my eyes are closed but they don’t make
the world around me disappear
all of the twists – all of the chances
and i had to end up here

no man can hoard all of his feelings
and cover his vulnerable heart
still there’s that shame in falling
so we hide it from the start

but she – she was almost worth the risk
i saw her as no other
and now – she confesses her feelings
she loves me – like her brother?

her words carry off in an echo
like some punishment that i deserve
cause i had hoped to tell her
but i never had the nerve

and i’m stuck here with a smile
though i know that it’s our end
cause one things for sure -if we won’t be more
we will have to be less (than) friends

our conservation has ended
but we think of some reason to stay
over the phone – so close
so far away
