[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
