Wang Wei

For P'ei Ti

We’ve not seen each other
for a long time now.
Each day above the stream
I see us arm in arm.
Memory. Painful goodbyes.
If it feels like this now,
What did it feel like then?

Feels Like The First Time

I would climb any mountain
Sail across a stormy sea
If thats what it takes me baby
To show you how much you mean to me
And I guess its just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I cant help myself
Youre all in the world to me
It feels like the first time
Feels like the very first time
It feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
I have waited a lifetime
Spent my time so foolishly
But now that Ive found you
Together well make history
And I know that it must be the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I cant help myself
Youre all that my eyes can see
And it feels like the first time
Like it never did before
Feels like the first time
Like weve opened up the door
Feels like the first time
Like it never will again, never again
Feels like the first time, it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time, very, very, it feels
It feels like the first time, oh it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
Open up the door, wont you open up the door? yeah
Feels like the first time
And it feels like the very first time
And it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
And it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
Oh it feels, it feels like the first time
Yeah it feels like the first time

A Long Time Gone

Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still youre not there
Youre a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away til its all obsolete
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will
Youre a long time gone
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Youre a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
Youre a long time gone

Honest Goodbyes

Sink with the tide
Rescue me if you like
I'll be leaving it all up to you
Think how we tried
It's o.k. to be lied to
As long as it's only by you

People say to me it's best that we've parted
'Cause you know I'm better alone
Don't explain to me how you're so broken hearted
I'm too busy mending my own

Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
Such honest goodbyes for the last time
Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
They work once or twice
Then the rest must be lies

Late ever night the colours fade from the sky
And the music is gone from the moon
Standing in line for what used to be mine
What use is the rhyme with no tune

People say to me it's best that we've parted
And nothing is carved out in stone
It's such a shame how we're back where we started
It's late now and time that we go

Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
Such honest goodbyes for the last time
Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
They work once or twice
Then the rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies
The rest must be lies

Starting All Over Again

I've been waiting, standing in the dark for hours
Tryin a find the faith and the power to get back home to you
It's been a long time, long time since Ive seen your face
But on and on I could not replace
The fire that burns for you
So heres to the good times, here to the bad
Here's to the memories that we all had
Here's to tomorrow, let yesterday pass us by
Tonight, we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time I
No I'll never feel this way again
Starting all over again
Do you remember, remember the odds we were given
We had nothing and we thought that was living
Lord and it's been such a long, long road
Long, long road
Heres to our old friends who helped us get by
Heres to the dreamers, may their dreams never die
If we beleive we can keep all the good times alive
Tonight, we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time I
No I'll never feel this way again
Tonight, we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time I
Know whenever were together my friends its like starting all over again
Tonight, we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time I
No Ill never feel this way again
Whoa oh, tonight, well be starting all over again
And it feel like the first time I
Know whenever were together my friends its like starting all over again
I've been waiting, standing in the dark for hours
Trying to find the faith and the power to start it all over again

Forever

Bess:
Baby Im sad
I feel you inside every time
I breathe
When I kissed your mouth
You made me feel strong.
You were my life from that first kiss
I knew you better than I knew myself
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Houdini:
Baby I miss you too
I spent my life trying
To capture a dream
When I touched your face
I burned with desire
Though our souls are worlds apart
Youre living in my heart
Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Interlude - scene: the escapes
Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Bess:
My heart beats to the memory of you
Both:
Love is the only thing thats true
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Together we will make it last forever
Together we will make it last forever

Doubt Full

This letter explains everything
The content it is the truth
Each word could cut like daggers if I
Decide to finally give it to you
I've rewrote and rechecked a thousand times
Licked it shut and said my goodbyes
The lines are perfectly written
To break wide open this conclusion
And it feels like
I've already been there
Sounds like Im preaching the choir
If it feels like it wont work out
Im the one full of doubt
I know that time
Wont change a thing
If were all moving in slow motion
Its hard to catch up
When the world is weighing you down
And it feels like
I've already been here
Sounds like im preaching the choir
If it feels like it wont work out
Im the one full of doubt
Im confused
Dont know what I should do now
You could lose everything close to you
Tell me how does this feel
And it feels like
I've already been here
Sounds like im preaching the choir
If it looks like it wont work out
Im the one full of doubt x 3

Time To Kill

Well, I was born on a dead end street
I'm cold blooded but I always felt the heat.
All my friend are dead and gone
If there's a hell, I'm one step closer to it
Somewhere I crossed the line
Somewhere I'm lost in time
I lost my soul and now I'm losing my mind
Time to kill I've had enough of all your lies
I've only got time to kill
I've seen the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill
I spend my days counting bricks on the wall
And every night I hear those sirens call
I sink deeper into a convict's sleep
And dream about the day I'm gonna hit the streets
One time I cursed the man
He laughed and broke my hand
I'm gonna take that fist and make him understand
I'll make him understand
I've had enough of long goodbyes
I've only got time to kill
I feel the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill
Y'know I always thought there was time enough
To win the game
But now I know times are rough
The seasons changed, times are strange
Somewhere I crossed the line
Somewhere I'm lost in time
I lost my soul and now I'm losing my mind
Time to kill I've had enough of all your lies
I've only got time to kill
I've seen the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill
I've had enough of long goodbyes
I've only got time to kill
I feel the fire in my eyes
I've only got time to kill

