The Same Mistake
Now you could let your hair down for a while
and amaze me with the words you can find
while we are spending our time together
Why are you leaving, my friend?
Why are you trying to walk out again?
What's wrong inside your house?
What keeps you moving on?
Because what you are trying
it all might be just the same mistake
and what you're gonna find are the unkept promises you made
just the same mistake
Why are you praying again
waiting for answers you might never find?
and now you're stealing the light from the doorway
and 'though the road ahead may be winding
we can light up a torch to see the way
we'll fight the wolves that we will surely find
Because what we are trying
it all might be just the same mistake
and what we're gonna find are the unkept promises we made
well it's just the same mistake
and when you'll turn back to look at the view
and I'll watch your hair with the reflections of the moon
I'll find another word to tell you I love you
because what I am trying it all might be just the same mistake
and what I'm gonna find are the unkept promises I made
oh, well it's just the same mistake
just the same mistake

Girl From The City By The Sea
If you're traveling to the city I was born
you might find a girl that I'd once known
still see her dark hair, it blows my mind
she once was a true love of mine
She told me words that I loved to hear
hearing her voice made it so very clear
but she was farther than I could think
though I knew she was the love I've always wished I could find
Tell her I miss her and tell her I'm gone
for all the reasons that she had been told
and in this life I'm still traveling on
hoping to find somewhere my way home
Keep watching her to remember her face
just to describe her to me perfectly
or maybe I should remember her young
when she was that true love of mine
And please just stop thinking about the ol' days
when every good thing would never go away
'cause in this night there's not much left to say
and our life couldn't work out any other way
Tell her I miss her and tell her I'm gone
for all the reasons that she had been told
and in this night I'm still wandering on
hoping to find somewhere my way home

Love Her Like The Morning
Well your kid, she's got the answers to all of our pains
cause she's deep and she's so young and true
and I love her like the morning while I'm waking up
with the sound of these birds and with you
When she tells me all her stories
she makes me feel like I'm ten too
and I love her like the morning
like the morning when I first met you
Now she's growing up so fast and I'm always amazed
by the words that come straight from her heart
and I'm left dumb without answers
while my chest now burns
with all the righteous things that she does
When she tells me all her wishes
I can feel some more hope too
and I love her like the morning
like the morning when the sun revealed the truth
And she can run so fast with her thin legs
and her scars look so nice on her knees
and a morning will come, she'll be older
oh we will be older too...
And I love her like the morning because she's the day
when peace will rule all people's hearts
her honesty and her goodness are just free for all
every kid is just an open door
And she tells me all her jokes now
and I'm laughing although I don't know
how can she be so special
like the morning when I said that I loved you
like the morning when I said that I loved you

This Thunder
This thunder is reminding us
that we'll see each other at the end
to stop all this poison from dripping in
the water that our kids will drink
and if your love is lost
try to go and find your fears
'cause when your love is lost I will be staying here
I will be staying here
This thunder is reminding us
but I know we'll beat it in the end
those foxes and those great grey owls
on the pitch black woods we're walking in
and if your love is lost
try to go and fight your fears
'cause when your love is lost I will be staying here
no, I will be staying here
but as you know, my love
we can't deal with your fears
so go bury them outside, don't let them be near
and if your love is lost
try to go and fight your fears
'cause when your love is lost I will be staying here
I will be staying here
I will be staying here
I will be staying here
I will be staying here

Down To The Ground
What is it you're doing when you're breaking up my soul?
What is it i'm thinking when I let it all crash down?
it's all coming down to the ground
it's all coming down to the ground
These tears will keep on falling
these promises will never be kept
this house we're never finding
this family that we'll never have
it's all coming down to the ground
it's all coming down to the ground
The world our parents fought for
and the things that they achieved
the hopes and prayers they said
for you and me to kill
they're all coming down to the ground
they're all coming down to the ground
And I'll tell you someday that I knew who you looked like
when I was so in love with you
and I'll tell you someday how it all will just die
crucifying me and you
The echoes of her laughters and the way she clears her throat
the sun shines through her hair while I'm questioning the moon
now she's coming down to the ground
she's coming down to the ground
The habit that I tear down hoping just to see your face
a walk in a garden where you used to play
it's all coming down to the ground
it's all coming down to the ground
And now she's lost in her thoughts walking her way home
and I'm stuck beside her wishing the world could stop
we're all coming down to the ground
And I'll tell you someday that I knew who you looked like
when I was so in love with you
and I'll tell you someday how it all will just die
crucifying me and you
crucifying me and you
crucifying me and you
crucifying me and you

A Softer Skin
If I could go where the cold and lonely wind blows
and take your fearless eyes with me
like a lantern
to guide me through the valleys of your worried dreams
the ones I used to break
If you were to see
all the colors glowing in the shadows of you and me
another sunny sky
and every harvest
that feeds the little lies inside the promises we made
the ones we used to break
I love you
there's nothing else that I would rather do
I want you
and all of your defeats just to get a softer skin
