The comfort I found in her eyes could not last
after she turned away
remaining a shadow in a dream
a longing until it is forgotten

I'd like to hold her, but she slipped away
I pretend to be glad about it
Are we in love are we narrowed beginners
fooled by the glimpse of an eye

Like pinballs in a pinball game we casually meet
a spark, a flame, a moment on fire
to remember the light after it has faded

Do I know her, know her better than anyone else?
don't tell me I can't stay with her
I thank god that there is no chance.
Enough time to swallow the pain

And you, the one who will find her
treat her better than I ever could
but don't ever tell me where she leads you
time is my ally to forget her (until we casually meet)

Like pinballs in a pinball game we casually meet
a spark, a flame, a moment on fire
But don't forget me
