Simple Life 04:12
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

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 03:46
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 03:43
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
