Description
Sometimes life resembles a pool of cold water - you stand at the edge, shivering, pondering the meaning of existence, while someone on the other side shouts, ‘What are you standing there for? Jump in!’ Here, too, there is the fear of drowning in feelings, the fear of messing up, of being unworthy, but... a warm voice calls out: ‘Come on, I'm here.’ And at that moment, even the most hardened philosophers suddenly make up their minds.
It all sounds like an internal dialogue between caution and the very recklessness that makes life alive. A little about sadness, a little about hope - and about the fact that there is no such thing as the perfect moment. It's always at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with the wrong people. But if your heart is already burning, why wait for the coals to cool?
Lyrics and translation
Original
Met the girl of my dreams at the lowest point of my life.
I was scared to give her my heart, I thought I didn't deserve her love.
But she said, "Baby, what you waiting for? You'll never be free till you learn to let go.
I don't know what you're searching for, but running away is not moving on. " So now
I know there's never.
Never a right place and never a right time if it ain't right now.
You're testing my patience by making me wait until the flame's died down.
Life is a journey, are you ready for the ride? I really gotta let you know.
Scared to drown, baby, but I'm ready to dive in. Just give me a sign, yes.
I need all your love, your love.
Scared to drown, baby, but I'm ready to dive in. Just give me a sign, yes.
I need all your love, your love.
What about the time that I've wasted making memories I've forgotten?
All of the hearts that I've broken making love I regret in the morning.
What am I waiting for? I'll never be free till I learn to let go.
I don't know what I'm searching for, but running away is not moving on.
So now I know there's never.
Never a right place and never a right time if it ain't right now.
You're testing my patience by making me wait until the flame's died down.
Life is a journey, are you ready for the ride?
I really gotta let you know. Scared to drown, baby, but I'm ready to dive in.
Just give me a sign, yes.
I need all your love, your love. Scared to drown, baby, but I'm ready to dive in.
Just give me a sign, yes. I need all your love, your love.
