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
_____
By now we've become
_____
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
