The film begins with "I'm looking for true love"
And I've paid for it with my peace since I was fifteen
Scars on my heart since the death of my Munich girl
Invisible shield around my neck for my future
ex-girlfriends: "Fine yourselves someone sensible instead!"
Repeat offenders repeat mistakes as a rule
New love begins when the old love stops hurting
In a February that was awful, like every year,
The bar window threw warm gold against the rainy day
Where we were talking inside
Until I forgot that I had already fucked up too many times
But the chair that I sit on is not just a chair this time
But rather the chair next to Günther Jauch: the chair
Of the guy who made a million¹
Get the DeLorean, let's back up
We only ever meant each other when we said "happiness"
The best things come in the smallest amounts
We only ever meant each other when we said "happiness"
Back home, at the harbor, waiting for our ship
We only ever meant each other when we said "happiness"
When everything's destroyed, I'll stay here, I'll stay with you, you with me
When nothing else is left, the We remains.
We don't believe in much, just that "love lasts forever"
Like in films, where the good guys never miss a shot
While the world separates, as we're used to
You make us pancakes in the morning in my old shirt
We listen to my records, almost all the singers dead
I only wear old band shirts, Stones, Beatles and Ramones
We lie in front of the laptop, starting series together
Being with you for a lifetime suddenly sounds very bearable
So many friends are in love with being in love
They talk about true love, but that's not enough for us
They want as many women as possible
But every morning I see anew how beautiful you are
Even in the confines of this stuffy little town
We play our kissing scenes on enormous screens
Wherever we are, bars mark the edge of the sceen
We continued when everything on the set stood still
The camera was already out, we never read the script
It's likely nobody but us will understand our new ending
We get in the car, laughing that we ran away
They should take their Hollywood down behind us
Get the DeLorean, let's back up
We only ever meant each other when we said "happiness"
The best things come in the smallest amounts
We only ever meant each other when we said "happiness"
Back home, at the harbor, waiting for our ship
We only ever meant each other, when we said "happiness"
When everything's destroyed, I'll stay here, I'll stay with you, you with me
When nothing else is left, the We remains.
We only ever meant each other, when we said "happiness" (3x)
When everything's destroyed, I'll stay here, I'll stay with you, you with me
When nothing else is left, the We remains.
