You promised and told me
A thousand things
What we do together lasts
Forever and the world
I don't know why it
Fell apart
We both remain, like everyone says
A small compromise
I wonder
Why are you still here, anyway
And why am I chasing you again?
You've got me, I've got you
Never really understood
I wonder why
I'm still hung up on you
Still on you
I'm still hung up on you
Once again you've got my head
Secretly flooded, deluged, overrun
So totally unrestrained
We've wasted thousands of moments
I don't even know yet
I can't with you, I can't without you
All I'm left with is what if
I wonder
Why are you still here, anyway
And why am I chasing you again?
You've got me, I've got you
Never really understood
I wonder why
I'm still hung up on you
Still on you
Still on you
Still on you
Still on you
Bridge
We switch on, we switch off
Like a little light
When my little hope and yours
Breaks every time
Have I ever told you
That I still miss you?
Because with clear little doubts
You still stick together
I wonder
Why are you still here, anyway
And why am I chasing you again?
You've got me, I've got you
Never really understood
I wonder why
I'm still hung up on you
Still on you
Still on you
Still on you
Still on you

SONG MEANING

“Ich Frag Mich” by Philipp Dittberner (featuring Marv) is a gentle indie-pop confession about the beautiful frustration of a relationship that just will not let go. The singer lists all the promises once made, then wonders why they both keep circling back even though the magic has cracked. He feels trapped between “I can’t live with you” and “I can’t live without you,” replaying memories like unfinished melodies in his head.

At its core the song asks two simple questions:

  • Why are you still here?
  • And why am I still chasing you?

Every verse tumbles through that emotional tug-of-war: hope lights up, hope flickers out, yet the bond remains. Listeners are invited into the push-and-pull of doubt, longing, and stubborn affection—a relatable soundtrack for anyone who has ever whispered, “I’m still hanging on to you.”
