[Album] Lightspeed - 2010

In Your Arms

Slowly I take the fall
The city lights don’t comfort me at all
Show me can you recall
What got me climbing up the walls
I’m out of patience
I’m still waiting on
A brand new break of dawn

Now we’re going underground
And my hands are shaking
I can’t believe we’re going down
I can hear the sirens sound
From way too far
And I’m dying in your arms

If only my thoughts were real
I could go back but time is standing still
In this scene the frames show
I’m losing track and wait ‘till there’s no
Heartbeat left to take me back to you

If only I could ever change what’s been done
Make it last forever, oh it keeps me warm
I know that I could never stay in your arms



Burn

Someday when daylight turns its back on me
And words turn to lies
Will I see through your eyes
And halfway our sins and sorrows turned to grey
To what we both despise
This is how it all dies
So trapped in paralyzing
Till you wake and realize
It gets you through the night

You can burn all cities down but you can’t stop me
Turn my insides out and get a getaway
And I never will deny that you’re the fuel to my fire
Burn me to the ground but you won’t stop me

Right here I’m wide awake in twilight
Your shadow turns to dust
Like a thief in the night
So trapped in paralyzing
Till you wake ‘n realize it yeah
It gets you through the night
Take all that’s left cause

So did we end up here tonight
Lost ourselves with open eyes
If we cannot take this leap
We’re a promise we can’t keep
We will never make it out alive




Where Are You Now

When it’s dark, a melody
In my mind that’s slowly whispering your name
I turn a blind eye
To a spark, a memory
When you lit the sky and left me like a flame
Before we said goodbye

And the rain keeps falling
Can you hear me calling
With every minute now the memories of you are fading
It leaves me with a question
Where are you now

I’ve gone miles all around
Saw a hundred different places that I
Didn’t think I’d ever go
It wasn’t long before I found
That you covered up your traces in reply
Now I’m sure I’ll never know

Tell me are you far from me
Give me just one clue on where I should be
The one and only chance to show me where to begin

And the rain keeps falling
Can you hear me calling
With every second now the memory of you is fading
It leaves me with a question
Where are you now




Forget About Me

Baby did you stay home
Oh tell me everything’s alright
Tried to catch you on the payphone
Now I’m looking for some peace of mind
And it’s so not fair not fair
‘Cause I see you ‘round ‘round nowhere
I said anyone but me
It’s time for a living
It’s time to turn home

Only in this moment
Oh gimme just a second
I take another breath and look the other way
Forget about me
You’ll see me around another day

She’ll end up mad and alone
He won’t be knocking at her door
Oh it scares her to the bone
But she still keeps coming back for more
And it’s so not necessary
But is now so ordinary
I said anyone but me
It’s time to get a living
You know it’s running late
It’s time to change
To turn back home

As the sun calls it a day
Our guilt is closing in
You know it’s running late
There’s time to change
To turn back home





Sinking Sand

I see you run
Run as fast you can now
It’s getting harder and you’re outta time
‘Cause you know
I’ve been gasping for air
I’m weak at the knees and we both know why
Oh don’t wait or you will be the first to go
So leave me here behind

And sinking sand keeps pulling me in too deep
It might be best for you to pass me by
I’d safely bet to wait for your company
So don’t you save me now, no not this time

So hold me down
‘Cause the water is rising
It’s getting harder now to turn the tide
I can scream
From the top of my lungs
I can scream for safety nets and good advice
Oh don’t wait or you will be the last to know
So please leave me here behind




California Summer

Morning comes with quite a sound
As the city’s sleeping the record plays so loud
A distant voice rings in my ear
About a place that’s far from here
With every single step everytime I know where I’m going to
And every single mile will bring me closer to you

Don’t tell me it’s over
Let me come back California summer
Where the nights are long ‘till the morning comes with devastating heat
Let’s take back California summer
If you wanna come with me

When morning comes I will be there
As the city’s waking I will breathe the air
A distant voice is fading out
Be careful what you wish for now
Maybe all along the only reason was you

Don’t tell me it’s over
Let me come back California summer
With the storylines and stereotypes from random movies
Let’s take back California summer
If you wanna come with me

And again I dive right in
I’m closing in
I’m done waiting
We don’t need a heavy heart tonight
Trying to resist with all our might
We don’t need to finally get it right
It’s overdue
