Niamh

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: PH Petersson, J Falmer)

never mean for anything
to bend around its shape
keeping what is there for you
isn't easy at all

you cant give yourself that look
that turns life into nine
hours of daring to let go and
not be scandinavian any - more

So (now) you raised the question
a thousand miles from home
bringing to attention
(just) what you're striving for
(wherein your heart thus go)

but what good is an answer
when the ice is slowly cracking
are you strong enough to lift up
the remains of today
(first step taken)

if you leave these shallow waters
you're almost on your own
no more safe dilutions
accept for what you've now become
(someone's pain and love)

it leaves you here
where life begins again
without the one who chose
you for what you are

nothing left
or is it now
at last that life begins
never tears
nor lament
from the haven
of discontent
to your life
I levitate
You just imagine
I never left

and now you wait
for one short line
that you think you need
but won't come near
if all is for real
then you will know now
the dedication it takes
 

M

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: PH Petersson)

so as it comes
to an end all he has
ever said or done
now matters less
serious in all
not light and tall

and what you do is not the answer
to someone else it doesn't matter

in your eyes again
(all the time)
to the sound of the underground

in your mind again
(all the time)
It stays in your head
This time for good

when you opened your arms
you are
the reason for his life

and how you do it is not the answer
to a certain someone it never mattered

in your eyes again
(all the time)
to the sound of the underground

in your mind again
(all the time)
It stays in your head
This time for good
 

How are we doing today

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: J Palmqvist)

sister. if this is true
staple the words
on every post
then who can you
blame today
when floor's all gone
walls are torn
sweetest path and
life moves on

let yourself go in a high-mind motion
and detect what you did from the moment it swelled
It will fall back like a low pitch string
revealing the faithless fake you are

finally so from this haven
in retrospect life began
so content
you never left

Hello Hello - you're still around, you say?
Walking like you never hurt us
Hello Hello - How are we doing today?
Asking you again and again

I know you are - something I can't be
feverish and failing again
Hello Hello - How are we doing today?
leave and never turn

just leave and never turn around
 

Be alone together

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: PH Petersson)

Now we've come to the end of the line
Does it matter, where you're from?
Why do I act like I don't care
Every time I see you
I never meant to stare but I thought somehow
You always knew

You have to be strong enough to save me
Do remember she said who
So do you then have faith enough to leave me
And where I am when you leave

Can't they see I'm already a ghost
Feel nothing that's what I hate the most
Don'tmean to be afraid
Of what I intend to do
Just a minor passing in the larger world we know
Just a minor passing in the larger world we know

You have to be strong enough to save me
We seem one thing forlorn
So do you then have faith enough to leave me
We've sworn not to surrender

You have to be strong enough to save me
We belong together will
So do you then have faith enough to leave me
We be alone together
 

A million days

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: PH Petersson, J Falmer)

She hopes that you would see
what differs her from you
separated by each day
pretending something far away

Will she ever know
just how close she is
from breaking down
the walls you build

But you have to say you don’t believe in whichever face
that she brings
to make you feel at ease
all the late night reruns of your life, will stop
when you know
when you know she'll never stay
it set you back a million days

You lived your life head on
To beat every clock every day
Never caught time
deserted orphan left in vain

Now it's all too late
Couldn't see quite how
Too busy then
busy just staying alive

But you have to say you don’t believe in whichever face
that she brings
to make you feel at ease
all the late night reruns of your life, will stop
when you know
when you know she'll never stay
it set you back a million days
 

One world for the next

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: PH Petersson, J Falmer)

No one can sleep in that room
while watching the stars
of hope in name
a princess' sigh
brought radiance here
can it somehow regain
what once they needed in their hearts
without
losing the focus they need
to survive

Tape a second here n' there
flash your camera in the air
get the antidote you never see on TV
If you hide then hide it well
cos you'll never go that last foot
to admit you're ready to change
one world for the next
today

to escape to gain
brings incontestable life
no excuse to say
just move on to save your day
(you) don't need this
just break away
(you) can't feed this
your so far away now
within reach
of arms to hold
you "safely"
 

Three

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: J Palmqvist, PH Petersson)

and she listens like water's in her eyes
not long ago
by dreaming she forged her way herein
to this mess
but where does it end this game?
(anyway)
is it all too late now?

and all the doubts he had will grow
more for every step he takes below
taught by fear to understand
surprised to see an open door

slow steps down the stairs
knowing all along

slow steps down the stairs
hoping you are there

no wonder they all go young
for the end
submit the dismals they need
to release somehow
as long as you keep him close
(you know)
he will also be a memory

and all the doubts he had will grow
more for every step he takes below
taught by fear to understand
surprised to see an open door

slow steps down the stairs
knowing all along

slow steps down the stairs
hoping you are there
 

26

(Lyrics: J Palmqvist | Music: J Palmqvist)

in the harbour of tonight
keeping from the cold
you said it all depends
I fear what tomorrow will bring
More for every word I sing

So far - far from over
Overly exhausted
See so clearly now
Nothing but you on my mind
Slow motion replay
Of my yesterday

Driving the night away - all to soon
Came the light of day
Chased the moon away
That cloud shaped like England
Kills my dream:
- "There is no twin soul"

So far - far from over
Overly exhausted
See so clearly now
Only to see what is
Not for me

You and I
