Songs I Wish I Had Written

But if the world was ending, you'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?

Μα ένα βράδυ ο κυρ Αντώνης
πάει να κοιμηθεί
κι όταν ξυπνάμε τον καρτεράμε
στην πόρτα να βρεθεί
μα ο κυρ Αντώνης δεν θα βγεί
ποτέ του στην αυλή
αφού για πάντα μες στ' όνειρο του
θέλησε πια να ζεί

Translation:
But one night, Mr. Antonis goes to sleep
And when we wake up, we wait for him
To come to the door
But Mr. Antonis will never
Come out in the garden
Since he wanted to forever
Live inside his dream

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Don’t wait for me
I’m not going ’cause I can’t leave
I watched for years, your strength your pride
You held the doors, as life passed you by
Life just passed you by

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy

All alone, rest your head on my lap when you're down
All alone, rest your head on my lap, on my lap
Ruby don't cry

I don't like the way that you say you feel fine
when you look so down
And I don't like the way that the pills you take
they just keep you down

Into the darkness, or is it the light?
Should I be waking up
Or finding a place to sleep tonight?
Who will I be
Now that you're no longer next to me?

Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well

I look at your picture and I smile
How awful is that?
I’m like a teenage girl
I might as well write it over my notebook
That you “rock my world”
You do, you really do!
You’ve turned me upside down
And that’s okay
I let it happen
I like having you around

So dear, no matter how we part
I hold you sweetly in my head
And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead
If I can't love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend

I want to live life,
And never be cruel
And I want to live life,
And be good to you
And I want to fly,
And never come down

If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you'll always be
More than just a memory

I just want to be there
When we're caught in the rain
I just want to see you laugh not cry
I just wanna feel you
When the night puts on its cloak
I'm lost for words don’t tell me
Cause all I can say
I love you till the end

I dreamed of you in my arms
But dreams are always wrong
I never dreamed I'd hurt you
I never dreamed I'd lose you

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness;
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.

Tον άφησε την ψάχνει η αστυνομία
πώς πέρασε τα σύνορα αυτό είναι μια άλλη ιστορία
Της έσπασε τα δόντια με μανία, εδώ μωρή θα λέγεσαι Μαρία

Translation:
She left him, the police is looking for her
How she crossed the borders is a different story
He broke her teeth in a frenzy, here bitch you'll be called Maria

Η νύχτα παίζει τα παιχνίδια τα δικά της.
Είσαι αλληνής και φεύγεις, ούτε ξέρω που θα πάς.
Καλή σου νύχτα, φίλε, μες στην αγκαλιά της.

Translation:
You suddenly stop at the supermarket.
The night is playing games of its own.
You're somebody else's and you're leaving,
I don't even know where you're going.
(Have a) good night, my friend, in her arms.

Απ’ τους φίλους που παίζαμε πότε πότε χαρτιά,
θα ρωτήσει κανένας τους έτσι απλά: «Τον Ουράνη
μην τον είδε κανείς; Έχει μέρες που χάθηκε...».
Θ’ απαντήσει άλλος παίζοντας: «Μ’ αυτός έχει πεθάνει!».

Μια στιγμή θ’ απομείνουνε τα χαρτιά τους κρατώντας,
θα κουνήσουν περίλυπα και σιγά το κεφάλι.
Θε να πουν: «Τι `ναι ο άνθρωπος! Χθες ακόμα εζούσε...»
και βουβοί στο παιχνίδι τους θα βαλθούνε και πάλι.

Translation:
Of the friends who occasionally played cards with me,
One of them will ask simply "Has anyone seen
Ouranis? It's been days since he disappeared.."
Another one will reply while playing “But he has died!”

For a moment they will look at each other,
They will shake sorrowfully and slowly their head,
Perhaps they will say ''So sad! Yesterday he was still alive..''
And without talking, they'll continue their game once more

You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

I don't think you have to leave
If to change is what you need
You can change right next to me

But I believe that when it's done
We're gonna see that it was better
That we grew up together

I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back,
tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me

And you said
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak, you know
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
How could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
she won't let you fly but she might let you sing

Mother did it need to be so high?

They only hit until you cry,
And after that you don't ask why,
You just don't argue anymore.

Yes, I think I'm okay,
I walked into the door again,
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me because you don't know
What it means to me.

Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright

Pour ne pas vivre seule
je t'aime et je t'attends
pour avoir l'illusion
de ne pas vivre seule.
De ne pas vivre seule.

Pour ne pas vivre seuls
D'autres font des enfants
des enfants qui sont seuls
comme tous les enfants

A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff, that mighty dragon
He ceased his fearless roar

'Cause I have no right to love you
When I chose to walk away
I have no right to miss you
When I didn't wanna stay
And I have no right to need you
When I knew what my heart was gonna lose
To ask if you're okay
When I left you so confused
I have no right to love you
But I still do

So I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in
I'm just craving for a love I never knew
Please don't go mistreating me
I'm not saying you've been misleading me
Just not needing me the way that I need you
