Song note : Last night in Tokyo, September 2011.

 

Finally we walked along in the dark

as I watched the light reappear

As she held on my hand I believe it would last

I don’t mind if the world standing still

Further along I could see how I wished

That I knew, how to stop time

As she held on my hand I could see it won’t last

I don’t mind if the world crashes down

Wake up wake up

Isn’t time always been on the run?

We walked to the door and we said our goodbyes

And then Tokyo lights fade away

Funny how all stretches far and it

felt like a dream and I’m wide awake

As the sunlight have fallen I stood by the bed

I don’t mind if world standing still

While moments of you slowly trapped in a jar

When I heard a knock on the door

As my faithful old friend mister time came along

I don’t mind if the world crashes down    

I held on too close the sky’s finally fall over me

I stood all too tall the ground’s finally shake under me

I fell to the light they were more translucent than I knew.

I fell in too deep the truth knocks me flat down on the ground

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : Mothers up in Heaven watching over their children.

Mother have you seen your laughter

Fall into the arms of angels

Mother if you see me I’m all right

Range of clouds on sunny weather

Rise onto the breeze of meadow

Mother did you help God paint the sky?

When time will fade

Your words won’t vaporize

When time will fade

Your smile still hypnotize

Mother when you tell your stories

Children of the world will listen

Mother watch your glory lid the sky

Hear the wind beneath the branches

Just as rain drops touched the river

Mother did you sing on angel’s choir?

When time will fade

Your words won’t vaporize

When time will fade

Your smile still hypnotize

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : Stuck in you-know-where.

Holding on to photograph

Picture painted in my head

It’s you, it always been of you

Winding road goes up ahead

Distant thoughts that lead me back to you

They lead me back to you

I want to run to, that place in your heart where I will never be

Its been a while but I, got nowhere else to be

So I run to the place I’ll never be

Into darker valley of your heart

Haunted places back in time

Bolder lines that hypnotize

It’s you, they’re all the shape of you

I wait a while to realize

Seasons change when days go by

But you, nothing changes you

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : When a possibility of a new relationship is a few steps away.

Against all the odds

I walk you home tonight

And if things go right

I might just hold your hand

I’ve fall into

This sudden wonderland

Where things are calm

And slowly flows

If its written down

Then no one can erase

And if things go right

We might just have a chance

We’ve fall into

This sudden wonderland

Where things are calm

And slowly flows

Against all the odds

I walk you home tonight

And if things go right

I might just hold your heart

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : Silly couple get separated.

I’d take you down for a ride on a time machine

Back to the days when we sat on an empty porch

You were talking ‘bout life, I’d look in your eyes

Now that we part and we live on a different times

Both of us spend our own days on a separate lines

You be closing your eyes, I’d stare at the sky

I’d like to give you a call on a sunny day

When will it be a good time?

I got Monday, you got Tuesday

We will never be

You chase rainbows, I gaze starlight

We will never be the same again

Remember when that one time while you’re back in town

Back where we were once again on that empty porch

You were talking ‘bout life, and I got lost in you

Now that you’re gone and we live on a different times

Both of us spend our own days on a separate lines

You be closing your eyes, I’d stare at the sky

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : When someone that you care is no longer here.

Have you seen a world without a sky?

No one ever thought

It stretches far across the universe

That day you went away

And when I go all the way

I found myself all alone

Walk into a world a sky

No one understands

They took apart the colors in my head

That day you went away

You’ll found yourself all alone

We’ll found our ways once light went down

Be gone every night you lived

In time look on things that we see

For once they’ll gone

Now you’ve seen a world without a sky

No one cares to see

It floats along where time stand to a still

That day you went away

And when we go all the way

We found ourselves all alone

Have you seen a world without a

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : Laying in bed at night and your head gets too complicated.

Haven’t you heard how a star finally died in the end?

They say an explosion of rose splits the sky far beyond our minds

And we’d all fall down, Into question why

But I don’t want to hear about them secrets off the world

Try to sneak into sanity’s stand

All I need to know, will I find my way to you?

Haven’t you heard what the angels have asked there in Heaven?

They said, “Haven’t we been enough that You’ve let mankind rule the world?”

And we’d all fall down, into question why

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : Last 2 days in Tokyo, September 2011.

I met you in the city of the fall

One September night

We sat down on the table near the wall

Where conversation flows

I wonder if I could stay for a while

You see, its been a while since I felt this way

But, we both now time is closing in

Till I’ll be gone, you’ll be too

On the night I saw you walked away

Well I left you in the city of the lights

That breeze September night

We walked down the road to the end

I wish the time stood still

Still I wonder if I could stay for a while

You see, its been a while since I felt this way

But, we both now time is closing in

Till I’ll be gone, and you’ll be too

So, I should stay, for a while

You see, it’s been a while since I felt this way

But, we both now time is closing in

Till I’ll be gone, you’ll be too

On the night I let you walked away

I met you in the city of the fall

One September night

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : When your mind just wanders off.

Let me ride on a silver moon

Try to find my way on an air balloon

I rest my feet on a small lagoon

It will be your smile I would see it soon

I made no promises that I can’t keep

I don’t seek the secrets of the world

But if I made a promise that I, I should keep

It’ll be to find my way to you

I’ll find my way to you

Lay me down on an afternoon

Gonna wait a while ‘till I made a tune

I’ll sing it loud in the month of June

When I’ll see your smile I would see it soon

So let me ride on a silver moon

It’ll be your smile I would see it soon

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : The one that got away is back in town.

I heard the news that you’re in town

Well that explains the big grey sky

Wandering around and going my way

I dig the grave in my backyard

Pull the coffin full of dust

See a glance of just what story remains

So go far take what you need

I’ll be around when everything falls

And then I’ll go run it again

To see if it crashes down the same

But then, I don’t feel like losing anymore

The city weeps while you’re in town

The lights went on a little dimmer

As if they knew the way its going to end

                                                                                    

I see we’ve hit the tall brick wall           

Where conversation has run dry

This would be the part you say your goodbye

Your beautiful disguise stays in my head

Leaving empty traces lost in time

Until all burned down to live again

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

Song note : The art of following the flow.

   

Most of the time I believe things will fall into right hands of time

In the mean time I’ll wait for the pages to turn my way

Hop on above words and stories along for the ride of your life

In the mean we’ll wait for the secrets to turn our way

Chorus

If the words come undone into songs I will sing them for you

If the stories unfold into us I will be there for you

No need to look at the stars try to send empty wishes beyond

In the mean time I’m sure that the right one will fall our way

Walk on beside words and stories along for the time of your life

In the mean time I’m sure that the path clearly shows  our way

    

If the words come undone into songs I will sing them for you

If the stories unfold into us I will be there for you

If the stories unfold into us I will be there for you
