You keep away from all your friends Playing hide and seek at every bus station At the railway, on the trams It's 4 AM, oh man Don't want no meal a beer will do It will help you keep yourself cool It's 4 AM, oh man You record at night and sleep all day Well, at least you've got something to focus on When you're not asleep It's 4 AM, oh man Don't wanna hear a "you don't look well" Don't wanna hear a "how you're doing" It's 4 AM, oh man

I remember the time When you turned to me without a smile Told me the name that you're called No big deal at all No chat, no talk When I was rambling around I thought of you and wished I would run into you that night You appeared, what a surprise Magical, you said and I smiled Since then you've been nice to me And that's very kind of you But let's just keep it cool I don't want to cause no trouble See, I'm trying to be nice to you
3.
Who cares what you say when you’re drunk It makes no sense, well I think it does For your touch was so sweet and soft I almost fell in love When you tried to kiss me on the cheek I moved away, though I thought it’d be great Oh, who cares how one feels You’ve got another one to love anyway Who cares what you say when you’re drunk It makes no sense, well I think it does You said, you’re going back to your friends anyway Though you don’t know them any better than me I said okay
4.
Is love a friend or foe I wondered and got quite sure When love goes It takes away the smiles Off the faces You once put them on Is love a friend or foe I wondered and got quite sure When love's gone There ain't a thing but trouble You cry over all That was once the two of you
5.
I don't ask for forgiveness That's just a lie one better not get When people say they forgive They're not about to forget We walked hand in hand Busy making something out of nothing Then we learned well You leave before farewell I know you may say That's none of my business But remember we slept in a single bed That's something not to forget So now I'll tell you One more thing that his love was true Which you played upon so well It brought on Earth flaming hell
6.
What you're made of You're made of dust What you're made of You're made of blood What you're made of You're made of love What you're made of Show them son
7.
Here's a lullaby so make yourself at home, it's alright You can stay all night, I'll sleep on the couch, it's fine Lay your head down, there's no one to harm you, goodnight Those dark clouds will be gone by dawn You'll be just fine If you're into coffee, well I can make one for you If you'd eat something, I can spare what's in the fridge Those dark clouds won't be around, there'll be sunrise You'll be just fine Feel free to go but don't feel like you have to There's room for two It's alright, it's fine, I like it when you're around
8.
She said, come to Stockholm You can sleep on the couch Really nice place with the sea nearby I said, I'd go to Stockholm See for myself what it's like If it's really, if it's really that nice As I said, I'd go to Stockholm But I'm not the traveling type I don't have the money it would take for me to fly
9.
Desire 04:05
Desire, desire's placed on a mountain peak Desire, desire sleeps under the deep sea Desire, desire hides in a forest tree Desire, desire flies up above with the wind Desire's placed on a mountain I cannot reach Desire sleeps under the sea where I cannot breath Desire hides in a tree among a million trees Desire flies up above and I've got no wings Be desire, desire designed only for me Be the fire, the fire that burns but does not harm me

Special thanks to Ádám Vadász and Dávid Godzsák for the equipment, to the Szendrey-Nagy brothers for their help and hospitality throughout the recording sessions, to Nikoletta Szilvia Bánki, Krisztián Muhari and Adrienn Muhari for their assistance; and a very special thanks to Attila Szász for being the first one to listen to the demo takes of these ones.

Last but not least, a huge thanks go out to all the people who carried me for long, long years to finally see me reach this point. I believe there's no need to mention names, it's better to keep it between us anyway. You all played a big part in this record being made, and also an important role in my life.
