Bulletproof

And now we lie in the same bed
we have been here before
I drew a picture of you but I blurred all the contours
Am I overreacting
I’ve done this before
When you had no way of knowing
That I needed some more
And I couldn’t keep pretending
Oh my god I scared you to death
And you thought this was the ending, the ending
Now’s not the time to fool around
I need something from you now
You enjoy the routine oh are you too blind to see
Now I need to feel you
Now you need to make a move
This is the moment to proof
That we’re in fact bulletproof
And now we lie in the same bed
You ask about my day
And again we’re postponing the conversation I crave
Is it me that was blinded
Oh I failed to see
That at the end of the day you felt the same as me
Yeah you’ve seen that I’ve loved you the most
When on a highway and going to fast
In a car without brakes because I’m in a rush

Beat Of A City

And so I’m back here again
I met some of my old friends
No, I can’t believe that these are the people
Who stare in my nightmares
Every once in a while
No I’ve never been strong enough to cut all ties
I wake in my bed in the big, big city
The world at my feet but I feel dizzy
Choking on these small-town memories again
and they say…
There is no place like home
But the pace of this town
Has never been a rhythm to me
There is no place like home
But the bass line of my life
Has always resonated with the beat of a city
Yeah it’s a fact that I know
Every tree as I go
through the woods to the place that I used to adore
Where everything is so quiet
And you could be lying in the grass for hours
And now that I’m back in the big, big city
I suddenly see the life I’m missing
I’ll always be the one that has left
Ran as far as she could at the first chance
and they say…
But my hopes fall down
When no one’s around
Thought the city could cure me
But now I’m in doubt
Suddenly I know
Wherever I go
In the end it’s my choices
That make me feel alone
and they say…

My Best

I wanna give you my best
I would give all to make sure
That you’ve smiled enough at the end of the day
Still you keep asking for more
You say you’re sorry, you were worried
Can’t you see that this way you’re losing me?
This way you’re losing me…
Take a breath and think of how you read to me
A little bit too loud and I was leaning against your shoulder
We were never growing older
When I look at you I see
You’re worth the very best of me
And when the morning met the sky
You said this feels like our first night
You say that you wanna feel every inch of me
And I shudder and I wonder
Do you know that you’re being too much?
And so I made you choose
Just so you know this time
My very best has got to be enough
It’s gotta be enough
Take a breath and think of how you looked at me
The morning after things had gotten out of hand
You held me saying „Do I even know you?“
When I look at you I see
You’re worth the very best of me
And when the morning met the sky
You said this feels like our first night
You say that you know that you’re asking for much
I know you didn’t start this in a rush
If you understand I’m in a different place
I will catch up with you if you wait
If you wait I will…
Take a breath and think of how you made me feel
You jumped onto a plane
As If you didn’t have a choice
Just know I would’ve done the same, oh
When I look at you I see
You’re worth the very best of me
And when the morning met the sky
You said this feels just like our first night

Dragon Slayer

And so I’ll go
I guess I’m far from broken but how would I know
On days like these
I don’t know how to simply spend time with me
I’ve got a mess i my head, I’ve got a hole in my bed
I don’t want to forget what it feels like to be a child
I can’t seem to be a safe place for me
I don’t want to forget…
There’s strength in my body
There’s fire in eyes like these
There’s branches growing out of me
Though I didn’t kill a dragon today
And so I’ll go on
There’s no strength in being broken, I’ve been there
I’ll set me free
Run after myself until I caught me
It’s been a few years since the great fallout
I finally know I survived the drought
I’m stronger than ever and everyone knows
I’m singing my anthem and it goes
Don’t need no one beside me
I am my own army
And if you’d ask me to
I could kill a dragon today

Rooting For Us
04:05

All of the signs say that we made it
But lately I can’t seem to shake that
We do not share the things that matter
And I must admit that there is a pattern
But I can’t let you go
I can feel myself, feel myself growing cold
I don’t want you to, want you to walk all alone
I am scared but I am rooting for us
Can you see the change in my presence
When I was around you I used to glow
Now I annoy myself when I’m with you
And you ruin my nights whenever I’m having fun
Then you hold me so tight
I don’t know where this is supposed to go
And your weight puts pressure on me, pressure on me
But I can’t let you go
I can feel myself, feel myself growing cold
I don’t want you to, want you to walk all alone
I can’t watch you there watch you there on your own
I just can’t let you can’t let you go
All of the signs say that we made it
