Windowsill

Hold me hanging from your windowsill

Drop me like you know you never will

Separate me in a pile of photographs

Pictures painted of the simple life we've left back home

So brush those old chords off your old guitar

Bow to thank the flickering yellow stars

For hearing you sing 'bout the ever dying youth

The many lives you've lived inside your sunblocked room

And memories, they shall no longer be abused in poetry

"I'm so far away from where I thought I'd be today"

These are the words we never dare to say out loud

A ballad talks of love like it's a game

As years go by its rhymes remain the same

My jokes float, blinking in the air like fireflies

You watch'em go off, sitted, smiling like a bride

And juggling thoughts of wether we should go outside

Or stay here

Not that far away from where we'd hoped we'd be someday

With all these words we never say but sing out loud

Baby I'm so far away from where I hoped I'd be today

With all these words we never dare to say out loud

Every hour farther away from writing songs of departed days

When there were words we wouldn't ever say out loud

Just say it out loud.
