Personality goes a long way

It may be years until
My fairytales will be fulfilled
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay
It may be years until reality
Will match up with my fantasy
But I'll get there
Cause I've got personality

I can do that

When you're drunk it's like
You're made out of steel
And you're dying to feel
Cause your heart ain't real

When you're drunk it's like
You only want to get laid
You can't think straight
And you forget every promise you made

Next time you're drunk it'll be like this
Close your eyes and I'm on your skin
Close your eyes and you can stick it in
Close your eyes and I'll be your biggest sin

Cause whatever I did or said
I know I'll stay in your head
Cause of the things I'm good at
I know I can give you one look and you'll be hooked, cause I can do that

But remember this when you close your eyes
You had me once like no other man
We can look at each other that way only we can
But I'm never sleeping in your bed again

Geef het door

Denk je nog wel eens aan mij?
Dat het niet zo heeft mogen zijn?
Jij weet nog letterlijk alles wat ik zei
Want ik deed je zo onwijs veel pijn

Een volle liefdes CV later begin ik te snappen
Dat ik had moeten nadenken wat ik deed
Want nu heb ik mijn hart de grond in laten trappen
Door iemand die niet beter weet

Hij heeft de regels van het liefdesverkeer niet door
Ik voelde wat jij hebt doorstaan
Geef het door: egoïsten gaan voor
Maar ze komen nooit op hun bestemming aan

Tijdsloos (2004)

Waarom gaat de tijd door?
Waarom staat hij niet soms even stil?
Ik wou dat ik het stil kon zetten
Op ieder moment dat ik wil

Dan ging ik terug naar een zomerse dag
Toen ik nog verliefd was op jou
En heerlijk in je armen lag
Denkend dat het voor eeuwig duren zou

Lekker ongecompliceerd
Leven zonder haken en ogen
Het nadenken bijna verleerd
Totdat de tijd was omgevlogen

Uiteindelijk kwam er op een dag
Een einde aan het gedachteloze bestaan
En ik toch haken en ogen zag
En dacht: had de tijd maar stil gestaan

Unnecessary

Girl, I've seen you hanging around
You are the talk of the town
Cause you're letting your heart hang out

He ain't gonna change his plan
He's doing this because he can
You and his girl eating out of his hand

He doesn't know what you're worth
Neither do you if you let him treat you like dirt
He ain't the last man on earth

Girl, I've seen you hanging around
You are the talk of the town
Cause you're letting it all hang out

They're all ringing at your door
They only want pussy galore
Is that what you've been waiting for?

It's sad to see how your nights end
The way you put yourself out there with your friends
Is the hole in your soul really filled by men?

Girls, get out of this mess
Everybody sees your loneliness
Everybody feels your emptiness

It's sad to see
It's such a pity
Cause it's so unnecessary

Negativity

I think you're sweet
I know you truly care about me
But I can't handle your negativity

If I feel low
I laugh about it and turn around
But you keep on talking 'bout it and keep me down

I still believe
It's my own choice to feel what I feel
Even if it's a dream that will never be real

I don't need your reality
Cause I feel what I feel and if it makes me happy
I may fall flat on my face one day maybe

But I'll get up and groove
Cause that's the way I move
That's the way I live, that's what I choose

Misery loves company
But that ain't me
Cause I don't like your negativity

I wish I could turn you around
You've got a nice life too, no need to feel down
We can laugh about it, let me show you how

Anvers (Antwerpen)

Anvers, je veux habiter a d'Anvers.
J'adore les monuments de rue de la Meir,
L'architecture et la culture,
Les bâtiments et les places,
C'est amour sincère, ne c'est pas en face.
Anvers, je prendre entre mes bras!

