I open the door at 10 o’clock 
You’ve got the wine and all the stuff I asked 
I already ate my dinner 
But I’ll still eat the chocolate you brought 
On the couch the shape of your body is sinking into mine
At night, my deepest fears find their way to your ears 

Where have you been? 
How did it end ? 
Did you feel sorry after that? 
I can’t promise 
How this will end 
But I’m falling everyday 

On the couch, where we meet at the end of the day 
I tell you my stories and I feel okay 
My dreams meet yours under a blanket 
you make me blush for things I’ve never felt 
The kind of smile that always makes you melt 
In my heart there’s no doubt 
You’ll leave a mark for a lifetime 

I close the door at 3 o’clock 
You wait for me in your spot 
Of our home 
I want to be the one You put on a pedestal when you talk to your mom 
I am here, how can I make it clear? 
I won’t hurt you 
Will you be there ? 
When the rain makes it hard to see through 

Take off your coat 
And all your clothes 
My heart beat sincs with yours 
When it gets dark 
And there’s no noise 
I now know why I never lost hope 

On the couch, where we meet at the end of the day 
I tell you my stories and I feel okay 
My dreams meet yours under a blanket 
you make me blush for things I’ve never felt 
The kind of smile that always makes you melt 
In my heart there’s no doubt 
You’ll leave a mark for a lifetime 

A lifetime filled with tears and all the happy endings I crave 
Maybe it could be a lifetime with kisses on our face
I give it all, you take it in 
You’re the only one under my skin 
You know the scars under my dress 
When it gets loud and I’m at war with my own thoughts you give me space 
You’re the only thing I’ll never regret 

It’s our couch, at the end of the day where I fall apart 
Lay my head on your chest I’m in your arms 
It’s written in the stars, take the keys I’ll drive the car 
Take you out, see the sky, the sunrise, with your beautiful smile 
Take you home, when it gets cold I’ll write a beautiful poem, 
It will leave our mark for a lifetime

Piano voice and words by me lol

on the couch (voice memo)

We met up in berlin when I was seventeen 
I booked the first flight 
Cause I couldn’t think about

You going so close to where I live 
I wouldn’t let it be 
A moment in time 
We could pretend it was alright 

And my friends would tell me their stories and I’d be falling in love 
With the hopes you left me 
I see you in my dreams every before I go to sleep 
So I can paint the happy ending 
That we were waiting

And my friends they loved you in berlin
Cause they saw the spark in my eyes 
The dimples in my smile 

When I was walking by your side 
They forgot all the time that I cried 
We felt like it was alright 

And my friends would  tell me their stories and I’d be falling in love 
With the hopes you left me 
I see you in my dreams every before I go to sleep 
So I can paint the happy ending 
That we were waiting

If it was meant to be, it would’ve been 
I’m sorry I couldn’t be all you wished 
at least I was head over heels 
And you turned out to be all I feared 
I couldn’t stop running until I eventually did 
I crashed my heart into a wall 
But I loved berlin 

I’ll see you back home 
But can i call it home ? 
If I go there twice a year 
I guess I can 
Cause I heard home is where the heart is 
and mine is in your hands, until the end

Now my friends don’t tell me their stories 
Cause I am falling in love with the hopes you left me 
I’ll see you in my dreams before I go to sleep so I can paint the happy ending 
That I am waiting
If it was meant to be it would’ve been 
I’m sorry I couldn’t be all you wished 
At least I was head over heels 
And you turned out to be all I feared 
I couldn’t stop running until I eventually did 
I crashed my heart into a wall 
But I loved berlin 

I heard you moved to Paris 
It’s a 4 hour ride, not a 4 hour flight 
Don’t you think it’s sad ? We’ve never felt so far 
You know I’m such a people pleaser 
And I would’ve done anything 
And I still think we could’ve been happy 
Just like in berlin
