Looptroop

Even when we're not on tour I'm sleeping on the floor.
Always on the road, on the couch, or with some girl I don't know.
Hear myself say - I gotta go, I gotta leave, we gotta roll,
a restless soul, mom I love you, promise I'll give you a call
once we checked out, sound checked, checked in the hotel room.
Yeah, I know you want that same kind of perfume,
off course I'll get it, get my brother on the phone.
Tell grandma I'll help her with that garden stuff as soon as I'm home.
We'll sit down and talk when I'm in Västerås
I don't know when, but once I'll get, I'll send you my schedule for shows.
I'll call the booking right away, I'm going down to Jay in Malmoe,
meet up with the guys in Gothenburg, work on the album.
They say, home is where you're heart at, don't know where to start at,
got loved ones all over, cross oceans and borders.
I mean I love to travel, hate to fly, I want to go, but hate goodbyes
plus it's getting worse - Looptroop is on the rise.
At times you'd like to press pause, no more ciaos and adios,
but I'll be back in bit, now I'm out, business calls.
I gotta fly away. Gotta catch the train.
We gotta catch the plane but I really can't complain.
We gotta fly away. Pack my bags today.
We gotta ride the wave. See you in a couple of days.
I'm sorry for all I'm sorrys that came too late.
I'm sorry for the times that I went away
but yo, I'm still here cus my love came to stay.
Remember that even though the weather is grey today.
I know we had some situations and I hate to say
that I don't know the answers and how to erase the pain.
Close your eyes for the things that led us astray
Then open them up towards a straighter way.
All I ever wanted was to hear you say my name.
Capture this second we'll forever stay the same.
I take the blame for all my great escapes,
there's a high price to pay for travellin´ state to state.
I'm gone right now but you won't wait in vain.
I'll be back before you know it to put the aches on layaway.
Don't be afraid I know we'll remain ok,
till I'll be back keep in touch through the radio waves.
Sometimes I fly away but don't cry babe cus you know I love you girl
and you know that you're my world. It's just you and me,
that's the way we supposed to be.
You flew away like you were scared that I would clip your wings
after five years we haven't kicked it since,
but straight up this ain't no pimpin' thing:
You a true queen baby only fit for kings.
Maybe I couldn't see in the midst of things,
now in my chain of life you're the missin' link.
Just to hear your voice used to lift my chin,
and I still feel the taste from when I kissed your skin
I'm looking at your picture wishing we'd click again,
next time I make sure to get our shit in synch,
next time I be your man through the thick and thin.
I promise no more committing wicked sins.
I buy you a house with a picket fence,
get you everything you could give me twins.
No bullshit on tour never hittin' skins,
chasin' no groupies with chicken wings.
Not the type to chain you between bed and kitchen sink.
I merely praise the place where your lips begin.
Your hips begin - I know you're quick to think:
It's pathetic, but I'd be the richest prince,
if you once more unzip and let me sip your drink.
Addicted to your love worse than nicotine.
But there's too much pain for me to dig within,
so I'm a let the music massage my crippled limbs...
and just fly away into my hideaway sometimes I lie awake
and cry the night away why you had to fly away?
Now you're miles away. You took my smile away.
why couldn't you have stayed?
