"No Boundaries" (2010)

First Kiss lyrics - alexander rybak

Deep in your heart
There's a small hidden room
And you know that I hold the key
You're gonna travel all over the world
Places where I'll never be

Someday you'll marry the man of your dreams
And I will be crying all night
But there is a secret that both of us know
That's why I'm feeling alright
Yes, there is a secret that both of us know
And that's why I'm feeling alright

There may be
Smart guys and tall guys - whose stronger than me
Ten times the charmer than I'll ever be
But one thing, Maria, I sure didn't miss
Your very first kiss

Need I say more?
The feeling is pure
And I felt the warmth of your lips
Though the time will go on
And the seasons will change
I'll allways think back on our kiss

Someday the runway will carry you home
And I will be smiling all night
Cause there is a secret that both of us know
And that's why I'm feeling alright
Yes, there is a secret that both of us know
That secret belong in the night

There may be
Sharp girls and short girls - whose swwter than you
Ten times the lady and one of a few
But one thing, Maria, you sure didn't miss
My very first kiss

Deep in my mind there's confusion and hope
And I know that you stole my thoughts
I'm gonna travel all over the world
Searching for someone to hold

Don't say it's over
When I'm underneath
Let's see if our feelings unite
Oh, there is a secret that both of us know
And that's why we're smiling tonight
Yes, there is a secret that both of us know
And that's why we're smiling tonight

There may be
Someone who truly believes love is blind
But I beg to differ there's two of a kind
They will find each other
And that is a real bliss
Our very first kiss

Europe Skies lyrics - alexander rybak

Now I'm home, but I cannot stay
I dream of you every day
Got to know every inch of you
Will you make my dream come true?

There's no place like home they say
You're my home, so hear me pray.

I don't know you, but I need more time
Promise me you'll be mine
Birds are flying over Europe skies,
Tell me please why can't I?

Times have changed, but so have I
I view my life through your eyes
On the go in my tourist's shoes
But I'll stay truthful to you

Cause there's no place like home they say
You're my home, so I guess I'll stay.

I don't know you, but I need more time
Promise me you'll be mine
Birds are flying over Europe skies
Tell me please why can't I?

I don't know you, but I need more time
Promise me you'll be mine
Birds are flying over Europe skies
Tell me please why can't I?

I'm In Love lyrics - alexander rybak

No matter what they say - now I'm in love
I do it my way - cause I'm in love
And I can keep that song out of my mind
Playing that silly tune - all the time

La da da da da
I'm in love

No matter what they say - I don't care
I do it anyway - anywhere
I found this little song on my own
She said that I'm a genius - I'm in love

My friends say that I'm crazy - I'm just fine
My neighbors stare at me - Never mind
Cause everytime this sweetness of her smile
My supersonic girl - I'm in love

No matter what they say - now I'm in love
I do it my way - cause I'm in love
And I can keep that song out of my mind
Playing that silly tune - all the time

La da da da da
I'm in love

No matter what they say - I don't care
I do it anyway - anywhere
I found this little song on my own
She said that I'm a genius - I'm in love

My friends say that I'm crazy - I'm just fine
My neighbors stare at me - Never mind
Cause everytime this sweetness of her smile
My supersonic girl - I'm in love

No matter what they say - now I'm in love
I do it my way - cause I'm in love
And I can keep that song out of my mind
Playing that silly tune - all the time

I'm in love

My friends say that I'm crazy - I'm just fine
My neighbors stare at me - Never mind
Cause everytime this sweetness of her smile
My supersonic girl - I'm in love

I'm in love
I'm in love

Oah lyrics - alexander rybak

[Intro]
Singing oah
I love you moah
You're way too young for me
But I don't mind

[Verse 1]
Never mind what your girlfriends say
Deep inside I'm quite okay
I may have fooled around once or twice
But I really need you
And it's not like I'm the only guy
I know how you make them cry
So let's start by being friends
And let this friendship never end

