Simple Life

There're no big stories to tell
Just a description of a state of mind
That shapes my life and that's how it goes
I can't find the focus
No, I can't find the balance
I can't find a place to call my home
A story makes a man
But what stories do I have to tell?
No bruises, no loss and no broken hearts for showing off
Just my little ups and downs
And the struggles to find some ways
To get along with myself in this simple life
Should be a simple life
And all those friendly people here
With their bright faces smiling at me
It's so inspiring and terrifying to me
And this burning question inside
Why is it so hard for me to do the same?
I've thought it would change somehow
But I'm so distracted by the stunning landscapes surrounding me
It's the most beautiful way to forget yourself
A story makes a man
But what stories do I have to tell?
No bruises, no loss and no broken hearts for showing off
Just my little ups and downs
And the struggles to find some ways
To get along with myself in this simple life
Should be a simple life
I could be more grateful
And I could be more satisfied
I could stop thinking "could"
And just be right here
But I'm always in between
And always so unsure
Yeah, that's my state of mind
A story makes a man
But what stories do I have to tell?
No bruises, no loss and no broken hearts for showing off
Just my little ups and downs
And the struggles to find some ways
To get along with myself in this simple life
Should be a simple life
Should be a simple life
Should be a simple life
It's a simple life
It's a simple life

Truth Be Told

First I keep you close. Then I stay away
You just fall asleep and I stay awake
Cause I think and drink too much
I've thought I'm gonna fuck this up
Yes, I wanna love but I do not
We've built up distances and got lost in differences
I'm so bored by this everyday life
Maybe we should change somehow something
Do you wanna change somehow something?
I climb
Now I fall
But at least I feel alive
I loved and I let go
I was with you and now I'm on my own
I was with you and still have felt alone
Ain't that sad?
I look away when your eyes meet mine
I was feeling down when you were feeling fine
I can't fight this feeling I've wasted your time
We want something else that we need to find on our own
The simplicity of this fact just tears me apart
We climbed and now we fall
But at least we are alive
We loved and we let go
We were one and now we're on our own
We've missed the chance of seeing something grow
Ain't that sad?

Orange Gold

These grey skies won't hit me
The answers for everything was never as simple/plain as now
With a love that blows up my chest
And a bliss that fills me up
Our spirits are entwined
A bond that's deeper than I guessed
I've never been that open, never been sure.
It's an unknown kind of strength
It's wide blue sky inside my heart that repaints the grey outside
There's something deep and pure growing here
Somehow scary and beautifully unreal
Let's keep shining in our warm orange gold
With you I'm ready to get old
I surely know I can give you shelter
I surely know I'm gonna be your safe haven
I surely know I'll arouse your brighter side
And will be your friend, your lover, your light
No filter...no fake
Bury our demons and our mistakes
There's something deep and pure growing here
Somehow scary and beautifully unreal
Let's keep shining in our warm orange gold
With you I'm ready to get...
With you I'm ready to get...
With you I'm ready to get old
I'm so ready
Never felt so ready
I feel so ready
'Cause our love is steady
Our love is steady
I know
And you know

Grateful

I've never been that grateful
I've never been that sure
I've never felt so alive
And I'm not insecure...anymore
All highs and lows
We can fully unfold
From the surface down to the core
Finally there's something to hold on to
Let's dwell in this love
It's too good to not being true
We fall in love with this love
It's too good to not being true
Now I know what it means to love
You and I are enough
I've never felt that strong
Even if our weaknesses overcome
There's nothing I wouldn't wanna share with you
There's so much that I wanna dare with you
Show me your darkest, show me your brightest
I want everything from you
Let's dwell in this love
It's too good to not being true
We fall in love with this love
I'm overcome of how you make me complete
And all those words
can't show what this love deserves
This is just a poor attempt
Oh my spirit, oh my heart, oh my soul just unfurls...
Let's dwell in this love
I'm overcomed of how you make me complete
