"This is the final boarding call for passengers:
Strid, Forslund, Lundman, Ehrnborn
Källsbäck, D'Angelo, Brygård, Lönnmyr
Booked on [?] Air, Flight 0998 to Tashkent
Please proceed to Gate 3 immediately"
				

[Verse 1]
A last grand escape, and I'm ready to go
Got my life back together, never felt so cold
What a great time to be alive
Now there's a great opportunity behind every smile

[Pre-Chorus]
Building walls to shut out everything I've ever felt
Mind's stuck in a dream, elevating to a level
That was always meant for me

[Chorus]
Can I get a break? It seems like everything will unfold
Any other time would be much bettеr for me and my soul
Is there any wondеr why I'm spiraling out of control?
(Another place, another day)
Please don't make it harder for me
Forgive and forget, no regrets, as we go

[Verse 2]
A glorious way of just shifting gears
A traveling man who won't shed a tear
Exploring the inside, but carrying a shield
Harboring feelings, won't stop the wheel

[Pre-Chorus]
Building walls to shut out everything I've ever felt
Mind's stuck in a dream, elevating to a level
That was always meant for me

[Chorus]
Can I get a break? It seems like everything will unfold
Any other time would be much better for me and my soul
Is there any wonder why I'm spiraling out of control?
(Another place, another day)
Please don't make it harder for me
Forgive and forget, no regrets, as we go

[Bridge]
I sense the light is fading
Don't know why I'm still chasing love

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Can I get a break? It seems like everything will unfold
Any other time would be much better for me and my soul
Is there any wonder why I'm spiraling out of control?
(Another place, another day)
Please don't make it harder for me
Forgive and forget, no regrets, as we go

"Welcome dear passengers
We are now in orbit
So sit back and relax
It's gonna be a long and interesting flight"
				

[Verse 1: Björn Strid]
Here we are in a distant slumber
The silence is our friend
Down we went from a night in London
To a morning in Tashkent
We used to smile just to feel the rush
Weaving dreams at the age of ten
Open roads and a solid future
Whispering how, where and then when
No pain, no damn revenge

[Chorus: Björn Strid, Björn Strid, Anna Brygård, Åsa Lundman]
I believe that we're still young
Shooting velvet from a gun
There will always be a time for us - together
I believe we're on the run
And we know it must be done
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever
And come undone...

[Verse 2: Björn Strid, Anna Brygård & Åsa Lundman, All]
Dreams of unity still guiding us through
In the fabric of our time (Whoa oh oh whoa oh)
Echoes of our past still ringing
Rekindling our light
Sparks set on fire within ourselves
Straining every small town heart
Can you feel it, that used to be us
Singing of our dreams once lost (Ahhh Oh)
We were underneath the stars
Whoa oh oh oh

[Chorus: Björn Strid, Björn Strid, Anna Brygård, Åsa Lundman]
I believe that we're still young
Shooting velvet from a gun
There will always be a time for us - together
I believe we're on the run
And we know it must be done
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever
And come undone...

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Björn Strid, Anna Brygård, Åsa Lundman]
Come on and turn it around...

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Björn Strid, Björn Strid, Anna Brygård, Åsa Lundman]
I believe that we're still young
Shooting velvet from a gun
There will always be a time for us - together
I believe we're on the run
And we know it must be done
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever, and ever
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever
And come undone...
				

[Verse 1]
Night shadows creeping up on me
Going under, drown in your deceit
Watch me fall again, now to my knees
Bleeding hands from holding on too long
Can't somebody out here hear my call?
Conquered chains no longer holding up this broken wall

[Chorus]
Like the beating of a heart
Slowly coursing through my veins
Like the beating of a heart
Solitude now is my fate
Like the beating of a heart
Drain this blood from every part
Every part of me, you'll see
Like the beating of a heart

[Verse 2]
See the fire burning up ahead
But all I feel is the heat of you instead
Won't touch, 'causе now I've had my lesson learnеd
Move like poison, under everything
No escape as you make your way slowly in
Cannot breathe, suck the air, and now I see you're bad for me

[Chorus]
Like the beating of a heart
Slowly coursing through my veins
Like the beating of a heart
Solitude now is my fate
Like the beating of a heart
Drain this blood from every part
Every part of me, you'll see
Like the beating of a heart

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Like the beating of a heart
Slowly coursing through my veins
Like the beating of a heart
Solitude now is my fate
Like the beating of a heart
Drain this blood from every part
Every part of me, you'll see
Like the beating of a heart
				

[Intro]
"The cabin will be pressurized during the flight, however
If oxygen is required, masks like these will drop automatically
From the unit above your head"

[Verse 1]
In another place and time
She always let you blow your mind
It will bring you up, then down, repeat, again
Always been my sweet escape
Every romance, every laneway
Everything's etched deep down, no escape

[Pre-Chorus]
And if we could collide again in a way
Then you know if I could, I'd be much obliged to stay

[Chorus]
Melbournе, all I really care about is feeling alive
And it seems it's all happеning tonight
Yeah, for a moment, put those troubles aside
All my memories are all intertwined
I flew 10,000 miles to feel alright
And I keep coming back just in time
Thy cure is precious, though it makes me blind
Melbourne, may I?

