He thought, he might 

One day get it done 

But he never got around to it 

For what it’s worth he tried, he tried 

If only he could believe it… 

I beg you, child 

Don’t run yourself into the ground 

Come up for air and 

//: Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Wild and proud :// x3 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Breathe if you can, child. 

No pause, no pondering 

No rest for the wicked 

Like them, he wants it all 

But it’s not even worth the trying 

If he’s not gonna win this war… 

I beg you, child 

Don’t tie yourself to the ground 

Rise up for air and 

//: Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Wild and proud :// x3 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Breathe when you can, child 

What you see as worth 

Depends on what you shine your light onto 

I’m watching you, trying to find your way through the dark 

Solo Klavier  

I see you, child 

I see you now 

//: Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Wild and proud :// x3 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

Flutter, flutter, breathe 

I know you can, child. 

You’re trying to figure 

If it’ll ever get easier 

You keep choking back the same kind of tears 

You’re wallowing in self-defeat 

When you could win them over, one by one 

You say that you’re bothered, who knew, 

By the way they talk about you 

But you would rather dissipate into thin air 

Than watch yourself get in their way 

When you should take them down  

One by one, one by one – but far from 

One day you’ll look back and see that all along you were blooming 

Now you are trying to hide your imperfections, but they’re the essence of your beauty 

Don’t worry, love 

Eyes on the prize 

All of these times are transitory 

You’ve got this 

Buckle up tight 

You’ll just have to ride it out 

I catch yourself in self-reflection 

Picking at all the parts unpolished 

You hide ‘em away, so the world won’t see 

There’s no rest until your flaws are vanished 

You take them down 

One by one, one by one - you want them gone 

One day you’ll look back and see that all along you were blooming 

Now you are trying to hide your imperfections, but they’re the essence of your beauty 

You’ve fallen, so what’s the problem? 

Get up and fix what caused you to trip 

I’m sorry 

I can’t take it off you 

You’ll just have to ride it out 

Solo Gitarre  

You don’t like what you see 

Not sure who you’re gonna be 

You’d trade your youthfulness 

For just a little less confusion 

You’re trying hard to click 

Into a role that doesn’t wanna fit 

Hold on, don’t doubt, 

Hold on, hold out 

Time will tell, time will tell what life is all about 

One day you’ll look back and see that 

All along you were blooming 

While you were trying to hide your imperfections 

You dulled the essence of your beauty 

You’ve fallen and 

You’ll fall again 

Now you know of the story never-ending 

You’ve got this 

Buckle up tight 

You just gotta ride it out. 

Oh, I’ve denied it 

I certainly tried to hide it but 

My mind only rests when I’m with you and my feet never do what I say  

when I’m not on my way to see you 

I think it’s funny how 

One look at you makes my day go sunny 

How your name has become my favorite word 

My heart sings like a cage of birds 

I know that you’re taken but 

My heart is slowly breaking 

Because you’ve got it all 

Everything that I could fall for 

Hey you, come on down 

And let me show you everything that I’ve been dreaming about 

Like two feathers in the wind, we could 

Sail away and start again 

Hey you, I’ve got time, 

You’ve been spinning my mind around for a while 

Is it only me or is it just the summer breeze 

Or is it what they call love? 

Is it what they call love? 

I’ve tried to move on, 

You’d been the theme of my thoughts for way too long 

But I couldn’t forget you, I couldn’t just believe that this would 

Only ever be a lonesome dream 

I know that you’re taken but 

My heart is slowly breaking 

Because you’ve got it all 

Everything that I could fall for 

Hey you, come on down 

And let me show you everything that I’ve been dreaming about 

Like two feathers in the wind, we could 

Sail away and start again 

Hey you, I’ve got time, 

You’ve been spinning my mind around for a while 

Is it only me or is it just the summer breeze 

Or is it what they call love? 

Is it what they call love? 

I’ll be standing here until you tell me that I’m out of my mind 

I’ll be waiting right here even though the day will bow to the night 

Because I can’t spend any minute longer trying to deny that 

I wish you’d be mine 

Hey you, come on down 

And let me show you everything that I’ve been dreaming about 

Like two feathers in the wind, we could 

Sail away and start again 

Hey you, I’ve got time, 

You’ve been spinning my mind around for a while 

Is it only me or is it just the summer breeze 

Or is it what they call love? 

Is it what they call love? x mehrmals 

I was taught to be thankful 

When I get what I worked for 

Harvesting my own sweat and tears 

I was taught to look pleasantly surprised 

Every time I get advice 

That I never ask for 

Sorry, but I’m not sorry 

I’ll take the risk 

Of coming across like a massive bitch 

I was told to stay humble 

When painting the picture 

Of all my ambitions 

I was told to be one thing only 

Labeled clearly 

Averting confusion 

Sorry, but I’m not sorry 

I’ll take the risk 

Of causing a ripple in your reasoning 

I’m worth it 

Worthy, worthy 

I’m worth it 

Worthy worthy 

I’m worth it - I’m worth the extra thought. 

I learned to learn quickly 

My confidence is preparation 

There is no room to make mistakes and still be met with patience 

I was told of a latter 

I was told there is an order 

And I’m supposed to keep my head down and get in line 

Sorry, but I’m not sorry 

I’m not gonna waste my time playing a calculated game 

I’m worth it 

I’m worthy, worthy 

Worth it 

Worthy, worthy - I’m worth the extra thought 

//: If you don’t get me, if you don’t get me, Don’t try to simplify me 

If you can’t keep up, you can’t keep up, Don’t try to trip me, 

If you can’t work your way around the way I work, just tell me I’m willing to work it out :// 

I was taught to be forgiving 

I was taught to be confiding 

I had to learn to set limits to my empathizing 

I love to view from different angles, 

Try to understand them 

take my time to sort my thoughts 

Sorry, but I’m not sorry 

I don’t judge quickly and I wish that you’d do the same 

I’m worth it 

Worthy worthy 

I’m worth it 

Worthy worthy 

I’m worth it - I’m worth the extra thought. 

