I wanna make a sound So loud everyone can hear me Then take a bow And a final silence vow I wanna disconnect Leave the track That I set for my head But I don’t wanna leave the bed I wanna cheat on her I wanna make her proud I wanna build a house A family and a town I wanna leave them be I wanna be set free But need the company But need some company I wanna disconnect Leave the track That I set for my head But I don’t wanna leave the nest Nobody knows What I need, what I need And nobody knows No I wanna disconnect Leave the track That I set for my head But I don’t wanna leave the bed Don't wanna leave the nest Don't wanna leave the pack (Don't wanna leave, don't wanna leave) Don't wanna leave alone And nobody knows So dance Take my hand Be my friend Tonight I wanna be lead Laid back Be the trend Tonight I wanna be I wanna be taken, taken, taken, taken Piggyback, piggyback I wanna be dense Take my hand Be my friend Tonight I wanna be lead Laid back Be the trend Tonight I wanna be dense Take my hand Be my friend Tonight I wanna be lead Second hand Be the trend Tonight I wanna be Dense, dense, dense, dense Dense, dense, dense, dense Dense, dense, dense, dense Dense, dense, dense, dense Dense, dense, dense, dense Dense, dense, dense, dense Dense, dense, dense, dense Dense, dense, dense, dense Tonight I wanna be (C) Leonard Schmidt.

Just ask me Don't you know that I'm waiting? Just ask me Don't you know who I am? Just ask me Have I left your mind lately, lady? Have I disappeared? I've been waiting all this time Waiting for your time All the while I'm caught up in old times Ask me While I'm still waiting, while I'm still standing, while I'm still here Just ask me Cause I'm loosing my mind lately, lady I am quite sincere Just ask me baby please For I can't take it much longer now But don't feel pressure Cause if it is one thing that I have it is time I've been waiting all this time Waiting for the time of my life But it don't seem to find time (C) Leonard Schmidt.

Außer Dich 04:04

Ich genieße deine Nähe Ich genieße deine Nähe Muss es denn gleich mehr sein? Muss es denn gleich mehr sein? Muss es denn gleich mehr sein als das? Ich genieße dich als Teil meines Lebens Meines Lebens in meiner neuen Stadt Muss es denn gleich mehr sein? Muss es denn gleich mehr sein? Muss es denn gleich mehr sein als das? Ich liebe wie du strahlst und wie du lachst und wie du aussiehst Dich und mich anziehst und alles was du machst Auch wenn nicht alles zu mir passt, nicht jeder Ton perfekt sitzt Lieb ich wie beim Singen mit dir die Zeit so verdammt kurz ist Ich liebe wie du strahlst und wie du lachst und wie du aussiehst Dich engagierst, limitierst und viel zu viel verplanst Das Rot um deine Augen, wenn du über deine Zukunft sprichst Ich liebe alles an dir außer dich, außer dich Denn ich will nur deine Freundschaft, nur deine Freundschaft Muss es denn gleich mehr sein als das? Ich schätze ich schätze dich mehr als du mich Ich schätze du schätzt mich besser ein als Ich liebe wie du strahlst und wie du lachst und wie du aussiehst Dich und mich anziehst und alles was du machst Auch wenn nicht alles zu mir passt, nicht jeder Ton perfekt sitzt Lieb ich wie beim Singen mit dir die Zeit so verdammt kurz ist Ich liebe wie du strahlst und wie du lachst und wie du aussiehst Dich engagierst, limitierst und viel zu viel verplanst Das Rot um deine Augen, wenn du über deine Zukunft sprichst Ich liebe alles an dir außer dich, außer dich Denn ich will nur deine Freundschaft, nur deine Freundschaft Muss es denn gleich weniger sein als das?

My Friend 03:59
lyrics

Surrounded by people I don’t really care for Refused by the ones I’d give much more Why is it always the same? Sometimes it seems quite easy to find True love but true friendship is denied Why is it always the same? Surrounded by people I don’t really care for Refused by the ones I’d give much more Why is it always the same? Sometimes it seems quite easy to hold on to True love but true friendship won’t unfold Why is it always the same? Yes I couldn’t give you all that you wanted But I want to give you more Yes I couldn’t give you all that you wanted But I want to give you more Than you do now, now, now So who is loving whom now now now? Don’t take it as a drag It's just a sad fact that You ain’t my friend, you ain’t my friend You ain’t my friend, you ain’t my friend Don’t you worry (don't feel sorry for me) It’s just a true story that You ain’t my friend, you ain’t my friend You ain’t my friend, you ain’t my friend Don’t take it as a drag It's just a sad fact that You ain’t my friend, you ain’t my friend You ain’t my friend, you ain’t my friend Don’t you worry It is only me, it is only me, it is only me, it is only me (C) Leonard Schmidt.

Knock, knock, knock on my door I haven‘t seen your face in ages I don‘t know you, I don't know you anymore What are you trying to sell? I can‘t tell if the stories that you’re offering Are any near true, any near true No I don‘t know you Who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d you run to If you were chased by demons, chased by demons? Who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d you run to If you were chased by demons, chased by demons? I am willing to lend a helping hand to a friend To a shadow of the past, yes I am But you’re a shadow of your former self And not, not, not, not, not Not if it gets my folks in danger If I can’t say how much you’ve changed Nobody is home Who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d you run to If you were chased by demons, chased by demons? Oh who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d you run to If you were chased by demons, chased by demons? ‚I will always have your back‘ Easy to say, much harder to act We haven‘t had contact Are you threatened or the threat? You've been running from hell, running from hell, running from hell But I can’t tell if the demons are behind you or inside of you Oh who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d you run to? Who‘d you run to if the demons were inside of you? Oh who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d, who’d you run to? If the demons are inside of you There is nothing I can do I would not have chosen you Please man don't you go to Jannah (C) Leonard Schmidt. All rights reserved.

You’re a thief You stole my dear friend You stole my dear friend You stole my thief You’re a thief You stole my dear friend You stole my dear friend You stole my thief You did not take my finger You didn’t take my hand You always lingered Around my friends I had invited you in Without any second thoughts Now I’ve lost your attention Guess I wasn’t enough You were craving for blood Guess mine wasn’t enough You’re a thief You stole my dear friend You stole my dear friend You stole my thief You’re a thief You stole my dear friend You stole my dear friend You stole my thief This song is dedicated to false pride, true love To indoctrinated beliefs, the change of mind The change of time and cause You’re a thief You stole my dear friend You stole my dear friend You stole my thief You’re a thief You stole my dear friend You stole my dear friend You stole my thief You‘re a thief yeah, thief yeah Thief, you‘re a thief You stole my, stole my You stole my, stole my You stole my thief (C) Leonard Schmidt.
