Die Nähe [English translation]

I hold your hand

And get you a little closer

And i dig deep into your shoulders

And hold your breath

I want the warmth of you poor -

Lay them on me and seek security.

But I already notice how a doubt arises,

forgive me for my insecurity

your heart can stand the closeness,

Or am I too close?

Is it now goodbye,

Or will you stay there?

I want to overshoot the boundaries -

And when i pass them,

You say "all is well",but I ask myself:

Do I want too much of you?

The thoughts carousel,

It turns much too fast,

I always arrive, where i already was.

Because I have not yet reached,

That fear gives way to trust

Will you stay there that long?

your heart can stand the closeness,

Or am I too close?

Is it now goodbye,

Or will you stay there?

Or do you stay there?
