Description
Sometimes happiness really does seem suspicious - too smooth, too perfect, as if it's about to burst like a soap bubble from a random breath. Everything is beautiful, almost lunar, but somewhere under my ribs, a feeling itches: is it too good to be true? Maybe that's the catch. Around are sparkles, lightness, and a soft "so good" that makes your head spin and simultaneously makes you want to run away. Because perfect is tiring. Even meditation doesn't help when everything suddenly becomes too bright. But I'm still drawn there - to that fleeting, transparent feeling, like a dream on the verge of waking.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Took a bite of the apple
Never knew what I'd find inside
Are my emotions irrational
Because it's feeling like do or die
Behind your eyes is there a silver lining?
I need to know before the clocks unwinding
Maybe I misunderstood?
So why is it
A little too good?
I'm tired of entertaining so good it feels so wrong
Can't get a clue
I'm through with all the waiting, how did I do it so long?
What can I do (do) when we're ticking away and I'm losing all my patience?
What can I do?
So tell me what can I do, with you?
It's getting harder to handle
Watching the hourglass running outta time
Like melting wax off a candle
How did we ever get so misaligned?
(Thought we had it in the bag) I was mistaken
(Wish I wasn't so attached) to the situation
Maybe I misunderstood?
So why is it
A little too good? Yeah
I'm tired of entertaining, so good it feels so wrong (why's it so wrong?)
Can't get a clue
I'm through with all the waiting
How did I do it so long? (So long)
What can I do (do) when we're ticking away and I'm losing all my patience?
What can I do?
So tell me what can I do with you?
Thought we had it in the bag
Wish I wasn't so attached
Let's enjoy it while it lasts (let's enjoy it while it lasts)
So good it feels so wrong
Thought we had it in the bag (thought we had it in the bag)
Wish I wasn't so attached
Maybe I misunderstood?
So why is it
A little too good?
I'm tired of entertaining, so good it feels so wrong (why's it so wrong?)
Can't get a clue (yeah)
I'm through with all the waiting, how did I do it so long?
What can I do (do) when we're ticking away and I'm losing all my patience?
What can I do?
So tell me what can I do, with you?
