

And I saw you, and you were watching me
You soothed me, and then I could close my eyes

You stir me up, don’t let me get some sleep
You make me nervous, I can’t set my mind at ease
You capture me, I’m trapped within me
You’re out of my, but I’m not out of your reach

I look at you questioningly
What do you see when you are watching me?
You keep your course, I try to savvy
But I can’t stay awake, and while I sleep you disappear

Above the roofs I see you rising
Light spreads over the dark sky
I see your face, I see you smiling
And you’re smiling at me

The wind blows cold when you reach the top, but you don’t feel it
You never believe that some things make you weak
You hardened your heart
Against your fears

Many mornings, days and nights you closed your eyes to your life
Please wake up and realize
This road has an end, you sacrifice
Your health

Please wake up
It’s your life
Take a walk through this beautiful park

I know for a quite a while it’s knocking silently at your door
You fear that things could fall apart
Without you taking charge
With all your heart

Remember the dreams in your mind
Allow them to stay
Leave your windows uncovered at night
To let the dreams take you away

I see her walking down the road towards a crossroad
She stumbles and falls, she looks behind
She looks at her right, she looks at her left
Then she smiles

This was the last thing that I expected
I saw it coming, I never said that
Then in spring it became a certainty

All summer through I couldn’t see your pain
I didn’t want to see your pain
‘Cause I wanted all to stay the same

Summer faded and fall arrived
The trees lost their leaves, time passed by
And I couldn’t stop to cry all the time

As a year had passed someone said ‘get over it’
But I’m still not tired of letting it
‘Cause I fear memories could fade, but I want them to stay

I remember how I felt when you went away
The season changed, and it changed again
When I close my eyes I can still hear your voice

From time to time I see you
From time to time I feel you so near
and then I always fear
that when I’m getting closer, you disappear

These lines are unfinished thoughts
They shall keep you alive wherever I walk
I was told I refuse to go deeper, I’m afraid this is true
I regret that I never danced with you
I regret that I never danced with you
I regret that I never danced with you

This is a love song
To all those
Whose hearts are open
To the broken
To all the lost
trying to be strong
to get along

Sometimes I’m tired
Words seem to have left me
And I admire
That you’re always sharing
You’re always caring,
You made your choice
to use your voice
for the deprived
in their rights

How long, how long?
How long, how long?
How long will it take
Until we all
Will understand?

Love is something
That you can find
In someone’s heart
In someone’s eyes
But be aware
it won’t be forever
if you don’t take care

How long, how long?
How long, how long, how long?
How long, how long, how long will it take
Until we all, until we all
Will understand?

It’s Sunday and it rains
and I would like to stay
inside and brush the raindrops away.
Then I see you outside
with a glint in your eyes
and I realize I wanna be by your side.

Raindrops are falling on my shoulder,
my feet are getting colder and I’m freezing all over.
But the rain is fine, and you say that I shouldn’t mind,
because it comes and goes from time to time.

I would travel far
to bring the sun canned in a jar
with me back home to write a bright summer song.
But instead it won’t take long
until snow will fall.
And still I see you smile while you’ re watching the sky.

Snowflakes are falling on my shoulder
My feet are getting colder and I’m freezing all over.
But the snow is fine, seems it lights up the sky
I know it comes and goes from time to time.

And after all
snow stops to fall.
We’re home and I’d like you to know
I love everything about you,
everything you do.
You make me smile, and not only in June.

The leaves on the trees are cheerfully dancing,
it seems like time stands still.
The evening breeze blows away my worries,
I’m amazed by the way I feel.
There are moments I can hardly breathe,
I get lost in bitter dreams.
But for a moment, for a moment at least
I can take it like it is
and find a little peace.

We often say that time is a great healer,
but time is never on our side.
We believe that life goes on forever,
and this almost makes us blind.
For a moment I can clearly hear
that time for changes is drawing near.
But for a moment, for a moment at least
I can take it like it is
and find a little peace.
I can take it like it is
and I can freely breathe.

