DEVICS - PUSH THE HEART
LIE TO ME
you’re wasting all your time here
riding around in the sun
alone and idling
come wander back to me
you know I’ll always be there
lie to me
lie to me
make like you love me
lie to me
lie to me
oh…
with this one you never go
and this one you never show yourself
with this one you tell it all
and turn your world into a ghost town
lie to me
lie to me
make like you love me
lie to me
c’mon it’s easy
oh…
don’t think of what we can’t be
i know what you need and you know that you like it
the name you were born with
your soul on your sleeve
let me believe in something
A SECRET MESSAGE TO YOU
this is what a made
made it just for you
it’s better than a letter
i’m sending it to you
it is made of wood
mMud and salt and glue
i wanted to build it big
and sail away with you
this is where the wood
started to get loose
and this is where I painted little deer
a secret message to you
it’s tiny sail that I cut from a magazine
with the letters of your name
i want to see it go
it wishes it was in the sea tonight
and I weighed it with an anchor
just an eraser
it is really much too small to use
i ran out glue
you could put it in the water
and pretend that I am there with you
sailing in the sea together
me and you…
SALTY SEAS
i'm not saying that
i felt like you cared
i'm not saying that
i want to go back
the salty sea behind the eyes
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
i was so green
nothing could touch me
I'm not saying that
this is good or bad
i'm not saying that
i wanna go
the salty sea behind the eyes
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
the summer dream behind the eye
and it's the sleep that makes me alive
the sudden ease when you arrive
and it's you
that makes me try
SONG FOR A SLEEPING GIRL
I had to taste to see it close
but you're already there
right next to me
how could you ever find
a better place to be
you're breathing slowly
i let you hold me
i left you so many times
while you were next to me
your brown hair on the bed
i wanted you to see
this is a song
for a silent sleeping girl
she wants nothing
but to wake and find you there
the words you whisper
they fade in morning
then I look at her
and her sleeping face
her foot resting in mine
and then I know my place
this is a song
for a silent sleeping girl
she wants nothing
but to wake and find you there
you there
DISTANT RADIO
they say you walk closely to the ground
to the ground
they say you hear voices
singing wires ease your pain
balancing on poles and chains
distant waves on the radio
it’s the sound of the weeping
distant waves on the radio
and their calling out your name
they say you walk close to the ground
to the ground
so that you can always hear
distant whispers in your ear
distant waves on the radio
it’s the sound of the weeping
distant waves on the radio
and their calling out your name
and I’m leaving tonight
gonna get what is mine
voices lead to no good
voices want to have you
distant waves on the radio
it’s the sound of the weeping
distant waves on the radio
and their calling out to you
JUST ONE BREATH
he’s all I know
and I know he needs me
lips are a shore
through a mouth into sea
cause it makes no sense
to walk in the dark
again and again
so I push the heart
it’s alright though
icould let go
with just one breath
i could wait there under water
until the moment I release into air
he’s all I have
all I have in my mind
wings are a path
on a back into sky
then you circle above
just to frame the view
and it makes no sense
but it’s clear to you
it’s alright though
i could let go
with just one breath
i could wait there under water
until the moment I release into air
MOMENTS
moments and moments
that come
and take all the other moments
with them
days, days
to the light, to the light
we dance, dance
don’t know why
and wait, wait
for the moments
never come
meanwhile
wanting to drop
all the moments of defeat
just forget all the scenes
when you gave up control
eyes and tears and aches and bones and gold and fire
and on the other side are all the things you want to have here
and all the mysteries that you keep to yourself
are all the miseries that you hide from the world for
and you’d die just to get what you want
but what for?
moments and moments
that come
and take all the other moments with them
color bars that follow
waves of endless chords
all your tears tomorrow
just to get what you want
eyes and tears and aches and bones and gold and fire
and on the other side are all the things you want to have here
and all the mysteries that you keep to yourself
are all the miseries that you hide from the world for
and you’d die just to get what you want…
IF WE CANNOT SEE
you were born with a heart that can never be filled
and a head like snow that can never be still
there are streets paved with gold that shine so bright
but you force yourself to look away
if we can’t see now we might never see
we only kill ourselves more slowly
if you can’t find love than you will finally see
how we kill ourselves slowly
the words that fall from your mouth
they crystallize and break on the ground
and everything you want you don’t have
but you force yourself to look away
if we can’t see now we might never see
we only kill ourselves more slowly
if you can’t find love than you will finally see
how we kill ourselves….slowly
if you can’t find love
than you can’t find me
if you close your eyes
than you will finally see
that you’re already here with me
CITY LIGHTS
here, here
let’s just stay here
you should love me here
here, here
let’s just stay here
I should love you dear
when the wind comes
and the sun again my love
i’ll be here
i found a way true
In silence with you
what do you hear
and what do you want to hear
here, here
get me out of here
wake me under city lights
an apple and a kiss on my ear
fly like days
let time erase
all our mistakes
i found a way true
In silence with you
what do you hear
and what do you want to hear
COME UP
what did you mean
'there's too many angels here'
is it the sweet ones that keep you here
or did you mean that everyone you love
is already gone, too early
whatever you mean
i came to mine and realized
that it's all fake
but I love to dream
and to feel everything
come up, come up
it's so hard to love when you know how it goes
come up, come up
waves of pleasure waves of control
and the waves run their course
turn into foam
they start with a roar and then it's back home
come up
it's at the shows
i feel so alive
and otherwise
there's a craving so bright
well my friend with not many words
but it's just as well cause what are they for
you see through me you make me quiet
you know all the words so why should I hide it
when love starts up
you can't escape
you run and you hide
duck under the waves
come up, come up
and when you do it's there to greet you
come up, come up
water and sand and fish all around you
come up
