Songtext:
When I was young…
around twenty…
everything was light.
When I was young, around twenty,
life was easy then.
A single look, a quiet step,
no words I had to plan.
There was no goal, no price, no worth,
no skill I had to show.
Just closeness, just a moment
that said: this works… or no.
A gentle movement,
one moment decides.
No return,
no tomorrow.
What can I do
except breathe this desperation out?
What can I do
to feel light again somehow?
What can I do
without causing pain?
I am lost.
I am helpless.
Today, so many years later,
everything feels hard.
I fear the looks, expectations,
every silent regard.
Desires have grown older,
reactions cold and tight.
Not like then,
not like twenty,
not simple, not so light.
What can I do
except breathe this desperation out?
What can I do
to feel light again somehow?
What can I do
without causing pain?
I am lost.
I am helpless.
I don’t want to lose a thing.
Don’t want to risk too much.
Don’t want to kill the flame
that’s still alive in us.
The fire flickers.
I stand still.
Too much closeness
puts it out.
I need help…
but from who?
The help
can only come
from the one it’s about.
But how do I say it?
[Final Chorus]
I’m turning in circles.
Turning in circles.
I am lost.
I am helpless.Life
is so hard.
