I see the face of misery
I can't believe we can't agree

There is a place for you and me
Stop shooting at each other if you please

Oooh
Is this what we're fighting for?
Just a little peace of mind

Is this what we're fighting for?
Just a little peace of mind

All that I'm asking for
Is just a little peace of mind

It feels we've tried a millions things
We can't give up so easily

The world is full of bravery
We should keep trying until we succeed

[Chorus]

The water is still now 
But a storm is coming
There's too many people on this boat 

These people are like you and I

[Chorus]

Peace Of Mind

We're standing on an empty beach
I'm reaching for you hand
This is where we had a kiss that night
And we wrote our names in the sand

Now look into my eyes and tell me
That you feel the same
I know we've had our ups and downs
But there's no one here to blame

I see it now
It's clear somehow

Let's say goodbye to all the things that used to hold us back
Cause we are stronger
Than before

Let's say goodbye to all the things that cannot break us down
Any longer
Any more

Just the other night 
When I was walking on my own
I was thinking of the time with you 
How it felt when I was alone

To me it's an easy choice
I believe in you and me
And I cannot think of any better place 
Where I would rather be 

Than here with you
Yeah that’s the truth

Let's say goodbye...

I've got all of these emotions
It's not easy
I wanna do the right thing
Do the right thing

Let's say goodbye...

Say Goodbye

I was inspired by the show Stranger Things to write a song about my childhood friends. 

I also made this video:

We rode on our bikes to the beach
It was the summer break in '83
We were young and free
A day was like an eternity

We played with the ball everywhere
We were dreaming that one day we would be professionals
And play on TV

Hey Oh Hey Oh Hey Oh
You were my brothers
We stood up for each other
Always
Always
It was us against the world

I wish I could be there again
Maybe just for one more day
Too see the gang
The people that grew up with me

Hey Oh Hey Oh Hey Oh...

Where are you now my friends
Will I ever see you again

I owe it to you
I owe it to you
I owe it to you

Hey Oh Hey Oh Hey Oh...

I guess it's the way of life
You're losing touch with people that once meant so much 
But you will always have a place in my heart

Brothers

Maybe it wasn't meant to be
The stars were not aligned for you and me

Maybe it wasn't meant to last
And our time was running out so fast

I wanted us to try
I wasn't ready for goodbye

You could've been my love
You could've been the only one 
Not sure I understand
What happened to our plan
I could've been your man

Maybe it wasn't meant to be
Things doesn't always end like on TV
 
Maybe we were too blind to see
The times were changing and so did we
 
I wanted to have more
But then you closed the door

You could've been my love...

I know we were young but we had something going on
From hello to goodbye we were perfect 
But now it's gone

You could've been my love...

You Could Have Been My Love

Why is it so easy to forgive you
Why can't I get away
Every time that I try to escape you
I am back at the end of the day

Why do I always defend you
Every time you disagree  
Oh I wish I could be like the bad boys 
As strong as I know I can be

But we keep on sailing on the stormy sea
As long as the ship don't break
As long as we keep from drowning in the lake

I don't know why I fight for you
I don't know the reason
There is nothing that I can say or do
There is no way to please you

I don't know why I lie to you
I don't know the reason
I don't know why I say the things I do
When I'm down on my knees for you

How do the wheels keep on turning
I wonder to myself sometimes
Are we heading for a crash
Are we blind as a bat
I'm afraid this affair will not last

But we keep on sailing on the stormy sea...

I don't know why I fight for you...

I still remember the first time I was was asking for your name
Some things you cannot explain
I'm still standing where you left me in the rain

I don't know why I fight for you...

I Don't Know Why I Fight For You

Each time I see you
It's always the same for me
I try to escape
But the feeling won't go away

Oh I never should have stayed, but it was the only way to know
Now I'm always in the storm

I call your name
I call it once again
Have you ever seen the odd side of me

I remember the time
All the fun we had
And you're still on my mind
All the things I left behind...

You and I we stood by the ocean blue
It was the summer with you
The summer with you

I call your name...

I fear that it never will be over
That I will never see your face again

I call your name...

I Call Your Name

You take me higher than the sun
I feel like I'm not coming down

I've been waiting for this moment to arrive
I've been waiting for this time to have you by my side

I wanna stay here now
Nothing can come in the way
I wanna stay here beside you now

You take me higher than the sun
I feel like I'm not coming down
Higher than the sun
And all of my worries are gone
You're the only one that could lift me so high, so high
You're the only one that could lift me so high

I've been searching for a place where I belong
I've been looking for a partnership that could make me strong

I wanna be here now
Nothing can keep me away
I wanna be here where you are

You take me higher than the sun...

I used to be different
I met you 
You changed me
I used to be wandering around

I don't know where I would be now
If I had never met you
I guess I would be stuck on the ground

You take me higher than the sun...

You Take Me Higher Than The Sun

We're standing here in the dark night
I see the tears on your face
You tell me you need some time to think
You tell me you need some space

To be with you is everything I ever wanted to
Now it could be fading away

Here we go again
I have to show again
That I'm not like your other boyfriends
Let me show you then
No matter where or when
That I'm not like your other boyfriends

I'm reaching out my hand to you
Hear what I have to say
I want us to be together
I hope we can find a way

...

Give us a chance
I know you've been hurt before
But this is something else

I'm Not Like Your Other Boyfriends

Unfinished work.

Loads of fine people, dear friends of mine, has died over the years.
I stumbled over this old forgotten song of mine today.

The good ones go and the creeps remain.

Why do all the creeps remain

You used to take care of me
If I had fallen, if I was down
I could always count on you
When I was in need you were around

I could always come to you
If I had made a mistake
You were there to help me up
Whatever fail I would make

And ever since you went away
The days have been cold and gray

And now
I see your face before me
Everywhere I turn to
Everything reminds me of you

And now
Everywhere I turn to
I see your face and I don't know what to do
Everything reminds me of you

I remember when I was in pain
I had let myself drift away
You offered a helping hand
If I had a bad day

If only I could talk to you
And tell you what you have meant to me
I know that you would listen
Like you always did

[Chorus]

I know the memories will last forever
And now and then you will be on my mind

Even though you are not there
I can feel your presence everywhere

[Chorus]

Everything Reminds Me Of You

I am a songwriter, located in the south of Sweden. Hope you like my songs :)

Peace Of Mind
