My Old Ways
So here I am once again, feel no good
I must be out of excuses, I knew I would
Feels like it came out of nowhere this time
Wish I had someone else to blame
I tell myself I'm only human



I know I, I said never again

Temptation feels like it never ends

I'm sliding, powerless as I descend

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again



Thought I would never go back but just this once

A little present for holding out so long

I could not bear the thought of it two days ago

Don't think I would forgive myself



I tell myself I'm only human



I know I, I said never again

Temptation feels like it never ends

I'm sliding, only noticing now and then

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again



I know what's comin', ain't so shockin'

Always fuckin' up to something

Ego strummin', should be stoppin'

Here goes nothing

I know what's coming, ain't so shockin'

Always fuckin' up to something

Story swappin', downhill sloping

Barely coping



I know it's always déjà vu

I know what's coming, ain't so shockin', always fuckin' up to something

Ego strummin', should be stoppin', here goes nothing

I know it don't seem hard to do

I know what's coming, ain't so shockin', always fuckin' up to something

Story swappin', downhill sloping, barely coping

I know it's always déjà vu

I know what's coming, ain't so shockin', always fuckin' up to something

Ego strummin', should be stoppin', here goes nothing

I know it don't seem hard to do

I know what's coming, ain't so shockin', always fuckin' up to something

Story swappin', downhill sloping, barely coping

Back into my old ways again



I know I, I said never again

Temptation feels like it never ends

I'm sliding, powerless as I descend

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again
No Reply
I apologise for the no reply
Wish I could describe what goes on inside
Get these butterflies
Man, they make me tired
I was so uptight and preoccupied
That I did not ask you about your life

And the things you like

How you spend your nights

And your 9 to 5

Are you that surprised?



Oh, no

Oh, no



Was I impolite?

Was that joke alright?

I just want to seem like a normal guy

You know how it's like

Try to see my side

You're a cinephile, I watch Family Guy

On a Friday night, off a rogue website

When I should be out with some friends of mine

Runnin' reckless wild in the streets at night

Singin' "Life, oh life," with our arms out wide



Oh, no

Oh, no



'Cause you know

One in a million ain't my luck

I know my stories don't line up

If you're still making your mind up

There is still hope, you know



I'll try

To do it right

Every time

You and I



Well, you know

Well, you know
Dracula
The morning light is turning blue, the feeling is bizarre
The night is almost over, I still don't know where you are
The shadows, yeah, they keep me pretty like a movie star
Daylight makes me feel like Dracula
In the end I hope it's you and me

In the darkness I would never leave

You won't ever see me in the light of day

It's far too late

The time has come



I'm on the verge of caving in, I run back to the dark

Now I'm Mr. Charisma, fucking Pablo Escobar

My friends are saying "Shut up, Kevin, just get in the car"

I just wanna be right where you are

Oh, my love



In the end I hope it's you and me

In the darkness I would never leave

We both saw this moment coming from afar

Now here we are



Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Isn't the view spectacular?



But please

Do you think about what it might mean?

'Cause I dream about you in my sleep

Would you ever love someone like me?

Like me?



In the end I hope it's you and me

In the darkness I would never leave

We both saw this moment coming from afar

Now here we are



So run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Isn't the view spectacular?

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Isn't the view spectacular?

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Run from the sunlight, Dracula

Isn't the view spectacular?
Loser
I had to tell ya, it's now or never
So much for closure, I lost composure
I get the message, I learned my lesson
Tried to correct it, I think I wrecked it
Man, it's a crisis, I'm never like this
That's how my life is, you couldn't write this



I'm a loser, babe

Do you wanna tear my heart out?

I'm a tragedy

Tryin' to figure this whole mess out



I'm out of favor, my worst behavior

I get the message, I learned my lesson

Desperate times call for desperate measures

I fell into ya, I fell into ya

Tried to correct it, well shit, I wrecked it



I'm a loser, babe

Do you wanna tear my heart out?

