i'd be surprisingly good for you

i don't always rush in like this
twenty seconds after saying hello
telling strangers i'm too good to miss
if i'm wrong i hope you'll tell me so
but you really should know, i'd be good for you
i'd be surprisingly good for you

i won't go on if i'm boring you
but do you understand my point of view?
do you like what you hear, what you see
and would you be, good for me too?

lover i don't have to love

i picked you out of a crowd and talked to you
i said i liked your shoes
you said, "thanks, can i follow you?"
so it's up the stairs and out of view
no prying eyes
i poured some wine
i asked your name, you asked the time

i want a lover i don't have to love
i want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
where's the kid with the chemicals?
i've got a hunger and i can't seem to get full
i need some meaning i can memorize
the kind i have always seems to slip my mind

love's an excuse to get hurt
and to hurt.

fast car

and i had a feeling i could be someone

(tracy chapman)

wir hatten den moment

ich möchte ganz genau jetzt einfach bei dir sein
und zuallerletzt verstehen dass es nicht geht
will den moment nochmal entfalten
ich will dich nur noch einmal halten

coffee and cigarettes

i gave up coffee and cigarettes
i hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
i thought my problems would just dissipate
and all my pain would be in yesterday

i poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
and watched my bad habits get flushed away
i thought that that would keep my head on straight
and all my pain would be in yesterday

but it’s true
i’m still blue
but i finally know what to do
i must quit, i must quit, you

(michelle featherstone)

almost lover

i can not go to the ocean
i can not drive the streets at night
i can not wake up in the morning
without you on my mind
so you're gone and i'm haunted
and i bet you are just fine
did i make it that
easy to walk right in and out
of my life?

(a fine frenzy)

es wird nicht leicht sein

es wird nicht leicht sein
wir müssen bereit sein dafür
dann wird es gehen
es kann kein vielleicht sein
wir müssen es einfach probieren
dann wird es gehen
