1. INTRO

Wij maken een kringetje van jongens en van meisjes
Wij maken een kringetje van tralala
Maak nu een buiging
Maak nu een buiging
Bij de hand
Bij de hand
Pak je ma(a)tje bij de hand
Stop


2. ANOTHER YEAR

I wish you could adore
The way you did before
Now you're living through another year
Oh, the light you were
Will soon become a blur
As you're living through another year

Oh, what a waste of time it is
To indulge inside of bliss
Getting ready for another year like this

Another year to lie
Another year goes by

You're not sick, so you can't heal
But I wonder do you feel
The need to cry: 'I'm out of here'
Oh, your goal is safe
But is it all you crave
As you're living through another year

Oh, what a waste of time it is
To indulge inside of bliss
Getting ready for another year like this

Another year to lie
Another year goes by

Is it me on how I see
The face of mediocrity
I try to smile you see
Your lightness darkens me
Filter all of your emotions
Fake you're never low
Or face the one you fear
You're living through another year

Another year to lie
Another year goes by
Another year to lie
Another year goes by


3. ALMOST HAPPY

If I could look beyond your face
And photograph your hidden place
Would I find you smiling in the picture

I don't know what you want
Because you don't know
So what's the point of asking

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

Far too many ways to go
We learn so much but never know
Where to look
Or when we should stop looking

I can love the whole of you.
The poetry I stole from you
And hide inside my stomach

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

It's easy to get lost in you
And fall asleep inside of you
I want to return to you
A reason to be here
A reason to be here

No, I don't know what you want
As you don't know
So what's the point of asking

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts
You're almost happy
You're almost content
But your head hurts


4. MY HEAD

No, I know what you said
But that doesn't mean that I understand
And you don't know what I meant by that
But it's sweet that you tried
That you're on my side

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

As close, as close as we'll get
We touch and it's gone
I must have been wrong when I thought
Everything melts in us
Though sometimes it does

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

No, I'll never be you
But I don't need to
As long as you love me like you

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
And I would be heard
If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard


5. LIVE FOR REAL

Life has always been a pretty song
And pretty loud
You're so beautiful
Why is it fading out

I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

Now the boy who dried your tears
Is crying all the time
Now the joy I've had for years
Has left me for a while

I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

I will breathe the air, I'll dance
And you will wonder why
It's because you made me see
This chance was moving by

Because I'm not going to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

When a cloud becomes my head
Play your music loud instead
And we'll dance until
The both of us are dead

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real


6. SOMEWHERE

There's something about this day
That feels a lot like yesterday
Everything looks the same
The wall, the tv set
The way I move around myself to be

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me

I never felt like I belonged
To anything or anyone
Still I depend on you
For every single thing
I could be wrong about so much, but

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me

I'm too young to know I'm young
I'm too selfish to be strong
Am I too old
To allow my adolescence to go on

There's something about this day
That's not at all like yesterday
I could be

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me


7. HOME

I was born in a cradle of love
I had two brothers who beat me up
When I was 7 years old
I had a friend named Tom
And when we were together
I didn't want to go home, home

When I was 15, I was very confused
I made a bad habit out of breaking the rules
The kitchen window
Was my door to the night
And when I got caught
They made me stay home, home

I was 20 years old when I met you
And as soon I as saw you
I knew what I had to do
I still remember the way you looked
And how I wanted to tell you
I want to take you home, home

I'm 26 and I still love you
But as far as the world goes
I still don't have a clue
What it's for or what it's about
But until I find out,
I'll just call it home. home


8. TIRED

Show me where you found your faith and
Does it help you sleep at night
I am not that complicated
I just need some time

Because it doesn't feel right
And I'm mostly very tired

Life is easy when you fake it
Right until you realize
Your happiness is unrelated
To anything you have inside

And it doesn't feel right
And I'm mostly very tired

Every chance I get to distract myself
I won't try to convince myself
That there's anything for real or
That we're sure of what we feel

Quiet time is underrated
I still can't stand to be alone
That might be why I'm so unstable
Barely able to hold on

And I just don't feel right
And I'm mostly very tired


9. ALWAYS EVERYWHERE

You turn off the light, kiss me good night
And mother, I know that I'm going to be alright

