Teitur Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Rough around the Edges

Lyricist:Teitur Lassen, Kenneth Rose

I'm lost in my head, been thinking all around
I gotta find the off-ramp to my heart

Stop-lights in a row when all I want is go
Drop into first and I'll get home

It's okay, I'm alright
I'm just a little rough around the edges of this life
Play it cool, you can always follow
Breadcrumbs in a line when you are lost

Little, little seeds grew into trouble trees
Sorry, sorry sight between my ears

I need to settle down and eat my troubled fruit
The sweetness of the taste will do me good

It's okay, I'm alright
I'm just a little rough around the edges of this life
Play it cool, you can always follow
Breadcrumbs in a line when you are lost

Well the corners of my frown have slowly turned around
No more upside down, no more upside sown
They've slowly, turned around
They've slowly, slowly turned around

It's okay, I'm alright
I'm just a little rough around the edges of this life
Play it cool, you can always follow
Breadcrumbs in a line when you are lost

It's okay, I'm alright
I'm just a little rough around the edges of this life
Play it cool, you can always follow
Breadcrumbs in a line when you are lost


2.Let's Go Dancing

Lyricist:Jeff Cohen, Teitur Lassen

Our minds run in circles
Racing around the restaurant
We're searching for what more to say
To say what we really want

Let's leave it like it is
And stop staring at these walls
Let's not go headlong to that distance
Where you can't come back at all

Let's go dancing
Waltz around the rumor mill
In your faded dress with the daffodils
Let's go dancing, let time stand still

Once your name was but a whisper
A simple wish upon my tongue
And staring at your shadow
Like staring at the sun

And in this dark, dark hour
You still illuminate a room
Oh, God give us the power
We gotta keep ourselves in tune

Let's go dancing
Waltz around the rumor mill
In your faded dress with the daffodils
Let's go dancing, let time stand still
Let's go dancing, let time stand still


3.Shade of a Shadow

Lyricist:Jeff Cohen, Teitur Lassen

Can I call you if I'm back in town
Leave a message when I'm southbound
Could I please, could I please?
Won't be long till I'll be passing through
Maybe three days, maybe two

Could I see you one more time
If it's okay, if you don't mind?
I'm the shade of a shadow, baby
Been thinking about you tonight
How sweetly you bring light
You're the ray of the sun
And I'm the shade of a shadow

For all the letters I never sent
And all the time we haven't spent
Could I please, could I please?
You've always said I play games I know I'd lose
You've always said that's the life I choose

Could I see you one more time
If it's okay, if you don't mind?
I'm the shade of a shadow, baby
Been thinking about you tonight
How sweetly you bring light
You're the ray of the sun
And I'm the shade of a shadow

Could I see you one more time
If it's okay, if you don't mind?
I'm the shade of a shadow, baby
Been thinking about you tonight
How sweetly you bring light
You're the ray of the sun
And I'm the shade of a shadow

Can I call you if I'm back in town
Leave a message when I'm southbound
Could I please, could I please?
Could I please you?


4.Poetry & Aeroplanes

Lyricist:Jeff Cohen, Teitur Lassen

There was a party last night, last night
Cigarettes and empty bottles, empty bottles
Better open up this window, this window
Need some air to clear my head, clear my head

Alone in these strange beds
I think that I've traveled enough
Poetry and aeroplanes
I am tired of waiting for love

Tend to fall asleep in the fast lane, in the fast lane
Sometimes sinking low in the high life, in the high life
No more happy songs of heartbreak, oh heartbreak
Or playing white knight misunderstood, misunderstood

Alone in these strange streets
I think that I've walked them enough
Poetry and aeroplanes
I am tired of waiting for love

Another night I lie awake
In woken dreams of faith and fate
Hope my love don't come too late
Hope my love don't come too late

Alone in these strange beds
I think that I've traveled enough
Poetry and aeroplanes
I am tired of waiting for love


5.Dreaming in Two Hour Drives

Lyricist:Teitur Lassen, Nicholas John Woodbridge

Look out my favorite window
Eyes on the beautiful rainbow
Almost painted on the glass
All the colors of the past

Every day on the 1455
Dreaming in two hour drives

Sitting on the ferry
Myself is all I carry
Familiar announcements
People waiting on the pavement

Every day on the 1455
Dreaming in two hour drives

Now where's your love?
Where's your heart?
And where's your destination?

Dreaming in two hour drives

I cruise into my scene
This roundabout routine
Like a thousand times before
I've been wanting nothing more

Now where's your smile?
And where's your love?
And where's your destination?

Dreaming in two hour drives

Got my perfect view
And papers to run through
Just the daily do and such
I'm not asking all that much

Every day on the 1455
Dreaming in two hour drives


6.Don't Want You To Wake Up.

Dont want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars,
Where noone can make us,
Change what we are.

Dreamers in the dark,
following our hearts.

Try to be silent.
My eyes are too loud.
I sit back in my hiding,
While you're in the clouds.
One kiss away from what I have to say.

Don't want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars,
Where no one can make us,
Change what we are.
Don't want you to wake up.

Its almost the morning,
one foot out the door.
As I let the light in,
To love you even more,
May our minds lose the battle.
And may our hearts win the war.

Don't want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars.
Where noone can make us,
Change what we are.(2x)

Dont want you to Wake up


7.Waiting For Mars

I'm in a state of mind
I'm in my private desert
I'm in a passionate study
Waiting for mars to come out

All the lights in Paris
All the songs of Belfast
Every detail in my head is
Waiting for mars to come out

My skin shrinks against my body bones
I'm lost into the weight of gravity
I'm at my best with my astronomy

Pyramids and starlight
Orchestrated midnight
The math of infinity and reason
Waiting for mars to come out


8.Thief About To Break In

Feel like a thief about to break in
Standing outside a broken window
My breath is warm, the air is cold
Hear noises of insects in the green, wet grass

I'm not gonna sell what I have stolen
It's something that belongs to me

The floor simmers, I am nervous
Place my hand on the entrance wall
There are shrieking whispers in the closets
Layers of dust on every surface

Please wash my head in a bucket of water
Rinse every corner of my body

Feel like a thief about to break in
Watching people pass on the street
I wish to own the glow in their eye
Because they are so beautiful
