Description
The sadness here is not oppressive - it flows gently, like rain on glass, and is even somewhat beautiful. Everything seems to have ended long ago, but thoughts still wander through the puddles of old feelings. There is a strange calmness in this: when the pain is no longer acute, but simply part of the landscape. It's as if two souls tried to become one, but ended up on different sides of the window - each with its own reflection, its own ‘what if.’ And even if the answers are never found, the memory itself sounds bright - almost like a farewell that has finally learned to be warm.

Lyrics and translation
Original
She wondered when the raindrops fell
She wondered why her cheeks were wet
And she entrusted a secret
That I could not have kept
I wonder where she is tonight
And wonder why the dawn was so bright
I couldn't contain it
Sank into the pavement
The sorrowful reunion
Was inevitable
Living an illusion
Oh we were so compatible
And I miss all the X and Os
Do you regret the path you chose?
He looks as if he knows the way
So calm in his confliction
Though I know there's a storm here
Through his eyes I will hide my fear
I wonder why he's so composed
Though life seems to hand out troubles on a tray
Well I can't escape it
Hid down in the basement
The sorrowful reunion
Was inevitable
Living an illusion, oh but we're so compatible
And I miss all the X and Os
Do you regret the path you chose
With me?
