Every day we get up, keep running
We're so scared of failing
We have to optimize and expand ourselves
Otherwise we'll get left behind
Between deadlines and appointments
We seem to lose ourselves
We're longing for security
And for a bit of luck
And all I want right now is to see you again
But you apparently have too much stress
But do you still remember when none of this mattered?
When we rode our bikes home
And the only thing that mattered
And when I don't know what to do
Out of the classroom and into freedom
Six weeks were more than enough time
We never wanted to grow up
And the summer was orange
We built our own metropolis
Between sand pit, front door and outdoor pool
And beyond that lay the big, unknown world
Like the grown-ups used to be
Nothing's left to chance
Everything goes according to plan
But do you still remember when none of this mattered?
When we rode our bikes home
And the only thing that mattered
And when I don't know what to do
Do you remember when none of this mattered?
When we rode our bikes home
Stress was still a foreign word to us
Do you remember when none of this mattered?
When we rode our bikes home
And the only thing that mattered
And when I don't know what to do
