girl on the run

she’s got a smile
shining ten feet wide
even when it’s pitch-black
she’s got the plans
it’s all in her hands
even though they’re years ahead
I’m down on my kees
’cause I think that she’s
the girl with a gun, and

she’s on the run, yeah
soon a thousand miles away
so I pray
I’ll pray

restraining, refraining

against all odds we have tried
to make our issues subside
when others moved to say
“it doesn’t fit” but hey
we knew this from the start
is that a reason to keep apart?
I think not

although most of our days
have been full of fun and sane
words about this life
as we know it, how we fought
the struggle growing up
hurting memories of love
please, wake up

shine a light

set it down, you will not hurt
anyone around but you and me
in the end, don’t dare to stray
don’t trust in what they say
how they genuinely feel
words can never tell

cast it away, you will not succeed
with good faith alone in this cold
cold world we call our own
and they’ll always do what they want
actions are plain truth

take a seat and fill this out
make your social environment proud
even though nothing’s gonna change

paying all those bills for
a bunch of gross deceivers and
getting nothing in return

I said countless times “don’t give in”
I’m sick of more explaining it
to all the idiots in this town

indiscrete

her hair is waving gracefully
and I get hooked up instantly
by her gaze in the summer light

she’s settling in, I’m moving out
sorry, but I can’t live with doubt
if I could, for you I would

been through it all
baby, it’s not easy
don’t slip away completely
clutching at your stakes

but then you go
although never leaving
you’re losing sense of feeling
chasing the fresh breeze

when the sun is shining (why aren’t you)

come and sit with me on the beach
we’re free to do what we please
can’t you see, it’s not hard to be here
roaming around, look what we’ve found
coming down, hitting the ground

you said I don’t bother talking frankly
and you can’t say that you miss me
can’t we deal with this like grown-ups do?
spinning wild, I’m perceiving
running far, to where are we leaving?

one of these days

(written by George Schröder & Franco Fichtner)

remember when she used to say
“I want life to go this way”
but never realized that
she was just floating around

and now that those times are gone
don’t dare to point out she was wrong
because it’s the one thing that’s
kept her from falling apart
