LIKE WATER DOWN THE DRAIN
- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Our love is tainted.
Our love is fading away.
Our love, running away.
Like water down the drain.

Our love, running away,
Like water down the drain.

Our love is doomed.
Our love is running away.
Fading away,
Our love is running away

Water in the rain.
Like water down the drain.

You Came for me
In the Dark
With sportswear Jacket
Without said any word
A Cell phone against your ears
Itʼs Quiet and cold here
I am not afraid of You
The footsteps are slow
Nobody wants to leave the place
Nobody wants to leave
Theres a girl
Who is speaking on the phone
She says …
« I come for you »
Nobody wants to leave

Lately, I've been doing some thinking,Trying to work out what went wrong,Seems to me I’ve been putting up with you for way too long,So I'm picking up and moving on.I’m hitting the road,Out on my own,Deleting your number from my phone,Gonna learn to be happy,Just like I used to be,Before I let you bring me down,No more excuses,Or needing to prove that,I’m good enough as I am,I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.
I can't believe it took me so long,Just to see the hold you had on me,But now it’s like I can breathe,Nobody to answer to but me,And that’s how it’s meant to be,Finally doing’ this, finally free!I’m hitting the road,Out on my own,Deleting your number from my phone,Gonna learn to be happy,Just like I used to be,Before I let you bring me down,No more excuses,Or needing to prove that,I’m good enough as I am,I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

Hot sun, lazy days,Day dreamin’ in the summer haze,Slowin’ down and losing track of time.
Warm nights an ice cold beer,Nothing but the crickets singing in my ear,It feels good to be back home again.
It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,Just two kids falling in love,Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,It was all so long ago,But there’s no place quite like home.
Married now, with a couple a kids,Oh time flies but that’s the way it is,Where did those 25 years go?
Sometimes going back,Is the only way to keep your present day on track,You need to see how far you've come.
It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,Just two kids falling in love,Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,It was all so long ago,But there’s no place quite like home.

Only six years old, I already knew,How my life would be, what I was gonna do,Had it all worked out, I didn't see a reason why it wouldn't come about,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,There was nothing in this world stopping me.
Fast forward to my early teens,I'd given up on the childhood dream,Sick of trying to fit in at school,Always being different and never being cool,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That I could be six years old again.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are.
Started working at the local store,A good job, but wanted so much more,Too big for a small town,But not knowing how to break down all the doors,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That things would change.
Didn't wanna meet mister right,Didn't need another reason to end up tied,Won't settle for settling down,When there’s a whole wide world just waiting to be found,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,Needed to remember the time.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are, You're perfect as you are.

You bring me coffee every morning while I lay in bed,You read the paper, take a shower, it’s the same every day,Never changes,But I love our little ways.
I make you toast the way you like without the edges on,You go to work but call me straight away 'cause you already miss home,And our little world,And all our little ways.
You,Are the reason that I smile,The good thing in my life,You,You may not ever see,Just what you mean to me.
Wanna spend the rest of my life,Holding your hand, stood by your side,Wanna be the girl on your arm,Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,In happy endings, with your best friend,Like a fairy tale.
Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,Wanna be your everything,Wanna see how life turns out,The good the bad and all that’s in between,Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,Wanna share my life and all our little ways.
You stroke my hair when I lay over you and watch TV,I rub your shoulders when you're stressed, I try to take your cares away,We've got each other and all our little ways.
You,Are the reason that I smile,The good thing in my life,You,You may not ever see,Just what you mean to me.
Wanna spend the rest of my life,Holding your hand, stood by your side,Wanna be the girl on your arm,Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,In happy endings, with your best friend,Like a fairy tale.
Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,Wanna be your everything,Wanna see how life turns out,The good the bad and all that’s in between,Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,Wanna share my life and all our little ways.

Everywhere I go,And everything I do,It’s like I've been looking,Looking for you.
I didn't really know,I didn't really care,But it’s like you had all the answers,The who, the when, the where.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained,The adventure where everything changed,The world had a way,Of leading me straight to you.
Anywhere I go,And anything I do,Just doesn't come close to how I feel,When I'm with you.
So I guess that in the end,It was always meant to be,I was made for you,And you were made for me.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained,The adventure where everything changed,The world had a way,Of leading me straight to you.

Every time you look my way,I get a feeling there'll be hell to pay,If I let you in, you're gonna let me down.Your reputation leaves a lot to be desired,You've got the devil in your eyes.
But when you come knocking,There’s just no stopping my heart from letting you in,I can't control it, and I hate that you know it,You've really gotten under my skin,Oh, I should ignore you, oh, I should see right through you,But it’s like you've got me under your spell,I need to turn around before you lead me down,A one way street to hell.
When I think I'm doing fine,You got a habit of crossing my mind,Like a movie on repeat.Everything about you tells me you're no good,I need to walk away, oh, I know I should.
But when you come knocking,There’s just no stopping my heart from letting you in,I can't control it, and I hate that you know it,You've really gotten under my skin,Oh, I should ignore you, oh, I should see right through you,But it’s like you've got me under your spell,I need to turn around before you lead me down,A one way street to hell.
You're gonna bring me down,You're gonna bring me down.

