Say the Things We Die to Say

(Colin Burgess)

A story of two people who have always been in love, yet seem to find the reasons not to find it in each other.

Spending the nights on the the city skyline
Dreaming of our words and how we've been ready
We were falling in love but never falling down out there
Don't stop or we might regret it

You keep bringing me out
I keep laying my heart down
Is there anybody else 
Will we ever regret it
You keep moving around
I keep shedding every doubt
I'm staring at my shelf
I keep reading your letters

We keep running in circles 
This all can't be for show
The brighter side never shined out on your kind of glow
Better late than never
It may be getting too late
Don't stop, don't stop
Say the words that we die to say

I wanna be where you are
See your light under stars
Steal the breath from your lips
Know all your little tricks
If we miss then we might ask the questions
If we fall then we may find our answers

You pull
You pull a little farther 
I'm chasing through the rain
I swear that I will make it through to you
You run
You run to make this harder
Maybe it's all just a craze
I swear that I will let you know the truth

We keep running in circles 
This all can't be for show
The brighter side never shined out on your kind of glow
Better late than never
It may be getting too late
Don't stop, don't stop
Say the words that we die to say

I wanna feel
Wanna be the way that you want
From the inside out
I want to see every side of you 
We'll take the perfect picture
Throw the others away
It's okay to be on the better side of new

Spending the nights on the the city skyline
Dreaming of our words and how we've been ready
We were falling in love but never falling down out there
Don't stop or we might regret it

Die Nacht ist zum Schlafen

By Silvan Wibeau

Geht darum, sich nicht in sich selbst zurückzuziehen, darum Dinge nicht abzutun und sie aufzugeben, nur weil sie dir in einem Moment sehr fern sind, darum nicht alles zu dramatisieren, sondern abzuwarten und zu merken dass alles wieder okay kommt undsoundso und so .. hab ich mir beim Schreiben sehr langsam und walzerig vorgestellt aber dunno..
