Lifelines

1. Lifelines
(Магне Фурухольмен)

One time to know that it's real
One time to know how it feels
That's all
One call - your voice on the phone
One place - a moment alone
That's all

What do you see?
What do you know?
What are the signs?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifelines through
What do you hate?
What do I do?
What do you say?
Don't throw your lifelines away
Don't throw your lifelines away

One time - just once in my life
One time- to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look - I see no reasons why you can't
One chance to be back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once I make us believe it's true

What do we see?
Where do we go?
What are the signs?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifelines show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go

2. You Wanted More
(Магне Фурухольмен/Мортен Харкет)

You know the way
You've been before
I've seen the signs
Outside your door
You set the rules
The bitter days
Can't be ignored It's just the same Just like before You wanted more I love the sun I love the rain You gave it up But all in vain I love the way It was before So bittersweet To be adored We had it all You let it go You wanted more But in the end What is a friend If not some one To help pretend Remember me You know my name I'm still the same But not for you That's not enough You wanted more I love the sun I love the rain You gave it up But all in vain You couldn't change You know the score So bittersweet To be adored We had it all You gave it up You wanted more But in the end What is a friend You loved the way It used to be The way you are You and me You came too late You left too soon Just like the rings Around the moon We had it all You let it go You wanted more We had it all You gave it up You wanted more 3. Forever Not Yours Hold me tight This is a lonely night And I've hurt you baby Because you are my light Make me strong Just like you make me weak When your hands reach out for me Even in your sleep I'll soon be gone now Forever not yours It won't be long now Forever not yours Memories they keep coming through The good ones hurt more Than the bad ones do The days were high And the nights were deep And I miss you baby I miss you baby I'll soon be gone now Forever not yours It won't be long now Forever not yours I'll soon be gone now It won't be long now Forever not Forever not yours I'll soon be gone now Forever not yours It won't be long now Forever not yours I'll soon be gone now Forever not yours It won't be long now Forever not yours 4. There's a Reason For It Don't know how it got away from me Don't know how I let things go, you see Don't know why it took a sudden turn Didn't seem to be a big concern And everything is all too much Hot and bothered, you're cool to the touch And everyone is worlds apart It must have been this way from the start When there's nothing here to save the day Then we have to say There's a reason for it When there's nothing left for us to do You're left without a clue There's a reason for it Don't know how it got away from me Don't know how I let things go, you see Don't know why it took a sudden turn Didn't seem to be a big concern And everyone is all too well All well-adjusted people Can't you tell? And everything is all too fast Just add water Nothing's built to last When your colleagues can't recall your name Time and time again There's a reason for it When your name's the butt of every joke Just about to croak There's a reason for it And everyone is worlds apart It must have been this way from the start When there's nothing here to save the day Then we have to say There's a reason for it When there's nothing left for us to do You're left without a clue There's a reason for it There's a reason for it There's a reason for it There's a reason for it 5. Time and Again The sun brought me The moon caught me The wind fought me The rain got me The road sent me For years bent me The stars overwhelmed me Time and again But now I can't see the stars The star is a thing I can't see And now I don't feel the same To feel is a thing I can't be Earth crushed me Fame brushed me The streets hushed me As life touched me Time placed me Events dazed me Love saved me Now and again But now there can be no love Love is a thing I can't be And there can be no trust Trust is a thing I can't see But now there can be no love Love is a thing that can't be Now I can't be so strong Strong is a thing I can't be Time and again Time and again The sun brought me 6. Did Anyone Approach You You never look up You never look back You never say anything based on fact You've got issues going way back You never say 'hi' You never say much You never make an effort to stay in touch I've got this feeling something happened here Something happened here Did anybody feel you? Did anybody deal you? Did anybody make you do some things now? Did anyone approach you? Did anybody coach you? Did anybody tell you what to say now? Hopeless - it's not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless at all You never looked up You never look back You never did anything in between Are things black and white with you You never believed You never belonged Never made milestones to call your own I've got this feeling something happened here Something happened here Did anybody hide you? Did anybody fight you? Did anyone decide to do some harm now? Did anybody read you? Did anybody bleed you? Did anybody feed you lots of junk now? Hopeless - it's not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless Hopeless - it's not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless at all Hopeless - it's not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless at all Something happened here Something happened here 7. Afternoon High The sunlight hits the corner of your eye As it bounces off the morning sky The summer in the 70s fly by Bye Daylight hits the corners of your mind Steals the thought you thought no one could find Close your eyes and it will rob you blind Blind Incidental memories collide Sentimental reveries abide Afternoon high Daylight hits the corners of your mouth Steals the words that filled you up with doubt Open up and let them all fall out Honey smoothes the wrinkles from you bed Gone are the indentations of your head Leaving just the frown upon your forehead Incidental memories collide Sentimental reveries abide Afternoon high Worry works a wrinkle over time Open eyes and let it rob you blind Incidental memories collide People tell me you've been blinded by On afternoon high On afternoon high On afternoon high 8. Oranges on Apple Trees Oranges on apple trees Bugs (?) that mate with bumblebees Oranges on apple trees Water comes and water goes Where it ends up no one really knows Water rises, water falls Where it comes from no one knows for sure It seeps from every pore We have seen the rain before Not like this - It's flooding every shore People come and people go I can hear their laughter through the door But no one's keeping score Oranges on apple trees Bugs (?) that mate with bumblebees One big happy family Endless possibilities (yeah and more) Oranges and apple trees I see your