I don't stop watching you
Sometimes still open-mouthed
As if it would never end
You want to hide your flaws from me
While I like them all
But you don't want to hear it
And I watch you while you dream
And I have to stay outside
And I can only guess
After so many years and a day
When the sea seems calm
With that foreign-sounding name
From someone who's always been alone
And for a while doesn't have to anymore
And I know those eyes
I've often seen them naked
But the end was never in sight
And you don't give me my heart back
After so many years and a day
When the wind seems still
It's always you who shows up
With that foreign-sounding name
Someone who can stay alone
But hasn't had to for a while
It must mean something for sure
And you've saved me so many times
From some kind of other death
By going straight for the truth
And you give me another day
Where everything seems still
But everything transforms
And you leave your scent around
Like telling me 'I'm here'
Like telling me 'I'll always be here'
It must mean something for sure
