Sondre Lerche Album

Don't be ridiculous sweet darlin
Its so unlike you to be blue
You had â?˜em the moment you walked in
Everyone's rooting just for you
And every smile and every single grin
Conquers and captures their hearts and minds
You can't not win
Casting your spell,
So arresting, effortlessly flabbergasting
So far from what your suggesting
Girl that gaze is everlasting
So don't be a stranger little darling
Until forever we will root for you

So don't be ridiculous sweet darlin
Its so unlike you to be blue
You had â?˜em the moment you walked in
Everyone's rooting just for you
And every smile and every single grin
Conquers and captures their hearts and minds
You can't not win
Casting your spell,
So arresting, effortlessly flabbergasting
So far from what you're suggesting
Girl that gaze is everlasting
So don't be a stranger little darling
Until forever we will root
You won't ever get the boot
For forever we will root for you!

It's the pounding in the heart whenever you are gone without any trace
It's the breaking of the waves that were about to really carry someplace
It's a major minor detail
It's a solitary sequel to never knowing anything at all

It's the ticking of the clock when you wake up alone at seven AM
It's the thought of getting used to something so right and then just throw it away
It's a major minor detail
On a misty morning L train
And the fear of having to go back

You'll hear the piano sound
And know something turned around

It's the circus I bring on whenever I reach out to touch you my dear
It's the laws of our attraction and the fact that it's all going somewhere
It's a major minor detail
Like erasing that old ghost train
So one day I can be with you

You'll hear the piano sound
And know someone turned around

It's the morning after everything has dawned and I'm about to be late
The sun here on my left and that piano on the right is my date
It's a major minor detail
It's a soiltary sequel to never knowing anything at all

Across the land
Where I know I'm not within your field
On coal and iron
I am delicate like plastic
And I can't help but to tell you
I can't sleep if I can't wake you
Just to say I've nothing more to say
I just had to hear you once again

The days go by
Getting there and as I do
I know your days go on
While I'm living for a set of six songs

The night makes me feel so young
That's a routine I think you mean we've become
But that's all distant drops now

Would it be so wrong to tell you
How I've missed you since I left
What I say will come with a delay
And the rest I'll show you when I get home

You can tell me anything
You are a true exception in my life
It sounded like she said she was in love
I then told her all the things that I had though I better keep inside
All of which revealed I was in love

All I craved was the rest but that's a priveledge non-existent when the word is out and about

You think it's gonna settle down in a stable enviornment once you both know
But it isn't so when you're in love
If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't go back I wouldn't stand the torture that they call being in love

It won't get better
It won't get better
Embrace the curse so it doesn't get worse

Contemplating everything while doing nothing
On the verge of tears just because you are somewhat in love
I don't wanna be afraid and worry in the shade about the end
When I should be out being in love

But I'll need some proof
Won't you treat me to a dose?
Although I know so well
I can't tell

It won't get better
It won't get better
Embrace the curse so it doesn't get worse

You can tell me everything
I'm old enough to know where you have been
I couldn't ever fall out of our love
Fact and fiction look alike when such a lightning strikes
But I believe that I can face the curse of being in love

Did we get too tight or let the mystery puzzle reveal itself?
Now that you have other plans we were even closer than I could tell
But I'm not crying
Familiar with these strange realities

How does the moon shine?
How does the wind howl?
I can't defy it
It's nothing to do with me
It's just another dead end mystery

I'm not crying
I'm not crying

When the late, last caustic days approach somebody so immaculate
Rain will pour and violins may sound from rooftops that touch the sky
But I'm not crying
To terms with such a trying destiny

How does the moon shine?
How does the wind howl?
I can't defy it
Now everyone suggests getting some sleep
As if that's gonna solve a dead end mystery

I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping

Like the beat, beat, beat of the Tum-tum
When the jungle shadows fall.
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drop of the rain drops
When the summer shower is through.
So a voice within me keeps repeating
you, you, you.

Night and day.
You are the one.
Only you beneath the moon
under the sun.
Weather near to me or far
it’s no matter darling, where you are.
I think of you
night and day.

Day and night.
Why is it so
that this longing for you follows where ever I go?
And the roaring traffic’s boom
in the silence of my lonely room.
I think of you night and day.

Day and night.
Under the hide of me.
There’s an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment won’t be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you.
Day and night.
Night and day.

Night and day.
Under the hide of me.
There’s an oh such and oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me.
And its torment won’t be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you.
Day and night .
Night and
day.

Night and day.

