Denk an dich [English translation]

[Hook: Kat Frankie]

I'm on my way, on my way

Wide awake because the city never sleeps

Around me everything's loud, everyone's talking

But I think of you, think of you

Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap

Ba-dap, ba-dap, think of you

Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap

Wherever you may be right now

[Part 1: Casper]

Between coffee cups and sleeping pills

Endless road surfaces and service station toilets

Faded Sanifair shreds in my wallet1

Stress and hectic rush, last-minute check-in at the boarding gate, yeah

No matter what I do, I think of you

What's on your mind, how you're doing, how you sleep, where you are

Crap, only bad signal

Promise, I'll change the shitty contract soon2

With O2 this was the last time3

I see the tinsel of lights pass through the glass of the window

The bitter medicine of the minibar in front of the bed in the suite

Lonely together, across distances still so close

I'm miles away and yet there

[Hook: Kat Frankie]

I'm on my way, on my way

Wide awake because the city never sleeps

Around me everything's loud, everyone's talking

But I think of you, think of you

Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap

Ba-dap, ba-dap, think of you

Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap

Wherever you may be right now

[Part 2: Marteria]

The lift takes me up to the 61

Checked into this glass palace, where only the rich eat

Blue window panes mirror this shark tank

Air planes in my stomach,4 but in my head it's 9/11

A red dress sits down next to me, I'm somewhere else

In my thoughts I'm with the woman who has Rammstein posters on her wall

If I can't share all this here with you

I'll send you bad souvenirs and photos of a police patrol car

I've got no signal here, the floor is barely visible

Wait until the dust settles, stand in front of ten thousand tomorrow

Go on the balcony, inhale smoke until the eyes water

When I think of you, I'm excited, I'm on my way

[Hook: Kat Frankie]

I'm on my way, on my way

Wide awake because the city never sleeps

Around me everything's loud, everyone's talking

But I think of you, think of you

Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap

Ba-dap, ba-dap, think of you

Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap

Wherever you may be right now

1. Sanifair is a company that operates restrooms at motorway service stations. They charge you to use them and afterwards give you a voucher that you can redeem in a service station shop - but most people never do and just keep the vouchers in their wallets until they fade.2. literally: dirt contract3. O2 is a network provider notorious for having spotty coverage4. Like having butterflies in your stomach because you're in love, but more intense with planes instead of butterflies - title of a Herbert Grönemeyer song