[Bridge]
I knew you years ago
When I was - I don't know
But let you say it's love

[Chorus]
Singing oah
I love you Moa
You're way too young for me
But I don't mind
Don't say maybe
Just be my lady
No need to hesitate
'Cause you'll be fine
Yeah

[Verse 2]
So tell me what I want to hear
No wait - let's just leave it there
You know I'm not good for you
God - I don't know what to do!
I liked you from the start
You melt my icy heart
And now it's burning out

[Chorus]
Singing oah
I love you Moa
You're way too young for me
But I don't mind
Don't say maybe
Just be my lady
No need to hesitate
'Cause you'll be fine

[Verse 3]
Don't go away
All what's left of me
I once believed you was in my soul
But if you saw me now - crying secretly
Would you hold my hand and never let it go?

[Chorus]
Singing oah
I love you Moa
You're way too young for me
But I don't mind
Don't say maybe
Just be my lady
No need to hesitate
'Cause you'll be fine

I'm Singing oah
'Cause I love you Moa
You're way too young for me
But I don't mind
Don't say maybe
Just be my lady
No need to hesitate
'Cause you'll be fine
Hey!

Kaja's Letter lyrics - alexander rybak

[Spoken Norwegian]

Hei Alexander!

I natt kom det enda mer snø!
Selma, Iselin og jeg gikk på ski til kråkeslottet,
Som er en hytte vi har laget i et tre et stykke fra huset
Vi hadde fått med sjokoladekake som mat til hytta
Verdens beste mammakake!
Etterpå hoppet vi ned i snøen
Sjokoladekakesmulene ga vi til hønene
De elsker alt vi gir dem av menneskemat
Til og med gelé med vaniljesaus!
Sauene brekte, og ville også ha mat
Men de fikk bare masse kos
Nå skal jeg spille på fiolin
Jeg øver meg på å spille det du lærte meg
Håper du snart kommer på besøk!
Mange gårsklemmer fra Kaja!

[Translation]

Hi Alexander!

It came even more snow today!
Selma, Iselin and I went on skiing to the crows castle
Which is a little hut we made in a tree some place from the house
We brought chocolate cake as food to the hut,
The world's best mom cake!
Afterwards, we jumped into the snow,
We gave the chocolate cake crumbs to the chickens,
They love everything we give them of human food,
Even the jelly with custard!
The sheeps bleated, and also wanted food,
But they only got lots of hugs
Now I will play the violin,
I'm practising to play what you taught me,
Hope you soon will come to visit!
Tons of contryhugs from Kaja!

5000 Letters lyrics - alexander rybak

5000 letters
I keep in my bedroom
5000 people
Who open their hearts
Once we were strangers
Today we are family
Mountains won't keep us apart

There is a girl
Who has drawn me aside rise
That's how she once every morning to be
A boy lost his tooth and he wants me to have it
How did this happen to me?

I want to know all their faces
And I want to be there
when they need a friend
5000 letters they wrote me
And someday I'll read them again

5000 stories
I keep in my bedroom
5000 secrets
I keep in my mind
I have been given a piece of their lifetime
Friendship is easy to find

I want to know all their faces
And I want to be there
when they need a friend
5000 letters they wrote me
And someday I'll read them again

I want to know all their faces
And I want to be there
when they need a friend
5000 letters they wrote me
And someday I'll read them again

Dare I Say lyrics - alexander rybak

Far from the place
Where I'm writing this song
There is a girl
To whom my heart belongs
She doesn't know
That I'm thinking of her
But again
That's not the point

She makes me glad
Just by being alright
Though I would wish
That just for one night
She would come back
And again we'd be friends
Like those times
When love never ends

Watching your picture
I feel I'm with you
And your hand is flirting with mine
Maybe it's pointless
But what can I do?
Knowing you're one of a kind

Honestly
I know I'll be fine

But dare I say
You are amazing in every way
And would you mind
If we woke up with each other each day?

