ELISA – Happiness Is Home

Here it comes the joy of being alone
I’m such a child on my own
just a child on my own

‘cause I know it’s true and I see it’s right
I know it’s true and I see it’s right

here it goes on happiness is home
here it goes on happiness is home
happiness is home
happiness is home

and I know it’s not a dream
I don’t want this to be sweet
I just know it’s not a dream
I’m not gonna get sick of it

‘cause I know it’s true and I see it’s right
I just know it’s true and I see it’s right

here it goes on happiness is home
here it goes on happiness is home
here it goes on happiness is home
here it goes on happiness is home
happiness is home, happiness is home

don’t you say it (I would say)
don’t you say it (you talked too soon)
don’t you say it
and it’s already late to get back, to go back…

here it goes on happiness is home
happiness is home, happiness is home
here it goes on happiness is home
happiness is home, happiness is home
happiness is home, happiness is home
here it goes on, here it goes on
here it goes on, goes on, goes on
is home
is home
happiness is back home and it’s back home

ELISA – Hallelujah

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…

But Baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…

Well there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…

Well, maybe there is a God above
But all I’ve ever learnt from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Hallelujah, hallelujah…

ELISA – Rainbow (Bedroom Rockers Remix)

You are not an enemy anymore
there’s a ray of light upon your face now
I can look into your eyes
and I never thought it could be so simple

you can hear the music with no sounds
you can heal my heart without me knowing
I can cry in front of you
’cause you’re not afraid to face my weakness

when we’ll wake up some morning rain will wash away our pain
when we’ll wake up some morning rain will wash away our pain

’cause it never began for us
It’ll never end for us
’cause it never began for us
It’ll never end for us

you are not my enemy anymore
there’s a ray of light upon your face now
It’ll be all new again
there is something else just ’round the corner

so when we’ll wake up some morning rain will wash away our pain
when we’ll wake up some morning rain will wash away our pain

’cause it never began for us
It’ll never end for us
no it never began for us
It’ll never end for us

I was looking for a place to stay
are you looking for a place to stay?

no it never began for us
It’ll never end for us
no it never began for us
It’ll never end for us

no it never began for us
It’ll never end for us
no it never began for us
and it’ll never end for us

ELISA – Forgiveness

I’m lost and scared to live this life
I thought I’d always be strong
This rage this dark side I don’t want to feel
lays there… lays there… lays there…

There on the bottom inside looking lost like a child
but I know that you’re mine
we only need…

Forgiveness our key to the world
Forgiveness I’m frightened to deserve
Forgiveness all that we need
it’s Forgiveness I am not sure I know…

It was the love untaught trapped in your mind
so empty with me…
A silent stone that struck my heart while I looked for a sign a sign…

You felt the pain you felt the fear
but you chose not to see
made it your destiny, is it time for…

Forgiveness… for we have paid
Forgiveness is our key to the world
Forgiveness for the love untaught
It’s Forgiveness I’ll be… waiting for…

Forgiveness… for we have paid
Forgiveness is our key to the world
Forgiveness for the love untaught
It’s Forgiveness I’ll be… waiting for…

ELISA – Fairy Girl

I’d like to sit on the grass for a while
And wear my favourite dress for a while
I’d like to sit on the grass for a while
And wear my favourite dress for a while

You would drive your car
And your life to the sea
Speaking your mind about
All you wanted to be
Have you ever felt this free
In such a small world
So light that if you’d leave
You may not return

And this way you’d drive us away
Without words left to say our souls
Drowning into the night
We would know how our secrets were there
To be told I would feel I could be forever
The fairy girl
The fairy girl

I’d like to sit on the grass for a while
And wear my favourite dress for a while

You’d keep your eyes on me
‘til I was asleep
Touching my childish face
Your last embrace
I loved the air dancing ‘round
Your hair and my skin
I simply loved it
‘Til the end from the beginning

This way I lived and with no “wonder whys“
I came out of the dream
that was holding on to you
It’s the sweetest dance I ever danced
What I hear is the music
That runs through my veins
It is made of the nights of the sea
Of the fields of the scent of asphalt
When it rains

The fairy girl (she is lying on the grass)…
The fairy girl (she is lying on the grass)…
The fairy girl (she is lying on the grass)…
The fairy girl (she is lying on the grass)…

The fairy girl
The fairy girl
The fairy girl
The fairy girl
The fairy girl
The fairy girl

ELISA – Dancing

Time is gonna take my mind
and carry it far away where I can fly
the depth of life will dim
my temptation to live for you

if I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
‘cause it’s all about love and I know better
how life is a waving feather

so I put my arms around you, around you
and I know that I’ll be leaving soon
my eyes are on you, they’re on you
and you see that I can’t stop shaking

no I won’t step back
but I’ll look down to hide from eyes
‘cause what I feel is so sweet
and I’m scared that even my own breath
oh, could burst it, if it were a bubble
and I’d better dream if I have to struggle

so I put my arms around you, around you
and I hope that I will do no wrong
my eyes are on you, they’re on you
and I hope that you won’t hurt me

I’m dancing in the room
as if I was in the woods with you
don’t need for anything but music
music’s the reason why I know time still exists
time still exists
time still exists
time still exists

so I just put my arms around you, around you
and I hope that I will do no wrong
my eyes are on you, they’re on you
and I hope that you won’t hurt me

my arms around you, they’re round you
and I hope that I will do no wrong
my eyes are on you, they’re on you, they’re on you
my eyes…

ELISA – Come Speak To Me

Come speak to me

ELISA – Broken

Hard times flowing and my eyes couldn’t see stars shining
my heart couldn’t feel the beauty of the rising sun
and I’m lost like a bottle that floats in the sea forever
will somebody pick up my hope?
will somebody try?
will I realize?

