I feel nervous when you're around
I can't think straight I'm up all night
Lying in my bed got a million things to do
But the only thing I wanna think about is you
I've never seen anything more clear babe
Than the moment I saw you walking in here
You wore that red flamenco dress
With no other reason then to fuckin' impress
I thought that I was doing just fine
Until you showed up - you looked so divine
The world 'round me faded all away
Shaking knees - Wondering what's your name?!
I'll pick you up to drink at that same bar
Waiting outside your house, sitting in my car
And when we're finally back together
I realize that at night I feel much better
Wanna do all kinds of things with you
Dancing, romancing and maybe take you to the zoo
But I barely touched your hand
I guess it's back to imaginationland

Got adicted to the smell of gasoline
I've been driving down the lone road
Committed to your dreams
And it seems your dreams are changing
As your mood swings up and down
And your hopes are being adjusted
as you turn your life around
So here i go
On and on
Caught in between
Apologies
A clean routine
Ordinary
My life's complete
Disaster struck in me
Violent vixen
Well let me think about a new way to tell you
That i need some space to breath in
That i need my room to move
And all this time i tried, i tried
To share this dream with you
Well togheter we can build up
a dream that might come true

Smile - you're dying
it's decided,
this is a waste of time
can't be justified
but your eyes
have made up my mind
lay your head down,
on a 4 leaf clover
I have this feeling, I can't get over
take a swing at ignorance and do what you're told
have a toast to your friends
until you're out cold
hope is fading
this is useless
the desperation is here
Go, the time has come
to say goodbye
and don't forget about me

After all these years, still a face that looks like yours makes me
Wonder about what could’ve been.
This is one of the nights I’m trying hard to not get caught up so much this time
But I can’t. I’m one for dwelling in the past and making moments last
That has become what I do over the years. So far, this worked out for me.
This is idle hope. This is self-destructive loathing and it’s all I’ve got to keep you in my mind.
Please make me see, there’s more than you and what we’ve been through
But I can’t. I’m one for dwelling in the past and making moments last
That has become what I do over the years. So far, this worked out for me.
so I intend to keep living in 2003 for ages to come.
You were my angel then and that’s the way I’d like to think of you again someday.
Make moments last - I want to keep living in the past in all sincerity
Make moments last - Maybe I will be yours again. Maybe I will understand.
But you won't. I’m one for dwelling in the past and making moments last
That has become what I do over the years. So far, this worked out for me.
This worked out for me.

Fade out, fight back
Don't look at me now I'm not worth a thing
Hell, I'm not worth looking at at all
Stand up, black out
The world is spinning around
My eyes are seeing things
but things that I can't figure out
I crossed my heart - I can't back out
Give me two martinis and I'm ready to go
I'm passed out on the floor
After drinking too much I get down
again I feel the pain inside
Relax, hold back
the thought of "self-destruct"
I'm bleeding but the razor-blade just isn't sharp enough
Think twice, hold on
The best is yet to come
'Cause if it doesn't kill me
it has got to make me strong
I crossed my heart - I can't back out
Give me two martinis and I'm ready to go
I'm passed out on the floor
After drinking too much I get down
again I feel the pain inside