I'm a tragedy

Tryin' to figure my whole life out



I leave alone and

Dark streets I roam in

Night air, I breathe in

The stars I believe in



I don't know why I didn't fight it

I probably tried and magnified it

I cannot lie, I feel defeated

Take it as a sign, you're badly needed

You're badly needed

Badly wanted

Fuck
Oblivion
It won't stay the same
In a normal life, I want to
It won't stay the same
In a normal life, I want to
You're so far away, endlessly I tried to reach you

'Cause if I make it through, my love, in the morning light, I'm with you

It won't stay the same, in a normal life, I want to

If it cannot be with you, then I'm glad I told you



But if there was chance in hell



I would

I would

I would

I would



When I saw your face, I was hypnotized, baby

I could see my future, never yearned for love so deeply

Will it be okay? Will you feel the life we live on?

If I don't get to you, my love, then I choose oblivion (Then I choose oblivion)



I would

I would

I would (If I never get to you)

I would (I'm going to oblivion)



I'm going to oblivion

If I never get to you

That's what I wanna do (Wanna do)

That's what I wanna do

That's what I wanna do



It won't stay the same

In a normal life, I want to

It won't stay the same

In a normal life, I want to



I would

I would

I would (If I never get to you)

I would (I'm going to oblivion)

I would (Oblivion)

I would (Oblivion)

I would (If I never get to you)

I would (I'm going to oblivion)

I would (Oblivion)

I would (If I never get to you)

I would (I'm going to oblivion)
Not My World
Walking down the street
I'm floating
Always go the long way
Give the day some meaning
From my window
It looks perfect from a distance

Oh, I want to be there

Need to get away as soon as I am

Oh, I can't stand

Oh, I can't stand

Day after day

Waking just in time to catch the last hours of sunlight

People going home, they walk by

Must be nice

Must be nice

Makes me realise

It's not my world

It's not my world



It's not my world

It's not my world
Piece Of Heaven
This room is a shambles
But I think it's fine
To you it's untidy, maybe
To me it's divine
Now I'm in your bedroom
It's a small piece of heaven

I find myself in



Forever and ever

Or never again

Don't know if I'll be here, baby

I guess that depends

'Cause I'm in your bedroom

It's a small piece of heaven

All around me



Now there is a whole world

Going on out there

Whatever I'm missing out on

In here I don't care

'Cause I'm in your bedroom

Now I'm your possession



No, I don't believe my eyes (I'm in your bedroom)

No, I don't believe my eyes (A small piece of heaven)



No, I don't believe my eyes (I'm in your bedroom)

Don't believe my eyes (A small piece of heaven)



No, I don't believe my eyes

Forever and ever (I'm in your bedroom)

No, I don't believe my eyes (A small piece of heaven)



It won't make a difference

You can lie all your life

It won't make a difference

You can try all your life

It won't make a difference

You can lie all your life

It won't make a difference

You can try all your life

It won't make a difference

You can lie all your life

It won't make a difference
Obsolete
Talk is cheap, but the words cut deep
Promises get old, they get hard to keep
Tell me, please, 'cause I'm losing sleep
Do you want my love? Is it obsolete?
Always was so easy hanging out

But it sure doesn't feel like that now

I know that you have been feeling rough

Or are you falling out of love?



Talk is cheap, but the words cut deep

Promises get old, they get hard to keep



Tell it to me straight, don't tell me lies

Believe when I say I'll be alright

'Cause I'm already talking like it's done

Saying things like, "At least we had some fun"

And things like, "I guess we met too young"



But the words cut deep

Promises get old, they get hard to keep

Tell me, please, 'cause I'm losing sleep

Do you want my love? Is it obsolete?



Jealousy lurking underneath

It's a warning sign that you never see

Tell me, please, tell me honestly

Do you want my love? Is it obsolete?



Just tell me what is up

Tell me what is up

I've almost had enough

You're playing with my love

Just tell me what is up

Yes, really, what the fuck?

I may not be your man

But I would understand

I would understand

I may not be your man

But I would understand



Just tell it like it is to me, baby

Just say I'm right, I'll do the rest, baby
Ethereal Connection
Don't believe in magic
All the harder that I try
But you and I have something
That I never can describe
Take a ride
Say goodbye



I don't say it too often

Isn't usually my style

I'm here whatever happens

Don't you know that I'll stand by?

