The seconds that slip away
The looks that fall silent
And me, clumsy
A little uncomfortable
I observe the world
And not knowing what to do
I light up a cigarette
And open a beer
And I hear the bombs
From the other end of the Earth
And me in this world
What can I possibly do?

I'm going to make the words bleed
And send myself into the air
Move away from ideals
And from the stratosphere
I only want to love
And contemplate the sky
To see it ignite
When we say "I love you"

The steps that slip away
And the passersby fall silent
And me, clumsy
A little uncomfortable
I observe the world
And not knowing what to do
I count the hours
And cling to smiles
But I'm afraid
People no longer know how to laugh
And us in this world
We still need to laugh

I'm going to make the words bleed
And send myself into the air
Move away from ideals
And from the stratosphere
I only want to love
And contemplate the sky
To see it ignite
When we say "I love you"

I'm going to make the words bleed
And send myself into the air
Move away from ideals
And from the stratosphere
I only want to love
And contemplate the sky
To see it ignite
When we say "I love you"
