Northern Lights like you / the city falling behind you amazing light befriend me / center of the järvi an icy road will take me / to Kaartusen Mökki you were feeling famous / with no on else around us Imagine ourselves floating / and hemispheres dividing you were undecided / on the right way to keep on living forget your timetable / and come to me when you're able the ocean's only as big as you make it I was a one way road / going where no one goes and ice melts again / I'll show you the way too we'll face a hungry pack of wolves deeper still into the woods the end of what we know burying our hearts in snow

Anchor 03:48
Another world of light division wear a dress to swimming parties clouds have covered all the flowers floodgate to the rooftop shoulders Our love is tied to an anchor going nowhere, going nowhere You were one to grow up with it all the thoughtful antique bodies eardrums shake the house and towers lift our feet and turn us over
3.
Finland 04:22
Come on dear tell me where the wind is you might be the power of Finland you can see the end of a short list make the nighttime strong like a fortress Take is back shadow sun and moon battle celebrate the forest and flatland gravel road gonna take us at the speed we always should go If you never see me again I'll tell you where I'm living now The ancient earth under our feet it's always freezing in the Baltic Sea pulling from the easterly the battles fought and died in peace We have made such a fuss future feels industrious quiet earth return to us quiet lakes with pinewood dust We've got machines to clear the snow and boots and skis and antler rings the frozen air you breathe to me is something like a remedy your imagination in overdrive firewood burning hot and bright you never knew a time in your life when everything was so right

Bonfire (free) 05:40
Where you gonna find it better than this all made up and so far from the rest cold city glow gonna leave you in the snow round the pine trees let your wildness grow Fall Winter breeze has whispered things and carved out words on evergreens and the morning sun wakes us but they'll never take us build a bonfire and stack a woodpile You're the natural born flame thrower turn the heat up and get our spirits up she was gone before you could tell her she was gone before you could save her If all you feel is the Winter and all you feel is the Fall build yourself a bonfire stack a woodpile and burn it all
6.
Discotek 02:56
It was an all night showing and all the wine tasting your lips are moving and I don't know the first thing Call it what you will / I will believe you how could I forget your / eyes like that careful what you wish for / take me to the Discotek it's quite a long way / from the war and the fighting we expected Now we've had enough to keep us floating for the moment and barring a disappointment sure thought we were going take me, take me, take me to the Discotek

Gillian to the floor Shot down like an old hunter hunting shirtsleeves didn't stop you from flexing if it weren't for me there'd be no one clear cut the crosswind finish it with frosting Automatic teller go easy this could go a lot smoother without me you were like a barrel I climbed into sealed off the top and thrown out the window You could have stopped me every time I'm gonna knock you down the line Everyone in single file making money Feeling like your time is done cut your losses have some fun wait til you see me over under the table I suppose you're going to the floor, Gillian Gillian this is your first introduction I remember when we were both nothing fast times are a feeling and a weapon double jump rooftop light up if you got one There is no sound there is no motion a stone's throw from sinking in the ocean take a step back take a look around you everyone here is going to surround you I'd say you should go away starting now I'd say you should fall away starting now

Kiitos 02:00
Kiitos Thank you for all of the words that you gave me I'll remember the way that you say them to me
