I'm looking for an excuse
Good enough to not be myself
Uneasy with the glass in my hand, lost at a party
And I see everyone else dressed better than me
In this place can't you see even the plants are fake
And I stared into space outside that window
Looking for something that really interests me
Take me for a ride, I need some fresh air
Wondering what it'd be like living a slightly different life
For you I'd want to live on a desert island
But in the end I'd get bored
A room with a view over my troubles
And really lift me up, at least you, at least you
So high I can't see down, can't see down
Who knows if you'll take me there
Or if all your 'buts' turn into 'never'
Making the hours feel short
Still, thinking things sort themselves out
And when you shake a hand meanwhile
You've already forgotten the name
But if it's you holding me
I haven't answered you again, but I haven't forgotten you
Like riding a bike when the asphalt's wet
I keep my balance, and if I think of you sometimes I fall
A room with a view over my troubles
And really lift me up, at least you, at least you
So high I can't see down, can't see down
Who knows if you'll take me there
Or if all your 'buts' turn into 'never'
Even though I don't know how to stay close
We scream the worst things at each other
But then we meet up at my place
A room with a view over my troubles
And really lift me up, at least you, at least you
So high I can't see down, can't see down
Who knows if you'll take me there
Or if all your 'buts' turn into 'never'
