so we say you’re looking older
no, you don’t lose your light
so they think you’re being colder
no, it’s just your daily work
so you feel you’re getting bolder
no, I think you’re still the same
wouldn’t it be nice of me to wake you up at dawn
help you out of bed and get you gone
wouldn’t it be nice of me to sing another song
though it sounds quite wrong
wouldn’t it be nice to get rid of these void moments
we can’t share
wouldn’t it be nice, dadadadadadada
far behind, ahead the ones we let pass by
’cause we don’t want new aims to find
we’ll get there right on time
far behind, no, not the end of the line
it’s not dark, let the light shine
on the dreams on your mind
far behind, though never ceasing to amaze
when others say we are just crazed
we’ll give them a lot to think about
don’t say those words
when you don’t know what they mean
and don’t play along
if you know what I mean
writing your name down on a sheet
thinking it’s something I would keep
to remind me of you
writing a song for you so sweet
thinking it’s something you would keep
to remind you of me
hey, I don’t want you to go
away, oh, please just
stay with me for another
day, and say we don’t play a
game, mhh, let tomorrow be the same
“I’m afraid to let you down”
“now or in your wedding gown”
tilting my head, looking away
and then I got on
reciting what I’ve done
“you should know the truth”
mhhhhh, mhhhh
“I have words to share with you”
“no matter what you do”
“I like who you are”
“so dump those thoughts” you said
with a light voice, quite frank
“I don’t expect a thing from you”
mhhhhh, mhhhh
I must say I enjoy our time together
you are almost too sweet to be true
I never said ‘thank you’ for your efforts
to keep me in this sort of divine mood
they say this is how life goes by
nevermind how hard we’ve tried
it will surprise you (surprise me)
surprise you (surprise me)
you always say exactly what you want
and you do seem to know what that is
you don’t care for playing by the rules
which is fine by me as long as it’s fun
it is greedy / really needy / and so easy / to fall
feeling happy / and sadly / untrustworthy / today
they were crying / hardly trying / to reach / out their hands
it’s my beautiful addiction
not so beautiful affliction
and it’s a beautiful hello
she says “shut up”
“I know that life sucks”
“I’ve had it worse than you”
“grow up” she laughs
“get out” and hugs me
“make some news so you can”
“come back and tell me”
“all about it”
“I can’t wait to see you smile”
she turns around
and shuts the door
there’s still a lot to do
some day, she swears
her kids will break her
never seeing what they’ve done
and though she
has these moments
she knows that all is gonna be just fine
