How many evenings have I sung your name?
Been looking for you every bar, every summer, every city I sometimes visit
And I write it now next to your name
A part of me can wait for it until
We both feel what they call winds on Mars
Okay, alright this is your song
We tie cans after the evening's last commuter train
So many nights I've found myself in your neighborhood
Many maybes now, even more 'never again'
Have you heard of a wind that awakens love?
'Cause I can wait for you, now I'm sure
Can make the heavens open up and get erased
So the rain at our window becomes background noise
Heaven probably closed an hour ago
And I can give up everything if you just ask me
Following your silhouette, come with me everywhere
And every door I've stumbled into bears your last name
So, okay, alright, I see what you're waiting for
I'm sitting alone on Mars, have been for several years
They must be hoping for us, I'm letting time pass
I've lost my voice but you hear me anyway
How many evenings have I sung your name?
Been looking for you every bar, every summer, every city I sometimes visit
And I write it now next to your name
A part of me can wait for it until
We both feel what they call winds on Mars
There's probably winds on Mars, but I've never been there
And I can wait for it 'til they get here where I am
Can't be perfect, 'cause I'm ugly and vulgar
Wanna play mommy, daddy, child in this f*cked up world
And every rumor is true, when I've finished a bottle of liquor
I did everything to forget you
There's probably winds on Mars that might whisper sometimes
But I'm the guy on Söder Mälarstrand who's screaming your name
There's nothing you can't have, nothing that's impossible
And I'll hold your hair if you wanna puke in some yard
There's nothing you can't do, but things we'll never be
And all the years without you I call wasted time, so
Alright, okay, I'll calm down
But your friends make it hard for me to behave
I'm up during the day longing for the night
To listen for winds on Mars, oh
How many evenings have I sung your name?
Been looking for you every bar, every summer, every city I sometimes visit
And I write it now next to your name
A part of me can wait for it until
We both feel what they call winds on Mars
If it means something, if it can give me an answer
If I find our names in the same tree, at the same bar
Is it a sign from someone, who sees us from above?
Or has this idiot become sentimental?
Standing at a secret spot, waiting for you all evening
We would've made love here, but I went out instead
Shared thoughts between shared puffs
The red sky makes me wanna fight
Wanna feel winds all around me now
I'm standing in the eye of the storm and all I see is you
If it means 'us', it doesn't answer everything
But I will always sing your name
How many evenings have I sung your name?
Been looking for you every bar, every summer, every city I sometimes visit
And I write it now next to your name
A part of me can wait for it until
We both feel what they call winds on Mars
