Nowhere Close Songtext
von Slow Wave Sleep

Should a thief lose sleep at night?
Must a giver never lie?
It′s obvious that no one plays fair
Embrace the mess, then wash your hands and listen
Everything you hear from now on isn't me

In a trail of fire I know we will be free again
In the end we will be one
In a trail of fire I′ll burn before you bury me
All hopes will become smoke
And vanish with the breeze (until that time just)


Don't try to be special
Don't try to track down the sun with your wings
Don′t try to be special
Don′t try to be somewhere you belong
Because there's something in the middle
Something in the middle waiting
Something in the middle that fits for you
Because there′s something in the middle
Something in the middle groovin'
Something in the middle lurking for you

Never stare into my eyes
They are hollow, I won′t disguise
The silence speaks where words would lie
Grab your chance while it's in sight
Otherwise you′ll be stuck forever
In a cold, dry life

Pickin' stuff you like from stuff you hate
Scraps from a pig's buffet
Who picked stuff he likes from stuff he hates
Which, however, seemed like a good deal

Pickin′ stuff they like from stuff they hate
Scraps from a girl′s buffet
Who picked stuff she likes from stuff she hates
It's nowhere close to my taste

Cried every time that I
Tried to bring you back to light but never made it right
You swore, then fled so high
I′m still sinking deeper hearing all these voices


Don't try to be special
Don′t try
Don't try to be special
Don′t try to be somewhere you belong
Because there's something in the middle
Something in the middle waiting
Something in the middle that fits for you
Because there's something in the middle
Something in the middle groovin′
Something in the middle lurking for you
