The window opens I hear the toddling waves
I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates
I would like to leave it all just for a week or two
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, whatever I would see

It's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand
I could be anything but not yours on demand
I would like to leave it all if I only could

In the morning on the train
You sit and stare at the rain
Or bury yourself in your books
Don't look at no strangers
No, don't give them any looks

Why you ask yourself, why you're so afraid
Why you hesitate when someone asks your name

There's something about you
That I'm never going to find out
I want to live that life again
I want to live that life again

The way that you say things
So they sound so right
I want to cross oceans

Will you look at me?
Take a good look at me and tell me who
It is that I am.
This old mirror it is broken,
There's too much drift in the dam.

It's not the world that's spinning as me
I go from nowhere to nowhere searching for the key.

Oh the bitter winds are coming in,
And I’m already missing the summer.
Stockholm's cold but I’ve been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather.
When it’s you I find like a ghost in my mind,
I'm defeated and I gladly wear the crown.

Chorus:

All of these ghost towns I keep travelling through
All of these traffic signs and lonesome bars blind the view
I swear I can be better
I could be more to you
But there are things that line my path
That I just had to do

If you've got visions of the past

So you ask for my opinion
Well what is there to say
To be honest and just foolish
Won't make you wanna stay
You've got to go on and get moving
I can't do that for you
Got so many plans and so much you want to do

I wish I could believe in something bigger
More than these trees, these winds, these oceans
I wish I could believe what they tell me

I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave
We made our goodbyes and now he is settled down in the city
Where he doesn't have to be himself

It's me, it's me, you've come to take
My duality awakes
By midnight time I could not see,
If I were you or you were me

We play the game with skillful hands
And so I asked for your demands
Give me your love, give me your thumb

Lyrics to I Met Up With The King :
I met up with the king
He confessed his body was burning
I met up with the king
His body had begun to rot
And he said don't think less of me
I'm still the same man I used to be

In the hearts of men
In the arms of mothers
In the parts we play to convince others
We know what we're doing
We're doing it right

May have written books on the subject
But then you may still be surprised

In the morning
On your journey to the sea

In the mountains

Your shadows beside me

You crossed the pasture land

I see the animals run past me
You know me better than the wind
Let me open the door for you
You might see the sun
Your little mama and your papa
They'll sing lullabies for you

And the seals are singing jagadamba

At Ten in the morning
I was laughing at something
At the airport terminal
At Nine in the evening
I was sitting crying to you
Over the phone
While passing the border
From one state to another

I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
There’s no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road
Can't worry 'bout what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road

Well it's a new year, with it comes more than new fears.
Met a young man who was in tears, he asked me,
"What induces us to stay here?"
I said, "I don't know much and I'm not lying,
But I think you just have to keep on trying."

And I know I am naive, but if anything
That's what's going to save me

I am in love and I am lost
But I'd rather be
Broken than empty
Oh, I'd rather be
Shattered than hollow
Oh, I'd rather be
By your side

There's some kind of freedom
I am searching for
Sometimes I think it'll turn up
If I just run out the door

But when I think of it
I don't know what it could be
If you find out would you be so kind?

The sun shone high those few summer days
Left us in a soft, wide-eyed haze
It shone like gold
It shone like gold

But just as the moon it shines straight
So dawn goes down today
No gold can stay

Don't place your bets on me
I'm tired and I'm lonely
With nothing to offer you
Nothing to offer you

The pavement stares gray and cold
Our lives are a story told
Coming to an ending

Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
The fact that they've been blindly deceived
By those who preach and pray and teach
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter

But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
About the way your world can alter

[Verse 1]
I could move to a small town
And become a waitress
Say my name was Stacey
And I was figuring things out
See, my baby, he left me
And I don't feel like here tonight

So you come on home, walk through the door.
She's in the kitchen searching through the drawers.
So you stop and watch her and ask what she's looking for.
She says she's not sure.

And it gets late and you turned off the lights.
Her body's so close to you in the night.
But you dare not touch her and you don't wanna fight, so you just say,

take me out
give my chair a rest
and then sweep me in your bare one tonight

all your guests
look at me
as if I were a stranger and
I'm the one

Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing, hey ya hey ya

Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter

Yeah you cooked his dinners
You raised his children and still
He's not satisfied
He says I rather switch with you
You don't now hard it is
To work from 9-5
But he speaks with his eyes closed
And eventhough you're not all alone
