This is a song about the phenomenon of poeple want to get influenced.

Lyrics:
You wanna be influenced
By influencers
You want to be entertained
By entertainers

You follow foreign people
To make them influence you

What is going on 4 x

What a strange disease
You become a voyeur at least
Make foreign people wash your brain
You´re far away from thinking free

What is going on 4 x 

You´ve got the fear of missing out
FOMO
Fear

I used an early demo of Naicke https://soundcloud.com/user-746049418 on this song containing all of her vocals, verse and drums / synths. I added the chorus, changed the structure and produced it a bit. 
So, here you have it, a relaxing synthi pop song with a quite nice synth hook underneath ...

Kann Ich Dich ... - Naicke and rock_flexible

The post office empty
the letterbox jammed
words for the lonely 
with time on their hands
the paperback plots
so easy to read
all of these are happening to me

Birds on their fences
singing out ryhmes
Cling to the edges
peering inside
the fool in the frame
away in a dream
Meet me in places
I'll never be

Don't go

The train door don't slam
no leaves on the line
no awkward glances catching your eye
no places to go
no people to see
in wide empty spaces
just you and me
Don't know if anyone hears me now
Don't go

The post office empties
the letterbox slams
Words for the lonely
no time on their hands
the paperback plots
not easy to read
Meet me in spaces I'll never leave
Meet me in spaces I'll never leave
Meet me in spaces I'll never leave

Wide Empty Spaces

A Long Ride

How's your halo
when you've nothing to wear?
Hold you head up
on a wing and a prayer

Float like feathers
Float like feathers
Just open wide
wide

Elevate
the 
stars
pull
parachutes

Hold your head up
for there's nothing down there
With the open eyes
eyes

Elevate
the
stars
pull
parachutes

(we connect the stars)

How's your heavens
when you're stopping for air?

parachutes

Drink until we sink
like the bottles
we live on

Singing to the moon 
we are half lights
waiting to form

And we rise to the world
headstrong

Calling out the clouds
spill the oceans
we adorn

Sunken ships adrift
on the water
we sail on

And we rise to the world
Head on
And we rise to the world

Feathers in the storm
Feathers in the storm
like feathers in the storm
(People hold on)

Sunken ships adrift on the water
we
will
come
home

sunken ships

From the top of the town
I'll be let down
All your June's in January
I'll be let down

Did you courage capsize
from holding too tight?
Gone from great 
to your gooseberry
I'll be just fine

Be my great mistake
Washed out with the waves
Nothing here to find
I'll be doing alright

Oh
nothing's gonna hold
Worn on the insides
Everything is alright

Don't give up on me yet
Don't do ordinary
Don't give up on me yet
I'll be unwise

Be my great escape
running down the rain
holding the sunshine
Maybe we are alright

Oh 
something in a soul
worn on the outside
Everything is alright

Rain
Wash me to the waves
nothing here to find
everything is alright

Oh
Nothing's gonna hold
Torn on the insides
Everything is alright 
now..

From the top of the town
I'll be let down
Gone from great 
to your gooseberry
hanging around...

Gooseberry Season

Run away from me
Summer days have turned to night
Run away from me sunshine

And if the spring will bring
Tended wings that will take flight
Well we all come back in time

For we're a long time gone

Fall's forsaken me
Rusted reds have been let down
Fall's forsaken me somehow

If the winds would change
I'd walk in winter with your clouds
With my feet upon the ground

For it's a long way home

Hey good hearted (x many)
 It's a long way home

And if the winds would change
I'd walk in winter with you now.

Walk in Winter

Holy Father
how you been?
I'v been lost for so long
Do you dream of the old?
Holy Father
let go

Oh daughter
all at sea
searching for another world
Are you drifting alone
with the breeze?
Oh daughter
come to me

Unwind
all my life
Unwind

Burn beautiful 
We sail for a better land
(heavenly father
bring out your stars)
