The glow from the spaces of the blind
draws zebra stripes on your back.
In this apartment evening ended again,
Now I want time to move to next year already
I kiss you and sigh,
Why do I wake to the same situation again and again?
I convince myself that I don't want you
And I go away from your side
Listen, my beloved, Carpe diem is no good today
Listen, my beloved, Carpe diem, reason beats emotion in the face
This hurts, you get used to this
And what if I die all alone
Know, my beloved, that I'm still totally incomplete
These shared years pulled free
the shell to which I tightly held
And every shared memory is a victory
which I still don't want to redeem
The same turtle looked at us
It knows all the best
Your power tested me
Again it tries to lead me astray
Listen, my beloved, Carpe diem is no good today
Listen, my beloved, Carpe diem, reason beats emotion in the face
This hurts, you get used to this
And what if I die all alone
Know, my beloved, that I'm still totally incomplete
Listen, my beloved, Carpe diem is no good today
Listen, my beloved, Carpe diem, reason beats emotion in the face
This hurts, maybe you'll get used to this
And I still think of you in the mornings
Know, my beloved, that maybe someday I'll be the way I was before
Someday like before
