Sondre Lerche Album

I had a bad dream and as the night progressed
Traced the silliness I watched it all unfold
Oh dear if there is any truth to this
Somebody wake me and serve up some good white lies

I had a bad dream in which the phone would ring
And drown out everything that kept me on my feet
But down each street so quiet now
I can hear ticking from meters and bombs
When I fall asleep and I climb these four walls
Wake up in the middle of conference calls
That go on forever bout nothing at all

Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up
Oh there's no reason why

I had a bad dream and as the sun came in
I threw out everything that kept me company
I held my breath to feel alive
The damage is measured against the regrets
Potential of tragedy hangs you by threads
Strike up the banjo and sing as a song

Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up
Oh there's no reason why

Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up

Luck whether good or bad
Doesn't come from justice

Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up
Oh there's no reason why

Tell me what you think about this song
Sue me if you reckon it's too long
I wanna know how you really feel

Tell me what you think this is funny?
Spending all my time and my money?
Trying to find how you really feel.

The radio's perfect pitch makes me nauseous ohhhh!
The dimwits are digging a ditch on my heartbeat radio

Tell me what's the deal with the static
FM has become automatic
I wanna know did the DJ drown
In a sea of reverb and compression ohhhh!
Wait till you hear the refrain on my heartbeat radio

My darling waves can be replaced
But I will remember you

I'd sell my soul for your adore (?)
Still I'm not receiving you.

Tell me why you're changing the station
What comes after heavy rotation?
I wanna know am I coming through
I wanna know what I've done to you
You're wearing out my favorite song and everyone elses ohhh!
Nothing but sad honky-tonk on my heartbeat radio

My darling waves can be replaced
But I will remember you

I sold my soul for your adore (?)
Still I'm not receiving you

Tell me what you think about this song...
Tell me what you think about this song...
Tell me what you think about this song...
Tell me what you think about this song...
Tell me what you think about
Tell me what you think about
Tell me what you think about

We laughed and cried but don't ask why
My poor heart still beats for you
Oh my heartbeat radio

My darling waves can be replaced
But I will remember you

I'd sell my soul for your adore (?)
Still I'm not receiving you
Oh my heartbeat radio
Oh my heartbeat radio

We're sleight of hand
And force of will
Closets full of outsized shoes to fill
I better be
A gifted kid
To undo some of the deeds you did
And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
You're gonna be alone gonna be alone it's gonna be late
Forgive you anything
Try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend I'll make up something new
You can push me away but I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go

The rubber band is wearing thin
Bursting as reality kicks in
All hope should be at long last laws
But you defy all sense at any cost
And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
You're gonna be alone gonna be alone it's gonna be late
Forgive you anything
Try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend I'll make up something new
But there's no getting back to the start
I try to shake it but it just won't do
You can push me away but I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
You're gonna be alone gonna be alone gonna be late
Forgive you anything
Try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So let's pretend to make up something new
But there's no getting back to the start
I'll be a father you can be a son
Till I can't even tell us apart
Try to shake it but the deal is done
You can push me away but I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
Try as I may I know I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

It's a travesty
Where do I begin?
The ways in which I have behaved
I'm glad no one was keeping track of me
Like a tambourine
Driven by the beat
I forgot what time it was
I wish someone were looking out for me

Some of you may think that I regret some of my doings
I'd do it all again
If I had the chance
Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled just like Lazenby

Like the swirling sun
I haven't burned out
It's better to have said well I won't bore you with these things we tend to say
Like a fairy tale
With blood on every page
My failures brought about some blessings
Someone must be watching over me

Even though I wonder why I did some of my doings
I'd do it all again
If I had the chance
Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled just like Lazenby
Just like Lazenby

Just like Lazenby
Burning every bridge
Endless opportunities I squandered on the way to this event
Just like Lazenby

Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled and reluctantly begged forgiveness
Just like Lazenby

My baby's building a sand castle.
Someday we're gonna live on the shores.
But nowadays we just hold our breath.
Until the meeting next Monday and it's going through the roof
We're blowing through the roof
If only you guys could see us

Me and my baby we pick our butt
I know the talented devil inside.
And so we bond over raisin toes
twos absent minds

Who'll paint the sky
Two absent minds
Expecting to fly

My baby does tend to contradict
It's only natural that it's
Going through the roof
We're blowing through the roof
If only you guys could see that

I'm giving you the proof
I'm telling you the truth

They were gonna call tomorrow.

Two absent minds
expecting to fly

My baby knows how the world goes round
we'll jump the rails and abandon this town.
Since have to blush when imagining
how big it's gonna be really really

Going through the roof
We're going through the roof
If only the world we followed
I'm giving you the proof
What do I have to do
to make sure you are believers

If only you guys could see us now.
(Background singing)

This could be asking for more than I merit.
This could be testing your patience.

I really don't have a whole lot to draw from
But I'd be willing to learn
Only...
Don't expect too much style and finesse.
But don't be surprised if I impress.

