When I leave, I won't look ahead
I take a step, I trip over the curb
I would never swear to anything
Or by anything
But I swear by your name
Only you, and the way you are
A threat is not a threat
If it's done with a toy shotgun
That's why you'll find me again here
Collecting the last echoes
And I'm hanging on
You're watching me hanging on
Even when a new day dawns
The dependency stays
When I finally leave
I'm not really even leaving
I fall in the hallway
Only novices do that
That's what I am
Half of what you are
Who will determine what belongs to whom
Only you and the way you enter my every thought
I'm growing old up in the attic
When I'm screaming in distress
You're not turning your boat to this direction
And I'm hang-hanging on
You're watching when I'm hang-hanging on
Even when a new day dawns
The dependency stays
If there's a little bit of a tendency
To crash every single day
A promise won't bring any relief
Nobody can live like this
I have a little bit of a tendency
To crash every single day
A promise won't bring any relief
But I think that this is how I'm going to live
I'm hang-hanging on, always hanging on
Even when a new day dawns
The dependency stays
