City of Two

Alone I stride through this city
Everyone crumbled and left me here
A lone surviver amongst the ruin
This world is torn at its seams
Alone I stride through this city
Then at the crossing I met you, too
Let's walk together, I wanna go
Anywhere, anywhere, bid this place farewell
On the rundown railway you miss your stop
Just like me, you're along for the ride
Don’t worry now, there’s no need to turn back
Not any more, not any more~
Let’s lose ourselves in the moment,
before the moment itself is lost
Then find ourselves in each other
Where we had been home all along
We’re all that remains here
Amongst the dust, the rubble and dark
But with you I know that soon
The sun will shine down once again
This room is full of dust and stuff
It reminds me of you
In the faint crackle behind the signal
You’re humming a tune
The old radio’s static buzz
It's broken junk, reminds me of us
I imagine your singing voice and then
I’m reminded I’m alone again
Let’s lose ourselves in the moment,
before the moment itself is lost
Then find ourselves in each other
Where we had been home all along
We’re all that remains here
Among the dust, the rubble and dark
But with you I know that soon
The sun will shine down once again
I met you here in our city
A lone surviver here with me
I met you here in our city
It’s time we take our leave
Run away, run away, leave this lonesome hell
Farewell~
This city’s made for two

Green Balloon

My left hand holds a green balloon
While my right hand reaches right out to yours
Oh the sky’s turned so red to see but we’re not done
There’s so much more fun to be had on this day
Oooh~
Your smile lights up the evening park
Shadows dancing, we pirouette round, pirouette down
Oh, you’re a sight for sore eyes, merry go round
La la la~ oh with you, la la~ having fun with me
The air’s cold out, we’re ignited within
I’m all caught up in your wonderland dream, or so it seems
Who cares if we get lost, in fantasy
La la la~ oh this is, la la~ where I wanna be
‘Can’t catch me! can’t catch me!’
Your jeering words ring out
Chasing you chasing me
Hide and seek in the moonlit theme park
I shout and shout your name
No echo sounds
La la la~ your love is~ la la~ nowhere to be found
La la la~
Oooh~
Lost in fantasy
I swear I can still
Hear your soft voice
Behind the carousel tune
I just caught a glimpse
Of your bright smile
Amongst those vibrant lights
Merrily, merrily
The teacups seem to spin
I helter skelter down
And climb up just to slide down again
The moon is rising now
We kiss farewell
La la la~ without you, la la~ only time will tell
La la la~
My left hand holds a green balloon
While my right hand reaches right out to yours
oh the moon’s light fills up the sky but I’m still here
How I hope that I’ll see you tomorrow day
How I hope that you’ll be back again to play
La la la~ oh with you, la la la~ oh some day

Candlelight

Your candle light illuminates the dark roads
Shuffling through the red leaves, holding hands
There’s a sweet scent on the breeze
As you trip and graze your knees
I reach out a hand to pull you up again
Better bring your coat cause
The streets are cold at night, ooh
Hope you brought some matches
To keep us burning bright
Whichever way the wind blows
Just keep your hand in mine, oh
Hold me close and lets walk
Through the night
Like day time into night,
The light raindrops in the breeze
Ooh, let’s stay like this a while
Like darkness into light,
Cool air catches in the trees
No words, as we kiss in the night
Like bonfire flames so bright
You’ve set my heart ablaze
It hurts, but I know that’s alright
Cause it’s you~
You are my candlelight
my cold hands
running through your hair
your warm breath
foggy in the air
our
two hearts
i knew i’d find you there
mmmmmmm
Better hold my hand cause
This path does twist and turn
It’s so very dark out
and we’re so far from home now
Whichever way the wind blows
Just keep your hand in mine, oh
Hold me close and lets walk
Through the night
Your candle light illuminates the dark roads
Shuffling through the red leaves, holding hands
As this night turns into day
I have found my place to stay
Please just keep me burning brightly in your arms, so tight
You are my candlelight, mmm