When it rains it pours,And I feel like I've been drowning,Since you've been gone.I believed in love and happy endings,But that ended when it all went wrong.
Now in the dead of the night,The pain gets a little bit stronger,I spend a little longer thinking about you,And when the music plays,It don't hit in the same way,You took the soul from the song,And the words right outta my mouth.
When the cold wind blows,Without an arm to wrap around your shoulder,It feels a little colder than it did before.I wish I knew, if there was something I could do,To stop my mind reminding me you're not here no more.
Now in the dead of the night,The pain gets a little bit stronger,I spend a little longer thinking about you,And when the music plays,It don't hit in the same way,You took the soul from the song,And the words right outta my mouth.

It’s been three days since I saw the light,It’s like I only come alive at night,Like a dog on a city street,Keeping my head low and dragging my feet.
Falling through the cracks,Since you upped and walked away,Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.
It’s been three days since I saw your face,Can't shake the vision of you packing your suitcase,You said you don't know what you want,I said I didn't want a broken heart.
Falling through the cracks,Since you upped and walked away,Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.

I look at the sun,And I know it’s gonna be one of the days,That takes me right back to when I was young,Dreaming through the summer haze.
When nothing was scary, I could do anything.Loving to cartwheel and dance in the rain,Pulling up daisies to put in a chain,Laughing for hours and rolling down hills,Climbing the trees at the old farmer's mill.
These are the days I remember,These are the days I miss,When young and free was all I had to be,And reality didn't exist.
Stuck on the train riding to work again,Life on a one-way street,My only escape is to pause and replay,Like a memory played on repeat.
When nothing was scary, I could do anything.Loving to cartwheel and dance in the rain,Pulling up daisies to put in a chain,Laughing for hours and rolling down hills,Climbing the trees at the old farmer's mill.
These are the days I remember,These are the days I miss,When young and free was all I had to be,And reality didn't exist.
Take me back to being young,Take me back to being young,Take me back to being young,Take me back to being young.

Sun goes down,Dark all around,Look away, go away now,Nothing left to say now.
Doors stay closed,What was new now is old,Run away, turn away now,Nothing you can say now.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.
Tears fall down,Never make a sound,You can go, you can go now,Nothing you can do now.
Life goes on,Forever holding on,Another day to take away now,Nothing left to say now.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.

I know a place just out of town,Comes to life when the sun goes down,Where everybody knows your name,And no two nights are ever the same.
There’s a band playing country blues,King of the road and blue suede shoes,Two steppin' on the worn oak floor,People don’t dance like that no more.
This is where they come to play,After a long day,Come and drink the night away.At the sunset saloon,We hope ya come back soon.
With a friend or by yourself,The beer's always cold and the liquor's top shelf,Smoke twirling under neon lights,You won't be blue for long on whiskey night.
Shooting pool, hustling from the pros,Knocking down shots like dominoes,Leave your money on the table, double or quits,You don't even know you've lost when the tequila hits.
This is where they come to play,After a long day,Come and drink the night away.At the sunset saloon,We hope ya come back soon.
This is where they come to play,After a long day,Come and drink the night away.At the sunset saloon,We hope ya come back soon.

Dragged down to the bottom,
I was about as low as can be,
I built myself a prison,
told my friends to never visit and throw away the key.

So I count my blessings,
I see the wood from the trees,
Im making my escape,
shouldn't hesitate,
This is, this is my emergency yeah.

It's beginning to feel like a breakout, break out, And I can't take it no more,
It's beginning to feel like a break down, a break down, Time to level the score.

It's beginning to feel like a breakout, break out, And I can't take it no more,
It's beginning to feel like a breakout is happening,
A breakout is happening.

I fell down to the gutter,
So alone and bleak,
Couldn't recognise my own reflection,
Couldn't even try to speak.

So I count my blessings,
I see the wood from the trees,
Im making my escape, shouldn't hesitate,
This is, this is my emergency yeah.

It's beginning to feel like a breakout, break out, And I can't take it no more,
It's beginning to feel like a break down, a break down, Time to level the score.

It's beginning to feel like a breakout, break out, And I can't take it no more,
It's beginning to feel like a breakout is happening,
A breakout is happening.

Im chasing moonbeams in my sleep,
Making myself promises I cannot keep to,
See through until the end,
I'm losing ground to you, But bound to you.