But then I remember that I'm just a guy
And still I keep dreaming of you
Cause that's all I can do

You said you loved him
The last time we met
Please tell your boyfriend
That I'm not afraid
I know the difference
Between right and wrong
But again
That's not the point

Sometimes I sleep
With a smile on my face
Cause dreaming of you
Makes me glad
And then I wake up
While I'm still in my dream
The sweet kiss
That we never had

Honestly,
How foolish is that?

But dare I say
You are amazing in every way
And would you mind
If we woke up with each other each day?

But then I remember that I'm just a guy
And still I keep dreaming of you
Cause that's all I can do

(Dare I say?
Ooh
Would you mind?)

But dare I say
You are amazing in every way
And would you mind
If we woke up with each other each day?

But then I remember that I'm just a guy

Why Not Me? lyrics - alexander rybak

You're standing right in front of me
With a purpose I can't see
I wish I knew whats on your mind
But thats a key I'll never find
I wanna know what I did wrong
I really waited for so long
To be alone with you again
I bet your game will never end

And everybody knows your name
You're driving everyone insane
I saw you flirting with that guy
It made me jealous don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But when all you said and done
You wonder who your date would be
I wonder, Katherine, why not me?

Tonight is dark and you are gone
Again I'm wondering on my lawn
I guess I'll never know the truth
About the secrets from your youth
And if you played me all those times
I kind of thought that you'll be mine
But when I realize your world
You're just a happy little girl

And everybody knows your name
You're driving everyone insane
I saw you flirting with that guy
It made me jealous don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But when all you said and done
You wonder who your date would be
I wonder, Katherine, why not me?

Katherine why not me
(Katherine why not me?)
Katherine why not me
(Katherine why not me?)

You know I'm glad that you're my friend
I hope this story never ends
But there are times I nearly cry
You make me weak I don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But If you'd like to have some fun
Wherever you might want to be
Just say Katherine, why not me?

And everybody knows your name
You're driving everyone insane
I saw you flirting with that guy
It made me jealous don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But when all you said and done
You wonder who your date would be
I wonder, Katherine, why not me?

So Katherine why not me...

Roll With The Wind lyrics - alexander rybak

I won't blame the hurting on you
You left in the sweetest way
I won't say that it's you
Making me feel this way
It's the heart and the soul and the body and the brain
Driving me insane
But the wind and the land and the fire and the rain
Always stay the same

I wanna roll with the wind
Bringing distance to everything
I, oh
I wanna sit by the fire
And glance at the pouring rain
I, I

I won't claim it's all cause of you
I guess that I played a part
It's just that I never knew
I'd fall for you from the start
There's a hole in my heart and a picture in a frame
Driving me insane
But the wind and the land and the fire and the rain
Always stay the same

I wanna roll with the wind
Bringing distance to everything
I, oh
I wanna sit by the fire
And glance at the pouring rain
I, I

I would never blame you for the heartache
I would never blame you for the tears
I blame my stubborn heart, soul, body
Every single thing around me stays the same
No matter what

I wanna roll with the wind
Bringing distance to everything
I, oh
I wanna sit by the fire
And glance at the pouring rain
I, I

I wanna roll with the wind
Bringing distance to everything
I, oh
I wanna sit by the fire
And glance at the pouring rain
I, I

Fairytale lyrics - alexander rybak

Years ago, when I was younger
I kinda liked, a girl I knew
She was mine, and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it’s true

I’m in love, with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
Coz I don’t care if I lose my mind
I’m already cursed

Everyday, we started fighting
Every night, we fell in love
No one else, could make me sadder
But no one else, could lift me high above

I don’t know, what I was doing
When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do, we’ll get a brand new start

I’m in love, with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
Coz I don’t care if I lose my mind
I’m already cursed

She’s a fairytale, yeah
Even though it hurts
Coz I don’t care if I lose my mind
I’m already cursed

