Альбом Ilse DeLange

Rewrote the story, that I have told
Can tell what's rubble and what is gold
You put a softness back on my hands
Repaired with mystery my confidence
Before I knew it, you understood
You're on my skin now, run through my blood
It's really gonna make you wonder

Cause I no longer hide
I have grown, no longer invincible
Cried rivers full
In your waters I am calm
Rain wash me clean
All your strength reflects in me
I'm never gonna let you go
This broken girl is whole

I feel uncertain I felt unworthy
Smallest attention, not meant for me
My shoulders carried, you took that load
You took the weight off, from of my soul
It's really gonna make you wonder

Cause I no longer hide
I have grown, no longer invincible
Cried rivers full
In your waters I am calm
Rain wash me clean
All your strength reflects in me
I'm never gonna let you go
This broken girl is whole

Cause every little whisper, now gets told
And all the little secrets that I've known are now yours
You've stopped the bleeding, you made me whole

Cause I no longer hide
I have grown, no longer invincible
Cried rivers full
In your waters I am calm
Rain wash me clean
All your strength reflects in me
Rain rain wash me clean
Wash me clean
Hide hide
I have grown, no longer invincible
Cried rivers full
In your waters I am calm
Rain wash me clean
All your strength reflects in me
I'm never gonna let you go
This broken girl is whole?

I've walked in these old shoes
I feel they fit me best
They're just a little loose
They get me where I go
They've been there watched me grow
And put me to the test

I've been told so many times
Be careful you might fall
I'm ready for it all

What would you say
If we could make something amazing
Is it too far to where you are
Look at me changing
One frame out of time
I'm crossing the line
To something amazing

I thought the world was small
I thought I'd seen it all
But now it turned around
It's all upside down
I throw these shoes away
And get a brand-new pair
To take us out of here

Look how they made me shine
Just like Queen Valentine
This is a special day

What would you say
If we could make something amazing
Is it too far to where you are
Look at me changing
One frame out of time
I'm crossing the line
To something amazing

Can't find the reason, hiding away
Why did it take so long
Empty excuses, scared of what truth is
Kept me from moving on

What would you say

Is it too far to where you are
Look at me changing
What would you say
If we could make something amazing
Is it too far to where your are
Look at me changing
One frame out of time
I'm crossing the line
To something amazing
This is something amazing

Sometimes I wake to catch the sun
Watch it rise before it runs routines
I turn around you're lying there
Like a Polaroid, a flash of you and me

Love me, never let me go

Stay with me
For just another moment
'Till you fade from me again
You come and go just like the wind
Whispering, and I give in
So stay with me
Stay with me

Like the Summer days in hourglasses
Slowly bloomed then quickly passed away
The butterflies have long gone still
I saved them all and put them on display

Love me, never let me go

Stay with me
For just another moment
'Till you fade from me again
You come and go just like the wind
Whispering, and I give in
So stay with me
Stay with me

Let me get lost in
My only memory is you
I would give all I have
I'll hold my hand out
Hoping that you'll find
And if you do

On my way to catch a train
On an early morning, pouring rainy grey
I saw a man come round the bend
The way he stopped and turned his head to say, I heard him say

Stay with me
For just another moment
'Till you fade from me again
Stay with me
For just another moment
'Till you fade from me again
You come and go just like the wind
Whispering, and I give in
So stay with me

Someone put a lock on this old door
It's been beaten up and used and more
It's been kicked a hundred thousand times
It's keeping all the memories behind

If you read the lines between the paint
Look beyond the cracks that store away
It's hidden in the windows of the walls
Right behind the eyes that saw it all

Given all the facts of circumstance
I did not believe that a romance
Would show itself in all this dark and blue
That's the only place I ever knew

You put me outside my safety-zone
Outside all the lines that made my home
To find out that no one really lives
Without giving what it is you give

A miracle looking in my life
A mirror-ball showing me all these faces
A miracle looking in my life, after all
A miracle looking in my life
A mirror-ball showing me all these faces
A miracle

I've been living underneath my skin
Everything I felt I kept it in
It carried all the words without a sound
It got me, it almost got too loud

But now that my arms are holding on
To someone as sacred as a song
To the one who wants to be my own
I have found that blood can come from stones

A miracle looking in my life
A mirror-ball showing me all these faces
A miracle looking in my life, after all
A miracle looking in my life
A mirror-ball showing me all these faces
A miracle

A miracle looking in my life
A mirror-ball showing me all these faces
A miracle looking in my life, after all
A miracle looking in my life
A mirror-ball showing me all these faces
A miracle looking in my life, after all
A miracle looking in my life
A mirror-ball showing me all these faces
A miracle?

