SEVEN - FOCUSED (ALBUM LYRICS)

 

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

Click another day

Take a shower, use the one towel

The clothes are on the floor and CD’s crammed under my bed

A TV, a little kitchen

No visitors, nohanging out, so many nights on my own

It was my one room flat

Creating, realizing, no safety, no guarantee

Just me, me, just me and my phone

Diggin’ in my fantasies to turn ideas into reality

This is just another day, another day, keep your head up boy

Kids playin’ in the backyard

I am on the floor, whatever I want,I go out and try

No reaction or images to be afraid of

Just be, just be and no other me in between

Diggin’ in my fantasies to turn ideas into reality

This is just another day, another day, keep your head up boy

No pressure, no expectations

My mistakes surround me without resistance

Just another day

Keep your head up boy

Diggin’ in my fantasies to turn ideas into reality

This is just another day, another day, keep your head up boy

ON&ON                                                                                                            

I didn’t believe that this was possible

I can be myself and not afraid no more

You make it happen girl, you make me lose my tears

When I’m with you I conquer all my fears

My energy is back my eyes shine again

I know my dream is being your man

I can walk by a mirror without a cry

I’m safe, I’m done, it’s you and I

I just be good to you

Girl just be good to me

Let’s make some history

Keep it smooth and get it on and on and on

I just be good to you

Girl just be good to me

Let’s make some history

Keep it smooth and get it on and on and on

Right next to you is were I belong

And I sing for you song after song

It’s you I see in my sweetest dream

You show me what love really means

I‘ve never ever been so sure before

I stopped tryin‘ to be I don’t lie no more

Destroy the cage that I was livin in

You‘re my love you‘re my joy you‘re my best friend

Chorus

I will be good

I will be good

I make it so damn good for you

Chorus

------------------------------------

LIKE A ROCKET

A journey which begins and a goal which seems in reach
The road slowly starts to claim time without taking any breaks
Step by step, step by step

We move through the forest of memories
Every year seems to fly by faster and faster, faster and faster, faster and faster

Every word cannot be stuffed into a pocket?

Time is flying like a rocket

What remains is the search for a destination
This will remain just out of reach

Your heart should tell you how to use it, not the shadows of past deeds

The next players will swim against the tide of emotion and pain 
Different and yet always thesame again and again
 

Every word cannot be stuffed into a pocket?

Time is flying like a rocket

------------------------------------

LET ME BE                                                                                                                                               

Let me be all you’ve ever dreamed of

Let me be your life

Let me be all you’ve ever dreamed of

Just relax and enjoy, just enjoy, just enjoy

I know that you want it too

I can feel it

You’ve been hurt so many times

That you cannot believe it

I understand it

Cause I feel the same

But look at me

And you will never ever no more complain

Chorus

For me better than any movie

Is to look at you when you’re asleep

The little noises of you

Are the most beautiful songs to me

When my hands touch your skin

I am gone

I don’t need anymore, anymore,

I want you

The way you want me

Chorus

------------------------------------

GO SLOW

Listen, everyone’s bothering

Cause everyone bothers me

Everyone’s diggin’ me

And everyone’s callin’ me

Everyone’s chasin’ me

Everyone is racin’ with me

I just wanna stay away and stop that wasting me

I don’t wanna be the one

I don’t wanna be your son

I just wanna surf the notes

And all I want is my life go slow..

my life go slow my life go slow

All I want is my life to go slow

I sit between trees and bees

The world is like meltin’ cheese

I wish everything could freeze

Just one day all alone with me in peace

I realise I start to hide

Reaction is built in advance inside

It’s a task not to wear a mask

And make you believe every day, that everyday is just a blast

I don’t wanna be the one

I don’t wanna be your son

I just wanna surf the notes

And all I want is my life go slow..

