Poison

Jay Jay Johanson Poison Lyrics
1.Believe In Us

It started out quite badly
It only got worse
She said that it depended on
What's mine but i know
It depended on what's hers
It could have been perfect
I guess you thought it was
You didn't understand what
Was wrong 'til i told you
It wasn't worth the cost
I thought it would be easy
To break up with you
But now when we've reached
This certain point i'm no
Longer sure how to do
Of course you won't be sorry
You've always said you're bored
It's better if it ends right
Here and now or maybe it'll
End up in the morgue
Oh darling please
You believe in me
I believe in you
How come that you don't believe in us


2.Colder(I Want You No More)

She said it's over
She said i want you no more
Over your shoulder
And out through that door
She's turning colder
And i'm growing unsure
Nobody told her
I've been through this before
Ever since the day
She said these words to me
I've had a hard time
Thinking logically
All i asked was
Why can't you please explain
For whatever reason
You left me in this pain
I just can't stand you anymore
She said to me
I really did appreciate
Her honesty
Even though it's not
My habit to intrude
I'm gonna find out
Who's sleeping next to you


3.Keep It A Secret

You know i'm not a single man
But anyway you think you can
Come up to me and make a try
By saying make this a night to remember

What you said to me
What you did to me
What you wanted me to do
What you said last night
When you came up tight
What was i supposed to do

I don't know what made you believe
My simple heart could be so weak
That i could fall for your offence
In saying make this a night to remember

What you said to me
What you did to me
What you wanted me to do
What you said last night
When you came up tight
What was i supposed to do

Don't worry, don't worry
You know my lips are sealed


4.Alone Again

How could a love like ours come to an end
We had it all but lost it 'round the bend
There's something that i'll never understand
Why now it seems like hurting's close at hand

But i'm alone again, alone again
Though the years that pass divide us
I am alone again, alone again
Something'll never keep us apart

There's one love left between us that will stay
When memories can slowly fade away
Though feelings changed ever since we met
Our little daughter won't let us forget

But i'm alone again, alone again
Though the years that pass divide us
I am alone again, alone again
Something'll always keep us close

I see her one weekend now and then
I've realized i'm like a long lost friend
She has your eyes, your funny little smile
Her lovely laugh brings you back for a while

But i'm alone again, alone again
Though the years that pass divide us
I am alone again, alone again
Our little daughter keep us close


5.Escape

On a mountain up north
I will build a small house
Made of wood, stone and straw
I'll let nobody in
Neither family nor friends
Nor the postman can come
This escape can't keep going on
'cause i can't take it no more
I'm not so strong
I will sit there and stare
When the ocean runs wild
Until i'll forget your name
Then i'll burn up the straw
Take it down stone by stone
And make a raft of the wood


6.Anywhere Anytime

Park the car, make it quick
Wonderful, haggard girl
Pale inspite scandinavian sun
Freckled arms, freckled face
Grasstained jeans, bruiced knees
Delicate with sneekers on
Undressed now, hidden in bush
Scotchtight skin round vertebrae
Clinging on to velvet leaves
Finished now, jump back in
Red hot seat burns through skirt
Just a kiss and we're on our way
Anywhere anytime
We'll be there
Long before the others will


7.Time Is Running Out

Instrumental


8.Poison

She's a flower she's a rose
Wonderful when she's close
But you'll see, don't say i didn't warn you
Every rose has its thorn
She poisoned me like a virus
Her love is running through my veins
She is extremely contagious
All boys will get the same
Blood red lips, lovely smile
But behind something hides
You will feel, late at night
Razorteeth take a bite
Memories bother me
She comes back haunting me
If i could meet her once again
I'd do it all 'til the end


9.Humiliation

Underneath this surface exists
A man with no strength to resist
Lips are sealed unable to speak
If you don't take these chains off me
I hesitate too scared to believe
Disregard the way i feel
The time has come for you to decide
Naked respect without denial
How could i forgive and forget
When you ignore and you regret
Silent words, full of despise
There's no return, some things must die
Humiliation
I don't understand myself
Humiliation
I don't recognize myself anymore


10.Suffering

Autumn is here inside my heart
When there's springtime in the air
Loneliness is tearing me apart
Being lost makes me scared
I keep on asking the gods above to send my love back to me
Oh please let these days and weeks
Pass by so quickly
Nobody suffers like i do
Nobody else, oh no
Nobody suffers like i do
Nobody else but you
You had to leave, i know
And we knew it would be tough
You said you would be back soon
Soon is not soon enough
Through this waiting in vain
All this darkness and pain
I've been crying for you, now i'm dying
When this test is at the end
I hope you'll understand
That you're all that i've got
Oh darling


11.Changed

Poetry, painting and puzzles
Occupied all of my life
Until the day when i met you
This changed
Chemistry, cooking and cars
Gave no time over for love
But when i saw you i realized that
Things can change
Now when i'm safe and secure
In peace at a harmless place
Without surprises and action
I'm getting bored
Dramaclass, drinking and drugs
Was close to breaking me down
Now my priority's different
I changed

13.Far Away

Far away, once so close
But now you're far away
You're still here with me
But not like yesterday, so far
Far away, i hear you breathe
But you're so far away
Once so colourful
But now all turns to grey, so far
It's oh so strange
When centimetres feels like miles
Seconds like hours
Now it's true love has died
No more roads left to try, far away
Far away, long ago
When love was here to stay
Now it's gone
It doesn't matter what we say, so far
Every word is like a knife
But the silence cuts you twice


14.Whispering Words

It's saturday evening
I sit by the phone
Planning to call you
'cause i'm all alone
I hesitate even though i can't wait
To hear your whispering words
Is someone there with you
Or are you asleep
Have you gone out dancing
Or nightshift this week
I still hesitate even though i can't wait
To hear your whispering words
If you'd pick up the phone i would tell you
The most beautiful words i know
If you'd answer now i would say it to you
Over and over again
Now i have the courage to give it a try
I dial your number but it's occupied
It's getting late and i still have to wait
To hear your whispering words
