Or start it off again
There's no sign of weakness in me
Do I compel you like you compel me?
And nothing stays the same
And no one said it would
I would not think of such things if I could...
If I could help myself,
If I could
So put your warm little hands where I can see them
Put those hands on my face
Tell me you love me
And no one else
Or close those little hands
Now they're fists
Now they're little fists
Punch a hole in me with those fists
If you ever wanted to punch a hole in me
And find out what's in me
There's really nothing in me
And nothing stays the same
And nothing ever happens to you that will happen to you again
Or is this the way it was?
Was it this same room, this same fight, this same scene?
With us dancing on the kitchen floor
And the wind climbing in through the open window
I used to hear distant cracks out in the city night
I could swear some one was being shot down
Now we hear that all the time...
So do you like where we're headed?
Does it make sense in your eyes?
Do you miss me, baby, when I fall asleep?
Do you reach out for my arm?
Do you find it's too far away?
Do you?
Now tell me I'm handsome
I will tell you we are really not old at all
There's no use to complain
Still you and no one else
So put your warm little hands where I can see them
Put those hands on my face
Now if you get any out of this
Then that's the thing that makes me sleep all day
And I'll explain my love for you
On another day

Madrugada is a Norwegian alternative rock band formed in the town of Stokmarknes in 1993. Its key members have included Sivert Høyem (vocals), Robert Burås (guitar), and Frode Jacobsen (bass). After Burås' death on 12 July 2007, Høyem and Jacobsen decided to finish recording what was to be their final album in the original lineup. On 21 January 2008, the band released Madrugada and announced that they would split after one last tour. They performed their final concert on 15 November 2008.
In June 2018, it was announced that Høyem, Jacobsen, and Lauvland Pettersen had reformed the band for a series of shows in 2019.
According to Anders Kaasen of Allmusic, the band was noted for "its bareboned blues-inspired alt-rock" at the end of the 1990s.

I really love this band, especially the singer's voice.
All their songs convey a dark but cosy atmosphere.
totally true
had to bump it. such a great comment.
because, yeah...i'd probably have been that girl when i was younger. his voice really does it for me.
I'm an arrow-straight male, but I have to say his voice does it for me, too. Helps that the background music (ironically called the "bed") has a steady pulse that I really like.

So how many girls have you lost to guys with better voices since you wrote that. You must have either a really squeaky voice or a bad choice of women, or maybe just treat them like shit if that's the only reason they'd run off :-D (hate those bouncy emotythings)
Um, I don't think the commenter meant it literally, but more like a funny comment (which i found hilarious) and was trying to say the lead singer has a sexy voice. But even if we really want to be literal here, I've definitely seen a sexy lead singer of band hit on and go home with someone else's date.
go catch them, well worth it.
Isabella Rossellini?
I know it's not her....but I like making calls like this.
always loved this song and this band.....sorry they are no more!
I thought it was Linda Rondstadt.

Such a dominant bass line is risky. Works like a hot damn in this song.
Also love the stripped down sonic space.
I Agree!! Completely!!
