After the dawn came the yellow of the day
At night we were bluer than the color itself
Now everything is monochrome, man is electric
Since you've been gone, I'm without power
It's true, in the end only scars will remain
The pains will be small and large with the seasons
Someday I too will climb onto their bier
You are and remain my big question mark
When you yelled at me to get lost
When I yelled at you, so anti "what's up?"
When you threw the phone, the phone then
In slow motion shattered against my temple
When blood from the crack in my forehead flowed onto the parquet
I left, then shot myself away in the evening
We loved each other in the rubble of the laptop
From the argument, after this, love follows screaming
Crying is followed by a feeling that makes you sad and addicted at the same time
The smell of you was my home
Your true lies, your different view
Your angle of view, sharp blue, that flashes at me
Your mole on the left shoulder blade
What you said to me, what I endured
What I said to you, what you forgave
The sleeping world of the night was our playground

When the evening light is exactly this color
Then there is a hole in the air where you stood
Do you hear me, where you are?
Stay right there, I'll be coming soon, so wait for me
When the evening light is exactly this color
Then there is a hole in the air where you stood
Do you hear me, where you are?
Stay right there, I'll be coming soon, so wait for me

In the cocoon on the nocturnal highway
At two hundred kilometers per hour, we are all alone, we are quite safe
Are the stripes of lights our only witnesses
Both thinking: "The whole world can kiss my ass"
Shared loneliness
Two egomaniacs, two insomniacs, one melodrama
You have a weakness
Your little helper, who helped and helped until you were no longer yourself
When we met, you were four years older
When we broke up, eight and the city a few degrees colder
Too much drawn, too much to somehow work
Food for the ego, anabolic for your mental quirks
You slipped away from me, the curse of the black AmEx
Death on installments, bought with your father's money
I wanted to hold you, but was too young, too dumb, too proud
In their own way, we both had our fill

When the evening light is exactly this color
Then there is a hole in the air where you stood
Do you hear me, where you are?
Stay right there, I'll be coming soon, so wait for me

When the evening light is exactly this color
Then there is a hole in the air where you stood
Do you hear me, where you are?
Stay right there, I'll be coming soon, so wait for me

When my phone rang with your number
I didn't answer at first, went under on the third time
Cursing then anyway, when someone was on the line
Who asked "Who are you?" A friend of yours?
He said, my number would have been the last one
That you dialed before the accident
When your father, whom I never met, said
Your car, bridge, rolled over several times
Split seconds, no skid marks to be found
Suicide, May tenth, funeral Munich

Then click, silence with ringing ears
That's how I froze in the inner north
How I yelled at myself, how everything contracts
How every person has been looking at me accusingly ever since
I've written this song here x times
X times discarded, never the right words
Even this time everything is not perfect enough
I'm driving through Shibuya in Tokyo with the last train
In the flickering neon light, in the window I see you
I'd like to be where my girl is
My ice-cold angel
How often I tried to suppress you at any cost
Your classic Tiffany silver necklace
Even today I sometimes see your silhouette in crowds
It's a deep cut where you were
But something is there, there is no nothing where you were
There is light where you were, a shimmer, a very small one
I can see it, no one else can
If you're at the big party, reserve us the best spot
Then we'll talk about your last sentence

If you're up there, then wait for me in the light
If you're down there, then wear your slit dress
The checks my mouth wrote, they weren't covered
I've searched, but there's no one who can replace you
And yes, it's true, we both weren't perfect
Too much fighting, too much drama, too much sex
You were my new continent, I discovered you
If I meet you again, then I won't leave anymore
Then I'll never leave again
I'll never leave again
Then I'll never leave again
Never leave again
