Description
Sometimes you meet people who laugh at other people's jokes because they don't know how else to fill the silence. They smile, but their eyes are switched off, like a lamp without a bulb. And suddenly it becomes quiet around them, as if someone has turned down the volume of the world.
And then another person appears - just as broken, but with warm hands and a strange stubbornness to believe that two lonely souls can build a home together. It may not be perfect, but it has a fire where you can finally warm yourself.
This is a song about how love is sometimes not fireworks, but simply a way to pull each other out of the darkness. Without pathos, without promises. Just ‘let me hug you until it gets easier.’
Lyrics and translation
Original
You laugh at all the jokes
Even the ones you know
Funny I'm doing that, too
I love the crowded room
The one string that's out of tune
Trust me, I feel like I do
Let me love the lonely out of you
Let me love the pain you're going through
I think I've saved myself by saving you
Let me love the lonely out of you
Lighthouse without the lights
You smile without your eyes
I know, coz I do that too
Your own worst enemy
You think that no one sees
I do, coz I'm like that too
Let me love the lonely out of you
Let me love the pain you're going through
I think I've saved myself by saving you
Let me love the lonely out of you
We can light a fire to moments
Coz what is much to cold to see the love?
Let me love the lonely out of you
Let me love the pain you're going through
I think I've saved myself by saving you
Let me love the lonely out of you
Let me love the lonely out of you
Let me love the pain you're going through
I think I've saved myself by saving you
Let me love the lonely out of you
