The car was driven by a man
He said: "Let's walk!"
I knew what he wanted to say:
"And if you want me, you have to go for it!"
The crime scene didn't show
What was about to happen there tonight
"Don't be scared, the light stays off
So that nobody can see us
Once we're in the backyard of the big city
The two of us are alone"
I scratched you and I pushed you away
And yet I still wanted to be with you
The two of us are gilded as we take a look at each other
The night is so dark
So far, it hasn't been painful
It's magic
Gilded, but not motionless
Your heart is making too much noise
But now you're taking my breath away
I'm offering you my skin
Our yearning was immense during our gold rush
We kept finding more
We didn't wait for us to come to our senses
I wanted you so much
But you came too close to me
There is no light that sets me free
I'm not scared, don't you tell on me
We've gone much too far
Into a small corner1 with a view of the wide world
Nobody is going to see us there
I resisted and I pushed you away
And yet I still have never wanted to leave you
The two of us are gilded as we take a look at each other
The night is so dark
So far, it hasn't been painful
It's magic
Gilded, but not motionless
Your heart is making too much noise
But now you're taking my breath away
I'm offering you my skin
Once we're in the backyard of the big city
The two of us are alone
I resisted and I pushed you away
And yet I still didn't want to ever leave
