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 dont 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 wont last
I dont mind if the world crashes down
Wake up wake up
Isnt 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 Im wide awake
As the sunlight have fallen I stood by the bed
I dont 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 dont mind if the world crashes down

I
I
I
I

held on too close the skys finally fall over me

stood all too tall the grounds finally shake under me
fell to the light they were more translucent than I knew.
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 Im 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 wont 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 angels choir?
When time will fade
Your words wont 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

Its 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 Ill never be
Into darker valley of your heart
Haunted places back in time
Bolder lines that hypnotize
Its you, theyre 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
Ive 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
Weve 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.

Id 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, Id 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, Id stare at the sky
Id 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 youre 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 youre gone and we live on a different times
Both of us spend our own days on a separate lines
You be closing your eyes, Id 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
Youll found yourself all alone
Well found our ways once light went down
Be gone every night you lived
In time look on things that we see
For once theyll gone
Now youve 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.

Havent you heard how a star finally died in the end?

They say an explosion of rose splits the sky far beyond our minds
And wed all fall down, Into question why
But I dont want to hear about them secrets off the world
Try to sneak into sanitys stand
All I need to know, will I find my way to you?
Havent you heard what the angels have asked there in Heaven?
They said, Havent we been enough that Youve let mankind rule
the world?
And wed 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 Ill be gone, youll 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 Ill be gone, and youll be too
So, I should stay, for a while
You see, its been a while since I felt this way
But, we both now time is closing in
Till Ill be gone, youll 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 cant keep
I dont seek the secrets of the world
But if I made a promise that I, I should keep
Itll be to find my way to you
Ill find my way to you

Lay me down on an afternoon

Gonna wait a while till I made a tune
Ill sing it loud in the month of June
When Ill see your smile I would see it soon
So let me ride on a silver moon
Itll 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 youre 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
Ill be around when everything falls
And then Ill go run it again
To see if it crashes down the same
But then, I dont feel like losing anymore
The city weeps while youre in town
The lights went on a little dimmer
As if they knew the way its going to end
I see weve 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 Ill wait for the pages to turn my way
Hop on above words and stories along for the ride of your life
In the mean well 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 Im 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 Im 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
