Chasing Ghosts Hey old friend, nice to see you again You seem to be doing fine, but something has changed Yeah I know you’ve grown a beer muscle and lost some hair But that’s not what I’m talking about It feels like we lost something as the years passed by ‘Cause we can take some pills get naked and throw the house out the window Just like in the good old days, in the good old days But it ain’t the same, it ain’t the same And it won’t be the same again Hey little girl, what happened to you? You used to be inspired, full of passion and fire And now you’ve turned into to a woman, experienced and cold You said it’s something to do with maturity And adjusting to a collective reality And I should stop being a little boy chasing foolish dreams Just like in the good old days, in the good old days ‘Cause it ain’t the same, it ain’t the same And it won’t be the same again Hey old lover, we gave it a go again But although we had improved objectively, we saw no stars There was nothing to win or lose; it was just a good fuck But I shouldn’t criticise your life when there’s honesty in your smile And you seem to be at peace with the excuses you made up For not doing the things you said you would Back in the good old days, in the good old days Well, it ain’t the same, it ain’t the same And it won’t be the same again Stop wasting time chasing ghosts from the past Stop wasting time chasing ghosts from the past Stop wasting time chasing ghosts from the past Stop wasting time chasing ghosts from the past Cause it ain’t be the same, it ain’t the same And it won’t be the same again

A Corner in my Head There’s a corner in my head that stores the words I never said to anyone An impressive collection of empty wisdom, indeed It stores a perfect answer To every question I’ve been asked But if it’s stored in there It just never reached the light I guess we wouldn’t have to fight if I’d been able to pronounce a few words And now they’re stored inside my head among the other unsaid solutions And there’s a perfect answer To every question I’ve been asked But if it’s in that place It will never reach the light Well, I can spend nights on end Recalling the words I once should have said And if you think of me as dry, it’s ‘cause my wit is storded inside, unpronounced If you find me hard to trust, it’s ‘cause my best lies never touched my mouth And there’s a perfect answer To every question I’ve been asked But if it’s in that place It will never reach the light

Lake Khövsgöl I like the bottom of the lake I like to feel the wind blow right through me I like to hear the waves break Don’t need to talk to anyone I like to sing songs to myself I like to walk behind my shadow But when I hear those sweet words That’s when it all falls apart I wasn’t really looking for anyone And usually I don’t know what I want until it’s gone But she waited me out Through my doubts And where there used to be a hole, there’s now a home Sometimes I miss the lonely days When no one knows my name But then I hear those sweet words That’s when it all falls apart I wasn’t really looking for anyone And usually I don’t know what I want until it’s gone But she waited me out Through my doubts And where there used to be a hole, there’s now a home I wasn’t really looking for anyone And usually I don’t know what I want until it’s gone But she waited me out Through my doubts And where there used to be a hole, there’s now a home

A Place Called Home It’s no surprise, but I had to know for sure I just don’t belong here anymore I guess I longed for a change, but everything’s the same, the same as before I used to dream, but now I can’t even sleep It feels like you’re moving, but your standing still And everyone is rowing the boat, there’s no time to stand up and rock it And you, oh you like to talk about work And you only get drunk at weekends And you, oh you prefer to complain Well, there’s gotta be another way I’m just feeling bored and lonely It’s all too mediocre to believe in But I was taught to call this home It’s quite hard to be nice when giving is a sin But I don’t blame anyone, we were born into this It all comes down to fear, my friend, otherwise you wouldn’t be an honest citizen And you, oh you like to talk about work And you only get drunk at weekends And you, oh you prefer to complain Well, there’s gotta be another way I’m just feeling bored and lonely It’s all too mediocre to believe in But I was taught to call this home

Someone to Listen to I’ve travelled this world around Without the guidance from anyone And still don’t feel like settling down anywhere I’ve heard the promises of society But I’m not looking for security I only listen to what I feel at the time I don’t believe I need someone To help me from falling In fact, I’m doing perfectly fine on my own But I could still improve With someone there right by my side I’m not afraid to let you through As an equal as someone to listen to I don’t need a place to rest my mind And money I can live with or without And I take the blame for all mistakes I’ve done I don’t look for happiness in someone else Well, I even like to drink alone Yeah, I’m doing perfectly fine on my own But I could still improve With someone there right by my side I’m not afraid to let you through As an equal as someone to listen to But I could still improve With someone there right by my side I’m not afraid to let you through As an equal as someone to listen to