Im chasing fake gold,
I'm coming after you,
You're making me old,
You… Got me on the run,
Got me on the run,
Got me on the run now yeah, I'm breaking rainbows in my sleep,
Waking myself up,
Trying to heat up the cold,
Your soul and everything about this empty hole.

It's got us all on the run,
It's got us all on the run.

Im chasing fake gold,
I'm coming after you,
You're making me old,
You… Got me on the run,
Got me on the run,
Got me on the run now yeah.

There’s no substitute for what you got in front of you,
The way you look at me, you wanna piece,
I know you do,
Oooh, oooh, ooh,
You wanna, Aah , oooh, oooh, ooh oooh.

Come take it if you wanna make it physical,
Let's take it further than a murmur and the trivial,
Oooh, oooh, ooh,
You wanna, Aah, oooh, oooh , ooh oooh.

You make the first move and you get to first choose,
Who we should be but don't leave me hanging now.

Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh, Don't keep me hanging, keep me hanging on the deadline,
Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh,
Got a feeling that I'm ready,
I'm ready to burn, burn, burn.

Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh, Don't keep me hanging, keep me hanging for the third prize,
Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh,
Got a feeling that I'm ready,
I'm ready to take you home.

A fine body and a mind to match the visual,
You never break your stare, you make it impossible to say no,
I gotta take you home.

Please stay all night and keep up till past dawn,
Let my loving feel like you're reborn,
Oooh, oooh , ooh,
You wanna, Aah , oooh, oooh, ooh oooh.

You make the first move and you get to first choose,
Who we should be but don't leave me hanging now.

Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh, Don't keep me hanging, keep me hanging on the deadline,
Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh,
Got a feeling that I'm ready,
I'm ready to burn, burn, burn.

Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh, Don't keep me hanging, keep me hanging for the third prize,
Woah woah ooh woah woah oh oh oh,
Got a feeling that I'm ready,
I'm ready to take you home.

All alone you wait, you're waiting for the one to change,
You're waiting for the one to blame.

Try to hide the pain and give away a piece of yourself,
Now give me just a minute,
I think I've hit my limit,
I've got something to say.

There’s a thing I gotta mention,
We're a magical invention,
Just three words to say… I Love You.

Coz you and me are beautifully connected,
I don't want be apart from you again,
I don't want be just like good friends.

Coz you and me are beautifully connected,
Oh you said it all oh, oh oh, You said it all (Coz I love you), Close your eyes and wait,
I'm waiting in the wings for you,
I wouldn't if I had to choose.

I swear I won't be late don't give a piece of yourself, Now give me just a minute,
I think I've hit my limit,
I've got something to something to say.

There’s a thing I gotta mention,
We're a magical invention,
Just three words to say… I Love You.

Coz you and me are beautifully connected,
I don't want be apart from you again,
I don't want be just like good friends.

Coz you and me are beautifully connected,
Oh you said it all oh, oh oh, You said it all (Coz I love you).

It's easier to just be alone, to cover up the pain and just go, Away to the places I can hide away and make myself as good as new.
Replenish all the parts that are broke,
Make better use of time and not hope, On the dead stars, there a price you pay on every day you cut and run.
I'm the comeback king, believe me, No man has ever put me down, No man has ever worn this crown, no.
I'm the come back king, believe me, No man has ever put me down, I just keep getting up, getting back up again.
It's easier to just be alone, no broken hearts and no broken bones, It's all about protection, not a cry for your affection.
One last dance in the rain, the final kiss and try to be brave, Our destination has come.
I'm the comeback king, believe me, No man has ever put me down, No man has ever worn this crown, no.
I'm the come back king, believe me, No man has ever put me down, I just keep getting up, getting back up again.
I'm the come back king, believe me, I'm the comeback king, believe me.

Early morning summer bliss,
I wake to your smile and your kiss,
It feels like home, you feel like home.

Silly conversations and secret observations,
I couldn't be happier than I am right now.

Now these are the days we'll cherish as the old,
Now these are the moments we should surely hold tight.

Woah woah ah,
You're the sunshine after rain,
Woah woah ah,
You make this world seem better,
Woah woah ah,
You're the sunshine after rain,
Woah woah ah,
You make it better, make it better every day.

It's the little things you can't compare,
The summer wonderment we share,
It's all right here, it's all right here.

I understand the singer when he wants to stop time spinning,
I couldn't be happier than I am right now.

Now these are the days we'll cherish as the old,
Now these are the moments we should surely hold tight.

Woah woah ah,
You're the sunshine after rain,
Woah woah ah,
You make this world seem better,
Woah woah ah,
You're the sunshine after rain,
Woah woah ah,
You make it better, make it better every day.
