You know when you want to leave but then you end up staying1
When you say a word so many times that it doesn’t make sense anymore
But now I don’t know anymore
How you drive with the headlights off
I get dragged down
The stairs by my hair
I never remember the dreams
In the morning, I’ve lost them already
It all goes back to usual
I go back to the way I was before
Before I knew you
Shy, mistaken
Not knowing what to do
Not knowing how to do it
I apologize if I want to save the world but in the end I can’t
If I try to look at myself nice and deep, but then here deep down I get lost
But I’ll stay out tonight
Like the flowers on the balconies
And the street through the red light
I don’t care what time it is
If I'm acting dumb or if I really am dumb
From tonight on, I don’t know you
I don’t remember you anymore
Not even you anymore
I’ll remove you at the last sip
I’ll stay out tonight
Like the flowers on the balconies
Drawing stars and hearts on the glass of the last train
You know the days when you don’t sleep and stay for a whole day
All those times that you imagined it and then it happens for real
But sometimes I can’t anymore
Daydreaming
I get dragged down
Like the water over the rooftops
I never remember the reason
In the morning I find myself above and below like before
With my head in the air and my self-esteem down in the basement
Shy, mistaken
Not knowing what to do
Not knowing how to do it
But I’ll stay out tonight
Like the flowers on the balconies
And the street through the red light
I don’t care what time it is
If I'm acting dumb or if I really am dumb
From tonight on, I don’t know you
I don’t remember you anymore
Not even you anymore
I’ll remove you at the last sip
I’ll stay out tonight
Like the flowers on the balconies
Drawing stars and hearts on the glass of the last train
I don’t remember you anymore
Not even you anymore
I’ll remove you at the last sip
I’ll stay out tonight
Like the flowers on the balconies
Drawing stars and hearts on the glass of the last train
