Tokyo Lights Fade Away 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

Words and song by Adhitia Sofyan

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
Mother 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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
Place I’ll Never Be 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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
Sudden Wonderland 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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
Rainbows & Starlight 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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
World Without a Sky (secured) 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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

Secrets of the World 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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

September 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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
Promises 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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
You’re In Town 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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 & Stories 10/1/2012 9:43:00 AM

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
