Hope

When all that’s left is hope
And you reach inside your mind
Searching for a way
To leave the past behind
Love sang her song
Before it all went wrong
Wrapped up in your arms
Was where I belonged
Chorus
I’ll never understand
Why we couldn’t talk the whole thing through
I was happy to be loved
I was so in love with you

When all that’s left is hope
And you’re looking for a sign
To turn things around
To get on with your life
To make sense of the past
Why our love didn´t last
It’s time to move on
Before all hope is gone
Chorus
I’ll never understand
Why you couldn’t talk the whole thing through
I was happy to be loved
I was so in love with you

Bridge
Tell me what went wrong
What was it that I did
To make you walk away
Why did it end like this

When all that’s left is hope
I wake one day and find
Although it was’nt easy
You were too cruel to be kind
I know there is someone
Out there just for me
I hope that I can find her
And hope that she finds me
Chorus again

Hope

The saddest smile


The saddest smile I´ve ever seen
Was in the mirror, looking back at me
The truest lie I´ve ever known
Was in the cards I should have shown

Chorus: The saddest smile I´ve ever seen
Was in the mirror, looking back at me
Thinking of what might have been
The saddest smile
I´ve ever seen

I watched you crying
As you walked away
So long ago
I wish I´d made you stay
But I was different then
I was afraid
And in my safety
Thought I had it made

Chorus


You passed me by
The other day
I caught your eye, but you didn´t stay
And in that moment of what could have been
I saw the saddest smile
I´ll ever see

Chorus

Saddest Smile

Music&Lyrics: Dan Karlstrom

My nights are getting longer
can´t get these troubles off my mind
getting weak instead of stronger
Yet I´ve always been the happy kind

Then I hear that long lost whistle
then I see the forest clear
feel the urge to ramble
loose everything that I hold dear

Take this train
take this train
and I´ll go far away
Take this train 
take this train
and I´ll go far away
there´s no shame
I´ll take the blame
I´ll take this train

You ask me what´s the matter
tell me what´s going through your head
I tell you it´s just the weather
weighing down on me like lead

Or maybe it´s this autumn season
watching all the falling leaves
or maybe spring´s the reason
wanting back, that´s how I feel

Take this train…

Search a new sensation
loose all obligations
set another aim
open up my eyes
to the bright blue sky
start again
start again

take this train

Music&Lyrics Elin Karlström&Dan Karlström

we knew when we went into the cardhouse
that we were never gonna get out
before it falls
we knew when we got into the house

we knew when we went into the cardhouse
but we were blinded by the writing
that was on the walls
we knew what was written on the walls

we are never ever ever gonna get away

cause we put ourselves on fire
dont´know if were gonna make it
or if we just gonna brake it
we made ourselves deny it
Now everywhere that were turning
we can see a world that´s burning

we knew when we went into the cardhouse
take we would take whatever we can get
and shut our eyes
we knew and then we shut our eyes

Cardhouse

music&Lyrics Dan Karlström

one night one love
one touch one show
is what I have , 
don´t want 
one night 
need one love 


tripping the same way
we conversate
flowers on the floor
just toss aways

like the 2 of us
the champagne
has gone stale

every night now feels  the same
two  small pawns put in a game
pull each others strings
we let it slide
too numb to cry


one night one love
one touch one show
is what I have , 
don´t want 
one night 
need one love 

it should be no surprise
if you heart pays a price
when you throw away what you got
to be what you´re not
