You ask me what is on my mind
you notice there's a change
there's something different
different in the way I look at you today
you see I have been alone for so long baby
now I cannot explain

I must be completely our of my mind
to ever take the chance
I ain't got no trouble still I worry
that I might have to lose you
see I've been alone for so long baby

[chorus]

Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Yeah

Now I believe
That what I used to think
Was a lie
Is really a life
Now I can see
There's only one place to reach
Only one thing to preach
And that's the highest

It’s the strangest thing
That I can feel so much

There is no reason
There is no logic to feelings
'Cause when love is the dealer I'm addicted

So fascinating
I can’t stop this constant craving

they say that sometimes
you gotta pick up arms and fight
for what you believe is right
and some say that's just not the way
you'll only make things worse

so i close my eyes and turn head away
and i hope it'll be alright
fall into a restless sleep while
so many innocent die

that's why i sing yeah

hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here
hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here

aha aha
did you ever wake up in the morning
with a greight-train running through your head
an empty whiskey bottle by your pillow
and a burned out unfinished cigarette
the night went up in smoke
life is but a joke man
but I see nobody laughing, nobody laughing

did you ever live a day
like the next day would never come
blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares

Graduated fool...
that is what i am
for everytime i've failed you
cuz you're so beautiful
i just turned and walked away

a jingle with words
tangle my tongue
stammering stutter

so i wrote you this song
to finally tell you what you've known all along
i love you

believe in me.
believe me.

it was true devotion
all these mixed emotions
so i did it again
i want you to forgive me

lately I've been feeling down
I don't get around much anymore
so I just spend my time alone
waiting for the phone to ring
I keep thinking of you

I miss the language that we speak
when we don't even talk
and everytime I see you smile
you make it all worthwhile
I keep thinking of you

[chorus]
I never loved someone like this before
keep staring at your picture while I try to
work my way around you

I've got time to think about
the things you think about when
you've got time to spare
wonder why we're here

And I wonder when or where it might go wrong
I wonder why I went along with you
why I forgot to think
forgot to think it through

I wonder why I
I wonder why

[chorus]
you go on, you go on, you go on pushing yourself
you keep, you keep on, you keep on fooling yourself

I am looking for answeres to questions never posed
I haven't got a clue, I'm living like a ghost
I can't seem to read the signs
I'm swimming in the sand, I'm searching

I hold on to your reasons, I'll hold on to my dreams
it's all good and bad advice 'cause you have to choose
one friend says go ahead, other one says don't
I'm searching

whatever I try I can't find it
wherever I roam it's all gone

Here, if it's only consolation, take mine
No, no need for explanations, it's alright
With me it would only be redundent, see
If you only try to keep it all inside
I lay me down with your decision
Blow your mind, don't hestitate
This devil takes your pain away
Take mine

But now that I have finally found you
I'm gonna take it one step at a time
Let's try to keep this good thing going

you tell me that you need to spend some time alone
you tell me that you think it's best if i go home now

i get my coat
from off the floor
i'm out the door
walkin home alone
my love has left

my head my heart are torn apart
my mind's exploding
crying my eyes out over you

it must be hard for you to believe that i might love you
just try to understand that i just want you to want me too

(Gert Bertens)

It's good to see you after all this time
It's good to know that you are doing fine
But I can't help but notice in a bar on friday night
That there is something you should tell me
But your driver waits outside

You're moving on, you're going to a bigger world
You're moving on, you're ready for the universe
It's meaningless to me
Cause you're not here to see
The bigger side of me