my life go slow my life go slow

All I want is my life to go slow

Chorus

------------------------------------

I KNOW

Keep on believing, burning

Keep on holding, confirming

We are loving and praying

We mean what we’re saying

I put all in one basket

I answer all that you are asking

This family is reality

Since the day we met

I know that you’ve been hurt before

I know that you deserve it all

I know that this is what you’re dreaming of

Since the day we met

You made me, you taught me

You brought me and you caught me

We are a team that we trust in

Together we are walking

Nothing will stop us from dreaming

Cause our love is my meaning

This family is reality

Since the day we met

I know that you’ve been hurt before

I know that you deserve it all

I know that this is what you’re dreaming of

Since the day we met

I SHOULD                                                                                                                             

I should not be thinking, I should not still feel so small

I should know it better that fighting is not fine at all

So why am I just still thinking about what I did

and about how I did fail

Destiny show me please

Oh show me please

The right way to stay the same

Why am I still lookin’ for mistakes I could have done

I should stop believin’ that I must be like everyone

I had to break out to survive and stop tearing me down

I must learn to be proud of my life

All the bad conscience in me,  I’m too blind not to see

There’s still fresh blood on the knife

I should not think about you no more

I should just be blessed, just be blessed

This bad conscience is still makin’  me feel  pain

There are moments I cannot escape

I should not be thinking about those moments I felt so sure

I should rather look back

and see those I have been so insecure

I need to delete all those pictures my dreams painted me

and stop to blame myself

You never knew me well, you didn’t really care

You were in love with someone else

I know I am home now and my path is shining bright

But so many years  pulled me down and cried at night

Now I must learn to believe that  I am who I am

and I sure don’t have to change

No tears behind my smiles

There’s no play and no movie,  I won’t rearrange

I should not be thinking of

I should not be dreamin’ of, I sure should not be

I should not be holdin’ on, on how it was

What I did wrong, how it could have been

------------------------------------

YES                                                                                                           

Forget what you expect cause life is way ahead of you

Stop to plan your feelings, feeding fear is all you do

Dive into your wish and let the light be your leader

That’s the way you should treat her

You both win or you both lose, so enjoy life as a team

Just the mind divides reality from your dream

Stop to look for reasons that love will never have

And walk your shining path

I just lost you on and on and now you‘re laying here

All we had to do is face and fight our fear

Now we feel that both of us just really want to stay

Holding you in my arms and yes is what we say

Fear covers joy and multiplies your doubt

but trust is what our relationship is all about

Leave the past behind, tomorrow is up to you

Just enjoy life, that is all you have to do

To help each other gives you all you need

So say what’s in you, like that you will proceed

Don’t believe it’s up to you where you will go

Just be true and destiny will show

Chorus

------------------------------------
 

RUNNING                                                                                                                             

Got to, gotta be smarter

Got to, gotta be faster

I am, I am ahead, I am just one step ahead

The force turns me into a soldier

Everyone wants to say „I told ya“

You won’t get me

You won’t hit me

You won’t bang me out of your city

Keep on running, I just keep on running

And everybody all around is running with me

I am, I am a fugitive

Oh please, won’t you let me live

I know, know you’re after me

But I won’t, won’t set your wishes free

My sneaks are on fire

My cheeks they hide a liar

You won’t get me

You won’t hit me

You won’t bang me out of your city

Keep on running, I just keep on running

And everybody all around is running with me

We will get you, get you

No!!

Keep on running

I don’t want no more

I just lay down on the floor

I can’t take it anymore

------------------------------------

LISA

Rain pours down on a small cottage in a forest

Wind rattles the windows

Three rooms, a kitchen and a garden with potatoes and carrots

In the morning Lisa awakens in a scentof yesterday’s meal

Does anybody wonder how does Lisa feel

Why is Lisa so alone, I don’t know

The steam of bread rises up from the small chimney
Lisa has pale thin skin, black hair,

a brown, knee-length dress covers her tired and meek body

The worn fingers are black from the oven

and the palms are withered by the garden.

Does anybody wonder how does Lisa feel

Why is Lisa so alone, I don’t know

Lisa cooks, cleans, potters around, sleeps and cries.

Nobody knows she exists, only the wind enters her house
Lisa’s alone, must that be or where does one belong in Lisa's world?

Why is Lisa so alone, I don’t know

------------------------------------

GOLDEN STAIRS

Oh this is the last song I wrote for you

Please never forget that there is someone who cares

I did learn to cry, hate, love and hurt

Now I’m sitting all alone on golden stairs

On golden stairs, on golden stairs

Ten years of pain, love and tragedy

Are coming to an end

God has a reason why he puts us, why he puts us through this cave

I hear your broken voice for hours

And we need to try to hang up

I will pray every night

For you to be alright and to be safe

Chorus

To love is easy

But to like is rare and makes it strong

You always filled up every room

And I was fascinated like a kid

Hundreds I wrote and I will sing them for all my life

But this might be your last song

Pictures I had, plans I saw through the night

And now we finally split

Chorus

Tears wash my face, loves run down my skin

Who will fill up this space

There is no more you, just him

Chorus

------------------------------------

BORN AND RAISED               
                                                                                            

You give me something I never had before

I always had to fight for love

But you take me the way I am

You even go further, you make me the man I am

Girl I love you the way you love me

And I will never ever go away

I was born and raised in your eyes, in your eyes

You open my soul every day again

You did wipe out the fear in my life

For the first time I see a real family

And I see kids and I see a wife

Girl I love you the way you love me

Please never ever go away

I was born and raised in your eyes, in your eyes

Girl I love you the way you love me

And never ever go away

I was born and raised in your eyes, cos I was born and raised in your eyes

I just want to thank you girl

Chorus
