I don't miss you, you drive yourself into the ground All that feeling is pushed out of thought behind sound Memory fading, nothing exists except now I won't ask you to stray from the path that you've found And I dream of Amsterdam And I slam that door shut Black and blue sky, wind pulls the snow into drifts Endless winter, you pull yourself over the rift Broken windows, burdens that you'll have to lift And I dream of Amsterdam And I know who I am Kneel down, kneel down I don't need to feel no more of this pain Sacred burning, I'll feel a little more sane Under water, it seems you're breathing just fine Hold your anger out on a pole in the wind Kneel down, kneel down And I dream of Amsterdam And I slam that door shut I know who I am I'll slam that door shut I know who I am

Oh woman, you and me are tied together by our own foolishness But you won't see me passing through the walls heavy with regret I don't have much to count on, just a dream of leaving here But when I come home to you, I wish that you were there Why aren't you happy to see me? What would it take to make you believe? A thousand years, a thousand miles could be the distance between us But somehow through that space you've grabbed me You were lucky when I found you, but you'll probably never know Maybe you'll feel the space I'm leaving you Why aren't you happy to see me? What would it take to make you believe?

Lagerman 06:12
I am lost on you, you can't hear me speaking Everything we've shared hasn't made us strong You are lost on me, numb without a feeling I'm living in my drink and staring at the burning embers Don't ever lose your love, girl Cos you are all I have I stare at the stars to try and feel better You are on the phone Laughing with someone You don't come to for me for love You don't come to me for nothing You don't come to me, you don't have needs Everything we've shared has been forgotten Don't ever lose your love, girl Cos you are all I have I know you are lost on me I want to know where you been tonight I know you been out fooling I let you go without a fight cos I had to I need to know if there'll ever be A place in your heart for what's left of me I know I'll fall back down on my own knees Fifty feet below, I can see the daylight It's so far above, I shout and sound reverberates down

Cathedral 02:51
Creep inside the doorway, you gotta be silent I can barely see I think I'll leave this stash here, do you think you heard a sound And I don't know what we're doing here tonight You're walking towards me and I'm fumbling for the light Rising as the ceiling rises, falling as a brick would fall Drop me into your cathedral, I will feel your sacred walls And I don't know what's waiting in here for me And this silence hangs heavy in the air In the grip of all of this mystery I'd believe you if you told me you were scared Break me open, break me down I feel this breaking all around Oh cathedral, here's my soul What it's worth, I don't know Break me open Oh cathedral

Someone's wearing her perfume, he quickly looks around the room If you stare at someone long enough, you can make them look like anyone On the TV, there's the Boss, he's singing like he bears the cross of all of those who've loved and lost and had to start again Statues held in stone embrace, he feels the red flush cross his face And if you give your heart away, you're never ever gonna get it back In the frame, her face is still His memory moves in for the kill And what he had but never will is all he needs tonight Oh - what is it you're reaching for? Oh - what is it you're running at speed towards? He calls her but the line is tied, the radio renews his pride He knows she's gonna think of him each time she hears this song And this his how his story goes, and how it ends up, well nobody knows And in the midst of night's dark throes, well he can feel the miles Oh - tell me what you're reaching for? Oh - tell me what you're running at speed towards? Well I hope it's not too little, and too late All I want is to make up for my mistakes I know I didn't listen when you needed me to I know I never cared enough to hear you through Maybe I'll never know how to give you what you need But if you need me, let me know and I'll come running at speed All I want is to get through All I want is to get through All I want is you