Dolphin lyrics - alexander rybak

Drifting alone
Where am I to go
The purpose in me
Sadly I don't know

Who'll take my hand
I'm sailing in the sand
Nothing to enjoy
Feeling quite destroyed

But I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I'll find my girl

No one to love
No one to lose
All by myself
This is what I choose

Lovers everywhere
Why should I even care
Will I ever change
That would sure be strange

But I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I'll find my girl

She has the taste of summer
Cute shiny eyes of love
And untill I find that girl of mine
I have a friend above
Yes, I have a friend above

'Cause I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I'll find my girl

She has the taste of summer
Cute shiny eyes of love
Until I find that girl of mine
I have a friend above
I have a friend above
Yes, I have a friend above

Kiss And Tell lyrics - alexander rybak

And you always try to warn me
Of the pretty girls out there
Now I finally learned my lesson
And she got a story to share.

Don't kiss and tell!
Don't kiss and tell!

Listen son my mama said
Love don't cost a thing.
Happiness is free for all
Just treat it like it's king.
And if you true love leaves one day
Make sure not to go wrong
The girl will laugh all the way
As she waves so long.

Don't kiss and tell!
And you always try to warn me
Don't kiss and tell!
Of the pretty girls out there
Don't kiss and tell!
Now I finally learned my lesson
And she got a story to share.

Some years later I found love,
When it seem to go my way.
The girl is like a fairytale,
I didn't have to pay.
So one day my sweetheart went
Then mama's words came true
Crying with a broken heart
I was left all blue.

Don't kiss and tell!
And you always try to warn me
Don't kiss and tell!
Of the pretty girls out there
Don't kiss and tell!
Now I finally learned my lesson
And she got a story to share.

Love is always
Love is always for sale
Cause someone's willing
Someone's willing to pay

Don't kiss and tell!
And you always try to warn me
Of the pretty girls out there
Now I finally learned my lesson
And she got a story to share.

Don't kiss and tell!
And you always try to warn me
Don't kiss and tell!
Of the pretty girls out there
Don't kiss and tell!
Now I finally learned my lesson
And she got a story to share.

Funny Little World lyrics - alexander rybak

Suddenly I'm famous,
And people know my name.
I've got a thousand girls just waiting,
And therefore it's a shame
That my heart has been captured
By your funny little smile.
And finally I'm happy,
If only for a while.

People call me stupid,
For treating you like a queen.
But I don't even worry,
'cause you're my unforeseen
And I hope that you'll be with me,
If only in my dreams.
But here you are next to me,
And you're glad, or so it seems.

And I don't know for sure
Where this is going.
Still I hope for more, and more.
'Cause who would know that you
Would treat me like a boy,
And I treat you like a girl,
In this funny little world.

Don't promise me for ever,
Just love me day by day.
No one knows the future,
We're young, but that's OK.
'Cause you'll always be a part of me,
Whatever life will bring.
And people have to bear with you,
This silly song I sing.

Your boyfriends might be angry,
My girlfriends might be blue.
But no one can deny it,
From now on I love you.
I have to say it's new to me,
This feeling in my heart.
Guess I've been kind of lonely,
And you've been kind of smart.

And I don't know for sure
Where this is going.
Still I hope for more, and more.
'Cause who would know that you
Would treat me like a boy,
And I treat you like a girl,
In this funny little world.

And I don't know for sure
Where this is going.
Still I hope for more, and more.
'Cause who would know that you
Would treat me like a boy,
And I treat you like a girl,
In this funny little world.

This funny little world.

If You Were Gone lyrics - alexander rybak

If you were gone the moon would lose its brightness
Without your smile the finch would sing no more
And once in a while some waves would sigh with sadness
Remembering two lovers walking by the shore

If you were gone the days would all be pointless
And in the night I'd sing the song so blue
A song about spring and every happy moment
When I had all the time alone with you

[Chorus:]
But you're right here and nothing could be better
So take my hand and stay with me 'till dawn
And while the wind is playing with your sweater
I can't imagine life if you were gone...