Has There Ever Been A Good Goodbye

I used to love to say your name,
It'll never sound the same.
Foolish pride got in my way.
Now you'll never feel what I meant to say,
I wasted every chance you gave.
Why do I feel, I'm goin' in circles.
All I can do, is wonder why.
I should have known, I'd be the hurt one,
I've always been bad at goodbyes.
Has there ever been a good goodbye?
Foolish lovers just like me,
Even lose their memory.
For they learn to make believe.
Missin' you is pain without a cure.
I'd give my life for a minute in yours.
Why do I feel, I'm goin' in circles.
All I can do, is wonder why.
I should have known, I'd be the hurt one,
I've always been bad at goodbyes.
Has there ever been a good goodbye?
Night after night,
I remember days with you.
Why tell me why,
I still keep cryin' over you.
Oh there ain't no way around it, What we once had is through.
Why do I feel, I'm goin' in circles.
All I can do, is wonder why.
I should have known, I'd be the hurt one,
'Cause there's never been a good goodbye. . .
There's never been a good goodbye. Oh Whoa
Ain't no good goodbye,
Oh Oh, Whoa Whoa.
Has there ever been a good goodbye?

Phainomenon

i like it when it is like it
i see you when i see you
i perceive you and i will not use any word
and reduce you as a poem
or a piece of literature
you appear to me and i look at you
i will say nothing but i will only feel you
when you leave you leave and i will not say goodbye
because it is this philosophy that works for me
that must work for me
i see you when i see you and there will be no goodbyes
there will be no plans for the next tryst
there are no schemes for the next hello
perchance we see each other again in a dream
or in an illusion
then it will be like it as we feel liking it
for i am a bound man and you are a chained woman
and next time when we see each other again
we may always pretend that there was never was

so it is like this, i see you when i see you
there are neither hellos nor goodbyes

and it is this kind of arrangement and understanding
that we shall keep this love burning
till then, somewhere, somehow, when the feelings remain
to be true to their respective callings.

FEEL AGAIN - Song Lyrics

Passing by my eyes
Are people living lives
They flow before my gaze
Just like the memories
In my mind
I watch them from
My hiding place
In shadows so
To hide my face
And as they pass
The memories flash
Of how it felt to feel that way

And home…
I long for home…
Where is my home…
Please take me home…

Home…
Please take me home…
Where is my home…
I long for home…

I watch the people
Not because
I wanna be their friend
I watch them not
Because I hope to know
Them in the end
I simply watch
And ask myself
Why do I feel this way
How did I get here
Can I hope
To feel again someday
To feel the feelings
That they feel…
To hope, to love, to cry
To fall and feel the pain
Or rise in triumph to the sky

And home…
I long for home…
Where is my home…
Please take me home…

Home…
Please take me home…
Where is my home…
I long for home…

All I have are memories
Of the times
When things were good
Memories of the days
Of when I felt
The way I should
Memories now that
Flow before the view
Inside my mind
Just as the passing people
Flow before my open eyes
Oh God! How can I be
Like them
Is there a way to
Start again
I know there is
I know its there
I’ll find it
I don’t ****ing care
What I have to go through
What I lose and what I lack
I know my heart
Can feel again
If I can only
Find my way back

Home…
I’m going home…
This is my home…
It feels like home…

Home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…

Home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…

I’m finally home

Walnut Tree

Once there was a great storm
Pushed my head beneath the waves, I was gone
Underneath the walnut tree
Where you said you'd wait for me
And I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
Why, why do I come here?
Seeking out the memories I handed
Cause you put your spell on me
Made me live a memory
And I'm frozen in just the wrong time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time

To dream of 'Carpe Diem

A corpse condemned to live
I long was lost
somewhere in my painful years
of grief, of doubts, of fears.
Ghost of my own memory
I long was dragged...
trapped inside my overt pain,
isolated, I ever been;
tied by threads unseen
I stay unmoved -
bound by fate unrest
I deem to stoop.

To live a life with life
I long did dream;
to dream to never drown
in woe, in qualms, in tears.
Prisoner of my own history
I long be freed
from ones my soul
played havoc with.
I long to feel my blood to rush
to feel, to touch... be felt, be touched.
Oh how I dream [and wake in it]
to live a life with life.