This little bird made me swaying, this little bird made me terribly blue.
This little bird made me laughing, laughing out of the blue.
This little bird made me weeping, this little bird sometimes made me cry.
This little bird made me flying, flying high in the sky.

Just when I had you out of my head, your voice comes crashing in again,
trashing wildly through my head.
Why do you get me down again?

This little bird made me sleepless, made me troubled inside of me.
This little bird made me singing, light and fragile we’ll be.

Just when I had you out of my head, your voice comes crashing in again,
trashing wildly through my head.
Why do you get me down again?

This little bird left me struggling, left me struggling with myself.
This little bird left me trying, trying to find myself.
This little bird left me trying, trying to find myself.
This little bird left me trying, trying to find myself.

It’s already morning, but I don’t want to sleep
Surrounded by the starlight, nothing between you and me
Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you
Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you

Please, don’t stop saying that you want me, don’t stop saying that you care
Don’t stop saying that I’m beautiful, don’t stop saying (that) you walk on air

Say you don’t ever leave me, with you I want to sail the sea
Feels like in a movie, feels like you belong to me
Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you
Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you

Please, don’t stop saying that you want me, don’t stop saying that you care
Don’t stop saying that I’m beautiful, don’t stop saying (that) you walk on air
Don’t stop calling me your sunshine, don’t stop saying I make you sway
Don’t stop calling me ‘Sweet Valentine’, don’t stop saying that you stay

Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you
Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you
Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you
Your soft hands, your soft eyes, I’m close to you

Do you remember when you did what you did without thinking too much?
Do you remember when you said what you said without weighing your words?
Do you remember counting your own heartbeat without feeling that it’s absurd?
Do you remember when sitting and watching and dreaming was enough?

Do you remember sitting by the sea, your feet in heated sand? You wished that it would never end.
But waves break and hearts ache, hands wait and pictures stay.
And you know you’ll always remember the day when life was changed and rearranged.

Waves break and hearts ache, hands wait and pictures stay.
And you know you’ll always remember the day when life was changed and rearranged.
And you know you’ll always remember the day when (your) life was changed and rearranged.

Waves break and hearts ache, hands wait and memories stay …

You think I’m crazy? Perhaps I am.
My way of life you don’t understand.
It makes me happy, it makes me weird.
You think I’m crazy? Perhaps I am.

Some plans work out, some will never do.
I hope to win, but I also dare to loose.
Sounds good to me, but strange to you.
You think I’m crazy? Perhaps you should be, too.

Will you dare to get closer? Will you dare to break through?
Will you dare to follow? I wished you would try to do.

Sometimes I want to run away, but then I stay.
Although I think of it, there’s no other way.
I would like to ease your fears, but I can’t.
You think I’m crazy? Perhaps I am.

It seems you don’t understand what I’m looking for.
There are times when I myself don’t know.
You expect me to be what I can never be.
I wished you believed in yourself, and please believe in me.

Will you dare to get closer? Will you dare to break through?
Will you dare to follow? I wished you would try to do.

Will you dare to get closer? Will you dare to break through?
Will you dare to follow? I hope you will.

Behind the wall there’s someone who wants to be seen
Behind the wall there’s someone who’s not always what it seems
Who sometimes goes mad, who even bounds to break bad
Who’s longing for someone who carries the key.

Behind the wall there’s someone who twists and turns
Behind the wall there’s someone whose heart heavily burns
Who’s sometimes drowned in tears, sometimes full of fears
It will not change over the years

Try to crack me up take care of my heart
Don’t turn tail and flee
Look behind the wall take care of my heart
Sweep me off my feet

Behind the wall there’s someone who wants to break out of bounds
Behind the wall there’s someone who doesn’t know what life’s about
With hopes in the sky, trying to fly
But sometimes stuck on the ground

Try to crack me up take care of my heart
Get me back on my feet
Look behind the wall take care of my heart
Watch over me

Try to crack me up take care of my heart
Get me back on my feet
Look behind the wall take care of my heart
Watch over me
