Four o'clock at night
do you think I'm stupid?
I know exactly -
you're messing around with her.
I can't breathe anymore.
What am I still doing here?
I just want to drown
in the glass in front of me.
Like a tiger
I run back and forth.
My head explodes.
I don't want that anymore
I see the looks in your eyes
and I hear how you laugh.
And I ask myself
what you're doing with her.
Do you get on with her like you do with me?
Does she touch you like I do?
Does she go everywhere with you?
Do you do things with her the same way we did?
Just like we did.
Does she rock your world?1
Is she dark like me?
Does she look at you?
Or does she turn out the light?
Do you sometimes think of me
when she turns around?
Does she laugh just like me?
Like an animal
I run back and forth.
My head explodes.
I don't want that anymore.
In my delirium,
I run through the night.
And I wonder the whole time
what you're doing with her?
Do you get on with her like you do with me?
Does she touch you like I do?
Does she go everywhere with you?
Do you do things with her the same way we did?
When the first snow
Dissolves on my tongue
Then you're there again
and it hurts again.
And it doesn't matter
how much time goes by
because you're not there anymore,
not with me.
Do you get on with her like you do with me?
Does she touch you like I do?
Does she go everywhere with you?
Do you do things with her the same way we did?
Do you get on with her like you do with me?
Does she touch you like I do?
Does she go everywhere with you?
Do you do things with her
Do you fly with her
Just like we did?
And when you land
and you see my face
are you still sure
that she's the right one?
