[Verse1] Friday you were in love You told me I was the one turning your world upside down How come I see you standing here with both feet on solid ground? On Sunday it was as if You looked right through me, no recall at all Well, I’m not playing this game of yours just to increase your ego [Pre-Chorus] Treating people like marionettes, they dance for you [Chorus] Me ‘nd Jakyll’n’Hyde Experimental coexistence failed I should’ve seen your green eyes Woohohooo Gotta know that I’ve tried But we won’t build a home on “forgive ’n forget” Me ‘nd Jakyll’n’Hyde Woohohooo [Verse2] On Monday you were sorry Tried to get into my heart by breaking down it’s lock Could you spare me your issues, please, I ain’t got no time for that On Wednesday you forgot To bring the flowers you‘d promised me on Monday Again it‘s Friday, the only thing flourishing round here is your ego [Pre-Chorus] You ask yourself “Oh why Do people turn away from me?” [Chorus] Me ‘nd Jakyll’n’Hyde Experimental coexistence failed I should’ve seen your green eyes Woohohooo Gotta know that I’ve tried But we won’t build a home on “forgive ’n forget” Me ‘nd Jakyll’n’Hyde Woohohooo [Bridge] You see me going See me walking head up high You feel the envy crawling up your spine You see me turning See me dancing with my feet in the clouds You feel envy crawling up your spine [Pre-Chorus] And you ask yourself: “Oh why?” “Oh why?” [Chorus] Me ‘nd Jakyll’n’Hyde Experimental coexistence failed I should’ve seen your green-eyes Woohohooo Gotta know that I’ve tried But we won’t build a home on “forgive ’n forget Me ‘nd Jakyll’n’Hyde Woohohooo

[Verse1] (You say) I know that feeling, darling I totally hear you I felt the same way And I‘ve been through this, too.

 I know these expressions, I‘ve heard them a lot. Still they‘re of no advantage to me They don‘t form the answer, Won‘t make it less hard or even better
 [Pre-Chorus] No one can see, no one can feel What it‘s like to be stuck in here Now that I‘m in I can barely imagine what it‘s like from the outside looking in
 [Chorus] Hide in the shadows Cover up anxieties Go blame the shadows For your uncertainty
 For banning colors from your sight Stop pretending! You just blame the shadows [Verse2] I have to admit that it was rude You say "Fresh eye never hurts“, at least one thing was true Get out off my way I don‘t need The idle talk of yours 
[Pre-Chorus] No one can see, no one can feel What it‘s like to be stuck in here
 [Chorus] Hide in the shadows Cover up anxieties Go blame the shadows For your uncertainty 
For banning colors from your sight Stop pretending! You just blame the shadows 
 Don‘t you blame the shadows!
 [Bridge] In the blackest cave You see the brightest light In every grey sky Somewhere there‘s blue to find Don‘t be so color-blind Don‘t be so color-blind
 [Chorus] Lighten the shadows Brighten up dubiety Color the shadows Bring the best outta what you see 
Liife‘s not only black and white Stop pretending! You‘re color-blind

Home To Our Hearts 03:45
lyrics

[Verse1] Somehow she ended up rain-soaked and all alone Expecting him to speak the truth she knew all along He’s coming clean, confirming fears, relief and defeat Possessing her within a breath, she knew all along [Pre-Chorus1] Tied up in knots she can hear her heart pumping blood through her veins His words are lifting this burden from her shoulders She’s breathing [Chorus] It lies within us, the home to our hearts The inner compass is home to our hearts A pulse so strong we just cannot ignore The knowledge that we cannot lose it all [Verse2] For so long he locked his thoughts away, deep down inside Swore not to harm the special bond they have, it’s just not right But he can’t get his eyes off of her, it’s driving him insane “I had to tell you, I’m such a mess, I’m sorry I lied!” [Pre-Chorus2] Clocks are standing still, the tension’s sending a cold chill down his spine Her voice is lifting the weight off his shoulders He’s breathing [Chorus] It lies within us, the home to our hearts The inner compass is home to our hearts A pulse so strong we just cannot ignore The knowledge that we cannot lose it all [Bridge] We’re not lost It lies within us [Chorus] It lies within us, the home to our hearts The inner compass is home to our hearts It lies within us, the home to our hearts The inner compass we can rely on A pulse so strong we just cannot ignore The knowledge that we cannot lose it all

Name Of The Game 03:33

[Verse1] Driving into the sunset A broken city left behind Running into the dark Knowing there’s no sleep in sight Got nothing to loose yet We hold our hopes up high Running into the darkness See you on the other side [Pre-Chorus] The skyline’s getting closer My mind is taking over [Chorus] Yeah, blow it all off That’s the name of the game Buzz is what the fuss is all about You know, some thing’s never change Yeah, let’s get rough That’s the name of the game Buzz is what the fuss is all about You know, some thing’s never change [Verse2] The joyful rush of crashing glass When the thrill’s beyond compare We know this feeling might not last Join us if you dare Stumbling over the ashes Not even acting, we don’t care Gasoline is in the air The world awaits us, and we’ll be there [Pre-Chorus] The skyline’s getting closer My mind is taking over [Chorus] Blow it off That’s the name of the game Buzz is what the fuss is all bout You know, some thing’s never change Let’s get rough That’s the name of the game Buzz is what the fuss is all bout You know, some thing’s never change [Bridge] Don’t call it into question Don’t call it raving madness Don’t call it into question The spirit Of expression Don’t call it Veiled sadness Don’t call it Veiled sadness [Chorus] Yeah, blow it all off That’s the name of the game Buzz is what the fuss is all about You know, some thing’s never change Yeah, let’s get rough That’s the name of the game Buzz is what the fuss is all about You know, some thing’s never change

Golden Hour 03:13

[Verse1] Eyes on the road, the wheel in your hands Tiny freckles behind shades Hair floating in the wind, warm light on pale skin Your hands are reaching for mine, The air is golden [Chorus] The perfect moment is already gone But somehow endless [Verse2] The white walls in my room Tired eyes under the sheets Afraid of the thunder, which might never come Your hands are reaching for mine, And the air becomes golden [Chorus] The perfect moment is already gone but Somehow endless For such a thing I‘ve been searching so long There‘s nothing like this It‘s the Golden hour, babe You‘re my golden hour, you are [Interlude] All this struggle that we have to solve All this fear and the pain we oppose Every time you helped me through It was a rough year But somehow we made it [Chorus] The perfect moment is already gone but Somehow endless For such a thing I‘ve been searching so long (But) There‘s nothing like this It‘s the Golden hour, babe You‘re my golden hour, you are

Out Of Here 03:36
lyrics

[Verse1] Hey you, where do you come from? Is it a town like mine where they have No clue they are living the exact same lives? Did you move From the same old spot in your father’s chair? Or approve of having the same view, The same vision as them [Chorus] The lights of this city, they may be bright I gotta get outta here I need more, more I want more [Verse2] Oh I know Industrial romance can be mesmerizing But there is A whole world waiting on the other side Come on! The world belongs to those who are brave enough to change it The world belongs to those who are brave enough to change it [Chorus] The lights of this city, they may be bright But I gotta get outta here My mind gets so lazy, the smog makes me blind I need to get outta here I need more, more I want more [Bridge] I close my eyes Let go just for a moment Drowsy mind Surrender to the numbness I close my eyes Breathe in, deeply Fill my lungs [Chorus] The lights of this city, they may be bright But I gotta get outta here My mind gets so lazy, the smog makes me blind I need to get outta here I need more, more I want more