(Hope my French is good enough for this)

Pool Table

Financial insecurity
Trouble with my family
I always want guys who don't want me
I thought at this age
I would have passed this stage
But I guess some things just never change
I thought 27 meant stable
I am young, willing and able
With more balls than a pool table
When will the tables turn?
Is there something I still have to learn?
Cause I do nothing but wait and yearn

The devil's best friend (2003)

It was just a date
I wanted to be friends
You thought I was sexy, but I was innocent
You keep calling me up
Keep sending me messages
I broke your heart and made your life a mess

Oh, the devil would wish
I was one of his
He couldn't do it as good as this

I never denied
You caught my eye
But I never said you were on my mind
Just a little flirt
But you dug deeper than that
You got me wrong and you got upset

Oh, the devil would wish
I was one of his
He couldn't do it as good as this

Just one look
And you can't resist
I'm the best you ever f*cked and kissed
You can't say no
I own your backbone
You want me, but you also want me to leave you alone

Oh, the devil would wish
I was one of his
He couldn't do it as good as this

New start (back in 2003)

It kinda felt like you burned my house down
Anyway you turned my life around
For always, for always

It kinda felt like I had no home
When I was sad, I didn't know where to go
Alone, so alone

Whether you hurt me or I hurt you
I kinda hope we learned a thing or two
Somehow, I hope so

So you'll always have a place in my mind
Even though you are not my kind
In the end I know

So if you've forgotten about me somehow
You are still a part of me now
For always, for always...

I'll be alright

I pick myself up from the ground
I'm not the type to feel so down
Look at the new glory I've found
I'm up for the rebound

I know it will happen for me
I'll get to that job with that salary
I can't give up so easily
I want to buy a house before I turn thirty

Look at me
I've acquired all I need
All I thought I'd never be
Who's laughing now, since I've got my Master's degree?

I've got my big backbone
I've got the will to fight
I've got the power
I'll be alright

Read me

Here is where I write my highs and lows
You're checking me out cause you wanna know
But if you really wanna know, pick up the phone
We had a fairytale, it was rather short
I had a lot of feelings I put down in words
So at first I thought this really hurts
Now I don't know what I feel
Somewhere I still think we could be ideal
Somewhere I also think half of this ain't real
We barely know each other, it all went so fast
I can surprise you, cause you thought I'd be half-mast
But I don't believe in love anymore, nothing lasts

Secret language

We've got this thing you only read about in magazines
We speak this secret language between the sheets
We only need one look and we've got maximum speed
We are faster than a Lamborghini
With this secret language no one else speaks

Small town blues

I know city people hate the narrow mindedness here
But I love I always have all my friends near
If I'm happy or down someone always wants to grab a beer
I can go to supermarket and bump into all my peers

Yes they all talk, people talk anyway
If I don't know them, I don't care what they say
I have friends who love me everyday
Just around the corner or a block away

I do what I want even if I'm a fool
I don't live here to act way too cool
I just want to have fun whatever I do
It's my life so I make up the rules

I dance my ass off everywhere there are beats
You catch me on queensday on the middle of the street
You can join me if you like to move your feet
Or you can stare at me if you think I act ridiculously

I know some can't wait 'till my ego has landed
I know some are wishing I was easily offended
I noticed on hyves some seem to have defriended
But I'm just me, nothing other than that

So I laugh loud in the middle of the bar
So I seem to look arrogant from up far
So I met you when I was drunk and forgot who you are
Everybody is sometimes caught off guard

I just go out and hang out with my friends
I don't think most people are all that different
Me and my friends love each other, no need to pretend
In this small town that I'll love 'till the end

Summertime

Beach or barbecue
Sunshine, sky blue
Party, concert
Wine, nice flirt
Old friends, new friends
Dancing to our favorite bands
Endorphin overdose
Feeling it from head to toes
I can see it with my eyes closed
Isn't it just pure perfection?
From 12 AM 'till 12 PM
Getting drunk and tanned
Can't wait 'till it's summer again

Niet bereikend, de bestemming

Een in dwaling geëindigde vlucht

De reis had vol moed aangevangen

Maar de woorden bleven hangen in de lucht
