my teeth are growing in the wrong direction oh and i feel nothing for this place and I would say i‘m sorry if I cared enough but i don‘t so let‘s lose our tongues and finally learn to talk cause i can‘t remember what i‘ve done 30 seconds ago i want a green view here and in my mind

really need to get rid of all our stuff take our furniture and just give it away i don‘t need to burn things down we just have to move away cause the funeral horns, they are dragging me down i took your mothers car keys, i‘m not giving them back shall we drive eastwards and never look behind? until it smells like instant coffee and fifties floors oh how i really wish you had met her oh how i wish she wasn‘t dead i wanna hold your hand i wanna keep you tight i wanna hold your hand i wanna keep you tight if you wanna go, if you wanna stay i‘ll be by your side

i have loved you in paris, where we slept in the metro station cause we were too broke for a hotel room i loved you in rotterdam, where we spent the night at the beach cause we spent all our money for gas and i have loved you in warsaw, where we drank our coffee at plan b every morning of every day if we ever will find, if we ever will find a home broke and happy, old with a porch if we ever will find, if we ever will find a home broke and happy, old with a porch you make me a better person, cause you are the best part of me and yes i stole this line from a super hero movie i still love you here in cologne but i hate this fucking city cause there are no secret spots for ourselves if we ever will find, if we ever will find home broke and happy, old with a porch if we ever will find, if we ever will find home broke and happy, old with a porch

now i can see why they always envied us and how we are nothing like that and i‘m not sure if they ever got the joke about the story of the sheep at the lake oh my my oh my my my we were so goddamn high and i‘m not sure if i‘m okay, are you? cause i‘m back to my meds again again are you back to boys again? Or girls? I don‘t know cause i spent the last 2 ½ days awake chasing, racing to replace our home i don‘t miss you at all lovers of today i just miss who we were lovers of today

i was never afraid when you drank and drove with no lights on through the scariest woods i trusted you with my life you and your suicidal tendencies you know i got really sick sometimes i wonder what would have happened if i had stayed cause it‘s killing me slowly day by day i think you never forgave me for moving away i think i never forgave you for leaving me behind you and your sister became my family became my family we could spend hours on a parking spot looking at the sky it‘s been all about gas station love songs and cigarettes at the sea. corn fields, cold feet, warm car seats

when i spread my arms far away from my body i can float under water while i‘m touching the surface i can see you both move alike, you both move alike there is water in my eyes, blinding my sight i don‘t see where i‘m heading so i start to wonder where the stream would take me if i just let go the second i dive under it i can hear you both sound alike both sound alike and i would kill for you to have the life you shall have cause i‘m in love with the way your face looks in the car seat right next to me the sirens will be gone, my heart is still full of kitsch and it is all beacuse of you and the sad songs nothing i like more than to take long walks with you and i can see nothing as clear as our future
