The Story Goes – EP

Two hearts, too tired being oceans away
Boisterous desire straddled over the bay
So they met, eager souls
Suited black, eyes like dolls
Those long legs wrapped in net which she fished him with

Up high where they floated
Carried merely by love
Clouds and sky like a mirror
Reflecting colours from above
They were free above white sand and blue sea

The moon was rising, so was wine in their glass
Sweet sound of strumming, the rhythm of the waves crash
As the village awoke
They threw over their cloak
Disguised as buccaneers they steal each other's heart

Up high where they floated
Carried merely by love
Samba drums, pied people
Reflecting colours from above
They were free above white sand and blue sea

Up high where they floated
Carried merely by love
Wanted to capture the moment
But time was putting them in cuffs
They were free above white sand and blue sea

Up high where they floated
Carried merely by love
Samba drums, pied people
Reflecting colours from above
They were free...

Wallowing in memories and I realize
Good things are future aspirations in disguise
All those good things will come to an end
Tell me how to come to terms with it and be content

They don't sell those trousers, that they had back then
My favorite Tv show changed its cast again
Friends will die on me, only memories
Even they get venomous sometimes
Will remain anything at all?

Oh yet again I wonder
How joy just turned to dust once more
The ease I felt for things gets number
I guess there's no way to ignore
All good things come to an end

All the things of quality used to last for years
Being wasted casually, being wasted fierce
Everything around me seems to lose its worth
Be it you, be it me, be it life, be it love, be it earth

Feels like all the hope I felt turns into despair
Things that thrilled me once they seem to get rare
Those balloons of chewing gum lifted me up into the air
Until I learned there's gravity that chained me to ground right there

Oh yet again I wonder
How joy just turned to dust once more
The ease i felt for things gets number
I guess there's no way to ignore
All good things come to an end

The magic of Christmas, that lasted until the day we learned the truth
The sheer grace of silence, yet the world finds its way back in and it persues
How could I keep my head up if all good things turn bad
Is there any cure to keep me from becoming a maniac
And I'd desperately hold on to love as I hope it will last
Let it last, let it last!

Oh yet again I wonder
How joy just turned to dust once more
The ease I felt for things gets number
I guess there's no way to ignore
All good things come to an end

Oh yet again I wonder
How joy just turned to dust once more
The ease I felt for things gets number
I guess there's no way to ignore
All good things come to an end

Ground zero, back again

My feet needed earthing
Alone there’s nothing left to gain
I should stop pretending
Your face facing mine
We’re speechless
Our eyes just pantomime
I don’t need this
At least that’s what I thought
I’m depending on you now
Thought I am walking on my own
You’re my crutch, anyhow
Won’t go risk to dare the unknown

You say, love is like a river
Ever changing as it flows
Like the earth I start to quiver
Knowing it is me who I oppose
Some say, love is like a river
Travelling so many miles
I’ll go with It, I’m no quitter
But I’ll need you when I dive

Yes, Still waters run deep
But my fears run deeper
I need calm sea to get my sleep
And yours as calm as a whisper
Need your clarity
‘Cos like waves I’m unsettled
Hold me down like gravity
I am torn, I am rattled
Love is just like the tide
Suddenly floods you
Once it sweeps you there’s no way to hide
Will you come for my rescue?

You say, love is like a river
Ever changing as it flows
Like the earth I start to quiver
Knowing it is me who I oppose
Some say, love is like a river
Travelling so many miles
I’ll go with It, I’m no quitter
But I’ll need you when I dive

Take tight hold of me my dear
Lend me your hand love
Why not hold on, just lie here
Watch those stars above
And your current will take me there
To those unknown places
For any storm we could prepare
No water is too contagious
‘Cos this love is like a drug
I need it, I crave it
But now i’m high my wits are shut
Pull me down to the planet

You say, love is like a river
Ever changing as it goes
Like the earth I start to quiver
Knowing it is me who I oppose
Some say, love is like a river
Travelling so many miles
I’ll go with It, I’m no quitter
But I’ll need you when I dive

We’re sitting here like every night
Heart next to heart
Mine’s cold, your’s light
Was it meant to be this way?
Was it meant to be like this?
And even if you laugh at me
Your every word’s like poetry
Was it meant to be this way?
Was I supposed to crave your kiss?

And your smile keeps the darkness out
And your vigour’s fighting every drought
You shine out of every crowd
There’s a light in your heart
Need this light in your heart
And now and then you fall apart
I’ll pick up the pieces and we’ll restart
And when I’m sightless through fog and dust
You’re the light in the dark
Through the light in your heart

You’re a moonhead flying around
I’m standing here both feet on the ground
Was it meant to be this way?
Was it meant to be like this?
It was you and me all along
Seen all our flaws and features that hide among
Were we meant to be this way?
Were we meant to seal our lips?
I’m afraid of loosing you
All this time you thrived and grew
I feel grey, you’re colorful
How can I be worth your kiss?
Felt seduced, felt paralyzed
Those hips, those legs, those eyes, those vibes
The story goes
Was it meant to be like this?

And your smile keeps the darkness out
And your vigour’s fighting every drought
You shine out of every crowd
There’s a light in your heart
Need this light in your heart
And now and then you fall apart
I’ll pick up the pieces and we’ll restart
And when I’m sightless through fog and dust
You’re the light in the dark
Through the light in your heart

Ups and downs, we’ve seen them
Hanging on this feeling
And even though we can’t see further
Your light will guide the way

And your smile keeps the darkness out
And your vigour’s fighting every drought
You shine out of every crowd
There’s a light in your heart
Need this light in your heart
