Winter In Berlin
03:46

Feeling free on the highway headed south on the A9
Driving with the windows down and the stereo is up high
After the dark times, the city is coming back to life, to life, to life
I’m out on the road again and I‘m feeling so at home
I never felt a freedom like when I’m on the open road
Pullin up to get gas and I swear I’ve been here before, before, before
I will always dream about the winter in Berlin
I feel the city getting colder
And the snow upon my skin, now I’m
On the Champs-Élysées
Sipping on rosé
Thinking ‘bout where I’ve been
And I can’t wait for this next life to begin
Oooohhhhh Ooooohhhh
Swimming in Lake Geneva to the shores of the Baltic Sea
Coffee in Vienna to the golden arches in Nancy
Down to my last week, then this will all just be a dream, a dream, a dream
Driving through the mountains headed down to Brunico
Dinner in Verona that’s where I found my Romeo
People and places I’ll take them with me when I go, I go, I go
I will always dream about the winter in Berlin
I feel the city getting colder
And the snow upon my skin, now I’m
On the Champs-Élysées
Sipping on rosé
Thinking ‘bout where I’ve been
And I can’t wait for this next life to begin
Oooohhhhh Ooooohhhh
I spoke to a man before he passed
He said his life had gone too fast
And if he had just once more chance
He’d change it all to
Do the things he’d always dreamt
Live a life with no regret
Every word that this man said
I won’t forget
Sitting round the table singing songs by candlelight and I
Wonder in which language I will raise my glass tonight
Got a bottle of wine, new friends good times
Don’t wanna have to say goodbye
But in this moment let us cheers to this good life
I will always dream about the winter in Berlin
I feel the city getting colder
And the snow upon my skin
I’m on the Champs-Élysées
Sipping on rosé
Thinking ‘bout where I’ve been
And I can’t wait for this next life to begin
Oooohhhhh Ooooohhhh
Oooohhhhh Ooooohhhh

Every morning you’d wake up before me
And you’d use your time to do something for me
And I take my coffee black
You wrote me letters and learned all my songs
I should have never said you were wrong
When you told me you had my back
But I’ve got too much heart to squeeze into one song
And I’ve got too much right to be wrong
I’ve got too much love to share around one town
I’ve got too much up to get me down
I got what I wanted, my whole world has changed
Now that I’ve got it, I don’t feel the same
As I did the day I let you go
Don’t want a broken heart, but I’m used to the sound, and
Self sabotage is easier now
It’s the hundredth time around
But I’ve got too much heart to squeeze into one song
And I’ve got too much right to be wrong
I’ve got too much love to share around one town
I’ve got too much up to get me down
I’m just so scared of how foolish I can be
All my mistakes are part of me
And I’ll use them to set me free
Cos I’ve got too much heart to squeeze into one song
And I’ve got too much right to be wrong
I’ve got too much love to share around one town
I’ve got too much up to get me down
I’ve got too much up to get me down

Bleeding Dry
03:42
|

If I gave you my love
Just to brighten your day
Would you hold onto it
Or would you throw it away
Sometimes it’s hard
To understand what you say
Keep me guessing
Through the night and day
I don’t have crystal vision
Wondering what I’m missing
I give myself permission to cry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
I give you my love
And energy
What more could you
Possibly want from me
I’m worth more than
What you’re giving to me
My love won’t wait
For you for centuries
I don’t have crystal vision
Wondering what I’m missing
I give myself permission to cry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
All night long
Thinking about the day to come
Hoping I’ll be strong
I don’t know
How much more that I can take
Please tell me that you’ll change
Tell me that you’ll change
I don’t have crystal vision
Wondering what I’m missing
I give myself permission to cry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
Cause I’m bleeding dry
Cause I’m bleeding dry

Slip Away
02:53
|
|||
|
Cause I’ve felt heartbreak before
But it’s not like this
No I am grieving, oh I am grieving
And I cannot be sure if I’ll get through this
And I’m not sleeping, I’m not sleeping
What we had, what we lost
All we dreamed of that never was
I hear your voice from down the hall
I miss the days we fell in love
And I know I gotta lose you from my life
But I never want to lose you from my heart
Don’t you ever slip away from me
Don’t you ever slip away from me
Had all those cool souvenirs
From here and there
Guess you can keep em, I guess you can keep em
And the bracelet you gave me that I still wear
It keeps you with me, it keeps you with me
In the basement underground, up above the sun was out
We were cycling through Berlin I couldn’t wait to hear you sing
And I know I gotta lose you from my life
But I never want to lose you from my heart
Don’t you ever slip away from me
Don’t you ever slip away from me
And I never had a love like this before
I know that it ain’t working anymore
But don’t you ever slip away from me
Don’t you ever slip away from me
Waking up alone again
I can always feel your warmth
Next to me
I don’t know where we went wrong
We had it so good for so long
I don’t know just where we lost it babe
But it’s not here anymore
And I know I gotta lose you from my life
But I never want to lose you from my heart
Don’t you ever slip away from me
Don’t you ever slip away from me
And I never had a love like this before
And I’m sorry it ain’t working anymore
But don’t you ever slip away from me
Don’t you ever slip away from me

