Deadline
Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ei oltu nдhty pitkддn aikaan, kauas kotoa muutettiin
Usein ajattelin sua, tulit samaan kaupunkiin
Vaan kun viimeinkin sut kohtaan, mikддn ei oo ennallaan
Tapaan toisenlaisen naisen, enkд kuulu sen maailmaan

Mд kosketusta turhaa hain, sua kutsuu kiireeseen deadline

Kertosдe:
Sullon jддnyt liian monta unta nдkemдttд
On muka liian vдhдn aikaa jдljellд
Sun on pakko hellittдд, pian se on liian myцhдistд
En tahdo nyt sua menettдд

Ootko unohtanut menneen, kaikesta me haaveiltiin
Nyt sд naurat ettet enдд usko niihin unelmiin
Vaan kun katson noihin silmiin naisen kovan ja uupuneen
Ennen kuin sд kддnsit selkдs ehdin nдhdд kyyneleen

Mд kosketusta turhaa hain, sua kutsuu kiireeseen deadline
