Goodbye Now
tekst: W. Bouma / muziek: J. Winterwerp, R. Knijnenburg
Your heart’s been broken, your memories gone. She took them as a token and left with the sun. You realize now; your life was a lie. You fell into the ground, looking up to the sky… All you do is cry now, nothing’s really worth. Since she said goodbye now and left you oh, so hurt… Screaming at the stars, watching passing cars. You see the birds flying by, but all you do is cry. Forever is a lie.

Intention’s Left Your Vacant Smile
tekst: W Bouma / muziek: W. Bouma
The clock’s gone its own way; discording from everything I ever hoped for. Yet so dishonest is the race we try to keep up with. Do you want everyone else to fail before you do? We were straddling the white line of the most trickery road that we ever have been to. Our love’s outrageously surrounded by your greedy, selfish lies. I know everything will be alright, still I feel like we’re facing the way back down. Well it strikes, intention’s left your vacant smile, at least repeat my favourite end. And I’ll know, I know… And every airplane we pointed at seemed as tiny as our fingertips. I hope you’ll agree with the fact that I won’t say a thing, because I’m gasping for breath in this cold summer night. I know everything will be alright, I got to stretch out my arms because she blurs my sight. Time has laughed at us trying to overtake its way, in spite of all the days we’d thrown away to know. And I’ll know, I know… I know everything will be alright, I thought we’d speed up but we fell behind. a brilliant crash was something you were preparing for, so tragic were the gainings, explanations are the worst to know in this situation.

A Shoulder To Cry On
tekst: B. de Wijs / muziek: R. Knijnenburg, B. de Wijs
It’s the first day of the year but I’m not feeling as good as new. I’m waiting for my head to collapse. There’s the message that I feared and I can’t hold it back no more. I leave the room to enter the gap. I’ve had enough to drink for weeks. I’ve had enough of empathy, advice and well-intentioned lies. All I needed was a shoulder to cry on. It’s your footsteps in hall, it’s your arm reaching out for me. I’m prepared to let down my guard. No longer care about the fall now the pain is all over me. I feel like there’s a hole in my heart. All I needed was your shoulder. I remember years ago when you were just a kid who wouldn’t leave me alone. Who would have thought you’d dry my tears? Now the tables have turned. I wonder if you’d look up to a king with no throne. I hope we’ll keep this running for years. For years and years and years.

I’m Fine
tekst: B. van Dalen / muziek: B. van Dalen
So, shall I kick off with the bad news? We’ve had a year full of abuse and lies. There was some love, there were some fights. But was it all for this prize? A bitter view in your eyes? ‘Cause I would die to see you cry of what you tried that Thursday night. You should have called me to say “I’m sorry” but that’s part of your poisoned pride. Why did you want me? I sure am sorry for this waste of precious time. Thirty different ways to die. You’ve thrown away your chance to shine and now I am proud to say “I’m fine”.

Last Night
tekst: W. Bouma / muziek: W. Bouma
I just lost the way to truth. I try to find myself and wish you had pulled me through. But it feels like home when you leave me alone; at the end of the day I’m a fool on my own. But if I, had just a minute to forget the otherside and made the words undone I said. After all I tried to get you not upset, I wonder how to get lost and found; without you I’m rejected… Where’s that shallow thing that makes my life brighter, can’t you see i’m not cool enough to say?

Leave It All
tekst: W. Bouma / muziek: W. Bouma
There we stand and our hands slipped away from eachother. We as pretending ones during our last sunset. Would you stay untill your dreams have become your radio? Patiently waiting for the slightest breeze to take you home again? And you will never be the first one, to see us together has its faults. And I will be waiting down your window, because I don’t want to leave it all… I don’t want to leave it all. You got me screaming; insecure descents are coming up to what you’ve always dreamed of… So long my dear old heart. So curious and forced to know what’s right or wrong. Distracted by the drug which name is yours too. Aren’t we obviously exhausted?

Lost And Found
tekst: B. van Dalen / muziek: R. Knijnenburg, B. van Dalen
So I’m glad you joined the show. I’m glad you found some ways to let go. Because now the band starts playing songs that we already know. And the crowd starts moving, things were getting out of control. We were falling slowly on the ground. Words you spoke were lost and found. We’re back on the run. We’re coming undone. We’re only waiting. We’re back on the front. I think that we’ve won. And I’ll just stay right here. Hey, I’m glad you decided to stay. I’m glad you didn’t look the other way. No, I am not tired, I just don’t know what to say. I’m feeling rolled up but there’s nothing that can stand in my way. I was falling slowly on the ground. Words you spoke were lost and found. The things that you said, the numerous rounds were just lost in the head. But now i’ve found you. Lost and found you. I was lost and found.

