@SONG: The Next Time

I try my best to understand
These things you have to say
But even when you lie in bed
You seem so far away

I pray that I'll behold again
I try to make
An image of the perfect world
These chains just won't break

I try my best to get it through
I still need you here
Every time we get to touch
It still won't make it clear

The nights are getting longer
The years wearin' on
We are running all the time
The next time's just begun

@SONG: Where I Should Be

I know where I should be
But I know I'm dead
I know where I should be
But I know I'm dead

You mess me up
You mess me up

I know where I should be

@SONG: Fado

I talk to you in pictures
You answer me with stories
They're someone else's stories
You never had a thing
that you could call your own

People will lie
I'm used to that
I heard you whisper something
You weave words on a thread
And I feel your smile
inside my head
