Cardigans lyrics

LOVEFOOL

 Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought to stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!

So I cry, I pray and I beg

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...

Lately I have desperately pondered,
spent my nights awake and I wonder
what I could do have done in another way
to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
as long as you don't go

PARALYSED

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all
The sweetest way to die
It lies inside
You can not hide
It's the meanest fire
Oh, it's a strange desire
You can not lie
That's a needless fight

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all
The sweetest way to die

When your blood runs dry
You're paralyzed
It will eat your mind
Did you hold it back
It comes to you in slow attacks
It's the meanest fire

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all

The sweetest way to die

ERASE / REWIND

Hey,
What did you hear me say?
You know the difference it makes
What did you hear me say?

Yes,
I said it's fine before
But I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before

Chorus:
I've changed my mind
I take it back
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind

I've changed my mind

So,
Where did you see me go?
It's not the right way, you know
Where did you see me go?

No,
It's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not the light, oh no

(Repeat Chorus)

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
I've changed my mind.

EXPLODE

 Ease your trouble
We'll pay them double
Not to look at you for a while
And you rely on
What you get high on
And you last just as long as it serves you

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you

'Cause you're deserted
What's good, you hurt it
And it kills you it keeps you alive
So give it up
In a world of puppets
It's a shame what they do to us all

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you

Can we do anything for you know?

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you

STARTER

This is a start
That I know I'll believe in
So I'm leavin' everything behind

Keeping the parts
That I know I'll be needing
And I breed to be a better kind
And I'm leavin' everyone behind
This is the age
When my past should be gone
But it's just stronger than the aims I have

Turning the pages
I used to hang on to
I was young and I have changed my mind

And I'm leaving everything behind

New beginning again
A bit closer
New beginning again
A little bit closer
New beginning again
A bit closer to the end

New beginning again
A litle bit closer to the end

This is the time
It's a delicate line
To the beginning of what's yet to come
Lifetimes of changes
A strange generation
Explanations never come in time

So I'm leavin' everything behind

New beginning again
A bit closer
New beginning again
A little bit closer
New beginning again
A bit closer to the end

New beginning again
A litle bit closer to the end
New beginning again
A litle bit closer to the end

HANGING AROUND

I wonder what it's like
Seeing through your eyes
You've offered me to have a try
But I was always late
The filters that I use
Give me an an excuse
I take away what's real
I feel it and it blows my fuse

I hang around
For another round
I'm hanging around
For another round
I'm hanging on
To the same old song
I hang around
For another round
Until something stops me

I wonder what it's like
Walking by your side
To think before I talk
And to move at the same speed as you walk
I want to have a weight
To keep me in your state
I'm watching from above
I love but it's not for me

I hang around
For another round
I'm hanging around
For another round
I'm hanging on
To the same old song
I hang around
For another round
Until something stops me

HIGHER

I'm glad you came around today
I sure need a good companion
I'm losing it but you're the same
Without you I move at random
Abusing you 'cause you're a friend
And there's no Jesus here to explain

And take me higher
Come take me higher
Come take me high above our time
Take me higher
Oh take me higher
Come take me high above our time
We'll make it out of here...
Oh yeah

You justify, you're not afraid
And I won't feel like this forever
You wait with me, because you know
There's so much more than this before we go

To take us higher
Come take us higher
Come take us high above our time
Take us higher
Oh take us higher
Come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
Come take us out of here
Take us anywhere...
Oh yeah

Take us higher
Come take us higher
Come take us high above our time
Take us higher
Oh take us higher
Come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
Oh yeah

MARVEL HILL

Strange to be on Marvel Hill
I've walked some years to find
I know there is a piece to fill
The gap I have in mind
No, nothing's here, I close my eyes
It's on the other side
And what I've worked so hard to gain
I'd gladly give away

'Cause I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more

A postcard from where life's a thrill
On top of Marvel Hill

But I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more
No, I don't need this
To good to be true
To good to ignore
I don't need this
I need so much more
It's too much to ask for

MY FAVOURITE GAME

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game
I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

DO YOU BELIEVE

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world
Well, I don't think so
I just don't think so
Do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul
Well I sure hope so
Oh, I really really hope so
But I don't think so

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world
Well, I don't think so
I just don't think so
Do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul
Well I sure hope so
Oh, yes I really really hope so

But I don't think so

JUNK OF THE HEARTS

We never chose to part
In this stupid play
I never felt by heart
That I could behave
The way the roles were made

I know that I've done you wrong
But you're hard to please
When your faith is gone
And when you can't believe
I'm on my hands and knees

The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts

I've given all of me
And you crave for more
Weird how this makes us feel
Insecure
That's what friends are for

The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts
