Mirrors
MARIA Die RUHE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Queued for life
I see your shine
I´m coming for you
We´re playing a game
Just guessing the rules
Will we fall again?
I can´t ignore
what I´ve felt
While facing your back
now we should know
How to give love a chance
But we just play mirrors
we just play mirrors
I´m in love with you
you´re in love with him
he´s in love with her
she´s in love with somebody else
I´m in love with you
you´re in love with him
he´s in love with her
she´s in love with somebody else
As we touch the core
I run and you hide
We´re both searching for
what we can´t find
All waiting for more
Will there be a time
Before we fall
will i find mine
We´re queued up for love
but dont come too close
I´m always afraid
of overdose
we humm the same rhyme
You run and i hide
Still shaken from life
We still feel the bites
I cant ignore
what I´ve felt
While facing your back
now we should know
How to give love a chance
But we just play mirrors
we just play mirrors
I´m in love with you
you´re in love with him
he´s in love with her
she´s in love with somebody else
I´m in love with you
you´re in love with him
he´s in love with her
she´s in love with somebody else
Everybody´s in love with somebody else
