Nico Groenendijk Lyrics

Places I Don't Know

Always on the run

So little time

I don’t know how so many miles gone by

It almost felt so perfect

But really have to go

Always on the run

So little time

Something makes inside me

A plan to go

It draws a map with places I don’t know

It almost felt so perfect

But really have to go

Always on the run

So little time

Things I never meant were said so free

Darkness now surrounds the old oak tree

It almost felt so perfect

But really have to go

It shows a map with places

Places I don’t know

Always on the run

So little time

Nico Groenendijk Lyrics

How Does It Feel?

How does it feel

When it’s broken now

When it’s over now

When I’m no one now

How does it feel

Being lonely now

Do you miss me now

When I’m no one now

Sunshine will always be the same

On a summers day

Sunshine will always be the same

On a winters day

How does it feel

When it’s broken now

When it’s over now

When I’m no one now

How does it feel

Being lonely now

Did you miss me now

Being no one now

Sunshine will always be the same

On a summers day

Sunshine will always be the same

On a winters day

Sunshine will always be the same

On a summers day

Sunshine will always be the same

On a winters day

Nico Groenendijk Lyrics

Slice of Paradise

You walked up towards me and looked me in the eyes

Your smile did remind me of a slice of paradise

You asked my name I couldn't speak

I only knew the day of the week

So Tuesday was my name and it sounded pretty cool

Untill you asked me more I felt like such a fool

You asked my town I couldn't speak

I only knew that crater on the moon

You asked me if I liked it there I said it wasn't bad

You laughed a bit I sipped my drink and really couldn't think

You asked my age I couldn't speak

I only knew that symbol in Greek

You suddenly just grabbed my hand and said let's run away

I followed you like instinct through the bar into the rain

What happened next I couldn't tell

We are still together on this carousel

What happened next I couldn't tell

We are still together on this carousel

What happened next I couldn't tell

We are still together on this carousel

LYRICS

Hi Louise

Hi Louise you wanna come to the party tonight

Hi Louise the party starts at 9.00

Hi Louise you look so pretty in your scarlet and black dress

Hi Louise you smell a bit of wine

Hi Louise walking into the darkness together

Hi Louise let's go inside who is there

Hi Louise dragging me into the middle of the dancefloor

Hi Louise I can't believe you are mine

Hi Louise it's 12 o'clock and I feel a little dizzy

Hi Louise I think the band stopped playing now

Hi Louise I can not move but you are spinning around me

Hi Louise where are you taking me now

Hi Louise your eyes look white while you move a little closer

Hi Louise I think I lived my life just now

Hi Louise your lips are soft but your teeth a little sharper

Hi Louise what are you doing now

Hi Louise you are so gentle so it takes a little longer

Hi Louise at least I never die again

Hi Louise I feel so light now my soul has left my body

Hi Louise lets haunt this world together now

LYRICS

Thank You For Not Asking

Yes I'm not okay

Thank you for not asking

As this won't make it go away

Thank you for not asking

Another night without you

A thousand Gods will tell you

Thank you for not asking

Escaping from my jail

Just like Jonah and the whale

thank you for not asking

It will be over anytime

As I did throw the haunted dime

It's like a film you need to know

Without the sound of laughter though

This empty talk Hello my friend

Just let me float to make it end

Your legs and arms around me tight

like Kraken holds me through the night

Yes I'm not okay

Thank you for not asking

As this won't make it go away

Thank you for not asking

Another night without you

A thousand Gods will tell you

Thank you for not asking

Escaping from my jail

Just like Jonah and the whale

thank you for not asking

It will be over anytime

As I did throw the haunted dime

It's like a film you need to know

Without the sound of laughter though

This empty talk Hello my friend

Just let me float to make it end

Your legs and arms around me tight

like Kraken holds me through the night

LYRICS

Peppermint Lunch

Waiting at the door

Running towards me

Quick hello no more

No more

Table in the corner

Laid it out for you

Are they staring now

Staring now

Painting is your art

Something non-judgemental

My life is a song

It's a song

