Description

Love that always seems to be half a step behind. It promises eternity, then shatters into two pieces. Here there is tenderness in old age and eternal fights for the sake of a feeling that is still considered ‘right’. A little chaos, a little self-irony - and the heart is in repair again. But without this ineffective love, life would be too straightforward.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Love me till the end of time

Pick apart my peace of mind

Feels like running overtime

Won't someone come and change my mind

Tell me what your secrets are

I'll tell you mine and we'll get far

Feels like running overtime

Won't someone come and change my mind

My inefficient love

Again

Breaks my heart

In two pieces

My inefficient love

Some friend

Calls my name and then leaves in the end

My inefficient love

Love me till I'm old and white

Take my blood and make it right

A millions years, a million fights

But love is nearly always right

Paradise is here tonight

Would someone come and make it mine

God is tripping up my life

So who am I to start a fight?

My inefficient love

Again

Breaks my heart

In two pieces

My inefficient love

Some friend

Calls my name and then leaves in the end

My inefficient love

English translation

Love me till the end of time

Pick apart my peace of mind

Feels like running overtime

Won't someone come and change my mind

Tell me what your secrets are

I'll tell you mine and we'll get far

Feels like running overtime

Won't someone come and change my mind

My inefficient love

Again

Breaks my heart

In two pieces

My inefficient love

Some friend

Calls my name and then leaves in the end

My inefficient love

Love me till I'm old and white

Take my blood and make it right

A millions years, a million fights

But love is nearly always right

Paradise is here tonight

Would someone come and make it mine

God is tripping up my life

So who am I to start a fight?

My inefficient love

Again

Breaks my heart

In two pieces

My inefficient love

Some friend

Calls my name and then leaves in the end

My inefficient love
