please rewind the time
pink wine in the summer
when you were my lover
to a time when i called you mine
swimming in the garden
loving you a bit harder
every day i’ll keep you by my side
i close my eyes and try to picture you alive
the sizzling heat at this time a year
makes me think of you
think of you, my dear
i told you i would live for you
drive you up that mountain in the south of france
i cannot help it, but this view it makes me sad
when you were my lover
missing you a bit harder
every day i’ll keep you by my side
i close my eyes and try to picture you alive
the sizzling heat at this time a year
makes me think of you
think of you, my dear
i try to keep up with this weeping broken heart
but every beat is tearing me up
i dream of waking up, we’ve never been apart
guess i’ll wait till my time is up
every day i’ll keep you by my side
i close my eyes and try to picture you alive
the sizzling heat at this time a year
makes me think of you
think of you, my dear
every day i’ll keep you by my side
i close my eyes and try to picture you alive
the sizzling heat at this time a year
makes me think of you
think of you, my dear
this is how you break a heart
slowly but real deadly
with endless nights and dreadful talks
you shatter it completely
a stranger that has never seen
the memories, the you in me
consider everything i say
you understand that i need more to stay
but we meet eyes
the noise, it dies
they make me forget all of this
baby blue
tell me anything
if only it’s just a piece of you
if i’m losing it
they take me back to you
i love with nothing more than hope
i can’t afford to be demanding
because i’m known for breaking everything
with just a misunderstanding
why go to the trouble
i would’ve called it quits if i were you
but what a look into your eyes can do
straight back into loving you
baby blue
tell me everything
if only it’s just a piece of you
if i’m losing it
and they take me back to
baby blue
tell me anything
if only it’s just a piece
a piece of you
and if i’m losing it
they take me back to you
you come and you go
like a popsong on the radio
a true billboard dream
number one for weeks
we’re changing radio stations 4 hour drive
every time when it’s on it brings our love back alive
you come and you go
you’re like a popsong on the radio
wasn’t it beautiful
wasn’t it sweet and heavy like first love
wasn’t it fireworks
wasn’t it sweet and heavy like first love
we set out on the road
your ’98 convertible
let’s leave it all you’ll make the call
and say it’s not her fault
we’re switching radio stations 4 hour drive
my friends call you a liar
i still think you’re a star
wasn’t it beautiful
wasn’t it sweet and heavy like first love
wasn’t it fire works
wasn’t it sweet and heavy like first love
you called your baby on our way to the south
saying she’s just a friend, i can’t wait to be home
but you called me baby on our way to the south
and there in your arms the only thing that I saw was
fireworks
sweet and heavy like first love
i saw fireworks
sweet and heavy like first love
you come and you go
like a popsong on the radio
i dream about a house on the moon
every now and then, just for me and you there on the moon
it may be cold but there’s enough space for us two
you seem distracted by the noise
you create for yourself, but in the clouds
there’s no such thing as stupid rules or useless appointments
you can just relax and take it easy
and i will take pictures of you with the same stupid moon every year
and we’ll send it to our parents on christmas eve
i bet you miss the smell of rain on your morning run
but every now and then
i dream about a house on the moon for me and you
i saw you for the last time in a reverie
i left everything and i moved into your apartment
we talked about your phd in science or whatever
i couldn’t help but feel pathetic
sometimes memories won’t leave
been down so long of the doors isn’t about sex, i believe
what about your first time with me?
do you remember smoking cigarettes in your bed?
i know it’s been ten years now, still i can’t forget
we watched control, i cried for the first time
on new year’s eve we accidentally fell asleep
you weren’t allowed to stay over, your mom got quite angry with me
i heard about your dad
i’m so sorry
do you remember quitting smoking and me getting mad?
i know it’s been ten years now, still i can’t forget
i re-watched control, i guess now twenty times
do you remember telling all my friends i’d need someone new
i have to admit that these thoughts make me doubt too
i think i turned out quite okay
what about you?
i’ve been looking in the crowd
for faces who can teach me how to laugh
i am the saddest girl around
tell me anything, it gets me upset
you’re supposed to stay
‘cause we’re raised up that way
my heart is a desert instead
i’m pretending to hold water in my hands
oh what a day i forgot about your face
but the night got me sober again
i still hear your name in my cheap chardonnay
and how you told me you’re gone to stay
oh what a day
i felt something when you were around
i observed you like my favorite piece of art
my nose up close to see the freckles round your eyes
guess i should’ve watched you from afar
maybe i’d have seen
cracks in the colors or a forgery
can i just be
a stranger in the background of your scenery
oh what a day i forgot about your face
but the night got me sober again
i still hear your name in my cheap chardonnay
and how you told me you’re gone to stay
oh what a day
oh what a day
how the hell did we end up from lovers to lost memories & dreams
how the hell did we end up here
oh what a day i forgot about your face
but the night got me sober again
i still hear your name in my cheap chardonnay
and how you told me you’re gone to stay
oh what a day
oh what a day
oh what a day
oh what a day
i saw people kissing on the tv screen
it was a first kiss, i got mine when i was thirteen
i lay awake and thought about
warm soft hands make me shiver instead
and i fell asleep confused
only ever in my dreams i’ve got
someone to love i grab you tight i won’t let go
only ever in my dreams i’ve got
someone to hold but it’s a false alarm
ooh, ooh, ooh
sad, sad dreams oh
i wake up and hear all the blue birds sing
i feel all warm when i think about what nights can bring
i hear a phone ring in the night but i
got no missed calls that might
want to talk about me
only ever in my dreams i’ve got
someone to love i grab you tight i won’t let go
only ever in my dreams i’ve got
someone to hold but it’s a false alarm
ooh, ooh, ooh
sad sad dreams oh
only ever in my dreams i’ve got
someone to love i grab you tight i won’t let go
boys will be boys
momma taught me right
when they leave me in the morning
i got my tears all dried up and no further expectations
easier this way out
i only like him if he’s mean
calls me only when he needs me
no love notes or lullabies, i won’t pick up if you’re that kind
i only like you when you’re mean
why i keep my heart closed like clenched fists?
don’t try to scare me away with this flame that can’t exist
all these sweet words and attention
you know i am not made for this
but you can meet me in my broken love machine
i won’t stay long but i will love you here for free
i only like him if he’s mean
calls me only when he needs me
no love notes or lullabies, i won’t pick up if you’re that kind
i only like you when you’re mean
i only like him if he’s mean
calls me only when he needs me
oh no love notes or lullabies, i won’t pick up if you’re that kind
i only like you when you’re mean
ooh, ooh, ooh
