scattered gems - you held them in your hand

broken seashells scattered in the sand

what you do is within your command

throw it all away for an old idea

every day it's more than real

even if it's never quite ideal

throw it all away for an old idea

every day it's more than real

even if it's never quite ideal

all i say and all i do

never will get through to you

the ice isn't thick, but you just won''t see through

chorus

in orebro x4

all i say and all i do

never will get through to you

the ice isn't thick, but you just won''t see through

once one little crack appears

you won't be happy until it clears

continue skating, bringing me to tears

chorus

in orebro x4

the sun grew heavy and her eyes grew dim

sinking now, she refused to swim

the dark of night now comes crowding in

solen växel sig tung, hennes ögen mattas

nu sjunker hon, hon vägrar simme

nattans mörker träger sig inpa

chorus

angels

the angels circle round my head

but i don't want to play

i try to ignore them

live from day to day

but they repeat my sins to me

with everything they say

i'll put it in this big black hole

and hope it goes away

so i change my name every hundred years

a lock of hair every ten

burn a candle every year or so

but i think about you every day

but now it's gonna be another thousand years before i put my lips to your lips again

angels whisper in my ear

and follow the curve of my tongue

they write down every word i say

and everything i've done

i'll miss you whenever you are gone

for a week or for ten years

i'll love and dread to see you again

and it won't assuage my fears

so i change my name every hundred years

change my face every ten

burn a candle every year or so

but i think about you now and then

but now it's gonna be another thousand years before i put my lips to your lips again

the angels circle round my room

and watch me as i sleep

they're with me every hour of my life

permeate the deep

i'd kill them if i knew the way

to keep them off my back

i don't want them hanging 'round

keeping me on track

so i change my name every hundred years

a lock of hair every ten

burn a candle every year or so

but i think about you every day

but now it's gonna be another thousand years before i put my lips to your lips again

but now it's gonna be another thousand years before i put my lips to your witch's tit again

i love you

i love you

i love you i love you i love you

you're great

and besides you're kinda cute

greedy

i want your touch

i want your kiss

when i'm without it, it's exactly what i miss

because i'm greedy. i wish that you were greedy too.

i'm greedy, i wish that you were greedy like me

i want your effort

i want your time

i want everything to be mine

because i'm greedy. i wish that you were greedy like me

i'm greedy, i wish that you were greedy too

i want your kiss

i want your touch

i want everything, it's never enough

because i'm greedy. i wish that you were greedy too.

i'm greedy, i wish that you were greedy like me

i want your heart

i want your mind

i want more than i realistically find

because i'm greedy. i wish that you were greedy too

i'm greedy. but i guess i'm not greedy like you

can't help it

i'll bend the physical laws of time and space

to get back to you

layers of light fall away from your face

when i'm with you

i see the world shine within your eyes

but i guess that comes as no surprise

i can't help it

i'll cross through the borders of the wind

to get back to you

i hardly know where you end or where i begin

to get back to you

every new flavour finds its place

you are the special fifth taste

you can't help it

i'll break the physical laws of space and time

to get back to you

new universes form in the corners of my mind

when i'm with you

you know the secret, but i do too

it makes us do the dance we do

we can't help it

enough air

an empty room, chill in the air

there are a few clues showing who isn't there

all of those spots worn out by my stare

salt crystals from dried tears

spice my meals, they've been gathered for years

as if everything is just as it appears

i feel like i'm waiting

limbo never ends

time is abating, it's dulling my sense

but it doesn't alleviate the suspense

breathe a cold breath and blow it out

waiting for you to end this drought

but i'm still without

i can remember the day that you left

torn from my side we were cleft

so i wait to stop being bereft

ghosts in my home

but nobody's there

there is no sign

there's no mail in the box, not even a card

the phone doesn't ring there's not even a sound

nobody knocks on the door

and i know that it's you not coming home

so i'm still alone

until the end i will show that i care

with my last breath i know be screaming

life isn't fair

if i have enough air

stay

i see you, i hear the thoughts inside your head

i feel you, these things are better left unsaid

what would happen if we would peel away the days

what would happen on a rainy day in may

what would happen if you should stay

you know me

the convolutions in your mind

you see me

maybe you left me behind?

what would happen if we peeled away the days

what would happen if i don't get on that plane

what would happen if i should stay?

rainy day, what came before still in play still wanting more

rainy day, still in play, cards i missed, lips unkissed

i recognize your song from and old silent film

i recognize your form, fired from the kiln

why don't you stay?

scars

hey you outstanding what's on your mind?

when you ventured out last time, what did you find?

did you get hurt out there under the watching sun

so now you'll just stay in and sulk like you're the only one

every time you try there's a chance that you'll get hurt

but everytime you hurt you heal

and every time you heal you scar

your scars make you who you are

who you are

hey you wallflower don't you want to dance?

we're all here on the floor, why not take a chance?

are you embarrassed at what you've become

how the world shapes you cannot be undone

just jump into the water, put it into gear

we both know that the only thing that keeps you back is fear

those marks that you're left with prove where you've been

why hide them from the world - let them be seen

every time you try there's a chance that you'll get hurt

but everytime you hurt you heal

and every time you heal you scar

your scars make you who you are

who you are

gravity

this love it has a gravity

this love holds a great weight

this world tried to throw me off

this world shows me my fate

the turbulence is strong, i feel my way with my right hand

to keep me on the ground, keep me where i stand

the winds are blowing strong, threatening to throw me off

to keep me from going wrong i become a mountain

this love moves like geology

this love, it takes its time

this world it spins too fast to see

this world, can anything ever be mine?

the winds are blowing strong, i feel my way with my right hand

to keep me on the ground, keep me where i stand

the turbulence is strong, threatening to throw me off

to keep me from going wrong i become a mountain

standing on the surface of the earth

trying not to get thrown off

i need you here to hold me down,

i need you here to hold me

this world throws too much at me

this world spins at a great speed

when is enough enough?

what holds this great need?

wonder seeker

what i never learned in school

always served me well

though what these things may be

are always hard to tell

i seek the wonder in the world

the minor riddles

can keep me here

watching the sky

breathing the air

i seek the wonder in the world

the smallest insect

the tallest tree

the human actions

of humanity

i seek the wonder in the world

all the good things

and all the bad

are all the best things

i ever had

i seek the wonder in the world
