The Bottom Falls Out
You're the only thing I know
about love
The only thing that never feels wrong
No one ever comes closer
or is a more honest reflection of myself
You are the one
that wakes me up
at night
because you are afraid
and need me
to calm you down
and say that it will be ok
say that i promise
So how do I explain
That the bottom is falling out
That we are hanging on by a thin thread
While watching as it tears
And how can I defend
that it has toi end
That everything you've learned to take for granted
soon will be outdated
The only thing I know about dignity
and the only thing that is always true
You are the only one who counts on me
to handle everything
The only one
who just by existing
once forced me
to sit down
and deal with everything
I hated about living
until it got better
So how do I explain
that the bottom is falling out
That we are hanging by a thin thread
While we’re watching
as it tears
And how can I defend it
if I didn't dare
and all your expectations of the future
comes with us when we fall
A face
In the forest it is quieter within me
When I ask, I'm always allowed in
There it always peace there
And in the water I feel safer inside
When I jump in it always catches me
There is always support there
No matter how strong or weak I am
You are not just here for decoration
You are the beginning of everything
You work your way into my head
You are a face who looks at me
When I've had too much of myself
And too much has taken on a life of its own
Then it's always lonely
You are the one who reminds me
To search for what actually matters:
Just beeing present here
You are not just here for decoration
You are the explanation for everything
You work your way into my heart
You are a face looking at me
Over the rainbow (re-translation)
Over the rainbow somewhere
In a song
Floats the memory of something true
that I used to know
Over the rainbow somewhere
Everything is possible
When I dare to dream
a magical land awaits
And in the middle of my sleep
I will wake up above the clouds and know for certain
That all that is sad and difficult
It doesn't really exist
up here under the sky
Over the rainbow somewhere
They are flying now
all little birds who know more than I can ever understand
If they can fly away from it all
up over the rainbow, can’t I too?
Like they can fly away from it all
Up over the rainbow
That's how I‘m flying now
