Kings Of Convenience Album

You called me after midnight,
must have been three years since we last spoke.
I slowly tried to bring back,
the image of your face from the memories so old.
I tried so hard to follow,
but didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong,
said "I don't know what I can save you from."

I asked you to come over, and within half an hour,
you were at my door.
I had never really known you,
but I realized that the one you were before,
had changed into somebody for whom
I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on.
Still I don't know what I can save you from.

There are very many things
I would like to say to you,
but i've lost my way
and I've lost my words.
There are very many places
I would like to go
but I can't find the key
to open my door.
The weight of my words-
you can't feel it anymore.
The weight of my words-
you can't feel it anymore.
There are very many ways
I would like to break the spell
you've cast upon me.
Because all the time
I sacrificed myself
to make you want me,
has made you hant me.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore...

And I sat down and said
"I don't want to suffer."
But she told me
she had nothing to offer,
no more.

I sat down and said
"I don't want to suffer."
But she told me
she had nothing to offer,
no more.

Now that I know that
I did not know you then...

If it takes control of your body and soul
embrace it
if it makes you cry or leave you wondering why
don't turn around, face it

but do turn cold
if they promise you gold for the price of silver
if it's chemically made
by people you hate
pinch your arm (pitch around), see if they still there

everything you want is what I got to give you
you just have to let yourself come with me now
everything you want is what I got to give you
there's no time to hesitate, come with me now
let's go and watch the sun rise

over london bridge
over golden gate
or puddefjordsbroen

let your heart run along to the rhythm of the song

Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain,
I'll be on my knees to feed her,
spend a day to make her smile again
Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain
As the world is soft around her,
leaving me with nothing to disdain.

Even though I'm not her minder,
even though she doesn't want me around,
I am on my feet to find her,
to make sure that she is safe and sound.
Even though I'm not her minder,
even though she doesn't want me around,
I am on my feet to find her,
to make sure that she is safe from harm.

The sun sets on the war,
the day breaks and everything is new...

Your eyes are cold,
I know you'll tell me all.
Not to fall,
I lean against the wall.
I'm on the floor,
not listening anymore.
I should have known,
the things to which you're prone.
(You cross your arms,
and tell no lies,
a thousand thoughts run
through my mind,
a thousand words that I don't need,
I never thought you could do this.)

Your eyes are cold,
I know you'll tell me all.
Not to fall,
I lean against the wall.

In the sky the birds are pulling rain,
in your life a curse has got a name,
makes you lie awake all through the night
that's why.
She's intoxicated by herself,
everyday she's seen with someone else,
and every night she kisses someone new
never you.

You're waiting in the shadows for a chance
because you believe at heart, that if you can,
show to her what love is all about
she'll change.
She'll talk to you with no one else around,
but only if you're able to entertain her,
the moment conversation stops she's gone
again.

Using the Guardian as a shield,
to cover my thighs against the rain,
I do not mind about my hair.
Your jacket may be waterproof,
but I know the moment you get home
you're gonna get your trousers changed.
Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
lush as the wind upon a tree.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
to capture and keep inside of me.
Failure is always the best way to lean,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.

Little kids playing in the park downtown.
Someone's dad is watching
from the side of the playground.
I'm following my shadow so I cross the street.
Car passing stereo I like the beat.
Open up the door,
turning on the fan.
Dropping down the keys that I held in my hand,
and then start waiting for her steps
to be heard in the staircase,
enter the room and let down her bag.
Asking me all kinds of trivial questions,
pretending an everyday life we don't have.

Little kids playing in the park downtown.
Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down.
Little kids playing in the park downtown.
Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down.
And rises over, Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow,
hours later I will follow,
wake up to a life that's hollow without love

Using the Guardian as a shield,
to cover my thighs against the rain,
I do not mind about my hair.
Your jacket may be waterproof,
but I know the moment you get home
you're gonna get your trousers changed.
Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
lush as the wind upon a tree.

to where all you hear is water sounds,
to capture and keep inside of me.
Failure is always the best way to lean,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.
