von JEREMIAS

You come so close to me, you see the scars
That I hide so well every day
We snort some powder together
And then spend the next day in bed
My head on your chest, I hear you breathing
Even though it’s impossible, it feels perfect
I’ve shared my name with so many people
And sometimes I’m afraid it’s already gone

Everything blooms and withers, everything dies and lives
Will you turn around when you leave?

I never had the words to explain this to you
Your skin was cold, my hair was heavy
And you hugged me, now never let me go
Because when I hear you breathe, it sounds like the sea
And I miss the sea (Mhh-mhh, there)


I lost my patience so early
I think sometimes I’d like to have it back
And if I don’t say anything anymore, don’t be mad at me
My silence is never about you
(It’s never about you)
And people love to talk and compare
You ask me, “Can I still handle this, for how long?”
And I, I ask myself quietly
What will your skin feel like in seventy years?

Everything blooms and withers, everything dies and lives
Will you turn around when I leave?

I never had the words to explain this to you
Your skin was cold, my hair was heavy
And you hugged me, now never let me go
Because when I hear you breathe, it sounds like the sea
I never had the words to explain this to you
Your skin was cold, my hair was heavy
And you hugged me, now never let me go
Because when I hear you breathe, it sounds like the sea
And I miss the sea

I lay my head on your chest and hear the sea
I lay my head on your chest and hear the sea