[Post-Chorus]
Melbourne, may I?

[Verse 2]
I will never be the same
Dead Can Dance in the summer rain
Towering mirrors in the sky
Amidst the city's glowing lights
Lost in shadows, I am lost in time
In a state when everything felt fine

[Pre-Chorus]
And if we could collide again in a way
Then you know if I could, I'd be much obliged to stay

[Chorus]
Melbourne, all I really care about is feeling alive
And it seems it's all happening tonight
Yeah, for a moment, put those troubles aside
All my memories are all intertwined
I flew 10,000 miles to feel alright
And I keep coming back just in time
Thy cure is precious, though it makes me blind
Melbourne, may I?

[Post-Chorus]
Melbourne, may I?
[Guitar Solo - 03:31-03:44]
[Keyboard Solo - 03:44-03:56]

[Pre-Chorus]
And if we could collide again in a way
Then you know if I could, I'd be much obliged to stay

[Chorus]
Melbourne, all I really care about is feeling alive
And it seems it's all happening tonight
Yeah, for a moment, put those troubles aside
All my memories are all intertwined
I flew 10,000 miles to feel alright
And I keep coming back just in time
Thy cure is precious, though it makes me blind
Melbourne, may I?

[Outro]
Oh, Melbourne, may I?
Oh
				

[Verse 1]
It's never what it seems, living in a lonely time
Chasing dreams while we still can
Through dimensions and cosmic lands
We gaze into the night, longing for the great unknown
There's a canvas of stars in the air
Golden rays that could take us there

[Pre-Chorus]
I think I hear you call my name
I feel the signal coming through
Beyond the realms, we'll find our way
I just hope we remain

[Chorus]
Get together
Now or never, 'cause our hopes are just bursting at the seams
No more pressurе
Way more pleasure, all wе've got is our miracles and needs

[Verse 2]
The strangest little deed, making it a life worthwhile
Goes a long way and sets the pace
Once again, you will be amazed
The wind's getting colder, but here comes another blessed year
Can you shelter your love through the rain
Or to you, it is nothing but games?

[Pre-Chorus]
I think I hear you call my name
I feel the signal coming through
Beyond the realms, we'll find our way (Find our way)
I just hope we remain

[Chorus]
Get together
Now or never, 'cause our hopes are just bursting at the seams
No more pressure
Way more pleasure, all we've got is our miracles and needs
Get together
Now or never, 'cause our hopes are just bursting at the seams
No more pressure
Way more pleasure, all we've got is our miracles and needs

[Bridge]
So, if we get another shot to live
Is there a dawn for all that we've forgotten
And the way we used to cherish and always forgive?

[Keyboard Solo - 03:03-03:27]
[Guitar Solo - 03:27-03:54]

[Pre-Chorus]
Get together (Get together)
Now or never, 'cause our hopes are just bursting at the seams
No more pressure (No more pressure)
Way more pleasure, all we've got is our miracles and needs
[Chorus]
Get together
Now or never, 'cause our hopes are just bursting at the seams
No more pressure
Way more pleasure, all we've got is our miracles and needs
Miracles and your needs (Miracles and needs)
Get together
Now or never, 'cause our hopes are just bursting at the seams
No more pressure
Way more pleasure, all we've got is our miracles and needs
				

[Verse 1]
You don't need to go back anymore
At 9 a.m., you'll walk out through that door
Can you feel those dreams come alive again?
Down that road, you no longer will depend
Ah-ha

[Verse 2]
He let you down way too many times
Drowning your sorrows almost every night
Oh oh-ooh-oh
There's a time and place for everything
Mend your heart, Paloma, let it sing
Oh-oh-oh
Now let it sing

[Chorus]
You can see your reflection in the stars at night
The fear, it will stay until you leave him behind
A faux desert flower in a dark summer sky
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
There's a future worth believing in
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
Look beyond, Paloma, take it in
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
Everything's different from the skies above
Always in motion, but so damn hard to love
There's a time and place for everything
The things you've seen, Paloma, remembering
Remembering

