A thing about you
(words and music, Per Gessle)

I pick up the phone I'm dialin' your number while I pray you're at home,
At home and alone cos I can't function on my own and I'll never stop believin'
The reapin' is done you are the one
The radio is on but the sound is all gone and I want to walk out in the sun
But lately that's been very hard to do
I've got a thing about you and I don't really know what to do
cos I've got a thing about you, hey you
I pick up the phone I'm dialin' that number and
my heart like a stone waits for the tone
"Oh I can't make it on my own and I'll never stop believin'"
I know what is right and this is so wrong
Alone in my bed, better off on my own
The TV is on but the colours are gone
And lately you've been paintin' my world blue
I've got a thing about you and I don't really care what you do
I've got a thing about you yea you
Lately you've been paintin' my world blue
I've got a thing about you and I don't really know what to do
I've got a thing about you
Hopin' this story cuts through
Yea, I've got a thing about you
A thing about you

Breathe
(words and music, Per Gessle)

I've got to come down, I've been awake far too long
My eyes look torn, they were so strong
I wore the crown, I wrote the song, now it's fading
My heart was open like a window to a summer breeze
I breathed your love, I filled my lungs and veins
And I breathed your love until I felt the pain and like rain it slipped away
I tried to find out what love was really all about
Behind the curtain waits the sky
It's rare I feel enough to cry, I'm drying up inside
My life was open like a window to the summer breeze
I breathed your love, I filled my lungs and veins
And I breathed your love until I met the pain
and like rain it slipped away just like a little rain
I breathed your love and nothing stayed the same
Yes, I breathed your love and filled my heart in vain
Cos like rain it slipped away, just like rain it swept away


CD BONUS

The weight of the world
(words and music, Per Gessle)

Sunday morning I'm still hiding in bed
Listen to the rythm of the rain above my head
And all that I've said, I should've save the love for you
But what could I do ? If I've been talking to the wall
It wouldn't make any difference to you, that's the art of being you
I think I carry the weight of the world, sometimes you loose
The weight of the world, sometimes you cry
I kissed you smile, I wish you'll stay the night
I put my arms arround your golden hair and turn of the lights
Oh I loved to watch your eyes when I make love to you
Weight little world, sometimes you loose
The weight of the world, sometimes you cry

It hurts
(words and music, Per Gessle)

Can you tell me where it leads when it's never ending
Can you tell me where to go when no-one's home
And I know, You know, It hurts
It hurts to be alone
You're on your own, on a one-way train going down
Can you tell me what to say when there's no-one listening
Can you show me what to do when all is done
Oh I know, You know, it hurts
It hurts to be alone, the plan has gone wrong
Like a runaway train going down
Oh, going down down down, going down?
Yes I know, You know , it hurts
It hurts to be alone, you're on your own
On a one way train going down

See me
(words, Per Gessle and music Marie Fredriksson)

With the moon and the sun in his eyes he's arriving
And I don't know what I'd do without him I got life suddenly
See, see me, I've got nothig to hide
See me, I've got nothing to hide
See me
I'm leaving my heart in the palm of his hand so gently
I know he knows that I love him
Though I've never said is there an easy way
See, see me, I've got nothig to hide
See me, I've got nothing to hide, see me
Coming home, I'm coming home
It feels like I'm coming home
Coming home, I'm coming home

Every day
(words, Per Gessle and music, Marie Fredriksson)

Every day I see him coming, every day he walks on by
Life used to be so plain and simple before he came into my life
Every night I keep on dreaming, every night I take him home
We always go to bed together, I always wake up all alone
Oh it's strange, so strange what he's doing to me
Oh it's strange so strange, did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me, the way it just happened to me
Every day outside my window, always minutes close to eight
I wish he stayed a little longer but his bus is never late
Every night we're dancing slowly, I play the music he adores
Like Sinatra then we're talking all important things for sure
Oh it's strange, so strange what he's doing to me
Oh it's strange so strange, did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me, the way it just happened to me
Oh it's strange so strange what he's doing to me
Oh so strange real strange, did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me, the way it just happened to me
