Tonight

If I could hold you,
Just for tonight,
Birds watching,
As butterflies take their flight.
All around us they fly,
Everything disappears, but you and I.

If I could dream you,
Just for tonight,
I'd become friends with the moon,
And sing him lullabies,
Pray he never wakes,
Tomorrow doesnt come,
Until the very end,
I'll try to keep away the sun.

And Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.
Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.

If I could speak to you,
Just for tonight,
I'd loose the poetry,
Forget my english degree,
Oh I'll speak from my heart and confess,
That I did what i did to impress, you.

If I were to see you,
Just for tonight,
You may hear flashes,
Coming from my eyes,
As I capture you in my mind,
We may never meet again,
This maybe the only time.

And Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.
Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.

Happiness

I miscalculated our time together,
Punched in numbers of years,
That meant we'd last forvever,
And so I failed the exam, that fate set for us,
I lost love again in the pursuit of lust.

There goes another shot at happiness,
Its taken off like a rocket into space,
There goes another shot at happiness,
Bye bye, farewell, for you'll be missed.

I didn't appreciate you as much,
When I had you there with me,
I took pleasure in company,
I left you at home lonely,
And so I failed the exam, that fate set for us,
I lost love again in the pursuit of lust.




There goes another shot at happiness,
Its taken off like a rocket into space,
There goes another shot at happiness,
Bye bye, farewell, for you'll be missed.

I wish i'd spent more time learning about you,
So many questions left unanswered,
I cant decide between whats false and true,
I can see why you would want,
better than what I gave to you,
And so I failed the exam, that faith set for us,
I lost love again in the pursuit of lust.

There goes my last shot at happiness,
It disappeared in the dark, without a trace,
There goes my last shot at happiness,
Bye bye, farewell, for you'll be missed.

Make You Mine

Maybe its over,
Maybe I read too much into you,
Maybe its over,
And yet I dont regret telling you,
How could i?
When loving you is all i know to do.
Maybe its over for you,
But not for me.

I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
Someday.

Maybe its over,
Maybe we forget the rules this once,
Maybe its over,
And I provide a smile when you're down,
Or a shoulder to lean on.
Just because you're taken,
Doesnt mean we cant be together anymore.
Maybe its over for you,
But not for me.

I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
Someday.

I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
Someday.

Love and War

Her eyes,
Light up the moon,
Light up the moon,
In the afternoon.
I'm awake but I keep dreaming,
I keep dreaming of her with me.

Her lips,
They're worth a kiss,
They're worth a kiss,
But I dont dare to be,
The one who kisses them.

I've seen.
How the boys fall,
How she reduces them to puddles,
On the floor,
On the floor,
Lies another casualty of love and war.


Her laugh,
Like ecstasy,
Like ecstasy,
Working its magic in me.
She's a drug, no she's a revelation,
Some sort of potent concoction,
That makes my heart beat faster.




Her touch,
Can warm a soul,
Can warm a soul,
But I dont dare to be,
The one who holds her hand.

I've seen.
How the boys fall,
How she reduces them to puddles,
On the floor,
On the floor,
Lies another casualty of love and war.

On the floor,
On the floor,
Someone save me before she takes one more.

Ordinary Days - In english

I'm standing on building ledges,
I'm leaning outside my windowsill,
I'm walking city streets at night,
Ignoring the right or left,
I'm searching for purpose in traffic.
You see, the world is moving on,
But I'm still five steps behind everyone,
I'm still five steps behind everyone.
People say to put the past behind,
But I'm still convinced that you're the one,
I'm still convinced that you're the one.

And now my life hangs in the balance because of you,
I've surrendered my mind and soul to be with you,
I want to feel again, what I felt with you.
All the joy, all the pain, all the excitement you'd bring to my life.
(Its so ordinary without you.) x2
(Its so ordinary without you.) x2

I'm playing with fire,
I'm getting high on desire,
I'm drowing in alcohol,
The chemicals they take me way, from ordinary days.
With their help I hallucinate, and imagine your face.
You see, the letters say you're gone,
But I'm still five steps behind everyone,
I'm still five steps behind everyone.
People say to put the past behind,
But I'm still convinced that you're the one,
I'm still convinced that you're the one.

And now my life hangs in the balance because of you,
I've surrendered my mind and soul to be with you,
I want to feel again, what I felt with you.
All the joy, all the pain, all the excitement you'd bring to my life.
(It's so ordinary without you.) x2
(Its so ordinary without you.) x2

Giorni ordinari (Ordinary Days)

Sto sopra i cornicioni degli edifici
Sto aggrappata al davanzale della mia finestra
Cammino per le strade della città di notte,
Ignorando la destra o la sinistra,
sto cercando uno scopo/un obiettivo nel traffico,
Vedi, il mondo continua a girare( continua a muoversi)
Ma io sono ancora 5 passi indietro a tutti
sono ancora 5 passi indietro a tutti.
La gente dice di lasciare il passato alle spalle,
Ma io sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico
Sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico.







E ora la mia vita è in bilico per via di te
Mi sono arresa alla mia mente e dovrei stare con te
Voglio provare di nuovo, quello che ho provato con te
Tutta la gioia, tutto il dolore, tutta l'emozione che tu hai donato alla mia vita.
( E' così ordinario senza te. )x 2
( E' così ordinario senza te. )x 2

Sto giocando con il fuoco,
Il mio desiderio si accende,
Sto affogando nell'alcohol,
I medicinali mi portano via, dai giorni comuni.
Con il loro aiuto ho le visioni, e immagino il tuo viso.
vedi, le lettere dicono che tu te ne sei andato
Ma io sono ancora 5 passi dietro a tutti
sono ancora 5 passi dietro a tutti.
la gente dice di lasciare il passato alle spalle
ma io sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico
sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico.

e ora la mia vita è in bilico per via di te/ per causa tua
Mi sono arresa alla mia mente e dovrei stare con te,
Voglio provare di nuovo,quello che ho provato con te
tutta la gioia, tutto il dolore, tutta l'emozione che tu hai donato alla mia vita
( E' così ordinario senza te. ) x2

Parachute me down

Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I'am afraid up of being up there in clouds.
In dreamland the fall is greater,
Than the show our imagination puts on.

Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I'am afraid up of being up there in clouds.
Its a kaleidoscope world,
With bright lights flashing all around.

Yes.

I've been fooled before, fooled by my mind.
I've been fooled before, fooled by my eyes.
I've seen things before, that really arent mine.
I've fallen in this trap of yours, time after time.









Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I'am afraid up of being up there in clouds.
In dreamland the fall is greater,
Than the show our imagination puts on.

Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I dont want to be up there in clouds.
