There's no one like you in the world
looking at me with the same sad eyes
when it is sunny outside.
It's a weird type of melancholy that,
that reminds me that every single thing is mine
but only in halves.
 
You bid me farewell with a sign and I don't know if
I'll see you again tomorrow or never again.
Looking back is a habit.
You're never the audience of your own film.
 
You don't even say a word to me.
I watch your shadow grow smaller
until it disappears.
 
And I wish I pursued you.
I know well you want to escape
but you cannot hide
like an embrace on the stairs,
one of yours, you know.
 
Even now that you're there alone,
what do you have for smiling?
I swear it, I'm not joking.
Do you remember when I told you, 'I've only had you'?
When it kills us, time flies by.
We both know it, it's another story.
 
The imperfections of your quirks
still take me away
and we only needed two bubbles
to fuck with nostalgia.
 
We're two lost kids
that recognised each other at first glance.
Hours, seconds and minutes
go by mutely when you are waiting.
 
And now I know where you are,
if only I knew where I am.
I'd ask how you are
if only I knew how to tell you goodbye.
And you throw a wish to a fountain
and watch it oxidise.
 
And I wish I pursued you.
I know well you want to escape
but you cannot hide
like an embrace on the stairs,
one of yours, you know.
 
Even now that you're there alone,
what do you have for smiling?
I swear it, I'm not joking.
Do you remember when I told you, 'I've only had you'?
When it kills us, time flies by.
We both know it, it's another story.
 
And to realise in a moment that it's night already and we're outside.
We wander aimlessly under the eyes of the lampposts.
As long as the wind takes us away, stay put.
The street looks like a desert.
 
And I wish I pursued you.
I know well you want to escape
but you cannot hide
like an embrace on the stairs,
one of yours, you know.
 
Even now that we're here alone,
what do you have for smiling?
I swear it, I'm not joking.
Do you remember when I told you, 'I've only had you'?
(When it kills us, time flies by...)
(We both know it, it's another story...)
 
When it kills us, time flies by.
We both know it, it's another story.