[Chorus]
You can see your reflection in the stars at night
The fear, it will stay until you leave it behind
A faux desert flower in a dark summer sky
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
There's a future worth believing in
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
Look beyond, Paloma, take it in
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 4]
You don't need to go back anymore
At 9 a.m., you'll walk out through that door
Can you feel those dreams come alive again?
Down that road, you no longer will depend
You won't depend
Let it sing

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh-oh
You can see your reflection in the stars at night (You can se it in the stars)
The fear, it will stay until you leave it behind (Until you leave it all behind)
A faux desert flower in a dark summer sky
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
There's a future worth believing in (Future worth believing in)
Look beyond, Paloma, take it in
Oh-oh-oh
Oh
				

[Verse 1]
Come on up, let's take this flight
Interstellar spree
Nebula of glowing light
It's just you and me
Dark matter and cosmic tides
In expanse, we find our grace
We withstand the cosmic heat
Through the astral plains

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear shadows whispers of a past I've seen before
Tonight, I will conquer fears and strive for something more

[Chorus]
With every step I take, I'm closer to the edge
And if I fall, I'll rise again
Do you remember when we followed every dream?
Something about us is etched within, endlessly

[Verse 2]
Through the darkness of the night
In a swirling dance
Love transcends where space abides
Lost among the heavens

[Pre-Chorus]
In this raging chaos, we will find serenity
There are no reflections in the void, just you and me

[Chorus]
With every step I take, I'm closer to the edge
And if I fall, I'll rise again
Do you remember when we followed every dream?
Something about us is etched within, endlessly

[Bridge]
I can't hide my feelings, something isn't right
I wanna thrive on desire and those whispering lights
Then again, I know there's nobody better than you
I just wasn't ready for the truth, ooh-ooh
How about you?
Oh-oh

[Guitar Solo - 03:02-03:17]
[Keyboard Solo - 03:17-03:34]

[Chorus]
With every step I take, I'm closer to the edge
And if I fall, I'll rise again (Rise again)
Do you remember when we followed every dream?
Something about us is etched within (Etched within)
With every step I take, I'm closer to the edge
And if I fall, I'll rise again (I'll rise again)
Do you remember when we followed every dream?
Something about us is etched within, endlessly
				

[Verse 1]
I have often stopped and wonder why the sky's falling down
Are we getting close to the end?
How we rush but try to ponder while taking things in
And fail to understand

We're all aching for a change now, something better than this
Not a castle on a hill
Nor a healer, nor a leader, nor a saint or a ghost
Who will tell you "I'm your man"

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's go all the way and show
Paint your soul with all that you've known
Feelings overflow
Feel your spirit rise as we go

[Chorus]
Give it to us right now
Give us the moon, it's our only salvation
Better be soon, then the sun will come next
Give us the moon and the right medication

[Verse 2]
As we wallow in our heartache, and won't fall asleep
With the darkness closing in
There must be another way now, where we just have to face
Where we're heading and where we've been

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's go all the way and show
Paint your soul with all that you've known
Feelings overflow
Feel your spirit rise as we go

[Chorus]
Give it to us right now
Give us the moon, it's our only salvation
Better be soon, then the sun will come next
Give us the moon and the right medication

[Keyboard Solo]

[Chorus]
Give it to us right now
Give us the moon, it's our only salvation
Better be soon, then the sun will come next
Give us the moon and the right medication

[Outro]
Give us the moon
				

[Verse 1]
I've got a promise to keep while I'm breathing
Your silhouette will be stuck in my mind for long
Chateaus and concrete was something you needed
It's never easy to keep up the pace of love

[Pre-Chorus]
Until the day that I die I'll see it through
Until the day that I die I'll be with you

[Chorus]
So now all we ever fought for has won
And I'm stuck here with a loaded gun
Within a Paris point of view and you're gone
It's my biggest mistake but I'm holding on
To the demons that were here to pretend
That wе'll never be thе same again
I guess this Paris point of view is the end
It's my biggest mistake and I'm holding on
Mais je t'aime (Mais je t'aime)

[Verse 2]
In every heartbeat our love was the reason
Tes yeux marrons will be stuck in my mind for long
Cafés and alleys won't swallow our secrets
I sense you're thinking he's all wine, women and song

[Pre-Chorus]
Until the day that I die I will subdue
All those memories of pain from when I lost you

[Chorus]
So now all we ever fought for has won
And I'm stuck here with a loaded gun
Within a Paris point of view and you're gone
It's my biggest mistake but I'm holding on
To the demons that were here to pretend
That we'll never be the same again
I guess this Paris point of view is the end
It's my biggest mistake and I'm holding on
Comment je t'aime...