My Side Of The Story
tekst: B. de Wijs, B. van Dalen, R. Beld / muziek: B. van Dalen, R. Beld
Wrong, you got it all wrong. But you won’t hear my side of the story. So I am gone. It’s over and done. I’m sleeping alone tonight. Fun we had all the fun. I had no idea that the ship was sinking in the long run. Guess I was wrong. I’m taking an early flight. Right, I’m feeling alright. As long as I keep my mind off thinking over that night. And how you replied when I said it’s over. Hide the tears that I cried. I no longer need your sweet compassion now we collide. You tear me inside. I’m pulling the covers. It took you so long to figure out just what you were missing. You’re moving on, I’m not the one. I wonder whose lips you will be kissing when I’m gone. Goodbye my life goes on. Time, I needed more time. I lost myself somewhere along the way. I’m trying to find what I leave behind whenever we disagree. Go, I don’t wanna go. I don’t wanna close the door to everything that I know. I’m moving so slow. I thought you belonged to me.

October Tune
tekst: W. Bouma / muziek: W. Bouma
I feel my heartbeat’s freezing as she sighs, but the friction eases me to call upon the surface when bad news comes crashing in. And it’s the room that pulls me closer to the walls, because I’m afraid to lose it all inside this empty growing space that I’d called home… And I’m sure it feels awkward to tell me the same, the same you told your friends before. Before I’ll shake your apologies, I scatter and fray… I feel weak at the things you’ve said, because I can tell there’s no way they’ll get out of my head. Here’s your heart back, bring me our fire, I’ll burn the day; october’s here to stay… So here we sit, the pouring stops. My eyes are shut, her fingers crossed. And every inch between us was alright. Yes, I caught the lie. Step one; I breathe, step two; ‘us’ dies, step three; I leave and feel the end, as if our time was never spent…

Sad Exhibitions
tekst: W. Bouma / muziek: W. Bouma, R. Knijnenburg
Well I never fell apart like that, my heart sparkled and took off straight ahead. Closing directions to senses I never trust again. You looked away when I saw you stare… You pushed your way through my veins into my head; you were stuck in my brains. Unconsciousness embraces my fears, you chase me in my dreams… And all I saw was an extended sense of superstition, it’s time to leave, I won’t be faced with any sad exhibitions. I hope you will take my curiosity into account. Envious dreams isn’t what I long for anymore, let’s take him down was what my destiny shouted. Someday I’ll understand your amazing passion to break my heart each time. Over again.

Sleeping Without You
tekst: B. de Wijs / muziek: B. de Wijs, H. Winterwerp
You’re taking this way too serious. And I’m not even gonna believe it, what you’re seeing in us. I’m taking it one step at a time. I’m not trading for hearts for each other. No, I’d rather resign. So goodnight sweetheart. I’m not staying awake another hour ‘cause you’re just staying away all night. I’ll be sleeping, I’ll be sleeping without you. You’ve already fit me in your plan. But I’m not really ready to join you. Disappoint you again. So goodnight sweetheart.

Turbulence
tekst: W. Bouma / muziek: W. Bouma, J. Winterwerp
Guess what; it hurts. In two, I burst. Needles as answers collapse in laughter. Your words are at a loss; Shiver’s all across your lips. And my eyes attempt to disguise… I’ve never been this far yet, please spare me from the edge. And even if this turbulence could cause a stormy night, I would fiercely hold on to my kite… As soon as we lay, the world took away our breath. And we might try. From tension to touch, collision results. As we exceeded the night; I never felt so right… Say self-regarded but I’m just done to the wide… And after two more days, she cries on the phone. And I’m convinced. The weather is calm, I let go.

Wake Up Call
tekst: B. van Dalen, R. Knijnenburg / muziek: R. Knijnenburg, B. van Dalen, W. Bouma
On the edge of a passing day. Times are fading, thoughts are washed away. The moon is taking over. Underneath the stars I’ve walked for miles. I crossed a river just to see your smile. I see you standing and I try to reach out for you. Do you hear that sound? Beep, beep: wake up call. You thought you had it all but it was all a dream. It’s a brand new day and you’re not planning to stay. So wake up, get out of bed. We are running out of time. Our love is ending, say goodbye. ‘Cause this might be our last chance. ‘Cause I hear that sound again. Try to snooze and sleep again, back to that dream where you live in. This can not last, I can’t get track. I just want you back.
