Chorus 1

You're amazing

Your heart of pure gold

A hundred thousand volts of tension

And everything shines when you walk into the room

And when you leave, I notice right away that something is missing

Not a nine, you're a ten

And not just one among thousands

Verse 1

When I felt nothing, except that it was scratching at the surface

You came along so effortlessly and you manage

To make my mask stop fitting, because my smile is laughing again

How did you do that?

I never believed in it, in butterflies in the stomach

And I always kept my heart safely tucked away too

And if it got interesting and something came knocking, I would switch it off

Spent so long building walls, but I'm giving up

For you I'm giving them up

I never asked for it, you just did it

You fixed me with a single sentence

Chorus 2

You're amazing

Your heart of pure gold

A hundred thousand volts of tension

And everything shines when you walk into the room

And when you leave, I notice right away that something is missing

Not a nine, you're a ten

And not just one among thousands

Verse 2

When everything around me is quiet, you break the silence with a look

Between 'stay' and 'do not go yet'

The way you do it is crazy, when everything screams and you say nothing

How impressive that is

Everything blurs

We're taking off, do you hear the wind?

We're flying along

I look at your face, I see myself reflected there

I can be the way I am

The feeling makes me blind

I love how it sounds, that we simply are

So beautiful, that we are

Chorus 3

You're amazing

Your heart of pure gold

A hundred thousand volts of tension

And everything shines when you walk into the room

And when you leave, I notice right away that something is missing

Not a nine, you're a ten

And not just one among thousands

Chorus 4

You're amazing

Your heart of pure gold

A hundred thousand volts of tension

And everything shines when you walk into the room

And when you leave, I notice right away that something is missing

Not a nine, you're a ten

And not just one among thousands

Kribbeln im Bauch — butterflies in the stomach

Kribbeln im Bauch literally translates to "tingling in the stomach," but it's a common German idiom for having "butterflies in the stomach."

This phrase beautifully captures the feeling of excitement and nervousness, especially in the context of new love. The singer admits he never believed in this feeling, making it a central theme of his newfound emotional awakening.

ENKAY spends most of this song admitting he was the problem. He had a whole system for not falling for anyone: "Und mein Herz hab' ich auch immer sicher verstaut" (and I always kept my heart safely tucked away), and the moment something started to feel interesting, "dann schalt' ich es aus" (then I switch it off). That is a lot of engineering to avoid a crush. Then someone walks in, the system stops working, and he sounds almost relieved to lose: "So lang damit verbracht, Mauern zu bauen, doch ich geb' auf" (spent so long building walls, but I'm giving up).

The chorus is where the German gets fun, because it refuses to be serious. "Keine neun, du bist 'ne zehn" (not a nine, you're a ten) is the kind of line you would text someone at midnight, and "Spannung hunderttausend Volt" (a hundred thousand volts of tension) is a compliment borrowed from an electrical warning label. The best line is the quietest one: "Hast mich repariert mit 'nem einzigen Satz" (you fixed me with a single sentence). He never tells us what the sentence was.
