Interlude
Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fall off when you're in my thoughts
And I think I've had enough
But I'm not sure how to stop
You bring me ataraxia
When I dream I dream of you
But I'm not sure I'm out of luck
I've had this feeling for a while
Think it must've been your style
Or at least the way talked
About how the world's gone mad
And all those silly thoughts you had
I know I said I wouldn't laugh
So I know I'll have to wait to call you mine
Cause pretty boys in jackets don't waste time
Like I do
For you
Light in hand, on the run
Catch your fag break before you're done
On the bus, my life begun
Saw you across the setting sun
You know the words I don't know
Cause your prettier than any song I wrote
Crash my place, waste my days
I've got so many things to say
Needed more, wanted less
Tried to move on but I regressed




I'm done wasting my time
So you can hace this stupid song I wrote with you in mind
