Run past the house where you live
Stay in the driveway for a bit
Tear off another leaf from the hedge that your father takes such good care of
He thought I didn't deserve you
He hated me and I hated him
In hindsight, I can understand his fear that you would follow me to Berlin

Should I ring the bell or not?
I still remember exactly how it smells inside
That crappy potpourri
Your mom and her cheap perfume
And I'm typing another message to you, but I don't send it
Do you think about me a lot or not at all?

When I see you, I still get nervous
You run through my head at two hundred miles an hour, my head is pounding
And in another life, we might have been
Not millionaires, but enough to get by
When I see you, I still get nervous
A bit of euphoria, but also a bit bittersweet
And in another life, we might not have
Failed so much and there would be nothing to forgive

From the bus stop in front of the soccer field, you can see your window well
And I wonder, is it still the spot where you often hang out with your girls
They thought I didn't deserve you
They hated me and I hated them
I saw them at one of my shows, it's crazy how life plays out and I wonder
Does your brother still work night shifts
Is he still going at a hundred and eighty
About what you wear to parties
When you go bar hopping at night

I'm typing another message to you, but I don't send it
Do you think about me a lot or not at all?

When I see you, I still get nervous
You run through my head at two hundred miles an hour, my head is pounding
And in another life, we might have been
Not millionaires, but enough to get by
When I see you, I still get nervous
A bit of euphoria, but also a bit bittersweet
And in another life, we might not have
Failed so much and there would be nothing to forgive
