because they're never going to meet

so maybe we were off to a great start

there were too many people
and nowhere to stand
tell me: how do i act upside-down in this land?
when no one knows a thing about love

it's too bad that we could have been read off paper

i wanted to tell you that i hated those things
but i couldn't, so i didn't
i was exposed to a relationship for once
and i didn't know a thing about love

for a long time there was something i could not solve

as smart as we both may be, there was something deeper
it was set it stone and it was far beyond our reach
i knew that i was safe
but i just wanted to be alone

i put my heart in your hands

so what if i was scared?
while my mind was saying yes, my heart was saying: slow
be careful
because they're never going to meet

and as for me

i'm not going anywhere any time soon
take care of yourself for me
because i still want us to be in each other's lives
even if we can't be each others'