I just can't wait to grow up
Find my own life, be a good wife
And a smart one, I'm sure

I never took us for granted and I always knew
You and I are special
But I never knew how much I'd miss you

So much has changed and been rearranged
And I see that I've lost
What made me so young and incredibly strong
And never ever wrong
You were always there
Because you're always everywhere

I used to cry for no reason
And that's still the same
Except that I had adolescence to blame
But not now

Now I feel sad because I don't know what's true
And I miss thinking I could be just like you

So much has changed and been rearranged
And I see that I've lost
What made me so young and incredibly strong
And never ever wrong
So much has changed and been rearranged
And I see that I've lost
What made me so sure that I could endure
How hard it is to lose and lose and lose and live again
And never understand

You are always everywhere
You are always everywhere
You're always there
You're always there
You're always everywhere
You're always there
Cause you're always everywhere

You turn off the light, and kiss me goodnight
And mother, I know that I'm going to be alright


10. SHADOWMAN

Any time tomorrow I will lie and say I'm fine
I'll say yes when I mean no
And any time tomorrow
The sun will cease to shine
There's a shadowman who told me so

Any time tomorrow the rain will play a part
Of a play I used to know
Like no other
Used to know it all by heart
But a shadowman inside has let it go

Oh no, let go of my hand
Oh no, not now I'm down, my friend
You came to me anew
Or was it me who came to you
Shadowman, shadowman

Any time tomorrow a part of me will die
And a new one will be born
Any time tomorrow
I'll get sick of asking why
Sick of all the darkness I have worn

Any time tomorrow
I will try to do what's right
Making sense of all I can
Any time tomorrow I'll pretend to see the light
I just might
Shadowman

Oh here's the sun again
Isn't it appealing to recline
Get blinded and to go into the light again
Doesn't it make you sad
To see so much love denied
See nothing but a shadowman inside

Oh no, let go of my hand
Oh no, not now I'm down, my friend
You came to me anew
Or was it me who came to you
Shadowman

Oh, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect
Please, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect

Oh, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect
Please, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect


11. FAVORITE ADVENTURE

There you are
Your beauty consoles me
I've gone far
And I almost didn't find you
And I almost lived without you
There is nothing in this world
I'd rather do
Than live in you

Here we go
Our favorite adventure
You should know
I was never more complete
And I never thought I'd see
The meaning of my life
Wrapped in you
Next to me

If you ever fear
Someday we might lose this
Come back here
To this moment that will last
And time can go so fast
When everything's exactly
Where it's at
Its very best


12. BUSY

You think you haven't changed
You think I'm being sentimental
You've finally reached that age
Security is fundamental

You think you haven't changed
You think that you're just growing older
You wanted to be safe
But it turned you into someone colder

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself
You think you haven't changed

Is anyone to blame
I'd really like to think it's you
But it seems like that's the way
Everyone but me is going

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face.
Do you still see a trace of yourself

I'm losing all of you
To future plans and obligations
I guess that's what you do
When life's about your next vacation

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face
Do you still see a trace of yourself

You think you haven't changed
You think you haven't changed


13. ALL

Is there anything you want from me
My arms, my life, my energy
I don't know how far I can go
Everything says no
But you know how it goes when
You're used to your side of the bed

I know you don't belong in this room
But you're here now
So what can I do

All that I am is
All I was taught to be
All that you are is
A wall between myself and me

Have you ever really looked at me
Or thought about me secretly
Do I make you wonder at all
About the speed of light
Outside our little world we might not
Feel so alone and

I know you don't belong in this room
But you're here now
So what can I do

All that I am is
All I was taught to be
All that you are is
A wall between myself and me

All that I am is
All I was taught to be
All that you are is
A wall between myself and me


14. ALREADY THERE (HIDDEN SONG)

Go on my love
I know you must go
But if there were a way
I would keep you home

You'll fight for the tears
In the eyes of our child
As she stares at the hands
Of her brother who died

For our future, our land
Or the freedom to dance
Wherever the music
Might lead us my friends

You died all alone
And I no longer pray
Cause if there were a God
He'd have let you stay

So tomorrow I'll burn
Our house to the ground
And we'll join you up there
We no longer care

About the future, our land
Or the freedom to dance
Wherever you are
We're already there