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
So now all we ever fought for has won
And I'm stuck here with a loaded gun
Within a Paris point of view and you're gone
It's my biggest mistake but I'm holding on
To the demons that were here to prevent
That we'll never be the same again
I guess this Paris point of view is the end
It's my biggest mistake and I'm holding on
Mais je t'aime...
				

[Intro/Skit]
Cab Driver: Good evening sir
Björn: Good evening
Cab Driver: So where ya headed?
Björn: I'd like to go... somewhere, Queens Street, East
Cab Driver: Sorry, Pal
You're gonna have to be a little bit more specific than that
Björn: I can't be more specific than that, I'm afraid
Actually you know what, just drop me off at the Royal York hotel
And I'll... I'll start my journey from there
Cab Driver: Your journey?
Björn: Yes sir, this is my journey back
I used to live in the city a long time ago

[Verse 1]
Down on the corner of Yonge Street and Dundas, it came to my mind
I surе do love this city, but sure feels like a dеad end tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Then I said to myself, now or never
Gravitation was failing
Light as a feather
Sending myself down a path I just couldn't forsake

[Chorus]
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else?
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways

[Verse 2]
They say that burdens are blessings, but I just don't know anymore
My feelings must've been laced, as I bled on Ontario shores
Whoa-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know I'll carry those moments forever
But gravitation was failing
Light as a feather
Sending ourselves down a path we just couldn't forsake

[Chorus]
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else?
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways

[Bridge/Instrumental Break]
Every year holds a lingering sense
Where have I gone?
Every bridge I ever built was welcomed by a storm
Woo-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah!

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else? (Everything else)
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else? (Everything else)
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro/Guitar Solo]
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
				

[Verse 1]
That's when I tell ya
I have had enough of fear
Walking in shadows now
Until you call my name
Down in the city
As the night begins to fall
You are much closer now
Yet it's a constant maze

[Pre-Chorus]
Our secret somehow turned me loose
I saved myself from being used
An act of love but now it all falls down
I saw you standing in the light
A creature of a different kind
A never-ending chase, yet always around
I can feel your heart from miles away

[Chorus]
Save me...
From the darkness deep inside
You are fire, you are wine
You are always on my mind
Take me...
To a place where we can hide
Overcome, set love alight
What a way to spend the night


[Verse 2]
Out of the silence
She's a sapphire in the dark
She's all a mystery
But she is mine to hold

[Pre-Chorus]
Our secret somehow turned me loose
I saved myself from getting used
Signs from above, but now it all falls down
The way you make these alleys shine
A temple for the yearning kind
She's full of secrets, whispering with no sound
I can feel your heart from miles away

[Chorus]
Save me...
From the darkness deep inside
You are fire, you are wine
You are always on my mind
Take me...
To a place where we can hide
Overcome, set love alight
What a way to spend the night
The night
[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel your heart from miles away

[Chorus]
Save me...
From the darkness deep inside
You are fire, you are wine
You are always on my mind
Take me...
To a place where we can hide
Overcome, set love alight
What a way to spend the night
Well alright!
				

[Verse 1]
As I write these words I am up in the skies above
I am out of control and I just don't know how to love
I have tried many times but my youth just seem to catch up with me
From a loving father who meant so well but shut down my dreams
He keeps on coming around...

[Refrain]
But you... your spirit came out of the blue
Oh you... my fate was as good as new

[Pre-Chorus]
We could be a dream, we could be a sanctuary
For everlasting love, for complicated symphonies

[Chorus]
Tell me you can see it through
The damage I did to you
Captain of pain is here for you... too
For you...

[Verse 2]
I remember the smell in the air when our paths once crossed
Verona, Catullo in a split of a second I'd lost
It was the sky in your eyes that just suddenly made me believe I'd win
Over a turbulent past and that clouded self image I'd carried within
You keep on coming around...

[Refrain]
You... your spirit came out of the blue
Oh you... my fate was as good as new
Oh you... something Zürich or Seoul couldn't do

[Pre-Chorus]
We could be a dream, we could be a sanctuary
An everlasting love, a complicated symphony
Listen to my self-inflicted blues
There is nothing I can do to get to you
I have traveled far and wide you know
Seen your face a thousand times

[Chorus]
Tell me you can see it through
The damage I did to you
Captain of pain is here for you... too

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Nothing was sacred until I saw you
A ghost of the seasons, a shadow of truth
Out of the silence, I'm under a spell
You are the reason I constantly dwell... dwell... dwell...
[Chorus]
Tell me you can see it through
Our sunrise was coming anew
Every delusion, every move
(Every move, every move, every move, every move, every move)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
As I write these words I am up in the skies above
I am out of control and I just don't know how to love...
You keep on coming around...
