“good night” you said
“I don’t want to ellaborate”
of course, you never do
“sleep well” I added
thinking I will regret it
of course, I always do
when you’re feeling sad
don’t blame me like that
of course, you still do
now I’m feeling down
no tolerance, no frown
of course, why should you
flashbacks of memories
don’t leave, please
of course, you need to
they are all cruel
so don’t be fooled
of course, just my view
“it’s delicate”
someone adds
do you know what you want?
they do the talking
we won’t
and I feel a strange comfort
quite calm
we all do what we can
but never enough, you guess
I can’t go and
you don’t want me to
is that already all?
taking me home
although not mine
this place ain’t so bad
drowning, mhhh
on the floor of truth
want some more or shall I keep it?
you finally fell asleep again
I can’t follow you there yet
cause listening to you breathing
is all that is left of you
with the song you sang still in my ears
and your last words on my mind
I can’t put the phone down
cause then I’d send you away
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