I say this even though...
I'm almost sure by now you know.

I say this even though...
I'm almost sure by now you know.

[No lyrics]

You be words and I'll be music
Ain't you heard that's how to do it
You're a poem when you're on your own
I try not to get in your way
But if all the pretty poems I have known
Baby you give me something to say

I'll be words and you be music
I concur I can't refuse it
You're a sad little tune by yourself
So lovely I wanna sing along
If there's one thing I know I can tell
When we get together we're a song
Whenever I'm with you it's true it's
Everything you say and do it's
Words and music you and I

Listen here
I've got to say it
It's so clear
The way we should play it
I will carry -arry -arry you
Together we'll float through the sky
We can marry -arry -arry too
Together just look at us fly

Whenever I'm with you it's true it's
Everything you say and do it's
Words and music you and I

When we fight it's rock and roll
When we make it up it's so
And in the meanwhile freestyle play by ear and improvise
It's clear we go together
It's been like this forever
You and I and words and music

Whenever I'm with you it's new it's
Everything you say and do it's true
You and I are (You and I are)
You and I are (You and I are)
You and I are words and music

You better know by now she said
I made no effort to defend myself against her claims

There wasn't anything to add
and so I blurted out I guess it's gonna rain today.
What a silly thing to put you through
I know better

Lost for words because of losing you
Didn't I promise you
I knew better

Hurry home before the sky breaks out you can't predict things that happen all the time
Hurry back don't take my word for it babe
I don't know but I guess it's gonna rain today
I don't know but I guess it's gonna rain today

She said to get the hell away
And left me standing in the doorway like a tired cliche
I thought I had it all pinned down
Now I'm the guy who said I guess it's gonna rain today
Oh the fine line between street smartness and a smartass
All the skipping beats of confidence and the drum roll that you thought you could play

Hurry home before the sky breaks out no point predicting things that happen all the time
Hurry back don't take my word for it babe
I don't know but I guess it's gonna rain today
I don't know but I guess it's gonna rain today

But I'm sure that you've known this all along
Oh I'm sure that you've known this all along

Well it's all over now oh I'm not gonna beg to differ
So unfit to be lounging with her
You've been running around now, running around, running around
But you made your mind up and you couldn't believe your luck now
How the chemicals combined and still how
You were running around now running around now now now

So go and fake one more mistake
And choose to be so cruel
I can't defend my self against almighty moon

Oh it's all over now it was peachy for a while then bitter
the start was faultless but you end a quitter
Always running away now, running away, running away
Well he swept the truth out little something pulls you right back in trust
Little nothings to be pulling tricks just to keep you running around now running around running around now now now

So go and fake one more mistake
And choose to be so cruel
I can't defend my self against almighty moon

Wake up wake up
You made your last mistake
The world can be so cruel
I won't abide the tide of your almighty moon
My own almighty moon
I know your tricks too well
Now please

Popular spoons
Sweeten the swoons
You know the drill right up until
They find you don't carry their itinerary around

It's such a sad beguiling thing
You've got it bad
It's not a fling
But you can't play the part without breaking your own heart into two

Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find
I fought all the devils that wanted to change me and break me down
Don't look now
Look away

They make the rules
You don't want to sell out
You've got the tools they don't allow but
They are no boundaries just recoupable royalties and men.

The lights go out a thunder roars a silly thing
You can't ignore till you've overstayed your welcome with those who've paid for
All your dressing up

Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find
I fought and resisted back when they secused (?) me and brought me down
Don't look down
Look away

Oh can't you see there's nothing to collect
Oh but tell me what did you expect
It's so stupid and selfish all the same
And so sad you can't go again

Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find
Fought and resisted when they tried to change me around
But this just become so predictable it's hard to stay aground
Cut me some slack
Never look back
Don't look now
Look away

Good day I like you when you're drunk
I only wish I was there
Not trapped upon this bunk
Hurrying to god knows where
In a land far far away
In a low-budget production
I make up stories of you and seduction
You may want to add a thing or two between the lines
Tell me all about it and I'll try to make the words jump off the page at anytime
Lost in correspondences all day
For the lack of better words I'll choose them carefully and say

I bet you're quite a sight
I can't pretend I don't care
I'm not the jealous kind
But I can imagine they stare
Watching the daylight fly by
While topping my darkest confessions
Reading the things that I write raises questions
You may want to add a thing or two between the lines
Tell me all about it and I'll try to make the words spill from your pager every time
Girl I could be doing this all day
But the lack of flesh and blood beneath the words leaves me inane

Is it a drug or a word
Maybe just a nice piece of fiction
Won't I ever cease to obsess
Over this universal addiction
In a word you're all that I want
Oh you're the only prescription
But nothing in here seems to match the description
You may want to add a thing or two between the lines
Tell me all about it and I'll try to make the words jump off the page at anytime
Strange abbreviations can prevent my serenading you and message number nine
I try to make the sentence last all day
And for the lack of better words I'll choose them carefully and say
Good night
