lyrics

It seems to me like yesterday, like yesterday so far away.
No words just calls to empty space, to yesterday where wishes fade.
To crowded walls, to dusty floors, to blank, nude ceilings.
I lack a lot but what I’m not lacking are feelings.

Devote a lot of hopes on you, my hope so vain I noted late,
Too late to stay in longing dreams for weeks, for years when I was 23.

It seems to me like yesterday, like yesterday the best of days,
Like lonely walks on quiet nights, like closing doors on passing trains.
I dove too deep in shallow sea, chased flowers overgrown,
How many times can your heart be broken? When will I be finally free?

I just couldn’t get it right,
But to you everything seems so clear.
No matter how many times I flip your coin
It won’t pick the side I’ll choose.

I miss the places we went to, I miss the state I fell into,
Mistook that train away from you and now I miss just choices.
You left me none to choose, at least you left me word.
Now that’s the way it is.
And that was all she wrote.

So to you everything seems so clear.
Despite your glances that still pierce me and the times I led you home.
Despite the kisses that we shared and the tears I granted you.
Despite the times that you came back – No, I am not in love with you.
And yes, I still carry your coin, I am still in love with you.
But no matter what I’ll do
It will never pick the side I chose.

"Where were you when the Thunder came, the everlasting storm? And when they disappeared again, this nothingness was born.
Your days are dark, your nights are bright – but mine they are both grey."
And so a man walks down the road, with nothing on his mind.
"So who are you?" – and he replies: "I told you, I don't know. I've lost my voice, I've dropped my words, the melody of rain." ... more