Someone put a lock on this old door
It's been beaten up and used and more
It's been kicked a hundred thousand times
It's keeping all the memories behind

In the middle of the day, when the sun is aching.
And I try to make my way, but the sidewalk's breaking.
Watch me slip between the cracks, as I fall and fall and fall.
And I wonder where I land, if I ever land at all.

Oh there's your hand...

So incredible, the love we have.
The things we hold, let's make them last.
You pull me through, when I get stuck in other little distractions.
So incredible.
So incredible.

In the middle of the night, when the stars all gather.
They conspire with the sky, I'm sure it's me they're after.
Try to steel away my dreams, keep them for themselves.
As I'm stirring in my sleep, please just help me wake up.

Oh there's your hand...
So incredible, the love we have.
The things we hold, let's make them last.
You pull me through, when I get stuck in other little distractions.
Everything happens
I still know
So incredible

Everything that we know...
Spinning out of control...
You never let me go...
Ohohoh...

So incredible
So incredible

If it's a misconception
Then why do I feel alone, with no direction anywhere, anyways
It's such a crooked circle and I'm running around again
Looking for exit-signs and borderlines to take me
Somewhere different, someplace new
Where I can feel alive

I want to start to feel the world again
I want to find a place I've never been
Not gonna wait until they tell me when, we're alright
And if you want to, you can meet me there
We'll be together though we don't know where
And for the first time I am so aware
We're alright

If nothing ever changes, then why is it that I see
So many different faces always looking back at me
Have they always been there, maybe all that's new is me
Facing the opportunities that set me free
Take me somewhere different, someplace new, where I can feel alive

I want to start to feel the world again
I want to find a place I've never been
Not gonna wait until they tell me when, we're alright
And if you wan to, you can meet me there
We'll be together though we don't know where
And for the first time I am so aware
We're alright

I won't look back
I won't go back
there's no turning back this time

I want to start to feel the world again
I want to find a place I've never been
Not gonna wait until they tell me when, we're alright
And if you wan to you can meet me there
We'll be together though we don't know where
And for the first time I am so aware
We're alright

We fall into the ocean
We're breathin' under water
Don't know where we're going
But don't you think we oughta
Find land, find land, dry land

I'm following behind you
Moving in slow motion
Searching for a rescue
Something to put hope in
Find land, find land, dry land

My heart is tired, it can't go on
Fighting waves that are too strong
Been tossed around and beaten by the sea
Of you and me, we've both jumped ship
We're adrift

How do we drain an ocean
Is there a secret at the bottom
A door that we can open
A nozzle or a faucet
To let out, to let out, to get out

Every night I watch the sunset
Does it sink as fast as I do
How does it hold it's last breath
Through the loneliness of solitude
Through the dark, in the dark, when it's dark

My heart is tired, it can't go on
Fighting waves that are too strong
Been tossed around and beaten by the sea
Of you and me, we've both jumped ship
We're adrift

The tides, oh they lift us up and then they put us down again
It's never ending
No it is not your fault, were lost

My heart is tired, it can't go on
Fighting waves that are too strong
Been tossed around and beaten by the sea
Of you and me, we've both jumped ship
We're adrift

There it is, I can see
The little picture perfect me
I have tried, using force
But it always ends up tragically
So I stay the way I am
Just a crooked little outline
I'm whole, then not, and back again
Wondering when I'll ever find
Someone who will take the time

Puzzle me
Spread my heart out on your floor
The pieces now are yours to put in place
Rearrange, 'cause I'm scattered, undefined
Hanging on by borderlines
'Till you complete
You puzzle me

Pick me up, lay me down
Your touch, it has turned me round
Over time, patiently
All the little clues you found
Have shapened up to show
You've pulled me together
We fit and we both know
Everything is better now
Everything is better

Puzzle me
Spread my heart out on your floor
The pieces now are yours to put in place
Rearrange, cause I'm scattered, undefined
Hanging on by borderlines
'Till you complete
You puzzle me

And everything about me, suddenly made clear
The empty spaces disappear

Puzzle me
Spread my heart out on your floor
The pieces now are yours to put in place
Rearrange, cause I'm scattered, undefined
Hanging on by borderlines
'Till you complete

Puzzle me
Spread my heart out on your floor
The pieces now are yours to put in place
Rearrange, cause I'm scattered, undefined
Hanging on by borderlines
'Till you complete
You puzzle me?

