The instructions to life

What are these crises
Everyone has fires to put out
Or they light new ones like crazy
I guess it doesn't affect us
There will be new divorces each day
I see too many burnt-out flames
 
I'll read the instructions for life to you
I see lines between the corners of your eyes
Read the instructions to life on my skin with your fingers
I promise to be completely yours, whatever is in store
Whatever is in store
 
What are these years
Every contest considers each other's values
I don't want a life where you would be far away
Talk to me about everything
And if it feels like love isn't enough anymore
Let's be the type who survive even that
 
I'll read the instructions for life to you
I see lines between the corners of your eyes
Read the instructions to life on my skin with your fingers
I promise to be completely yours, whatever is in store
Whatever is in store
Reflects each other
Hearts beating against each other
When one asks, the other answers
 
I'll read the instructions for life to you
I see lines between the corners of your eyes
Read the instructions to life on my skin with your fingers
I promise to be completely yours, whatever is in store
 
The instructions to life
I promise to be completely yours, whatever is in store
 

You the most beautiful bird

These constant busy mornings
I braid your hair in two tight braids
Your pants are too short again
I ask you to eat quickly now
 
And you look at me like that
You're angry
You ask why I don't stop the clock
 
You the most beautiful bird come to my arms now
I want to stop those clocks at once
Did I already tell you how important of a messenger you are
And I thank that you have come to this world1
 
Now the apples in the garden have already ripened
These years just keep speeding by2
Maybe there will be too much time one day
When I'm waiting for you to come home late at night
 
And you look at me like that
A frown on your lips3
You ask why you have to grow up4
 
You the most beautiful bird come to my arms now
I want to stop those clocks at once
Did I already tell you how important of a messenger you are
And I thank that you have come to this world
 
You the most beautiful bird come to my arms now
I want to stop those clocks at once
Did I already tell you how important of a messenger you are
And I thank that you have come to this world
 

• 1. just a heads up: the Finnish lyrics are supposed to say 'Ja' instead of 'Jä' in this verse
• 2. alternatively: these years are going faster and faster
• 3. literally: your mouth angry
• 4. literally: you ask why you have to change in to an adult

One hundred reasons to continue

I stop on the side of the highway
When feelings overwhelmed me I had to go for a drive
It's all been too much again
These hundred little things which I always return to
 
And neither scarcely wants evil
It's easy to hurt what you love
And neither scarcely wants evil
After a moment to breathe
 
We have a hundred reasons to continue
It's one hundred memories that help us manage
And when I get tired then they carry me a little ways
A little time until I see it again
A hundred reasons to continue, a hundred reasons to continue
 
The sound of those little feet
And things that are said just before you fall asleep
The familiar curves of your body
And evenings somewhere far away entangled in the bedsheet
 
And neither scarcely wants evil
When you're exhausted you have to take the hit
And neither scarcely wants evil
I turn towards home
We have a hundred reasons to keep going
It's one hundred memories that help us manage
And when I get tired then they carry me a little ways
A little time until I see it again
A hundred reasons to continue, a hundred reasons to continue
 
We have a hundred reasons to continue
It's one hundred memories that help us manage
And when I get tired then they carry me a little ways
A little time until I see it again
A hundred reasons to continue
(How these same small habits can just be irritating too)
A hundred reasons to continue
(On other days)
A hundred reasons to continue
 

Insurmountable

It strikes just then when it shouldn't be the time
When you're in a hurry and should take care of everything
In five o'clock traffic, at the shop counter
At a Christmas party, on a coffee break
Like lightning from the sky, a pang in the chest
 
That moment is small and I'm smaller still
Even though I am less often these days
I wonder about you and where I lost you to
That moment is small but insurmountable
Insurmountable
 
I go to sleep, wake up, go to work and eat
And in between I stare at the walls of the night
Even though you're always hidden within me
You stay as a scar deep in the soul
In the shadow of the reading lamp the memories strike a pang in the chest
 
That moment is small and I'm smaller still
Even though I am less often these days
I wonder about you and where I lost you to
That moment is small but insurmountable
Insurmountable
 
You left when I was so certain
That we have everything we need
But to live I won't break down under it
It's just an ache
 
That moment is small and I'm smaller still
Even though I am less often these days
I wonder about you and where I lost you to
That moment is small but insurmountable
Insurmountable
 

You on the day when it all started

You on the day when it all started
We came from the same party
The night was beautiful and quite cold
You on the day when it all started
You told me about your crazy mom
As we counted stars above the city
You on the day when it all started
We were young and blind
 
In this story nothing goes wrong
We took a last-minute trip to Italy
Oh how I loved you
You on the day when it all started
Then from summer to winter and from lies to anger
From the party to workdays and swings in the yard
Oh how I loved you
You on the day when it all started
 
You on the day when
You on the day when
You on the day when it all started
You on the day when
You on the day when
You on the day when it all started
 
We didn't know how to anticipate
How fragile love's skin is
You on the day when it all started
And how time can fade
That which is said each evening
Even though one would want so much that
 
In this story nothing goes wrong
We took a last-minute trip to Italy
Oh how I loved you
You on the day when it all started
Then from summer to winter and from lies to anger
From the party to workdays and swings in the yard
Oh how I loved you
You on the day when it all started
 