Would you write me

Could you write me

A song please

A happy song

Just a happy song

Chasing all these moments

Writing down some thoughts

You said will finish later

Maybe later

Close but still so distant

Yeah that's what we do

This song nothing

Nothing now

Because our timeglass running out

Left your breath behind

I pay you go now

You go now

Would you write me

Could you write me

A song please

A happy song

Just a happy song

Would you write me

Could you write me

A song please

A happy song

Just a happy song

LYRICS

Runes Of Sorrow

Silence

Not a sound

I rise above my throne never to be found

Silence

Not a sound

I rise above my throne never to be found

Come with me you ghostly gleam

Meet me in your darkest place

Drinking from the mountain stream

Breath your soul deep into me

Silence

Not a sound

I rise above my throne never to be found

No escape from fables wrote

Swords are screaming at my throat

Standing up straight facing them

Never feel your skin again

Silence

Not a sound

I rise above my throne never to be found

Runes of Sorrow only left

Pushing through the past few steps

Thousand lifetimes I became

Was my honour just in vain

Silence

Silence

Silence

Silence

Silence

LYRICS

Everything Is Gonna Be Alright

You laid your blanket on the edge of your knee

Sunshine cold breeze you could not foresee

Your heart dancing to your favourite song

Launching spaceships to the stars forever long

And when this road is long and the shops begin to close

And when the streetlights dim you start to feel the rain

So many nights have gone darkness knows your name

Let it be your dawn tonight

You build your castle hide your silent tears

Magic trees fighting your darkest fears

This restless mind racing through the night

Have you lost your key trapped outside

And when this road is long and the shops begin to close

And when the streetlights dim you start to feel the rain

So many nights have gone darkness knows your name

Let it be your dawn tonight

And when this road is long and the shops begin to close

And when the streetlights dim you start to feel the rain

So many nights have gone darkness knows your name

Let it be your dawn tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Be alright

Tonight

LYRICS

Dark Clouds Ahead

Dark Clouds ahead but I can't see it yet

Dirty windows make my vision so impaired

Apples from the trees lying frozen on the ground

Have to get my jacket still cold wrapped around

She said lay next to me and hold my hand

She said lay next to me and hold my hand

Clouds rising from my mouth breathing out

Heart filled with coldness can't speak muffled sound

This wide open web on my path got me down

Lonely I feel in this empty frozen town

She said lay next to me and hold my hand

She said lay next to me and hold my hand

Ice cold wind around the corner straight into my face

Secrets I can't tell you hidden in this maze

Distorted face reflection makes my street puddle sight

Visions from my home where I belong by artificial satellite

She said lay next to me and hold my hand

She said lay next to me and hold my hand

LYRICS

Save My Soul

Running down your street

Silence been unleashed

Save my Soul

Empty blindness from your eyes

Burden of your sin

Breath too shallow for a scream

Howling heartbeat no deceit

Save my Soul

Lies around your cruelest smile

Take my head on moss to rest

To rest

Running fast won't lust for you

Lay within your grounds

Save my Soul

Time enough to hate me now

Ghost of sorrow in my head

Join me in your puppet show

Stripped of all my happiness

Save my Soul

Weeping willows drowning me

Breaking branches over me

Over me

Witches casting spells on me

Take away my life it's been

Save my Soul

Stars are falling down on me

Darkness now surrounds can't see

Embracing this reality

No more traces to be seen

Save my Soul

Silence not much left to say

A thousand miles so far away

So far away

LYRICS

Sparkling when you sing

Sparkling when you sing is it a thing

Denim on your skin the sun is shining in

Leaves on this road waves are rolling in

Colours in the sky playing with my mind

Soon I'll be there found your place on earth

Warm lights the room candles burning slow

Light beams on the floor slowly close my eyes

Dreams like these do happen have I lost my mind

Am I chasing now raindrops falling down

Running for this train it always fades away

Never last forever these tears won't be mine

Chords like these will never sound like these again
