Favourite Shirts

the point from where we start
I feel so touched by your anxiously spoken words
it is true
I miss you
let death never do us part brother
funerals and sadnesses they try
to beat me down, knock me out
hear me
I need you now
to come here and tearmy favourite shirts right into two
do it
I missed you much
stop joking
please stop joking with my heart
nothing ever happens here late at night
since you escaped from the ambulance sirens and flashing lights
oh would you mind staying alive
it all by far not as bad as expected
it all by far not s bad as I feared
a crazy night
I can hardly read
but I try to write
didn't charge my phone oh I forgot to say
that you mean't everything to me
as soon as everything is back on track
I'll send a phone call up to heaven
will you call me back
you told me that you'll be ok
you dirty liar but anyway
I'm so so sure soon there'll be brighter days
I'll kiss all fears out of your face
I'm so so sure soon there'll be brighter days
I'll kiss all fears out of your face

The 21st Century Blues
03:44
|
|||
In these craziest times
things always turn out different ways
I never would have thought
yeah we're still here but anyway
it's hard to put this into words
count your bruises then start a new
we won't surrender until it's done
this is the 21st century blues
she said each chance if properly used
works towards expectations
if only friends were what I had
frustration would be easier to bear
she said and I could feel her tears on my cheeks
and you know
I needed time for myself
good memories come from bad ideas
remind me that
I need more time for you
oh we are in this together whatever forever
In these craziest times
things always turn out different ways
I never would have thought
yeah we survived but anyway
it's hard to put this into words
count your bruises then start a new
we won't surrender until it's done
our naive ideals will never come undone
to learn a product of relationships
are my complaints about disbelief
took me time but doesn't matter
life is just how you go round with it

All tied up
04:08
|
|||
I'm too small
can you catch my thoughts when I cannot catch yours
and I'm alone
I feel lost in the unknown depths of your words
is this what you wanted
is this my way out
thought it's impossible to get much lonelier
thought it's impossible to lose control
and you keep saying that it's
alright, all fine
and as I feel the beat
it makes me fly away
you say you're happy here
but look more and more resentful
I said I hate this town
its weaknesses its comfort
I'm too small
and I'm alone
and you keep saying that it's
alright, all fine
and as I feel your body heat
it makes me fly away
you say you're happy here
but look more and more resentful
I said I love your eyes and your style
it gives me comfort
wherever we are
whatever we'll need
I feel so tied up
we all feel so tied up

stay in touch, stay forever
say kind words
hailing from deep
stay exhausted
it's ok to stay shattered
as soon as you want me to fix you
I'll do anything to build you up
I'll do it all just to build you up
stay in line
stay yet another night
making love
watching films
taking shit
spending our days
at the edge of our graves
it's getting tough
but sometimes it's easy to make me laugh
it's not as hard as you think it's not that hard
another 60 days of learning how to be a man
I failed to be honest
it was bad timing
and useless pillow fights and power naps
it didn't help
said I'll trust you
forever and always
now this sickness
is forcing me to my knees
if no one else does
then I'll move up to Brighton
breathe in the cold air
oh I do love the sea
nap all day
sleep all night
party never
and you'll be alright
you'll be alright
Spent my time
I lost my way
oh I feel so alone
so alone
spent my time
losing my way
my dear it's such a shame that you're not here

Sad & Done
04:01
|
|||
I slowly lost all doubts about
crashing on a stranger's couch
we're not getting through
we're not getting through
panic shouts and fancy dresses
windowless space and
piercing glances
it's not over yet
it's not over yet
take me there
where we once met
I fucking promise I'll be alright
there won't be hospitals nearby
take me there
where we once met
good times come and the bad times go
and I keep going with the flow
in a state of unrest
we're running wild everywhere we go (everywhere we go)
getting better in breaking contracts
my friends and family won't let me go
they won't let me go
so let's be frank and let's be honest
yeah we all know it's all said and done
let's be frank and let's be honest
I said I'm sad and you said you're drunk
take me there
where we once met
the time will heal, the time knows how
how to reveal what we missed out

