giv mig min fremtid, det er dig der har den gemt
giv mig det indhold, du har liggende et sted

Når du fortæller, hvad du tror du er
kan du så se, at du har brug for mig?
men du slører dine nederlag, dækker hvor du faldt
hvad farve har din virkelighed? Hvad vej fører hjem?

giv mig den fremtid, du fik lovet mig.
giv mig lidt indhold, du kan gøre det så nemt

giv mig din fremtid, det er alt hvad jeg vil
giv mig mit indhold, det er dig der skal til

Og når vi vågner sammen, i morgengryets grå
filtret ud af drømmesyn, flettet ind i ben
så husk selvom du lovede alt, mens det var mørkt
så gælder kun det, der bliver sagt i morgenlys

men jeg er din fremtid, jeg er alt du drømmer om
jeg har dit indhold, det er mig, der gør dig til den du er

du er min fremtid, du er alt jeg drømmer om
du har mit indhold, det er dig, der gør mig til den jeg er

Lyt:

I once said things,
Turning out to be
More true than ever known

Welcome greetings from left behind
Hundreds of postcards never send
Pictures of mornings, highways and hills
I once said things, I once said things

I once said things,
Turning out to be
More real than ever hoped

The sky burns traces of dust,
The winter cravls up on the hill
Fingers, noses, toes freezes on kids
I once said things, I once said things.

I once said things,
Turning out to be
More than i have ever dared to dream

Wine and talk and dinner drugged
Tiles on the wall, fries on the side
Pointless laughter and slicecutting edge
I once said things, I once said things

I once said things,
Turning out to be
More.

Fly me to the moon and let me play along the stars.
(let me see what spring i like, on jupiter and mars.)
In other words, please be true.
In other words;
I love you.

chorus
Stretching time.
Make minutes last ages, days take years. but they slip like sand anyway.
Like that day.
It’s gone. But it is still there, did you know?
You didn’t get it, I know.
You got it all, but you didn’t get it.
Stretching time. To make it last.

Hungry fingers against my face.
In the shadow behind curtains
Nails as claws, ripping skin, so soft
dripping sweat leaving crumpled time behind us.
softness in your eyes, when you tore the minutes apart.
tender lips, teeth and thighs and you, you and me

Bridge
Silence wasn’t quiet in the shadows behind my curtains
you took my hand, you took my hand

chorus

And then time was gone, and had come.
And as you were leaving me
credits rolling up in my mind.
‘The end’ it said and we kissed promises of time
And you held me. Buried my face in your hair and held.
For millions of minutes in my doorway.

Stretching time – demo

How about it, do you dare
Show me your demons, let them breath air
they might be as lethal as in your worst fear
but it might be worth it – bring them out here
kill them in the sun, kill them in the sun!

Even if you dont like what they say
They’ll tell you anyway
screeching yells or subtle whisper
and they will darken your mind with their play

How about it….

Jeg mumler et goddag,
mens solen skærer skiver af minutter
og lunser af mudrede fodspor henover stier.
Og stauder bøjes af overskudsfugt
og glidende blade i gult.

Jeg hvisker et godnat
mens november flirter med vinteren
og jeg farver min sommer farvel.

I mumble my hello
sun slicing minutes and steps in the mud
drips of water, leaves glow
branches dripping slippery yellow flood

I whisper my goodnight
while November air flirts with winter days
in declining light
I colur my summer farewell in grace

omkv

(I am)
eating faith, kissing time, drinking minutes, breathing years
(I am)
seconds made of crystal, holding what disappears
being here being now
knowing me knowing now
living on

In The Fall (trio – live in studio)

and I promised, I promised to give you the world
and mountains and beaches
and rivers and lakes
gold and glory
and everything (in it)

The air is so thin, here in the heights
I can’t catch my breath
Suffocating when I breath
The rocks are cutting deep in me
fingers dripping blood
My stinging eyes are burning out
They stopped me right before the mountain did,
So it turned out, it was not mine to give

but I promised, I promised to give you the world
and mountains and beaches …

How hard can it be?
Keep breathing and moving feet one by one.
How hard can it be?
Keep breathing. Keep breathing. Keep breathing.

You know what happens when boy meets girl
clichés lining up
I cannot climb any higher than this
I am not good enough
No mountain, no beach, no river, no lake
Just me and my hand
I need you, will you carry me now?

yeah, I know, I promised the world
and mountains and beaches …

I’m not there and you’re not here
Steamy thoughts was way to clear
Single cup of tea
erases you and me

What did you expect from me?
Should I drink your fucking tea?
Tealeaves soaking in the deep
telling you of what to keep
porcelain with glace?
me in empty space?
silver spoon in hand
I don’t understand

I’m not there…

While you talked you looked at me
with a sobbing, soaking plea
You knew exactly what you had
You loved the way I drove you mad
Lumps of sugar in
No-one was to win
but I’m just a man;
I don’t understand

I’m not there…

I don’t have a single clue
why I even fell for you
I don’t even wanna say
nothing good about that day
nothing comes for free
but this cup of tea
all you do is moan
with an itchy tone

I’m not there…

I’m not here and you’re not there
my conclusions seems quite clear
I just want to tell you this
I don’t even like your kiss
nothing comes for free
and I don’t like tea
Call me if you need
to get up in speed!

I’m not there…

Met her that day and saw
Pain in her eyes. Darkness

She held my hand to long
bought two coffees to go (she asked me)
told her to let me know

Butterfly,
caught my eye,
don’t know why you fly

Thought that she dared and that
she didn´t wear blindfold

when she walked in into
to the light that he held (she told me)
to his words and his spell

Butterfly. ..

He looked just right, she said
Could not believe her luck

And she thought she did not
But she did anyway (she told me)
Her mistake was to stay

Butterfly…

No one said no out loud,
no one cried out. Should she?

Who would have cared if she
was the one to get burned (she told me)
just a lesson to learn

Butterfly…

(listen – choose ‘Butterfly’)
