well that happens to me from time to time,
i get away somewhere far and nice
and i stumble on someone that catches my eye
and then they stay in my head for years and years

never have i fallen i love with someone i met around my corner
no it had to be miles away
oh yes that is eh... tragic truly

how come you stole my heart in a matter of days, maybe hours
it had to be special i believe you are a little more than human
you have to be a little devil or something like that

i could see it in your eyes and that's what got me
oh you are so pretty, and you make me feel loved you do
and i loved you for a second too, even though i was paralysed
i was not able to move, maybe i should've

it's only rational to stay quiet now
it's no way around the barriers that separate us
i am weak now, and i can't get you here so you could embrace me
and your kind will keep us separate

i am weak now and i need to hold your hand
i need to know you are who i think you are
i need you to not let me down on your promise
the way i feel right now i might not be able
what kind of man am i after all

tommorow i think there will be war
and i am afraid i will die
and the next day the world will end so you will too
i don't believe we'll ever meet my dear

but for that little while we almost made fun of it
it feels like we knew all along

i didn't lose hope entirely
that's why i got off that bus
because i need to protect myself
so i can eventually get you
