I`m writing popsongs and I like to life my live as I please
Just listen to my songs if you wanna know me
Behind the curtains I deeply love opera and jazz
But on the surface I`m another one of them
But I am more than just a cutie face with an exotic name
Just step right in and take a closer look around
It isn`t easy but I`ll try to be authentically
I`ll let you know and turn me inside out
A-a-a-a-a authentically, oh
I like my mic to be my diary and I like to be me
But I confess, that this effect doesn't work
When I'm with you, when I'm afraid, when I'm a bit insecure
I get the shape of a chameleon
And after all I lose it all my strong personality
I change to what you expect me to be
I try to be funny, try to be as tough, as tough as it seems
But by that way I'm just like a million
There are all too many others they are already there
I don't have to be like them I don't have to be like them
There are all too many others they are already there
I don't have to be like them I don't have to be like them
It isn't easy to be taken serious
When you're young at heart
Don't know who you really are
You try this, try that, find it out
Your personality, individuality
Who you're gonna be, when you' re big?
A singer in a bar? A famous movie star?
A business-woman in a designer dress
Or a donut seller or a story teller?
A huge question mark is standing over your life
But you don't get dizzy, it's enough, that you're too busy to
Enjoy yourself, so lean back and let it happen
I'm sure, life will provide the best if you let it
Find your way
Get away, yeah yeah
Find your way
Get away, yeah yeah
It won't get easier when you're grown
So don't grow up too fast, it is a trap they said
Stay young at heart and mind 'till you die,
Don't you give up on trying new things, discover why!
Once, you gonna know, who you are
Stay true to your own path, then it can take you far
To walk it, you don't need a designer dress
Put on some real good shoes, sometimes you'll get the blues
An exclamation mark is standing over your life
Don't you hesitate too long, and take your chance before it's gone
Enjoy yourself, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn
I'm sure life will provide the chances you earn
Never knew
I was seeking you
All the time
All that I've been through
All the years
All the empty rooms
When a painting
Can become the truth
Where have you been all the time?
What if I hadn't drawn the line?
What if … ?
Where were you all the time?
I've seen you
But I didn't see the sign
Where were you?
Where have you been all this time?
Hiding in another lonely life
When I think and sing of
Of what’s forgotten
When the pain stops you know the past is through
I wanna lay down in silky meadows
And sink and dive into tones of molten blue
Until the morning let me hide and heal there
Until the day comes leaning 'gainst the sun
I will accept and crawl out of the rear view mirror
Paleness dripping, cracks up by a frown
Safe in alabaster and ivory chambers
Safe from moldy cellars or deranged lovers
Safe from weird stairways or drunken parents
Arcs of satin and rooftops of stone
Safe until I’m strong
Safe but on my own
Will my saving be my drowning, oh
What if … ?
Where were you all the time?
I've seen you
But I didn't see the sign
Where were you?
Where have you been all this time?
Hiding in another lonely
Life
You were there all the time
Not only
Just when I recognized the sign
Knowing love
Not until you came along
Escaping from another lonely life
If I was lost
Now that I was found
What once for me
Seemed a familiar sound
Now is banished
How foreign that can be
When a paining
Becomes reality
Oh travelling, oh travelling you touched my wounded heart
Although I decided not to let anyone in
Oh travelling, oh travelling she doesn`t call me back
I feel as foolish as I`ve already been
Should have known better, should have known better from the start
Should have known better, should have known better, but I can`t
No one can
And that`s the tripping part in travelling
Oh travelling, oh travelling did you meet this Mr. Fly?
Always joking, always planning things but never passing by
Oh travelling, tell me travelling did you see this come along?
Have you written all this song all alone?
Should I have listened, should I have listened and learned
Should I have wisdom, should I have wisdom this turn
I take another turn, yeah, yeah, yeah
And that`s the gruesome part in travelling
Write her a letter, write him a letter, tell it so
Write her a letter, write him a letter, letting go
Oh Traveling, oh travelling, you sweetened up my heart I
You opened up the fist that held it tight
Oh Traveling, oh travelling, what will become of it?
Now that your I journey`s already begun to fade away
Will some remain and will something stay and remind
Will some remain and will something stay and remind
This time, yeah, oh this time, ooh
You, you're like disease, you captured me for so long
You, and still I had the strength to walk along
You, you follow me even in my sleep
Wanna get rid, wanna get rid of it
You, a big bad black fat ugly crow that`s what you are
You, fly away, fly away, let go!
You, and it`s so cold, it`s so damn cold inside of you
You've frozen my heart, frozen my heart, can't love
It`s still winter and I keep my head I keep my head up high
It`s still winter and I keep my head from falling down and die
It`s still winter and I think I didn't deserve such a hard time
It`s still winter and I keep on shoveling keep on shoveling - the snow aside
And I feel the wind is blowing, It`s freaking cold outside
And the freezing winds are turning, they turned the tide
ooh I have survived, yeah yeah yeah yeah
