At the end of the street lay your house
_____
When your parents were asleep, you snuck out
_____
The summer was young and the night was clear
_____
And we kissed in the gateway
_____
With you I've experienced so much for the first time
_____
And today I don't even know how you're doing
_____
You were my first song
_____
It's what was left of you
_____
A song nobody ever forgets
_____
I want you to know, wherever you are
_____
It stays what it is forever
_____
We were in a daze for four summers
_____
And I wrote a song with your name
_____
You had big plans, wanted to move on
_____
With a suitcase full of hope you went to Berlin
_____
On your mattress we cried day and night
_____
Your world was too big for me and mine too small for you
_____
It's what was left of you
_____
A song nobody ever forgets
_____
I want you to know, wherever you are
_____
It stays what it is forever
_____
And sometimes I hear the melody again so clear
_____
As if it all just happened yesterday
_____
You were my first song
_____
It's what was left of you
_____
A song nobody ever forgets
_____
I want you to know, wherever you are
_____
It stays what it is forever
