Lykke Li Album

Follow these instructions
Do exactly as I do
Lean your shoulders forward
Let your hands slide over to my side
Move your body closer
Let your heart meet mine

Love is the harmony
Desire is the key
Love is the melody
Now sing it with me

Come a little closer
Take a look at me
This light is so obvious
I want you to see
Come a little closer
Look me in the eye
Then repeat with me one more time

Love is the harmony
Desire is the key
Love is a symphony
Now play it with me

x2
You'll be the rythm and I'll be the beat
You'll be the rythm and I'll be the beat
Then I'll be the rythm and you'll be the beat
And love, the shoreline, where you and I meet

Love is the harmony
Desire is the key
Love is a symphony
Come sing some with me

Having troubles telling how I feel
But I can dance, dance and dance
Couldn't possibly tell you how I mean
But I can dance, dance, dance
So when I trip on my feet
Look at the beat
The words are, written in the sand
When I'm shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are, written in the air

Dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do

Easy conversations, there's no such thing
No I'm shy, shy, shy
My hips they lie 'cause in reality I'm shy, shy, shy
But when I trip on my feet
Look at the ground
The words are, written in the dust
When I'm shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are written in the air

Dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
Dance, dance, dance

Walking in the corner
Picking over shoulders
Waiting for my time to come

Walking in the corner
One day to the other
Butter for my piece of bun

Stepping, I'm stompin'
I'm all gone
Give me the tone
And i'm all gone
Yeah, i'm walking by the line
Not here, but in my mind

I'm working, I sweat, but it's all good
I'm breaking my back but it's all good
'Cause i know i'll get it back
Yeah, i know your hands will clap
And I'm working,
Yeah, i'm working
To make butter for my piece of bun

And if you say I'm not OK
We mus-t go
If you say there ain't no way that i could know
If you say i aim too high from down below
Well, say you're not 'cause when i'm gone
You'll be callin' but i won't be at the phone

And i'm hanging around 'till it's all done
You can't keep me back once i had some
No wasting time to get it right
And you will see what i'm about

'Cause i'm working, I sweat, but it's all good
I'm breaking my back but it's all good
'Cause i know i'll get it back
Yeah, i know your hands will clap

And if you say I'm not OK
We mus-t go
If you say there ain't no way that i could know
If you say i aim too high from down below
Well, say you're not 'cause when i'm gone
You'll be callin' but i won't be at the phone

(Walking in the corner
Picking on my shoulder
Waiting for my time to come)

And if you say I'm not OK
We mus-t go
If you say there ain't no way that i could know
If you say i aim too high from down below
Well, say you're not 'cause when i'm gone
You'll be callin'

And if you say I'm not OK
We mus-t go
If you say there ain't no way that i could know
If you say i aim too high from down below
Well, say you're not 'cause when i'm gone
You'll be callin' but i won't be at the phone

let it fall (x 4)

so i weep (x 4)

in weakest moments i weep
'cause i like the way tears fit my cheek
in darkest moments i cry
oh, how i love the way tears soothe my face

i like it soft, i like it wet
i like my make up in a mess
so i cry hard, let it fall
and i won't stop until my tears are all shed

so i weep (x 6)
and i won't stop until my tears are all shed

let it fall (x 4)
enjoy this moment
cuz it feels so good when i let my water flow
drip-drop till i cannot stop
can't stop
and i sit low
drip-drop till i cannot stop, can't stop
i cry for you, cry for you
i cry because i cannot help it
so it runs and it falls
and ain't no stoppin' at all

i like it soft, i like it wet
i like my make up in a mess
so i cry hard, let it fall
and i won't stop until my tears are all shed

so i weep (x 6)
and i won't stop until my tears are all shed
let it fall (x 6)
so i weep (x 3)
and i won't stop until my tears are all shed
let it fall (x 9)

I miss you man
Where have you gone?
I miss you much
I miss you long
So many men
Where did you go?
Over seas, under chairs

Oh lover boy
You're hiding out
Oh could it be
I passed you by a thousand times before
Not knowing who you were

My love will come, my love will come
My love
For you I wait, for you I wait
My love
My love it burns, my love it burns
My love
My love will come, my love will come
My love

Solitude,
I'm doing fine
I dance alone
With my head high
Oh solitude it's all sublime
To swing along
The choice is mine
To wait my lover's plane
Delay my love, I'll wait

My love will come, my love will come
My love
For you I sing, for you I sing
My love
My love it burns, my love it burns
My love
My love will come, my love will come
My love

watch my back so I make sure
you're right behind me as before
yesterday and nights before tomorrow
dry my eyes so you won't know
dry my eyes so I won't show
I know you're right behind me

and don't you let me go let me go tonight
don't you let me go let me go tonight
don't you let me go let me go tonight

don't you let me go let me go tonight don't you let me go let me go tonight don't you let me go let me go tonight

we walked the surface of this town
the high heels above the ground
and how harsh is that we know
keep us save on to the night
we know them all I know it all
stay foot and play along
cause' I'm looking for my friend
now that's you that's you

don't you let me go let me go tonight don't you let me go let me go tonight don't you let me go let me go tonight

don't you let me go let me go tonight don't you let me go let me go tonight don't you let me go let me go tonight

[Please correct me, I'm far from sure]

can't sit down
i'm too proud for love
but with eyes shut
it's you i'm thinking of
but how we move from A to B?
it can't be up to me
'cause you don't know
eye to eye
thigh to thigh
i let go

i think i'm..

a little bit, a little bit
a little bit in love with you
but only if you're
a little but, a little bit, a little bit
in lo-lo-lo-lo-love with me
oh

ooo-ooo...

