Peter Bjorn And John Album

Go away from the window babe,
Take a look at what's inside
And take a look into my eyes
Far away, but by my side
I'm finding ways to move away
This is the closest that we'll ever get
And we're not close at all
And still you seem to know it all
Far away but by my side,
I keep you at a distance from me
Push another old cliché out of the couch
And try to feed another mouth
and see how well you'll do
I'm not competing with her odds,
I only know that this feels good
I don't have to be so clever babe


Can't get it out of my head a tone in a voice
Annoying alarm bells, bathroom noise
I'm leaving it behind
Still I need to be found by someone
Seal another envelope, don't send it,
keep it in the desk,
and hope it won't be needed to be read
I'm not competing with her odds,
I only know that this feels good
I don't have to be so clever babe

I stay to watch the sidewalks,
being cleaned up by the dustmen
Chilly winds under my collar
and I walk and I walk and I walk
In Amsterdam and New York,
in cities and in forests
At least I'm not bored yet
and I walk and I walk and I walk and I walk

The shoes are almost worm out,
the sheets are dry and empty
Let go of prejudice, let go of cleverness
and open up your heart mate
And let all flow in there freely,
no matter in what form
Perhaps somedat it'll touch you
And I love to see you crumble
I love to see you cry

And I wake up feeling lonely, I let the sunshine in
I know you're not the only, and I really don't care

One time per minute is enough for me,
one time per minute is just what I need
Don't leave me stiff and cold,
don't bring me down at all

Sleepless,
Can't ignore the radio on the second floor
Red dress,
Hanging on the chair where she sat down before

Taking at to
Trash it by mistake
I throw away the kiss

Just before I left
I've found you've been gone for weeks

What a man suposed to do when I don't know
Seven twenty-five, I'm leaving for big plans

What a man suposed to do when I don't care

It beats me everytime
Just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me everytime
I just don't can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me everytime

But I know what you've done for me
What you have done for me lately
It's nothing

Different,
In the way we hurt before a towsands times
Boring,
Sound like the very best of times one tried

Depending on the big the crowd,
It's easy to scape your face

Standing on your tip toes
Can't you get a glimpse of what they say?

What a man suposed to do when I don't know
Every fifteen minutes, someone asks a question
What a man suposed to do when I don't care

It beats me everytime
Just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me everytime
I just don't can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me everytime
I just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me everytime
I just don't can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me everytime

But I know what you've done for me
What you have done for me lately
What you have done for me lately
What you have done for me lately
It's nothing
It's nothing
It's nothing

Nothing.

it might be, 'gainst your will
but now you have to talk,
you know you have to talk
your eyes red, thunder ball
you're making it hard, I will not let it go
I don't need to succeed
just need to hear ou speak,
to crack up now and speak
speak your mind, tell me your thughts,
I can wait or use force
I can waste all the time that you need,
to make clear it really was wasted

it is strange, how you change
you sure were dull before,
but this is beyond beyond
can't you see, it's your loss
I see it in your eyes,
not happy are they, those eyes
carrying or careless, they're hard to tell apart
for you, and where's your heart
in your chest or in your head,
sketching vauge sceneries
might take place, later on, that will wreck all apart,
but does it matter now?

It's comming back the things you said to me,
I'm hiding away from reality
Denying myself all the better parts
Then you slip back and say don't take it hard
And then I find it hard to sleep at all
Wishing I could give someone else a call
Someine that's closer, closer, close to me

Do you know the bar? The way to the bar?

But it's clear and bright now,
from the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin,
to the black under your eyes
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
And when I slose my eyes, I still see this face
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

No competition over ecstasy
Find ebb and tide when you're confronting me
I will admit all of my weaker parts
But I shut up if you don't want my point
My point of view to stand against your own
But I don't need to be put down this way
I'm going down this way, but you can stay

Do you know the bar? The way to the bar?

But it's clear and bright now,
from the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin,
to the black under your eyes
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
And when I slose my eyes, I still see this face
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

And it's black, because I know it will never work for me
And it's black, because I know I don't want us to be
Another opportunity, wasted by all of these Loose-ends,
"they don't know their own best" -friends
And "let's pretends"...