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
But you're right here and nothing could be better
So take my hand and stay with me 'till dawn
And while the wind is playing with your sweater
I can't imagine life if you were gone...

If you were gone the world would lose its meaning
Without your love how could I smile again
And though the sun would always keep on shining
I'd never shine without my dearest friend

[Chorus:]
But you're right here and nothing could be better
So take my hand and stay with me 'till dawn
And while the wind is playing with your sweater
I can't imagine life if you were gone...

Abandoned lyrics - alexander rybak

Sleepless in the night
I try to lose my faith in you
Saying to myself,
"You can't be the right one for me"

And now that you are gone
I finally get a taste of freedom
Only problem is:
I don't really want to be free

I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't wanna feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same

I don't want to burn your letters
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't wanna waste my youth

You tried to suffocate with your pretence
And I believed in this shallow romance
I ran for cover but I couldn't hide
And still you tried to get me to abide

You scratched me like a perfume ad
Erasing all the feelings that I had
And all the time you faked this loneliness
Cause you wouldn't see my twisted mess

I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't wanna feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same

I don't want to burn your letters
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't wanna waste my youth

13 Horses lyrics - alexander rybak

13 horses swimming in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
Their ship is gone
and now they are alone
With water everywhere around them
The men were saved
from the sinking ship
Right before it started to burn
And while they're safe
their loyal friends need help
Patiently waiting for their turn

13 horses swimming in the sea
They don't even know it's pointless
Their pride remains
but this time it won't help
They used to be so tall
and suddenly they're small
There's a couple waiting far behind
Soon they will be out of sight
But then who cares -
they're dying anyway
All of them are doomed this night

11 horses swimming in the sea
The sea they thought was just a river
They're used to this
it's probably just a race
That helps to ease their minds
but where's the finish line
The night grows dark
the body wants to rest
It hurts to breathe
and still they do their best
They want to live
no matter for how long
Their thoughts all disappeared
'Cause now they're really scared

7 horses struggling in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
They don't look back
'cause what's the point of that
There is only death behind them
They cry for help
but help will never come
They don't know where to swim
or what they're swimming from
They try to swim some more
when panic starts to spread
They're swimming in to shore
but only in their heads

The 3 last horses
Dying in the sea
Shouting out their cries for no one
They're born to win
they're screaming in their hearts
The strength of thousand men
They're fighting to the end

The sun is out
Birds are everywhere
They're flying high
surfing in the air
It's nice to live
when life is such a blast
One horse still swims
it seems to be the last

The thirteenth horse
has always been the best
His owner will be proud
But now he wants to rest
He's longing for his home
The girl will give him food
"Good boy" - she'll say
together they will play

13 horses swimming in the sea
Soon they will be gone forever
And while they swim,
One thing still remains
And that's the hope that never dies
It never dies
It never dies

500 Miles lyrics - alexander rybak

When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I'm gonna walk 500 miles
And I'm gonna walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I'm gonna walk 500 miles
And I'm gonna walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you.

But I'm gonna walk 500 miles
And I'm gonna walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

Fela Igjen lyrics - alexander rybak

(feat. Opptur)

[Chorus:]
En, og så to, og så tre, og så fir,
og så en, og så to, og så tre, og så fir!
Og en, og så to, og så tre, og så fir,
og så en, og så to, og så tre og så fir!

[Rapper 1:]
Kjærlighet gjør blind
helt til fela ryker!
Gamle toner spilles
av en ny stryker!
Hard slag for enhver spellemann,
både skrøpelig,
og elegant!

Står og klemmer kviser,
flexer minimuskler,
i speilet!
Kan ikke feile,
med den sjarmen der!
Og gir 100-lapper regnet!

På jakt etter skjegg og bart,
skulle hatt kart,
der han står!
Null funn,
men likevel raker han haka sår!

