You--
you got your head inside a rainy cloud of gloom
It's true
the mask you wear is cracking over you
You don't have to be on defense
I just want to help you make sense of everything
that's eating you
I can help but you don't want to let me in
I don't wanna see you sad
Baby
I'm here for you but you just gotta let me in
I've never seen you so sad
Baby
You--
Just let it out and share what's going on
It's true
Together we can work this out I'm sure
I can help but you don't want to let me in
I don't wanna see you sad
Baby
I'm here for you but you just gotta let me in
I've never seen you so sad
Baby

You remember the night we met?
It was like coming home
I was weird and nervous
You were nervous too
Later on that same night
we were holding hands
Our hearts were melding together
Rest is history (or so I thought)
Words can’t reach you anymore
I’m banging my head against your door
“Open sesame” did not work
I gotta find the magic word to your heart
All you do is shut me out
I’m tired of doing my part
I know why you shut me out
Why you pull down the blinds
I’ve been a fool
I can’t deny
I’ve said how sorry I am
I’ve tried to change
If you’re looking for the perfect guy
Maybe you should look another way
“Open sesame” did not work
I gotta find the magic word to your heart
All you do is shut me out
I’m tired of doing my part
All you do is shut me out
I’m tired of doing my part

A wounded soul
A human wreck
I haven’t played with a full deck
Ever since they took my cards away
They took the cards I played
Lost the words
Lost the moves
In my head the silent man was born
Now I’d rather play alone
So please excuse me if I don’t dance with you
I know you think I must
Please excuse me if I hold on to you
It takes a long long time to build that trust
I took one step
I took the blame
In this game got pushed right off the rails
So I gently walked on nails
A wounded soul
A human wreck
On goes the trek
I’m slowly moving on
Though the pain is never gone
So please excuse me if I don’t dance with you
I know you think I must
Please excuse me if I hold on to you
It takes a long long long long time…
to build that trust

I remember lover talk to me
Saying ”you and I were meant to be”
I will never see ..
I will never be ..
another destiny
Now the talk is at a different tune
Something's burning and I smell the fumes
I will play my part
I will lock my heart
from another destiny
We were riding on the wave
But you got scared and now you're trying to run away
Flowers wither and decay
Who am I to judge the choices that you've made
It's no use to rein a dead horse to this dream
Saying so doesn't make it so
It's not made manifest, it's sometimes hard to see
And riddled with ambiguity

Best Time (feat. Soul)
04:45
|
|||
Crashing through the fence in an old car hurricane
too bad about the timber but at least we're both OK
Played out our rivalries just like a movie scene
You and I made sure that the bad guys never win
It was the best time
Best time of our lives
Being careless in the golden summer’s breast
Best time
Best time of our lives
Sweet childhood mischief I know I’ll never forget
Recorded our stories on cheap cassettes
Now I wish I kept them, so I could hear your voice again
Best time
Best time of our lives
Sweet childhood mischief I hope to never forget
But your daddy was drinking
and your mommy was screaming
and she moved away with the kids
That was the end of our best time
The first glimpse of adult life
Moves us away from being kids
There’s always someone drinking
There’s always someone screaming
It changes how we are as kids

Closer closer, hold me closer
Heartbeat, heartbeat, feel my heartbeat
Tonight you're all mine
Hold me, touch me, pull me closer
Make this moment last forever
Tonight you're all I got
Move me – don't wound me
You can see me
just the way I am
My defenses are down
You can do what you want
Bring me closer, closer to your heart

The Plan

Hey now, little Venus, it’s always nice to see
The trip was nice, just me and the guys
It’s hard to read if she’s on to me
I’m to scared to open my eyes
Calculated moves – words play the ruse
I hope your eyes won’t pierce my disguise
Neatly chosen words will lubricate my verbs
Just relax – I’m doing fine
Underrated
I’ve awaited
It’s all building up and it’s moving faster
Undiscovered
The plan is followed
It’s all in the life of a has-been hustler

ね、覚えてる?
小金井公園のあの夜
戻って来て
二人のシークレットキースは
ミスじゃないよ
散ってしまった桜のように消えたんだ
私に戻って来て
お願い
Hey, do you remember?
That night at Koganei Park
Come back
Our secret kiss
It is not a mistake
Disappeared like the fallen cherry blossom
Come back to me
Please
(Japanese translation by Yuuko)

You lay with your final breaths
Please be my guide
In the land of the nearly dead
There’s nothing to hide
You lay with your final breaths
Please be my guide
In the land of the nearly dead
There’s nothing to cry
Wait for another way
Stay for another day
Provide us some other pain
Fight for just some more fame

Deepest freeze is coming over me
Seconds tick oh so anxiously
Kiss me now, hold me now
Tell me it will be better somehow
I promise you, my word is true
I will remember
Somehow, even now
You hold back my crystal tears
You gave me my greatest years
Somehow, the reasons why
Don't add up, it's hard to say goodbye
Here come the crystal tears
Summer breeze washing over me
Find myself in distant memories
Bright as day, I hear you say
Baby, you always found a way
Through the years, and through the tears
I will remember you
Somehow, even now
You hold back my crystal tears
You gave me my greatest years
Somehow, the reasons why
Don't add up, and I’m still saying goodbye
To crystal tears

I see you going at it
I thought we had it
Oh no, again you reneg it
We’re back to one
I was ready for some changes
Lord knows I could take it
Oh yes, I’m gonna find my way out
Just not tonight
Push and pull
The circle gets smaller
Reaching in
We never get closer
I’m telling you now
We’re running out of time
It’s getting old how
We keep missing each other
Push and pull
The circle gets smaller
Sparks come alive
But fire dies to nothing
I’m telling you now
We’re running out of time
It’s getting old how
We’re getting old now
