[Verse 1: Alexa Feser]
Why are you in such a hurry?
Tell me what's waiting for you
Taking every half-red traffic light
Push the pedal till it breaks
Taking corners like Lauda did in the ring in '76
Wherever you're goin' you don't have to go
Wouldn't you rather be
The way you used to be
[Bridge: Alexa Feser]
Your tapes in the boombox
And in the cooler wine
And the boys were on vacation
In the summer of 2009
[Chorus: Alexa Feser]
We were hi-hi-hi-hi-high
Like the kites over Tempelhofer Field
We were free-ee-ee-ee
Like the kites over Tempelhofer Field
And the world set its clock not by the sun
But according to us
We were hi-hi-hi-hi-high
Like the kites over Tempelhofer Field
[Verse 2: Disarstar]
Hey, with the years worries don't become less
Rather tend to become more
We say we stay true to ourselves, yeah
But change a lot
Sure, you're there for your kids
And spontaneity is a thing of the past
No more tree house, no more gut feeling
We're out in the world, we're seeing other people's faces
Yes, we were just here
Always two, never alone, no, for us there was only the we
That still gives me good thoughts, yo
Here where dreams land in planes
[Bridge: Alexa Feser]
Your tapes in the boombox
And in the cooler wine
And the boys were on vacation
In the summer of 2009
[Chorus: Alexa Feser]
We were hi-hi-hi-hi-high
Like the kites over Tempelhofer Field
We were free-ee-ee-ee
Like the kites over Tempelhofer Field
And the world set its clock not by the sun
But according to us
We were hi-hi-hi-hi-high
Like the kites over Tempelhofer Field
