Description
When night should have long since fallen asleep, and your eyes stubbornly cling to your tired eyelids, suddenly the strange magic of screen flirting appears. A few phrases about your mother, brother and favourite colour - and suddenly the usual eight o'clock evening turns into a fragile romantic marathon until dawn.
It's funny, of course, that the heart manages to give away its feelings faster than the phone runs out of battery. But is there any logic in wanting to know someone else's dreams and hoping that your silhouette flashed by? Love through a screen sounds ridiculous - and that's exactly why it's so true.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I usually don't stay up too late
Washed up and in bed by eight
But tonight had its own set of plans
The fight to stay awake has entered my mind
Small talk with bags on my eyes
Your roommates, I can't understand
Tell me 'bout your mother, do you have a brother?
You smile, say yes
What's your favorite color? Falling for each other
And we ain't even met
I've only known your name for a week
But now I know your insecurities
And in a month, you'll be telling me you love me through a screen
The night has slowly reached the end of its life
Close my eyes and tell you goodnight
I don't mind
'Cause tomorrow I'll be ringing, ask what you were dreaming
Hoping it was me
Tell me, what's your secret?
Do you believe in love 'cause it seems
I've only known your name for a week
And now I know that I'm falling for you
Tell me, how can that be through a screen
'Cause tomorrow, I'll be ringing, ask what you were dreaming
Hoping it was me
Tell me, what's your secret?
Do you believe in love 'cause it seems
I've only known your name for a week
And now I know that I'm falling for you
Tell me, how can that be?
How can that be?
Tell me, how can it be through a screen?
Who knows where this leads
I can't make you any guarantees
All I can say
Is I'll be there when you decide to call my name
