Saker man ser - Things You See

Here under water I am blue
in the pool the world smells like chlorine
was it you that held too tight ?
or is it me that is too weak ?
was it you that got too wet ?
or is it me that is too slippery ?

My skin is white under my wristwatch
Down under the winter never ends
was it you that held too tight ?
or is it me that is too weak ?
was it you that got too wet ?
or is it me that is so slippery ?

It's just things that you see
It's just things that you know...

Thoughts freeze solid
I run with all my strength
You can lie behind
until your tears have dried
I leave everything I have
for a minute of warmth

I am black and white inside.

Everything I wanted to say
I forgot tonight
Everything I wanted to be
I kept always to myself.....

I bit my tongue when you smiled.

Is that you there
or is that someone who resembles you somewhere?

And when we see each other around
It is through your
Righteous blue
I even looked at myself
Through your eyes
And I hate it so....

you, you, you make me whole.

My indie-heart pounds and pounds and pounds. . .

Give me a winter-drug
Give me all you’ve got

You gave me a chance to tell you
all the things I never said
You gave me a chance to give you
all the things I never gave you


The small small words are hard words
and the hard words are simple words

You stroke your fingers
lightly against my cheek

It's not the shadows by the red lights
that makes my skin crawl late at night.
It's your quiet heart and your silence
as your teardrops stain my sheets.

She is waving out of the window,
her smile is red as a wound.
And my quiet heart goes to pieces.
It's been a lonely year in this room,
and I will not ignore you like before.
My january promises are more than words softly spoken.

And everything I told you was stolen from a book.
I read something about kisses in a science magazine.
Something they can't capture in the sweetest movie scenes.

Now I found a way to make you smile
Pretending I am someone else
Cause I really missed your smile
More than I missed myself
You found a way to keep it inside
To a point where you can't feel a thing
And silence suits us fine
Cause we are not listening
No, we're not listening

And you tried to tell me how you feel.
I couldn't hear you say a thing.
You tried to tell me how you feel.
I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening.

I tried so hard to make you smile.

It's been a lonely year in this room.

like a child with tears in his eyes
you've made me weak

And then comes that feeling
that sneaking feeling
the only one I can't do anything about
then I close the soul
squeezing it to death
and find a heavenly drug
and then comes that feeling
am I the only one
who never understands?

do you see what I see?
I'm almost like you
