Once for a while I was by your side Standing so close But we did not smile I saw you lose control I saw your system overload Go away, away, away In the shadow of that night We cried Like two lost cars With crashing lights Once for a while I was next to you You looked away Though you did not move I wished to hold you near I tried to reach you inner ear Stay away, away, away In the silence of that night We tried To break the seal to what's inside Like strangers on familiar land We navigate But can't understand Now I'm awake I can see behind You were afraid I was paralyzed I saw you round the bend And knew the way that it would end I wished to hold you near And cheat the fates of what was clear Stay away, away, away