Everywhere I Go
03:56
|
|||
|
Dark roads with the cobblestones, oh
Beneath the yellow lights I saw the city as she glows and it was
A new moon that had come too soon
Time was swinging back and forth like doors of a saloon
And I thought
Everywhere I go this darkness grows
I want to trust this feeling burning in my soul
But no matter what I do this just ain’t right
Maybe to turn around is the only way forward
Tonight, night, night
Maybe to turn around is the only way forward tonight
Burning sun on the red sand, oh
This road could wind forever through this forgotten land
But if I turn back now will it be too late?
Lost in the desert as the sun begins to fade and I thought
Everywhere I go this darkness grows
I want to trust this feeling burning in my soul
But no matter what I do this just ain’t right
Maybe to turn around is the only way forward
Tonight, night, night
Maybe to turn around is the only way forward
Every year in the spring
Cherry trees line Berlin
It’s the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen
But then they’re gone again just like they’ve never been
Never been
In the spring they come and go just like they’ve never been never been
in the spring they come and go just like they’ve never been never been
in the spring they come and go just like they’ve never been never been
Never been
Everywhere I go this darkness grows
I want to trust this feeling burning in my soul
But no matter what I do this just ain’t right
Maybe to turn around is the only way forward
Tonight, night, night
Maybe to turn around is the only way forward tonight

Start a War
02:57
|
|||
|
I got all the time in the world but I get nothing done
The sun shines through the window and my coffee’s cold
Why can’t I stay in some old place
In a memory of better days
They’re further and further away
Talk to me babe do you really want to start a war
Can you tell me what you’re fighting for
Because I don’t know
I feel so afraid I can hear it coming through the wall
I had a feeling like this before
But when, I don’t know
Time has lost all meaning every day’s the same
Present past and future makes no sense
I’m longing for a time gone by that I will never know again
Places and lovers and friends
Talk to me babe do you really want to start a war
Can you tell me what you’re fighting for
Because I don’t know
I feel so afraid I can hear it coming through the wall
I had a feeling like this before
But when, I don’t know
Thinking bout that same old place
Where I was never happy anyway
Don’t know why it stayed with me
But I’m happy in that memory
Thinking bout that same old place
Where I was never happy anyway
Don’t know why it stayed with me
But I’m happy in that memory
Talk to me babe do you really want to start a war
Can you tell me what you’re fighting for
Because I don’t know
I feel so afraid I can hear it coming through the wall
I had a feeling like this before
But when, I don’t know

Song for Laura
03:22

When the night goes forever and the road feels too long
I know we will stand together and I know we will be strong
With our hearts full of love despite all the pain
Because although the past has shaped us, in the past it shall remain
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger they say but if you
Break down and cry once in a while well that’s ok too
And we’ve been through the highs and lows and I’d do it all again
I won’t forget you my sweetest friend
I won’t forget you my sweetest friend
Oh Monday nights and the King Kong it brought me out of the funk I was in
When the lights went out for the last time it was a sad day in Berlin
And it’s kinda weird that after 8 years I can barely find a photo of us
But in my heart I can remember at least a hundred thousand laughs
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger they say but if you
Break down and cry once in a while well that’s ok too
And we’ve been through the highs and lows oh we’ll do it all again
I won’t forget you my sweetest friend
I won’t forget you my sweetest friend
And we’re looking over the canal and the sun is shining down
Weird and wonderful the people in this crazy town
But even when it’s cold and mean, there’s no place I’d rather be
And it just wouldn’t be the same without you
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger they say but if you
Break down and cry once in a while well that’s ok too
And we’ve been through the highs and lows oh we’ll do it all again
I won’t forget you my sweetest friend
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger they say but if you
Break down and cry once in a while well that’s ok too
And we’ve been through the highs and lows oh we’ll do it all again
I won’t forget you my sweetest friend
I won’t forget you my sweetest friend

Brandenburg Gate
04:19
|
|||
|
I spend my days all around the places where
Where we made the choice
And every corner’s like a sign of torture yeah
I see your face and hear your voice
Sit on the train I stare out the window pane
And I remember how you hate all the pictures of the Brandenburg Gate
And how they don’t look the same
No they don’t quite look the same
Stay together or fall apart
Things got worse but they never got bad
Thinking up reasons, anything that we had to
Stay together
Cause we just fell apart
Things got better but they never got good
Holding onto reasons, anything that we could to stay together
It’s coming near dusk and I’ve just finished busking
Down by the Berlin wall
It’s incomprehensible to think that this is my town now
When it used to be yours
Sit on the train I stare out the window pane
But I just can’t see past all the little tiny stickers on the glass
That you used to complain
Don’t quite look the same
Stay together or fall apart
Things got worse but they never got bad
Thinking up reasons, anything that we had to
Stay together
Cause we just fell apart
Things got better but they never got good
Holding onto reasons, anything that we could to stay together
Cause I know you know
That you never thought twice about leaving
I know you know that ‘never’ is a word that you believe in
And I might never understand
So enjoy yourself… in never never land
Stay together or fall apart
Things got worse but they never got bad
Thinking up reasons, anything that we had to
Stay together
Cause we just fell apart
Things got better but they never got good
Holding onto reasons, anything that we could