Alive
02:59
|
|||
I sacrificed all irony
to get your bulletproof words
I'll never let you down
I will always be there
that's easy to say in late-night bars at 4 am
and everything we have built up
means nothing to me anymore
and as my hopes were running dry
I never felt so alive
and I feel so alive
yeah I feel so alive
and everything we have built up
means nothing to me anymore
and everything we were proud of
comes crashing down with every word
I know my money would be spent
better in another way
content your hopes and expectations
better on another day

Boys & Girls
04:34
|

I feel low
I've been running in circles for the past few days of my life
and I'm so so tired
I didn't sleep much
didn't sleep much for a while
and boy meets boy
(and I'm so happy)
girl meets girl
(no need to be sad)
boys meet girls
I'm staying here my heart in hand
it keeps pumping
blood more blood
running through my veins
you have to know I changed loads of plans over the past few days
and I'm so so excited
to see you again after all those years
hear you saying what you've seen in all those years
and I'm so so proud of your voice and your proper words
and the careers we all failed to curse
so let's fall in love for a one last time
before I'm gonna pack my things
and throw them all aside
piss on Freiburg's winter streets
in the middle of the night
before I'm off to a place where I am gonna stay
talked to your dad
moments we shared
you looked so sad
friend be aware that
the times are bad
I moved away
see you next year the only words I fucking promise for today
I do remember every single word you did not say

Cardboard
03:46
|
|||
there is something in the air
is this my young self getting older
between cardboard and despair
there's a tiny gap you can hold on to
it's nothing more and nothing less
come on let's dive deep in the darkness
where it's dark there I will rest
and no one will see
I feel so comfortable in here
business men losing their sense of time
and homeless hearts finding a home
there's not much energy in my body left inside
don't tell me life still feels ok
I'm sorry for you
and a bit for myself
why do sweet relationships
always have to end up in tragedy
and I tried this myself
to finally learn
it's not always so cool to just let your emotions lead your way
this is my routine
so long and goodbye and
there's no doubt indeed
that this got over my head
all I can feel is
your striking distance and
yes I can feel
that this got over my head and
I'm happy for you
and even for myself
it's true that such relationships
are the best thing in the whole wide world
and I found out myself
childhood pics on my shelf
they'll carry me through, they'll carry me through
they'll do

Vienna
03:07
|
|||
woke up far too late again for the summer
what's left is yours
some coffee and misspelled grammar
but we've been here before
I miss the scent
this city and the bright light
come spit it out again
push them back
a wrong verse at the right time
I said a thousand times
I'm out and I'm off
I said a hundred times
giving up is what I like most

I'm a Dreamer (Homesick)
02:58
|
|||
low lives
I'm a dreamer
I fell deep in a hole
and I'm digging deeper day by day
stick to
all those things you believe in
and never fuck with confidence
it only causes lack of tolerance
and I'm wide awake
so wide awake
we are all wide awake
so wide awake
I felt homesick for a first time
I was distressed
but then got over it
as long as the days last longer
I will get thorught this month
and that's just it
enjoy your time
then say goodbye
just say whatever you want
stay in line do the same shit
some years ago you have been told

Dead
03:58
|
|||
I was born down in the south
but this is not what matters and anyhow...
come on let's pour a drink out for
the life I love
and the friends we all lost along the shore
and if I said I'll make landfall
that doesn't mean I'm gonna come back home
if I said I was afraid
that doesn't mean that I won't go my way
and all these dirty same old drugs
do make me tired
and they fuck the body up
and if I said I wouldn't trust myself
would you pick me up again
would you
and if I said that I needed help (I needed help)
would you help me out again
would you
and things slipped slightly out of hands
I'm staying here though I'm too drunk to stand
this is not how it looks like no I'm fine
This is not how it looks like no I'm fine
and I'm too high to stand tall
I'm almost dead though I'm 18 years old
this is not how it looks like no I'm fine
this is not how it looks like no I'm fine