By your side

Until the end of time



Don't believe in magic

All the harder that I try

But you and I have something

That I never can describe

Take a ride

Say goodbye



Take a ride

Say goodbye

Ride

Say goodbye
See You On Monday (You're Lost)
And it happens at every turn I'm at
Somewhat steady, but please don't call me that
And it happens at every turn I'm at
Something beckoning me and I turn back
Turn back

Yes, I do turn back



And it happens at every turn I'm at

Am I in love again, man, just like that?



She said

"I'm the one you want

And you can turn me on

But life ain't too much fun

When there's no telling where you're heading"

She said

"I'm the one you want

And you can turn me on (Turn me on)

But life ain't too much fun

When there's no telling where you'll end up"

No, no



You're lost

You're lost

You're lost

You're lost



And it happens at every turn I'm at

Somewhat steady, but please don't call me that



And it happens at every turn I'm at (I'm the one you want, and you can turn me on)

Something beckoning me and I turn back (But life ain't too much fun, when there's no telling where you'll end up)

See you on Monday (I'm the one you want, and you can turn me on)

Don't know what I'll say (But life ain't too much fun, when there's no telling where you'll end up)

See you on Monday (I'm the one you want, and you can turn me on)

Don't know what I'll say (But life ain't too much fun, when there's no telling where you'll end up)

See you on Monday (I'm the one you want, and you can turn me on)

Don't know what I'll say (But life ain't too much fun, when there's no telling where you'll end up)



You're lost

You're lost

You're lost

You're lost
Afterthought
I might be crazy
Senses betray me
Are you parading all your lovers to bait me?
You only call me
To drive you to safety
But you never stay, must be so easy to play me



I can be emotional

If you need me to



Tell me, what do I say to turn this around?

Ninety-nine days, you'd think I'd know how



I can be emotional

If you need me to



Tell me, what do I say to turn this around?

I beg you, don't make me say it out loud

No matter what I do

I'm an afterthought to you



I'm not complaining

But I've noticed lately

When we're alone, it's like I'm keeping you waiting

My hopes are fading

'Cause nothing is changing

I'm still so far away from calling you baby



Over at Josephine's

She's inbetween the sheets

No time for pleasantries

No time for pleasant dreams

Not an angel, not by any means

But got something, everyone agrees



Tell me, what do I say to turn this around?

Ninety-nine days, you'd think I'd know how

I can get emotional

Like your lovers do

Tell me, what do I say to turn this around?

I beg you, don't make me say it out loud

No matter what I do

I'm an afterthought to you

I'm an afterthought to you

I'm an afterthought to you



Tell me, what do I say to turn this around?

Ninety-nine days, you'd think it by now

I can be emotional

If you need me to

Tell me, what do I say to turn this around?

I beg you, don't make me say it out loud

No matter what I do

I'm an afterthought to you

I said, no matter what I do

I'm an afterthought to you

Just an afterthought to you

I'm an afterthought to you
End Of Summer
Everybody knows how I feel about you
So you can act surprised if you need to
And I am still your friend if you think it's worth it
It just means that I'll see you when I see you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh



I could not deny it was overwhelming

Living out our lives for just one thing

And right now I would love to put my arms around you

Even if I know it would mean nothing

Nothing



I know I can seem uncaring

In moments like these

I just hope it's enough to say

My words don't come with ease

And I'm sure that you won't believe

But you'll be on my mind

I waited 'till the end of summer

And I ran out of time



Do it on my own

Goin' through it on my own

It's a feelin' in my bones

Can we do it tomorrow?

I'ma do it on my own

Goin' through it on my own

It's a feelin' in my bones

Can we do it tomorrow?

And



I know I can seem uncaring

In moments like these

Just 'cause I don't regret it

Doesn't mean I won't think about it





Love doesn't cast a shadow

Fun doesn't make you shallow

Just wanna make it brighter

Just wanna lay beside ya



Do it on my own

Goin' through it on my own

It's a feelin' in my bones

Can we do it tomorrow?

I'ma do it on my own

Goin' through it on my own

It's a feelin' in my bones

Can we do it tomorrow?

And

Do it on my own (Everybody knows)

Goin' through it on my own

It's a feelin' in my bones (How I feel about you)

Can we do it tomorrow?

I'ma do it on my own (So you can act surprised)

Goin' through it on my own

It's a feelin' in my bones (If you need to)

Can we do it tomorrow?

And (Oh-oh)