face in front of me Can't believe what no one else could see I feel it deep inside of me Everything we love shall be released And everyone will see Oranges on apple trees (for sure) I used to be the only one Not now since you've come You and I have seen the signs That's why the wind died The wind died That's why Oranges on apple trees Birds (?) that mate with bumblebees Endless possibilities (now) Oranges on apple trees All the things that we can see Multi-gender wannabes (?!!!!) Oranges on apple trees Bugs (?) that mate with bumblebees One big happy family Endless possibilities (yeah yeah yeah) Oranges on apple trees (for sure) 9. A Little Bit And it will take a little bit of extra time To make it shine, to make it shine And it will take a little bit of extra care To bring it where you think it's there And there's no one else around This is what I've found Anyone you see Anyone you meet Some one at your feet Anyone could be that one Anyone you know Anywhere you go Some one in a show Could be that one And it will take a little bit of all you've got To get a shot, get a shot And it will take a little bit of extra care To bring it where you think it's there And there's nowhere else to go This is what I know Anyone you see Anyone you meet Maybe down the street Anyone could be that one Everywhere you look Pages of a book All the years it took Everything got you down And it will take a little while to get back home The road is long, the road is long And it will take a little work to get it back To mend the cracks, to bridge the gaps Anyone you see Could be the one Anyone you meet Could be that one Some one at your feet Could feel the same Maybe you'd complete Could share your name Anywhere you look Pages of a book Everything she took Never let it keep you down Holding out for used Broken up and bruised Losable to lose (?) Anywhere you go Anyone you know Think it doesn't show Everybody knows Anyone you meet Maybe down the street (And it will take a little time to get back home) Some one at you feet 10. Less Than Pure We're going to go downtown I hear this great new place has opened up And when we get there I don't know It's taken ages Don't you know How long how long Will this go on How long how long Time drags on How long I find I can't go on much longer now But the place in question's hard to find Not a cab ride to the door As you wonder in your doubtful mind Is it really worth all that and more We seem to be a little lost or something I'm not really sure about the choice we're making The toil it's taking on (or toll it's taken on?) How long how long Will this go on How long how long The time drags on How long I find I can't go on much longer now But the place in question's hard to find Like an illness with no cure And our heads are getting wearier And our hearts are less than pure Less than pure How long I find I can't go on much longer now And the place in question's hard to find Not a cab ride to the door And our heads are getting wearier And our hearts are less than pure 11. Turn the Lights Down Turn the lights on the night is too long Keep yourself warm I'm coming home I cannot help you, you yourself must see Decide now on what you want to be Turn the lights down The lights are too strong When you're down and out just hold on Realize that nothing lasts long We must believe in things we cannot see Everything's alright with me Turn the lights down The lights are too strong I'm coming home I just want to sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive I just want to sleep for a while Turn around the night is still young Keep your lights on I'm coming home You must decide now when (where?) you want to be You're the one who said to me Realize that nothing lasts long I'm coming home I just want to sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive So easy to look at the (????) Hard to (?????) when you care Impossible now to go back to where we began I just want to sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive I just want to sleep by your side I just want to sleep through the night 12. Cannot Hide Can you see me baby Standing in the light I feel your cat's eyes on me Faster (?) in the night I move inside Got those eyes Something's burning baby That's alright You and I Here tonight Meet me on the other side 'Cause you can do me right Take me where I cannot hide 'Cause you can do me right Meet me on the other side You don't know me girl I'm faceless in the crowd The things I could show you baby Come on, come onto my cloud I'm alive tonight Something's falling baby You and I Out of the sky I can see it in your eyes Meet me on the other side 'Cause you can do me right Take me where I cannot hide 'Cause you can do me right You need, baby, you're alive (?) 'Cause you can do me right Take me to the other side 'Cause you can do me right Meet me on the other side I speak French today baby. (the French translators will have to take over here) 13. White Canvas Stories are painted In lines on your face Misunderstandings And little mistakes A chance to start over Is all that it takes You know if you do Your life is a canvas The colors are you Follow me out Follow me 'round Let's make the road up as we go along Just as we planned You want to believe it You know that it's true Your life is a canvas The colors are you You cannot erase them The words that were said Just paint them over Inside of your head All that is needed You know you must make One leap of faith Everything else will fall into place Follow me out Follow me 'round Let's make it up and go back To where it began All that is needed Is one leap of faith Everything else will fall into place Anywhere you'll ever go Everyone you'll ever know You may never find it Everyone you'll ever see Anyone you choose to be How you look will decide How you look will decide what you see Follow the moon Follow the sun Let's make a deal this time To stay with the plan All that is needed is one leap of faith Everything else will fall into place Everything else will fall into place Stories are painted In the lines of your face 14. Dragonfly I will never let you down I will always be around In the time we are here We'll see love disappear Don't ask how Don't ask why Just fly, dragonfly Just fly, dragonfly I will never bring you down I will always stick around I will heat you when you're cold In the time we have left We'll raise eyes to the sky Don't ask how Don't ask why Just fly, dragonfly Just fly, dragonfly Don't ask how Don't ask why Just fly, dragonfly Just fly, fly, fly dragonfly 15. Solace Some sign of forgiveness Some form of release Is all that she asks for Is all that she needs She waits for the day when She feels more at ease Some time to be careful Some time left in peace Cold stars of the future Burn bright in the past These moments of solace They won't last They don't last You're wasting the moment Biding your time No one got ahead Standing in line So something is over Before it's begun So close you can taste it But now it is gone Cold stars of the future Burn bright in the past These moments of solace They don't last The cannot last You're hoping for solace Well, just look around Everyone here is Standing in line
