lyrics

This is not what I intended
Not what I had signed up for
I'd thought of something vague and open-ended
With a handle on the door
I see you standing before me
I smell your hair
I feel the warmth of your presence
It fills the air
I sense your physical form fill the room that we are in
Now after all the garbled talking
After everything I'd seen
Still nothing could prepare me for you stepping through that screen

Das war nie der Plan gewesen
So hatt' ich's mir nicht vorgestellt
Davon gehört, davon gelesen
Aber nicht in dieser Welt
Du kannst so tun, als wär das schon immer so vorgesehen
Dass du und ich wie die Tiere so dicht aneinander stehen
Der Schnitt deiner Brauen überrascht mich
Die Form deiner Ohren
Nach dem körperlosen Leben
Nach der Trauer und dem Zorn
Falscher Mehltau auf den Reben
Es beginnt alles von vorn

Lalalalala

This is not what I intended
Not what I had signed up for
I'd thought of something vague and open-ended
With a handle on the door
