Beside Me Songtext
von Lucas Laufen

Why are we here?
Lost in the city
It′s big and it's straight
It′s cold and it's pretty
For two travelling birds
Blown in from the east
Drying off slowly but homesick to leave


When did this change
When did the coals burn
From orange to grey
From grey into cold earth
Creating the floor down in the cellar
Where she's scared as hell
And I′m too tired to tell her
That i′m scared as well
That Berlin's not forever

I was born as a stone
Sold as a pillar
Holding you up but not pulling you nearer
Supporting your arms from down in the cellar
Where I′m hungry as hell
But I'll never tell her
Cause she′s hungry as well
And we'd be starving together


I hope that I′m wrong
And that you will right me
When I'm out in the rain
When I'm covered in the lightning
I knew this′d be hard
And I knew it′d be frightening
But it'd be ten times as hard
Without you here beside me