Swings sway in the yard like rust in the breeze
And I don't know what I should regret
Since in these things there are no rulebooks
You have to just be crazy and believe that
 
In this story nothing goes wrong
We took a last-minute trip to Italy
Oh how I loved you
You on the day when it all started
Then from summer to winter and from lies to anger
From the party to workdays and swings in the yard
Oh how I loved you
You on the day when it all started
 
You on the day when
You on the day when
You on the day when it all started
You on the day when
You on the day when
You on the day when it all started
 

Whatever

You you stick in my mind, baby you stick in my mind
We were young, we were beautiful
We were in trouble with each other
It was wonderful for us but a little complicated
We were lost with each other
In our two-bedroom it was cool even in summer
In between feeling that I made a mistake in my life
I remember when you asked my to slow dance
Whenever the radio comes on
 
And it's whatever to you, and you have no one there
You could come to me for a night
Or do you remember anymore what happens to me after three glasses
You come to mind, baby you come to mind
But is it whatever to you if you don't hear anything from me
And will you run if I want something more
What happens to me, too, if I return to your side
If you stick in my mind, baby you stick in my mind
You stick in my mind, baby you stick in my mind
 
We were just like we wouldn't be, too
We were in deadlock with each other
It was just you, lips against skin
Evenings under the sheets with each other
In Kallio there are bars open till five
Between fearing that I made a mistake in my life
When I put my heart in a cardboard box
And left you with CDs and junk mail
 
And it's whatever to you, and you have no one there
You could come to me for a night
Or do you remember anymore what happens to me after three glasses
You come to mind, baby you come to mind
But is it whatever to you if you don't hear anything from me
And will you run if I want something more
What happens to me, too, if I return to your side
If you stick in my mind, baby you stick in my mind
You stick in my mind, baby you stick in my mind
You stick in my mind, baby you stick in my mind
 

Counterforces

The opposites always support each other
Who made us believe that way
Now that guy is sitting somewhere laughing by himself
Those who are in love will believe in anything
 
That way you get a bigger hoax
From the bottom of the ground he digs, but still won't find anything
In the wee hours of the morning I turn to look at you
I fear that the counterforces will separate us
 
I wouldn't change a hair in you
I learned to know you just the way you are
But you circle around me always further away
You see black when I see white
 
That way you get a bigger hoax
From the bottom of the ground he digs, but still won't find anything
In the wee hours of the morning I turn to look at you
I fear that the counterforces will separate us
 
I wish that the time of hope wouldn't treat us like that
Sometimes for those who are so in love
Are you still next to me
The night is too dark and I can't see anything
 
That way you get a bigger hoax
From the bottom of the ground he digs, but still won't find anything
In the wee hours of the morning I turn to look at you
I fear that the counterforces will separate us
 

Yeah Yeah Mother

When I was eight
I asked where we go when we did
And we’re put into graves
And mother said that
In there awaits us...
 
And then I asked
What I’ll be when I grow up
And do I have to make babies with someone
And mother told me that there’s a catch...
 
Finally, mom whispered that
Life isn’t though
It’s good that you sleep
And remember that...
 
Always when the weather is cool
Warm socks are important
It won’t be forgiven
If...
 
Yeah yeah mother told me all that’s needed
Yeah she told me all that’s essential
Yeah yeah mother told me all that’s needed
But I didn’t listen, listen, listen no
 
Listen, listen, listen no
Listen, listen, listen no
 
When I was thirteen
I wished myself dead
’Cause I loved my friend
And it was onesided
And mom comforted me
And swore that later...
 
But then, suddenly
I was already thirty two
And still I had the same problems
When I called mother
She said, listen to me...
 
Finally, mom whispered that
Life isn’t though
If you, at last, remember that...
 
It’ll always be windy at the sea
Warm socks are important
But when the heart aches...
 
Yeah yeah mother told me all that’s needed
Yeah she told me all that’s essential
Yeah yeah mother told me all that’s needed
But I didn’t listen, listen, listen, no
 
Yeah yeah mother told me all that’s needed
Yeah she told me all that’s essential
Yeah yeah mother told me all that’s needed
But I didn’t listen, listen, listen, no
 

I Would Do This Again

Now I'm scared and regretting a bit
You're standing in the entry with your bags on the floor
I'm looking at the window, worn down paint
You're dropping your last sentences
Never has it
echoed more than this in here
Doesn't anyone have instructions
for how we should do this
 
You leave steam on the window
We can not hurt each other anymore
But if you ask me
I would do this again
You leave only murmurs behind you
Even though it wasn't perfect
If you ask me
I would do this again
 
If you want to build something
You should be able to love tirelessly
However we couldn't wait
Our whole lives for better times
Can I fill the shelves
You're leaving empty
And will the hole ever fill
That you'll make in me
 
You leave steam on the window
We can not hurt each other anymore
But if you ask me
I would do this again
You leave only murmurs behind you
Even though it wasn't perfect
If you ask me
I would do this again
 
You slept a couple of nights in the hallway
When you were dumb and I was wrong
That doesn't matter anymore
What was ours is now my home only
 
You leave steam on the window
We can not hurt each other anymore
But if you ask me
I would do this again
You leave only murmurs behind you
Even though it wasn't perfect
If you ask me
I would do this again
 
I would do this again
I would do this again
I would do this again
If you ask me
I would do this again
