this is how 04:47
this is how we find ourselves this is how we share the flame this is how we fall in love and share a kiss under the rain this is how we fool ourselves this is how we share the blame this is how we now hold on and share a kiss before the rain

there's no way around this fight into the sea we dive against the waves we ride we're moving the world
3.
back to you 07:24
if I keep saying to myself that I don't want a chance with you if I had a thousand times to choose it'd still be over then tell me why I do not care for anyone but you I'm always down and you have nothing more to do but to give me a lie and I'll be coming back to you

standing here motionless no word can rhyme trapped in the same routine most of the time used to buy what they sell and do it their way surely they like you take a part in the play the flaws of this world have left a stain in your mind the essence of what you do is now hard to find but turning things upside down depends on a state how well can you hold inside a dream of escape our soul is a blaze and love's what is burning for we never fall for what they claim they know we are the angels of change straight to the shore we go to douse our hearts that have began to glow and we are moving to let it go so now is the time with eyes that shine within there's fire burning and now is time we let it go and there is nothing that can stop us now nothing can keep us down
6.
there's no power forcing me to be more than I really am my time is here my place is now eternity could only hold me still this moment is the only thing I own my body my music my soul take your time to invent my needs while I let music spin me around and the rain fall on me

until then 02:07

dacron days 06:23
to spend the days sharing the one thing in life she loves doing the most to feel the energy, the speed, the waves moving under her feet awaken by the morning breeze the air-call brings her to the sea where colourful, giant, wounded butterflies are waiting for the wind to lift them from the surface of the water and send them spinning to the horizon a moment to realise the splendid feeling of freedom I'm engaged in and the fact that she is faster than me
9.
when I met you I was moving like a blind arrow shot in time of need I was flint-sharp, flint-primitive I was aim, arrow and target I wanted to be wounded again I did not want to seal myself against life I'd rather be cut than dry is everything in this life about love or its lack I wanna touch you, I want the sweat of skin salt and blood are better remedies than talk no talk found me the spell the need of you and the touch of you found me the spell time passed, it always does in the white room there are no clocks the white room is a lover's room and we keep time on the run how long have I got I don't know the beating heart of our love may stop at anytime how can we hold what cannot be held how can we measure what cannot be known how long is a spell but though you enchant me I am not enchanted I'm free the white room is a place of freedom
10.
the ride 01:49
11.
there's no intention in my words to tell you where this love should lead I'm feeling deep inside the time has come to wonder and it's bringing me down now that life turns around together are we meant to be please tell me you are sure this love can't be over
