Description
Time seemed to pretend to be eternity - frozen, closing its eyes and falling silent somewhere between a breath and a kiss. Everything is too clear to speak of and too fragile to name. Two halves that, by all rules, cannot coincide, pretend not to know this - and that is precisely where their magic lies.
Every movement is like a spotlight in the dark: nothing superfluous, only breath and warmth, as if the world has shrunk into a narrow tunnel where there is no past and no audience. Only ‘now’ and a little heat that needs no explanation.
Love with closed eyes is not blindness, but rather a way to survive without destroying the miracle with unnecessary knowledge. After all, sometimes it is better not to know who is in front of you if you feel that everything has already happened.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Time is standing still, and I don't wanna leave your lips
Tracing my body with your fingertips
I know what you're feeling, and I know you wanna say it (yeah, say it)
I do too, but we gotta be patient (gotta be patient)
'Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn't work, yeah, the history is proof
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
You know by now, we've seen it all
Said, "Oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don't know"
The beds we've been in
The names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh, ain't nobody perfect, but it's all good
The past can't hurt us if we don't look
Let's let it go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
Oh, oh, oh
I got tunnel vision every second that you're with me
No, I don't care what anybody says, just kiss me
'Cause you look like trouble, but it could be good
I've been the same kind of misunderstood
Whatever you've done, trust, it ain't nothing new
You know by now, we've seen it all
Said, "Oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don't know"
The beds we've been in
The names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh, ain't nobody perfect, but it's all good
The past can't hurt us if we don't look
Let's let it go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
(Oh, oh, with our eyes closed)
'Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn't work, yeah, the history is proof
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
You know by now, we've seen it all
Said, "Oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don't know"
The beds we've been in
The names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh, ain't nobody perfect, but it's all good
The past can't hurt us if we don't look
Let's let it go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
Oh, with our eyes closed