’cause it’s broken broken
something got broken like stolen, stolen
like if it was stolen, and hurting, hurting
I have been hurting and now
only time will tell
time will heal

just pieces of truth that I chose to keep and
no matter if now they are gone
No matter if I am alone
still I can get back on my feet and walk on
as I know there was something to learn
I know there will always be more worth moving on for

though, it’s broken broken
something got broken like stolen, stolen
like if it was stolen, and hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
only time will tell

’cause it’s broken broken
something got broken like stolen, stolen
like if it was stolen, and hurting, hurting
I have been hurting and now
only time will tell

I’d love to be one of those colourful early summer days
when everybody’s happy that you came
everybody smiles back at you as soon as your eyes cross their eyes
but something has to happen first
I know winter has to come before it blossoms

So it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen, stolen
Like if it was stolen, and hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell

’cause it’s broken broken
something got broken like stolen, stolen
like if it was stolen, and hurting, hurting
I have been hurting and now
only time will tell

Time will heal

ELISA – Apologize

Been a hard day, but I’m feel insane
Though they point at me with the fingers of blame
The last deal real and I know it’s a shame
Get on track, but is that my aim?
Apologize, destined to apologize
Apologize, destined to apologize
Tu, tu, tu, tu…

It’s a fresh day, but adrenaline slow
And I ask myself, should I just let go?
Wanted to sleep, but it’s too inflow
If we take that lead will you even know?
Apologize, destined to apologize
Apologize, destined to apologize
Tu, tu, tu, tu…

Can’t read the future, don’t believe in miracles
I’m just stepping on water, stumbling into some order
I can’t read future, don’t believe in a miracle
I’m just stepping on water, stumbling into some order
Yeah, just stepping on water!

Making it through and satisfied
Can you hear them say how death to fight
When the crowd run, I still wanna hide
But my hair is straight I’m loving insight
Apologize, you’re destined to apologize
Apologize, destined to apologize
Tu, tu, tu, tu

Can’t read the future, don’t believe in miracles
I’m just stepping on water, stumbling into some order
I can’t read future, don’t believe in a miracle
I’m just stepping on water, stumbling into some order
Yeah, just stepping on water!

ELISA – Almeno Tu Nell’Universo

Sai, la gente è strana,
prima si odia e poi si ama
cambia idea improvvisamente,
prima la verità e poi mentirà a noi
senza serietà, come fosse niente.

Sai, la gente è matta,
forse è troppo insoddisfatta
segue il mondo ciecamente
e quando la moda cambia, lei pure cambia
continuamente, scioccamente.

Tu, tu che sei diverso,
almeno tu nell’universo
un punto sei, che non ruota mai intorno a me
un sole che splende per me soltanto
come un diamante in mezzo al cuore, tu.

Sai, la gente è sola
e come può lei si consola
non far sì che la mia mente
si perda in congetture, in paure
inutilmente e poi per niente.

Tu, tu che sei diverso,
almeno tu nell’universo
un punto sei, che non ruota mai intorno a me
un sole che splende per me soltanto
come un diamante in mezzo al cuore.
Tu, tu che sei diverso,
almeno tu nell’universo
non cambierai, dimmi che per sempre sarai sincero
e che mi amerai davvero di più, di più, di più.

Di più.

ELISA – A Feast For Me

Well there’s a party for me,
the last thing I wanted from you
I close the door behind me and there you are
you seem relaxed and quiet
but under your shirt you sweat
and these balloons around make me feel so sad.

Well there’s a feast for me, but it’s a night so pale
feels like an empty room where we could kill with words
you wish you could make believe that I’m what you want me to be
but these balloons around make me feel so sad

I’m in your sweet, sweet, sweet embrace
and you’re a thousand miles away
your arms a sweet, sweet, sweet embrace
and you’re a thousand miles away.

Well there’s a party for me
and you know that I didn’t ask for it
I just stay in your game I’m just playing your game
so won’t you tell me what to do,
I can pretend you tell the truth
won’t you tell me what to do,
I can pretend you tell the truth

I’m in your sweet, sweet, sweet embrace
and you’re a thousand miles away
your arms a sweet, sweet, sweet embrace
and you’re a thousand miles away.
Why? why? Why? Why?

Should I take the blame, where’s my big mistake
should I feel happy for what I haven’t done
should I take the blame, should I feel the pain
or should I feel regret for what I haven’t done
Why? Why? Why? Why?

Was this a feast for me or just a bad surprise?
Should I have expected this? I just don’t wanna know
and you’ve made up the rules so that you’ll win this game
but you can’t tell me what to do
’cause I don’t believe in you

What’s left a sweet sweet sweet embrace
and you’re a thousand miles away
your arms a sweet sweet sweet embrace
and you’re a thousand miles away
Why? Why?
I’ll never ask you why… Why.

ELISA – Fresh Air

Fresh Air Some fresh air, to breathe in

Take a chance, have a dream
a safe ground to lay down
and count on what you’ve found

You tell me what is this
is it an earthquake?
You tell me what is this
is it an earthquake?

Does everything come back to you?
Is everything cyclical?
I only meant to be true
I only meant to be true

Some fresh air, to breathe in
take a chance, have a dream
a safe ground where I can lay down and just count on what I’ve found

You tell me what is this

You tell me what is this

Does everything come back to you?
Is everything cyclical?
I only meant to be true
