Last Goodbye 02:44
lyrics
Last Goodbye Thought I'd lost you without any reason Sure I don't know you I talked while you were sitting still (My last goodbye) I thought I'd love you anyway (My last goodbye to you) Without any reason (My last goodbye forever) I have gone away today (My last goodbye to you) you're still there I am not an angel, don't even look like one Sometimes I kick your ass And break your heart for fun But at most times I feel sick… with a good reason: Never meant to hurt you anyway But I did Are we gonna be as one? Will it still be so much fun? When we sit around for hours And talk the night away Tell me, is breaking up so much fun? This is my last goodbye to you! [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2001 ]

Girl Upstairs 03:33
lyrics
Girl Upstairs I was longing for a caress from you I wanted to stay beside you - but that time was up to you The sun is shining in any other place but here You want to be there. Not with me, that was my fear... I stayed in my room, waiting for your call. You were late as always. I'm gonna fall... I have to see you five days a week The first one's over, that's okay, at least for me. You left me here. With myself. You're gone away. What's left to say? I wanna be sarcastic. Oh, how nice you look! But instead I shake like I never shook. We still have things to talk about. But if you would regret it, I would never know... I'm still waiting for the answers. You know the questions. It's your turn... [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Mine's Left Burning 03:26
lyrics
Mine's Left Burning It's the seventh day I'm alone now, I still can't understand The end came unexpected, Just when I thought it'd never come Now I'm sitting here in this cellar That used to be my room And everything's so unfamiliar Without you I remember the moment You aimed your gun at my high hopes With words like bullets... As I tried so hard not to cry Free fall into a world without you, A million miles above the ground I try to close my eyes But you're still there, you're everywhere - The air I breathe is still so full of you Back then I felt this could be forever But now I know that I was wrong From what was once our love Only mine's left burning And your memory still fans the flames [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Description 02:58
lyrics
Description I like to look around, I like to watch life passing me by, I always sit around, and then I feel my emotions die I sometimes feel alone, and wonder for the worst to come But when I'm on my own, I recognize the faults that I've done I want to give myself a description of what I feel Sometimes I ask myself How Do I Feel? I like to get to know how can these thoughts keep me down, I would like you to know I beg for pardon when I'm on my own Again I wonder why How can I deal with my mind? I like to run away, but where to go? I don't know what to find I want to... [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Lifetime Long Long Time Gone 03:10
lyrics
Lifetime Long Long Time Gone I'm not writing to you Just for myself We know what we had We know what we shared The last time we met I was killed by the brew (you know that) Do you wanna play hardball with me? A lifetime long Gone, since we met (Can you see I'm down on my knees Live my life without you Or anyone) We went our separate ways Different direction Every time I see you I've got to think it through But it happens only in those few empty days... Do you wanna play... [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Postscript 03:28
lyrics
Postscript I've spent half my life not listening to you tried everything not to please you at all. But today I know you still loved me. Seems we're better friends since you're gone. I watch myself fooling around, breaking promises and hearts, days of joy and nights of sorrow - (tell me) what would you say now? Would you like my girlfriend? Would you come to our shows? Would you be proud of your son? I remember the time your face got earnest: "I'm older now than my father got." I still wonder if I'll ever have to see the day that I'm the one to say that to a child of mine. Will we ever meet again and will we be friends then? So many times I didn't talk to you, so many things I'd like to tell you now. Would you... I don't know if you can hear me - this song is for no one but you. Would you like my girlfriend? Would you come to our shows? Would you be proud of your son? Would I even care? [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

This Song 03:52
lyrics
This Song So now we're back, back on track - but not together as we used to be In the same room but far apart - Apathy where once the fire warmed our hearts And I wonder what you think when you see me standing there There's so much I want to tell you but you don't even seem to care The night's too long, I can't go home, I hear the laughter in the air around you Congratulations, you seem okay - Don't care about me cause I'll be fine someday And I'm asking myself why I'm still wondering what you feel But disappointment guides my search for the path that's leading right away from you This song can't say everything you broke in me But this chord shall ring in your ears until I cried my last tear for you [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Mean 04:19
lyrics
Mean One of those days again I'm writing too slow to let my thoughts get in this piece of paper I wanna fill All the songs have been written some time ago And they're not mine I love them still And I'm still listening to them, trying to understand what they mean to me They figured it out while I'm trying to find out what they mean to me One day I'm gonna write a song they have to understand They're gonna like it - like I like all of theirs But it will take some time to find out - what I'm gonna write about And I'm still... If I don't understand it right You won't understand mine Get out, start your own Show me what you mean... And I'm still... [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Friends And Girls And You 03:58
lyrics
Friends And Girls And You We can't talk today, there's nothing left to say. I remember it was different when we met here yesterday. What happened to those days when we used to be as one And the little smile you saved for me was brighter than the sun. I'd better bitten my lip, maybe I should have faked a smile But I know you know me well enough to see through my disguise. So here we are today with our friendships broken seal And all that we can do is wait for bleeding wounds to heal. All the numbers I wrote down On all the kiss-me-cards I found Will never add up to the one That never let me hit the ground. Another girl will come, a kiss, a warm embrace. But every kiss is colder than the one I'll never taste. We can't talk today, but maybe that's okay, Cause summer always sweeps away all winter's tragedy. All the numbers... I need pills to keep my head from aching. cause all these thoughts just keep me up all night. I need kicks to keep my mind from thinking and all my friends to give me strength to fight. I need girls to keep my heart from breaking even though I know it's already too late. I need you to keep my life from sinking, and I know that I can love you as a friend. [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Waiting For The Day 03:20
lyrics
Waiting For The Day You say this and I say that You close your eyes and go to bed We could have so much more to say We decide to give it to another day I can't sleep, so I do think I get up and get another drink I'll have some more time to spend So I'm waiting for the next weekend Waiting for the day that we'll find our way Now I realize what went wrong And with that I'm not so strong The opposite, I feel so weak In the mirror I punch the geek I'll build up myself again I'll stop and leave this train Until the day it starts again When it's time to win this game Waiting for the day... [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Dreamhouse 03:49
lyrics
Dreamhouse Hunting my dreamhouse, it's overrun I'm not invited, so I won't come I know all the parties, so I just watch I never felt alien, not at all too much If you would be there, I'll never know I'm just wondering, how can I show... Sometimes alone is good for me It's never been shown and hard to see Hunting the dreamhouse is overcome I will not go there, it's too overrun I will be waiting inside this room Never felt alien this way too soon... This time too soon I'm going home Too hard for me to see you go If this was the last chance to talk to you I should have better done what I do Just watching you talk the whole night away While I know that I can't make you stay Stay with me [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]

Insight 04:42
lyrics
Insight (I'm) aggregated - I know I clench my fist - and I go It was my mistake - you're right I know but I - just can't change I went downstairs, the lights went on I felt too insecure to move along My life is not how you see it I know what I'm able to, but I can't believe it Tell me sweet lies I don't want to hear I had the time to open my eyes I'll have to see you again, now and then I'm gonna laugh with you (if I can) Anyway - I'm gonna stay - Make the most out of everyday. [ Love Isn't Brains, Children... 2002 ]