Sweet touch of citrus skin
I watch you peeling mandarins
As gently as the day begins
I cover up the shade we're in
And I retrace what brought us here
Cigarettes and cheap dead beer
The fresh air in that atmosphere
We talk but never hear
Guess I don't know you at all
All I know is

Love won't hide away
If it's right I know we'll find a way
Darling stay, but if you think that you must leave
It's not a thought that worries me
'Cause love don't hide away
Love don't hide away

We're like flowers in the grass
Without the rain we cannot last
Clouds bring dark but they will pass
We're just storming in a glass
That's chipped and cracked and bound to break
And when it does, it's still ok
'Cause we could use the luck it brings
At this point I'll take anything
'Cause I don't know you at all
All I know is

Love won't hide away
If it's right I know we'll find a way
Darling stay, but if you think that you must leave
It's not a thought that worries me
'Cause love don't hide away
Love don't hide away

If I could buy the words I need to say
I save it all to spent my life away
'Cause all I want is just to have your love

Love don't hide away
If it's right I know we'll find a way
No, love won't hide away
If it's right I know we'll find a way
Darling stay, but if you think that you must leave
It's not a thought that worries me
'Cause love don't hide away
Love don't hide away
Love don't hide away?

Can't control this feeling, it breaks the shelter that you're in
And you can't make it disappear, or pretend that it's not there
When it's broken through your skin

When you're seeing for the first time
That you're standing on the front line
There's no way back
There's no one to save you now

If you choose love then let it in
But if you don't want the fight
Then why are you waiting
Turn around if that's what makes it right
Don't leave this mistake
'Till there's nothing left to break

Everyone is watching, waiting for your move
Frightened of the consequence, you don't move at all
'Cause you're too afraid to loose

When you're seeing for the first time
That you're standing on the front line
There's no way back
No one to save you now

If you choose love then let it in
But if you don't want the fight
Then why are you waiting
Turn around if that's what makes it right
Don't leave this mistake
'Till there's nothing left to break

Find what's true, inside out
To get to you, there's no way out
If you can't be, if you don't see
Let it go

But If you choose love then let it in
But if you don't want the fight
Then why are you waiting
Turn around if that's what makes it right
Don't leave this mistake
'Till there's nothing left to break

Will you give all you got to give, are you making it up a bit
Are you loosing your mind, loosing track of time
Hide yourself in a masquerade, falling into this escapade
Watch yourself dancing with the clowns

Did you think you would be up with the kings and the queens
Building castles of sand, it gets out of hand
You know there's no guarantee surviving anomalies
No one can breathe in the sea, ironically

No one is running the show, no one is letting you know
That you will end up alone, keep running and running and running and running

Are there places that you hide, that echo your innocence
Run away from the fire, you are burning up inside
Lost control of the truth and the lies, it is lonely where you go
I have been there, so I know the way
Back to the other side

Counteract and get physical, deaf to anything critical
I don't mean to be cynical but you're fading away
Everybody has disappeared, will the walls listen to your fears
There's no reflection here, ironically

No one is running the show, no one is letting you know
That you will end up alone, keep running and running and running and running

Are there places that you hide, that echo your innocence
Run away from the fire, you are burning up inside
Lost control of the truth and the lies, it is lonely where you go
I have been there, so I know the way
Back to the other side

No one is running the show, no one is letting you know
That you will end up alone, keep running and running and running and running

Are there places that you hide, that echo your innocence
Run away from the fire, you are burning up inside
Lost control of the truth and the lies, it is lonely where you go
I have been there, so I know the way
It is lonely where you go
I have been there, so I know the way
Back to the other side

The floor looks better now, that I've swept the mess you made
I wish it was that easy, to wipe regret away
But you don't seem to mind 'cause you never have to touch
All the stains you leave behind, I keep picking up to

Fall, like the sky let's go of snow
Fall, like sunken ships on ocean floors
Fall, like the words we couldn't hold
We fall

I have boxes stored away underneath our bed
The things I once held dear, now hold dust instead
It's time to take them out and put them all outside
I wish it was that easy to clear my mind

I fall, like the sky let's go of snow
Fall, like sunken ships on ocean floors
Fall, like the words we couldn't hold
We fall

And every time I let you closer
I loose a part I won't get back
I'm feeling just a little older
Every time I fall

Fall, like the sky let's go of snow
Fall, like sunken ships on ocean floors
Fall, like the words we couldn't hold
We fall?
