After all these years
_____
I don't stop watching you
_____
Sometimes still open-mouthed
_____
As if it would never end
_____
You want to hide your flaws from me
_____
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
_____
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
_____
And you always have been
_____
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'
_____
Made us meet again
_____
It must mean something for sure