I was drinking what you drank
Still I don't feel good
Not at all
Not at all

I was having what you had
Still I don't feel good
Not at all
Not at all

I'll prepare to take a stand
Normal people talk
About it all
About it all

I decided to make sense
Stop acting strange
Nevermore
Nevermore

I hope everything's alright with you
Maybe I should go and see about you
Collect some love, if you don't mind
Collect some love, if you don't mind, no

My heart it grows
My heart it grows

I've fallin'
I've fallin' in
I've fall'n in love with you

I smile a second, then it's gone
When I realize I'm all alone
Why is it so hard? No, I won't cry
Oh so hard? No, I won't cry, no

My heart it grows
I think it shows

I've fallin'
I've fallin' in
I've fall'n in love with you

Carry me home, the night is dark and long
I think I'm done with all the people taking part
So I move much closer, I don't mind
And I leave a mark on your face, I don't mind, no

I've fallin'
I've fallin' in
I've fall'n in love with you

[No lyrics]

Even little kittens lick the milk they spoiled
It's laying in my genes to act as I've been told
Even when you saw me cry
No-one dared to tell you why

Every glance you threw was always tailormade
When all your friends are gone you simply won't let yourself fade
Fearsome, hip, it's not your fault

Show for real, could never be both
Well I hate to be a downer, but this happens to be the truth
I got lost when you found her
Bring me back my youth

Beautiful people never do the right thing wrong
It seems so easy to just be and belong
I suppose it's jealousy
Due to things
I'm not with me

But I simply couldn't be something I aint
I'd feel so greasy if I drown myself in paint
It's so hard to realise
That I'm in to telling lies

Well I hate to be a downer, but this happens to be the truth
I got lost when you found her,
Bring me back my youth

What is natural to you, what exactly does it mean?
What exactly does the world mean to you ba-a-by?
I've found it, I've found it, I've found out I'm grown up
I've found out I'm grown up

Well I hate to be a downer, but this happens to be the truth
I got lost when you found her,
Bring me back my youth
Well I hate to be a downer, but this happens to be the truth
I got lost when you found her,
Bring me back my youth

These days I'm awful tired
and you know why, and you know why,
why can't you try
You know that I'm not sleeping, not sleeping well
Yes you can tell, why can't you try
To bring some peace to my mind

I'm not trying to be clever,
I'm trying to be straight, now get this straight
It's not too late for you to
Say goodbye the straight way
say goodbye in the best way

Well now I see they're screaming harder - and they're throwing things
but I don't need to follow - I don't want to follow
I'm trying to get hollow - trying to get hollow
is there something I can borrow - just until tomorrow

Well now I see they're getting lamer to the point of lying down
the beat is getting softer - the heat is getting colder
the light is getting dim - the substance getting thinner
but I'm still trying to grasp it - they give me meals to choke on

And now you hold his hand
and now he understands
but I don't have to face it - I don't have to chase shit
'cause I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you

Get back where you belong at university
or try to do it our way - try to make it this way
but I don't need to listen - I'll be home for Christmas
I'll see you when it's raining - society is draining

You'll be up and you'll be down in a matter of minutes
I've tried run the distance
tried and get the high fence
but I've never been a sportsman
got picked last when they picked teams
I'm the worst kind of amateur
the kind which never wins the war
though I had the best of teachers
they called me the seeker

And now you...
and now you hold his hand
and now he understands
but I don't have to face it - I don't have to chase shit

'Cause I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you
I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you
oh oh oh! - I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you
you...

You know it's never gonna last a lifetime
So I say you're better off if you end it now
Then you take a look around the properties
There's a lot to see, let it surround you now
'cause if you are sure you are ridiculous
One can never be not even the best of us

I know, 'cause I've been there

You disappoint yourself if you stay like that
You'll grow bitter, I can see it happening
And then you'll wish you'd done as I said
But it's too late, you're already stuck
and you walk around looking for reasons to make it worthwhile
but you never find them

I know, 'cause I've been there

But if you'd seen her
The first time that we met
She walked up to me, she walked up to me
I never would have guessed, I would come to depend on her
I would come to depend on her

As she approached me, talked to me, spoke my name
she spoke my name, she spoke my name
I never would have guessed, I would come to depend on her
I would come to depend on her

But as it happens
If I picture me growing old without her
without her
That I couldn't bear, I see her by my side
I see her by my side

I need to focus on the things that I do best
and work on that, and work on that
Now I'm working this affair
I won't finish 'til I'm done, I won't finish 'til I'm done

Up until now, I've been only wasting time
Wasting time, I'm wasting time
That's not what I need, the only time I need
Is the time I've spent on this here

And if you say
that I'm held in a trap
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
that is where I wanna be

And if you say
so entrapments your trip
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
if that's how you see it so be it

And if you say
that I'm held in a trap
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
that is where I wanna be

So if you say
that entrapments your trip
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
if that's how you see it, so be it.