There are so many things out there
So many stones to turn and stare at
I'm sure you're sorry but it's not enough to balance off
I can recall a happy song
But such a lot has turned out wrong
I'm only starting to appreciate how dark it got

Once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while everything was perfect
Till you dragged the cat in
Once in a while

Until you ask me to
I don't know what I'll do
I don't wanna drive you away
I don't wanna beg you to stay
But I can't forgive you till you ask me one day

I threatened I would pack my bags
How could you ever let that happen?
I'm sure you're sorry but you never showed regret
I can't provide the compliments
To ease your mind at my expense
I know you love me but I'd rather've found you cared back then

Once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while everything was perfect
Till you dragged the cat in
Once in a while

The more I see you
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh I become
More mad about you
More lost without you
And so it goes
Can you imagine
How much I love you
The more I see you
As years go by
I know the only one for me
Can only be you
My arms wont free you
And my heart wont try

Each time I look at you
Is like the first time
Each time youre near me
The thrill is new
And there is not a single thing I wouldnt do for
The rare delight of the sight of you
And there is not one single thing
I wouldnt do for
The rare delight of the sight of you
And the more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
And the more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
Everyday

I never thought of heaven as a relevant spot
I never questioned any of the tears or the raindrops
I was a bore, surrounded by doors that all lead to some other floor
And I who thought there wasn't more

You knocked me off my feet
You knocked me off my feet
Heaven is from where you have come
Now I know

I never thought I could reach out from under the stream
I never hoped to ever be a part of a dream
So if it can't be, the stories I'll tell will shelter me from a future in hell
But right now I make no sudden claims
Except saying heaven is real
You shouldn't think it couldn't be

You knocked me off my feet
You knocked me off my feet
Heaven is from where you have come
Now I'm safe

There is romance
And there is love
There are reports of a heart-robbing beauty whose victim I know
I can't hesitate or wait
'Cause I don't speak that language
I don't know that tone
I can't translate from right to wrong
I can just call it love
Yes, you heard right
I call it love

There is romance
And there is love
That seems to be the only system that they know of
But why be satisfied with only love
When there are games you should know of
Such as romance and turtledoves
Who wonder if it's love
I wanna call it love

Can we dance instead of walking?
We wanna break in to love's industry
Lie down where it's machinery slows down
When we've danced our socks off and it's late
We'll lie down to anticipate forever

When we romance
I feel a part
Of the loveliest human creature that I know by far
Who stays away from other boys
'Cause she knows where she's life or death or love
Where she is thought so highly of
Where someone calls her love
I wanna call it love

When we dance
Darling explosions!
We are chemistry without chemicals
A constant chain outside us both
Remember!
I've never felt so right before
And chances are it could be so
Can we dance instead of walking?
We wanna break into love's industry
Lie down where it's machinery slows down
When we've danced our socks off and it's late
We'll lie down to anticipate forever

There is romance that changes its course
Or just sad statistics I answer with anti-remorse
When I am satisfied don't tell me so
Just let me go on and on and on
And as I wake up by your side
I'll know that it is love
Or at least I call it love

Tell me, do something true
true love, you and me
that we're too busy living through,
too busy to see.

What is it, that we do
makes us who we are?
If we sing are we nightingales?
Shine are we stars?

Who are we,
What we've got?
Are we a fireworks show,
growing pale like a star that burned out years ago?
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone.
I find it hard right now
to name you one.
Tell me, do something true and drop the fairy tales.

If singing birds must sing with no question of choice
then living is our song.
Indeed our voice, best agree
you and me, we're probably nightingales.

God's a proud thundercloud
we are cartoon cats
we're the thing that is biblical
under our hats.

Who are we,
what we've got?
Are we a fireworks show,
growing pale like a star that burned out years ago?
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone.
I find it hard right now
to name you one.
Tell me, do something true and drop the fairy tales.

If singing birds must sing with no question of choice
then living is our song.
Indeed our voice, best agree
you and me, we're probably nightingales.

I'm not from here please help me out
I didn't grow up around here
Is it my eyes that give me away?
Or is it just the tears?

I shouldn't be so lost
But I know not what these things cost
So please let me be to you ever near
Although I'm not from here

I'm not from here excuse me please
Pardon my ignorance dear
I just don't get the lingo you speak
To me it all sounds greek

I shouldn't be so lost
But I never learned what these things cost
So please let me be to you ever near
Althought I'm not from here

You sure look swell
Don't let that faze you
No wrapping could replace you
You're a rare, dear mixture of love

You sure look swell
Don't let that lead you
That isn't why I see you
You're a rare, dear mixture of grace

I don't mean to lecture you dear
I just want to be perfectly clear
You amaze me whenever you're near
Oh, how do you do it, dear?

You sure look swell
Don't let that kill you
It takes much more to thrill you
You're a rare, dear mixture of wit

You sure look swell
Don't let that mute you
Cause all you say so suits you
You're a rare, dear mixture of words

I don't mean to lecture you dear
I just want to be perfectly clear
You amaze me whenever you're near
Oh, how do you do it, dear?

You sure look swell
Don't let that confused you
I can't resist or refuse you
Such a rare, dear mixture of you
