Description
There are feelings that live in the exhalation - quiet, almost transparent, like steam on glass. This is exactly what it is: tenderness on the verge of exhaustion, closeness that already hurts a little. When everything is still warm, but somewhere inside, the coldness of farewell is already gathering. As if the night held its breath so as not to scare away the last minute together. And this makes you feel both calm and sad - like after a dream that is too beautiful to be true.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Whisper to me, baby
I'm too far gone to care
I wish I coulda said what I meant when it was right there
Now I'm laying in bed with you
And you're fallin' asleep
How can you look so peaceful
When you know I'm gonna leave?
What happens when you love me dry?
I give myself to help you get by
I keep on lyin' and sweatin' at night
Hold me until someone sends me a sign
Mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Maybe I would be okay if I let this go forever
Send it into space and watch the planets turn
Maybe I will, someday, let this go forever
Hold me until I find the nerve (oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
