about

The Game is a soulful, jazzy ballad about the lifespan of a love relationship, the inherent naivety of the beginning, and the gradual drifting apart over time. One person moves on while the other remains caught up in the playfulness of the game.

lyrics

The Game

One single thought
A faint desire
Seed in your heart
Certain to flower
It can´t be ignored
Soon it gets under your skin
It tugs and pulls

Love made you blossom
You burned from head to toe
With Hair and skin
New thoughts came down like a rug
You wouldn’t speak
You did not want to stain our memories

You took the next step on a path I didn´t see
Soon I was lost, you were too far ahead of me

Isn´t love a game, asking for a playful heart
To cherish the day?
When your grown-up world becomes too cold and hard
Come back to play

I was so green
Always the boy, not the man I should be
So foolishly I mistook sex for love
Sex is all play, love has to grow up

You, all by yourself
Decided to go down that new road
Us, you had outgrown

Isn´t love a game, asking for a playful heart
To cherish the day?
When your grown-up world becomes too cold and hard
Come back to play

You heard the call
Eyes in the distance
Following the song of life in transition
I kept our vow
Tomorrow is the hangman
Of the here and now