Oh, I’ve denied it

Silence finally settled in my ear 

My humming engine rattled, found a sudden halt, in the middle of a thought 

Been riding the waves        

Having lost my grip 

Now I’m drowning 

Breathe in water 

Breathe out color 

Hiding from the adamant truth 

Avoiding solitude  

Stalling everywhere I go, 

Some things are better handled not at all 

Pressure is rising,  

Surging in silence  

I’ve given up, I’m just watching it explode.  

Breathe in fire 

Breathe out colour 

At the edge of my sound mind there is solace  

For there’s nothing to lose nor to gain 

A peaceful and rare place of stillness 

Where hope is all we have to hang onto  

Solo E-Gitarre 

Solo Klavier  

Not an ordinary sight 

Me, hanging onto hope as my last ally 

It’s growing on me, though 

Stops me from brushing away pain too quickly 

Slowing down for what feels like the first time 

Riding out the chaos, in a nose-diving plane 

Full of vacuum-packed pain.  

Breathe in the breaking 

Breathe out color 

You call the night sky as your only ally in the face of fear 

And spring the news on him that word came in now with certainty 

And he cries over the final ruling and sings the blues 

While you try and comprehend what’s happening to you 

You’ve sat in stilllness since your illness turned you frail 

You gaze upon your feet where ants have formed a trading trail 

“Like a lifeline or a common thread”, you look amused 

Life will go on, so move along, you call a truce 

For no one wished to see you pivot 

On the pedal point of life 

No one wished to see you stumble 

Suddenly into the unknown … 

Solo Bass  

You call the night sky as your only ally in the face of fear 

He belongs to you as death belongs to certainty 

And you cry and sing the blues 

While you say your last goodbyes 

In the calm before the storm that’s awaiting you 

You claim to love me 

And that would be alright 

How come then it’s so hard for me to keep Your spirits high 

Your love is like a tidal wave 

Followed by a drought 

My head gets wrecked from your play, 

I’m dressed in doubt 

And yet you claim to love me 

It’s hard to think straight 

When you take up every inch of my day 

You got me hooked on your approval 

All I want to do is make you happy 

And claim to love you 

Like you claim to love me too 

Why do I abide by you? 

Abide by you and by your rules? 

Why do I abide by you? 

When I’m addicted to movement 

Addicted to new beginnings 

Addicted to questioning 

Nearly every single thought I’m thinking 

I’m addicted to freedom 

Addicted to speaking up for the truth 

Addicted to humor 

And to humoring you… 

You make me feel alive 

Like I’ve been discovered 

You build up all my confidence 

Just to break it down,  

have me question everything 

You say you need to know me better 

But when I let you read into me 

You twist the words of my story 

So the blame settles on me 

And yet you claim to love me 

And worse, I claim to love you too 

Why do I abide by you? 

Abide by you and by your rules? 

Why do I abide by you? 

When I’m addicted to movement 

Addicted to new beginnings 

Addicted to questioning 

Nearly every single thought I’m thinking 

I’m addicted to freedom 

Addicted to speaking up for the truth 

Addicted to humor 

And to humoring you… 

But one day I will figure 

What you’ve done to me 

One day I will sever 

What you wove into me 

And then I’ll learn to forgive myself 

One day I will align  

What was bent into shape 

One day I will have found  

All the parts that were taken 

Then I’ll learn to forgive myself 

And learn to remember that I’m 

When I’m addicted to movement 

Addicted to new beginnings 

Addicted to questioning 

Nearly every single thought I’m thinking 

I’m addicted to freedom 

Addicted to speaking up for the truth 

Addicted to humor 

And to humoring you… 

And I will stop loving you... 

Springtime, here we go again 

Even though we’re still so far away 

From the dreams that we spelled,  

From the promise we felt so ready for 

Up and down that’s how it goes 

And we just follow, as we fall and fly  

Like two birds in the raging skies 

Not knowing where to start 

Is picking us apart 

And that takes away the light,  

It takes away the light 

Not knowing where to start 

Is picking us apart 

And it’s pulling me away from you, secretly 

But who could light my fire better than you 

Through and through  

I wanna be tangled up in you 

They say life is like a song 

So we just let it groove on 

As we pay the jukebox price 

Turning each coin twice 

Not able to keep step 

We’re fueling stale regret 

And it takes away the light,  

It takes away the light 

Not able to keep step 

We’re fueling stale regret 

And it’s pulling me away from you, quietly 

But who could light my fire better than you 

Through and through  

I wanna be tangled up in you 

Tangled up in the love that I feel for you 

You, you, you 

You say there is a game plan 

If we play the game and we play it well 

Or we could walk away from our storyline 

Respell, rewrite, redefine 

Springtime, here we go again 

Still hoping for a change to come 

Crawling underneath my skin 

Something’s settling 

Turning into light, turning into light 

Underneath my skin, a thought is settling 

And it’s pulling me close to you, suddenly. 

Who could light my fire better than you 

Through and through  

I wanna be tangled up in you 

Tangled up in the love that I feel for you.