and for you i keep my legs apart
and forget about my tainted heart
and i will never ever be the first
to say it
i would do it,
push a button
pull a trigger,
climb a mountain
jump off a cliff,
'cause you know baby
i love you love you a little bit
i would do it, i would say it
i would mean it, we could do it
it was you and i and if only i..

i think i'm
a little bit, a little bit
a little bit in love with you
but only if you're
a little but, a little bit, little bit
in lo-lo-lo-lo-love with me

come here, stay with me
stroke me by the hair
'cause i would give anything, anything
to have you as my man (2X)

a little bit, a little bit
a little bit in love with you
but only if you're
a little but, a little bit, little bit
in lo-lo-lo-lo-love with me

Oh thunder in my heart
These razors cutting sharp
And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar

So soft, so suddenly
So that I can not breathe
I'm drawn into a circle painted black

Oh I'm hanging high
Oh won't you let me down
Back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost

And when it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost

Like lightning in my heart
A kiss so burning hot
I'm hanging on a thread that's bound to drop

Like rain on open skies
Don't know the reason why
But I'll always choose the black in front of white

Oh I'm hanging high
Oh won't you let me down
Back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost

And when it hurts the most
I'll push a little more
I'm back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost

I can't get that trumpet out of my head
I can't get that trumpet out of my head
I woke up and I can't get that trumpet out of my head
And you say you can't stand me when I'm quiet,
and so I shot you in my silence

I can't get that trumpet out of my head

Me oh my you thought you had something strong
Me oh my it turned out that you were wrong
Me oh my you your luck seems to be no more
Frightened to get up, fallen to the floor
Me oh my you say what you're going through
Funny you forgot 'cause that's the same thing from you

If you wanna complain
If you wanna complain
I'm not the complaint department
If you wanna complain (x3)

Me oh my you thought you had something strong
Me oh my it turned out that you were wrong
(If you wanna complain)
Me oh my you your luck seems to be no more
(If you wanna complain)
Frightened to get up, fallen to the floor

If you wanna complain
I'm not the complaint department (x 9)

If you're going abroad I can't help you
If you're crossing the street I might be there

If you give it a minute it's wrong
If you give it a minute it's gone
If we're just waiting a second too long
Darling I'll leave and you won't come along

So give me the reason to stay
Give me the reason to wait
You know I don't look to get caught
'Cause darling we're here but my true love is not

I'm breaking it up, before it's on
Breaking it up, it's already gone
Breaking it up, I didn't mean to fraud
Breaking it up

If you're going abroad I can't help you
If you're crossing the street I might be there

And I call you baby I will and I do
Persuade you in though I know that we're through
I let you think that I'm yours when I'm not
Keep you here though I'm ready to drop the last line

I'm breaking it up, before it's on
Breaking it up, it's already gone
Breaking it up, I didn't mean to fraud
Breaking it up

If you're going abroad I can't help you
If you're crossing the street I might be there

Breaking it up
Breaking it up

Ooh, I'm standing in the corner
Thinking all I want to
What am I to do?
Should I go home still sober
Should I buy me another glass of wine
And forget about time

Though my jeans are too tight
Don't feel like dancing
And all this light is too bright
Don't feel like shining
Though this room is too small
I'd rather stand against the wall
And hope that no one sees me-e-e-e-e

And everybody's dancing
I don't want to
And everybody's toying
I don't want to
And everybody's laughing
I don't want to
Everybody but me

And everybody's drinking
I don't want to
And everybody's using
I don't need more
And everybody's floating
I don't want to
Everybody but me, yeah

I get the creeps from all the people in here
I cannot breathe, it's too crowded in here
Don't look at me
I don't wanna be seen; touched; heard; bothered by the fellas who got a look in their eye
They wanna take me home without knowing my name
They wanna put me on
But do they not know is that I'm not like the others

And everybody's dancing
I don't want to
And everybody's toying
I don't want to
And everybody's laughing
I don't want to
Everybody but me

And everybody's drinking
I don't want to
And everybody's using
I don't need more
And everybody's floating
I don't want to
Everybody but me

And everybody's dancing
I don't want to
And everybody's toying
I don't want to
And everybody's laughing
I don't want to
Everybody but me

And everybody's drinking
I don't want to
And everybody's using
I don't need more
And everybody's floating
I don't want to
Everybody but me

And everybody's dancing
I don't want to
And everybody's toying
I don't want to
And everybody's laughing
I don't want more
Everybody but me

And everybody's drinking
I don't want to
And everybody's using
I don't need more
And everybody's floating
I don't want to
Everybody but me, yeah

I sit tight, don't want to miss the show
I hang on, don't want to miss my prime
'Cause time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back

Stay a while, my baby wants me to
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
But tide will dry, upon my baby's back
Tide will dry, upon my baby's back

I get weak
I get weary
I miss sleep
I get moody
I'm in thoughts
I write songs
I'm in love
I walk on

Fingers crossed, my time is coming now
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back

I get weak
I get weary
I miss sleep
I get moody
I'm in thoughts
I write songs
I'm in love
I walk on

I sleep with windows open
I sleep with eyes wide
in case you would come walking
in case you'd change your mind

but don't (straing) yourself for me
don't break yourself for me
don't lose your selfish ways for me

I keep a leash around you
and I keep it nice and tight
in case you would go walking
over forbidden (lines)

but don't go all soft on me
don't come across for me
don't lose your selfish ways over me

un deux trois
quatre cinq six
a hundred times of (...)
you keep on flocking out
you keep me wanting more

un deux trois
quatre cinq six
a hundred times is fine
for you I go all line
oh my, where is my mind?

I keep my window open
I keep it open wide
so keep me keep it open
oh, keep me on your mind