En siste sjekk på håret,
før han ramler ut av døra.
Akkurat for seint til trikken
der han løper gjennom søla!

Han er ennå svett i henda,
armhulene sikler,
melkesyra sitrer.
Bare beina ikke svikter!

Endelig framme,
klissvåt,
og med lommeboka glemt!
Får han kjapt følelsen
at dette aldri skjer igjen!
For

[Alexander:]
hun begynte å flørte med kjekkere menn!
Så jeg bytta bort kua,
fikk fela igjen!

[Chorus:]
Nå skal det ikke mangle
på damer og spenn!
For han bytta bort kua,
fikk fela igjen!

[Chorus:]
En, og så to, og så tre, og så fir,
og så en, og så to, og så tre, og så fir!
Og en, og så to, og så tre, og så fir,
og så en, og så to, og så tre og så fir!

[Rapper 2:]
Gjennomsyret av
beklemthet,
selvom typen er
bekjent med
stereotypiske jenter.
Men pengeproblemene begrenser
seleksjonen av ingredienser.

Så konsekvensen blir
temmelig forglemmelig,
og så mennelig
i beste sendetid,
i det han river i
til kvelden er forbi.

Med sin egen
kjærlighetseliksir
Coca Cola,
svir i lommeboka!

Men det går kanskje, mann,
å holde hodet kaldt,
og håpe å få a
på kroken med sang!
Men det er ikke noe på gang,
med mangel på kroner
og god proviant.

For så gå på do med en modigere mann.
Som attpåtil går rundt med bankkort!

Alexander var ikke
interessant nok
for denne damas
elegante mannstokt!

For ett melodramatisk komplott!
Slått av sitt eget paradoks!
Men det er bråtevis av lister
for den evinnelige optimist!

For livet er en violin,
med behov for en violinist!

[Alexander:]
Hun begynte å date med rikere menn!
Vel, jeg bytta bort kua,
fikk fela igjen!

[Chorus:]
Nå skal det ikke mangle
på damer og spenn!
For han bytta bort kua,
fikk fela igjen!

[Chorus:]
Rai lala ... [etc]

[Rapper 3:]
Okay! Ny taktikk!
Alle gode ting er tre!

Nå har han blitt både pen og rik,
men det hjelper visst ikke det!
Man er sin egen lykkes smed.
Skjebnen vil aldri gi deg fred!
Har man først nådd til topps,
kan det bare gå ned!

Fela har fått en annen klang!
Gått på samme smellen, gang på gang!
Veien til suksess kan ofte føles unødvendig lang.
Og når gode råd er dyre,
kan man si at det er flaks at man har masse spenn!
Klok av skade lærer man av det som har hendt,
og prøver seg på nytt igjen!

[Alexander:]
Jeg tok med den peneste dama på fest,
og dro med en kompis for å ta en liten test!
De to gikk avsted for å snakke privat.
Jeg trodde de bare skulle slå av en prat.

[Rapper 3:]
5 minutter ble til 10!
Han ble utålmodig!!
Hadde bestevennen fått a på gli?
Nysgjerrigheten førte han mot stedet
der han hadde sett dem gå forbi.

Det som møtte han akkurat da
ga han mest løst til å grine!
For der lå hans to nærmeste
på gølvet og klinte!

[Alexander:]
Jeg så henne kline med min beste venn!
Så jeg bytta bort kua,
fikk fela igjen!

[Chorus:]
Nå skal det ikke mangle
på damer og spenn!
For han bytta bort kua,
fikk fela igjen!

[Chorus:]
En, og så to, og så tre, og så fir,
og så en, og så to, og så tre, og så fir!
Og en, og så to, og så tre, og så fir,
og så en, og så to, og så tre og så fir!

[Chorus:]
Nå skal det ikke mangle
på damer og speeeeeeenn!

[Alexander:]
Jeg bytta bort kua,
fikk fela igjen!!!