Another...'Last Goodbye

Nobody knows how it feels to be me
Always alone unwanted and unloved
Feels deserted, unneeded and unhappy
Till you came

But things will never be as I wanted them to
What feels so good is not right to do
So I’ll just say goodbye and let you go
I know I can never have you

But thanks for the memory that linger in my heart
The good things we shared for just a short while
Only these stay in my memory
Nothing to hold….No one to love me…No more you

Frozen Memory

What is this rush
I feel in me
Do I get a blush
there in memory?

Have I been lying to me
or is it just a condemned fling
of a condensed memory
from a long time parting?

And still, you make me
rhyme in my rush
picking up my ink
for the sake of frozen memory.

Second chance

It feels like its the first time..
It feels just like the first time..... I feel like I'm frozen in time
I feel that pure love devine.......

You wrapped your arms around me..
Your telling me this is your second chance..

You picked me up when I was broken.
You touched my heart and made whole again...

This time it feels I have forgotten about all the pain

It feels just like the first time..... I feel like I'm frozen in time. I feel that pure love devine......


You wrapped your arms around me..
Your telling me this is your second chance..

You picked me up when I was broken.
You touched my heart and made whole again...

Thinking of the past that is behind me, it makes me stronger..
Can I destroy those thoughts in my head? Those lies telling me your not whole again...........

It feels like its the first time..
It feels just like the first time..... I feel like I'm frozen in time
I feel that pure love devine.......

You wrapped your arms around me..
Your telling me this is your second chance..

You picked me up when I was broken.
You touched my heart and made whole again...


Starting my life over with you by my side..

Getting used to that fact that I need you. Never needed anyone before..

Out Is Through

Every time you raise your voice
I see the greener grass
Every time you run for cover
I see this pasture
Every time we're in a funk
I picture a different choice
Every time we're in a rut
This distant grandeur
My tendency to want to do away feels natural
My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable and I know
The only way out is through
The faster we're in the better
The only way out is through ultimately
The only way out is through
The only way we'll feel better
The only way out is through ultimately
Every time I'm confused
I think there must be easier ways
Every time our horns are locked on toweling throwing
Every time we're at a loss, we've bolted from difficulty
Anytime we're still made of final bowing
My tendency to want to hide away feels easier and
The tendency is picturing another place comforting to go and I know
The only way out is through
The faster we're in the better
The only way out is through ultimately
The only way out is through
The only way we'll feel better
The only way out is through ultimately
We could just walk away and hide our hands in the sand
We could just call it quits, only to start over again
With somebody else
Every time we're stuck in struggle, I'm down for the count that down
Every time I dream of quick fix I'm assuaged
Now I know it's hard when it's through
And I'm damned if I don't know quick fix way
What formerly was treatment silent's now outdated
My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now
The urgency to want to give to you what I want most feels good and I know
The only way out is through
The faster we're in the better
The only way out is through ultimately
The only way out is through
The only way we'll feel better
The only way out is through ultimately
The only way out is through
The faster we're in the better
The only way out is through ultimately
The only way out is through
The only way we'll feel better
The only way out is through ultimately

Something That You Said

Everything in a moment starting where
Something you said is hanging in the air
Now I know my life is sweetening
Changing everything
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I have dreamed about
And I feel so real
And it feels so right...
Showing you every weakness
And feeling strong for it
I used to run from real love
Now I long for it
Now I know what Ive been missing
Since Ive been listening
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Got through to me tonight
Never so far you cant call me back
Im never more than a single kiss away
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I had dreamed about
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I had dreamed about
And it feels so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said

So Long

So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
Dont know where Im heading for
Turn my back and walk away
Dont think about whats left behind
Otherwise
Think about the good times
Think about the people you love
Think about the sun that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Im better by myself
So long, so long
Dont need nobody else
If I fade from peoples hearts
Im glad I left them far behind
Theres one thing that holds me still
Im thinkin
The memory of your kiss
The memory of your sweet caress
The memory of you love that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Got no time for tears
So long, so long
Got music in my ears
Got no time for muswell town
Gonna look around now
My old town was good to me
But oh...
Guess Ill say so long now
Dont even say a word
Ill turn my back and walk away, but oh...
The day that Ive seen everything I promise to return
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long

Letter From Abélard To Héloïse

The separation were very painful
but still you are part of me
although it feels as if everything is coming to an end

but you remain inoculated into me, while my thoughts run wild,
life wanted to get me down,
but still you are part of me

while your loss and pain exhausts my body,
your voice have faded in my thoughts,
life wanted to get me down,

but vulnerable I dared to write love letters to you,
I wanted to press you against my chest,
your voice have faded in my thoughts,

but I have brought you back sharp from memories,
I could even smell your scent, feel your nearness,
wanted to press you against my chest,

I did mean my love in every letter to you.
The separation were very painful
I could even smell your scent, feel your nearness,
although it feels as if everything is coming to an end.
