[[[Lyrics]]]
[Intro]
[Castrato Choir]
A hundred books are not enough
to show how i feel inside.
I know it's just a state of mind.
I know it's just too late to mind.
You never played 'hard to get' or something.
I'm walking up and down all the time.
I'm waiting for the doorbell to ring.
I'm waiting for this torn bell to ring.

[Whining voice]
Kajo

[Bridge 1]
Kajo
Kajo Dadadadada
Kajo Nanananana Dadadadada
Kajo Dadadadada

[Verse 1]
In the kitchen doing dishes for a while.
'til their shininess can rival with your smile.
In the bathroom scrubbing on my knees.
Looking in the mirror. Double checking my teeth.
In my mind your voice sounds so unique.
Your constant complaints about quirks,
that make you so lovable and sweet.

[Chorus]
Here i'm waiting. I wait for you tonight.
And by my doorbell, i wonder do you smile?
I swear i won't try to play the puffed up guy.
You'll compliment the chef. Maybe you're only being nice.
We'll look into our eyes
and have a glass of wine.
I'm sure my mood is right for a
rendez-vous.

[Bridge 2]
Kajo Nanananana Dadadadada
Kajo Dadadadada Nanananana
Kajo Nanananana Dadadadada
Kajo Dadadadada

[Verse 2]
At the carwash in the soapy breeze.
Coining melodies that spiral like the brushes.
At the groceries getting all we need.
Dancing to the gnocchi, tumbling in the heat.
In my mind i feel like i'm so small.
Everything has to be perfect,
then i feel safe to give you a call.

[Chorus]

[Intro]

[Verse]
so we ran out of words
whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever we argued
i know
that everything has been said
the silence it ain't too bad

how did it end up here?
whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever we parted
for now
my mind knew that it was right
how come that it felt so wrong inside

we carry our history
our moments deep in the heart

but now, this time, it's much more serious
and i can feel the truth
how we both did change

[Chorus]
i wish i could undo
undo undo undo
i wish i could undo
the things we did to each other

[Verse 2]
with my head in my hands
whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever we rescued
our hope
it still didn't make no sense
our lives had no taste and lacked the scent

it's not how it used to be
whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever we started
somehow
we multiplied energies
for four weeks it felt like in a dream

we carry our mysteries
our torments deep in the heart

but now, this time, it's much more serious
and i can feel the truth
but now, this time, it's much more serious
and i can feel the truth

truth, truth, truth, truth

maybe more honesty
maybe warm-heartedness
maybe sincerity
maybe devotion - oh
maybe more mindfulness
maybe the will to grow
don't really know what i want
but i want it so

[Chorus]
how i wish i could undo
undo undo undo
i wish i could undo
the things we did to each other

[Outro]
undo undo un - do

[[[Lyrics]]]

yeah!

[Verse]
you stay at home
were out all night
your search for something turned out like
countless times before. just a waste.

we made a deal
let‘s talk straight
avoid assumptions right away
so there‘s no bitter aftertaste.

now, i don‘t have a clue what is biting you.
oh no!
you looked at me so blank-faced.

[Chorus]
i‘d give you everything i own.
you need an ear, so pick up the phone.
don‘t hide to make it better,
cause here stands a friend.

so much energy to share.
a great big hug and genuine care.
you‘re yearning for warmth.
so give me your hand!

come on!

[Verse]
you lost your shine
cause you‘re out all day
to meet your family in a way
which makes you sigh in the end.

we are lying here
i hold you close
your freckles glow around your nose
you‘re hot and cold from discontent

all i know: you miss your long gone mother now.
oh yeah!
i will stay with you to make amends.

[Chorus]

[End]

[Verse]
everyone keeps telling me:
"just let her be!
it‘s so obvious that you won‘t be her man!"

everyone keeps saving me
from levities,
not to face that sorrow once again.

i will never ever give up on you

[Chorus]

everyone says:
"go work out and party loud!
socialize or pour yourself into work!

that‘s what the life is all about!
just look around!
a million beauties! don‘t be such a jerk!"

[Intro]

[Verse]
Unten nächtigt funkelnd die Stadt.
Erregte Fingerspitzen forschen.
Oben raunen Gestirne warm Damaliges.
Zwei Rücken aalen auf dem Wagendach.

Innen klopft das Herz den besonderen Takt.
Vertraute Ohren horchen.
Außen hauchen Lippen duftend Malerisches.
Unendlich mehr, gern hundertfach.

[Chorus]
Du - bist das Einzige für mich.
Du - Wie konnt' ich bisher leben ohne Dich?
Du - bist das Einzige für mich.
Du - Wir warten auf des Morgens golden Licht.

[Verse 2]
Vorn schlummert das betagte Heim.
Sesshafte Bauchgefühle planen.
Hinten sprüht die Mondflut Irisierendes.
Läßt uns naive Bauherren sein.

Da zeitigt der Traum den Keim.
Atemlose Leiber ahnen.
Dort trägt ein Kinderlachen Innervierendes
durchs Fenster unsres Luftschloßes herein.

[Chorus 2]
Du - bist das Einzige für mich.
Du - Ich weiß jetzt, ich war einsam ohne Dich.
Du - bist das Einzige für mich.
Du - Wir schenken uns die Welt. Mehr habn wir nicht.

[Outro]
Du - Durch Augenmeere strahlt der Seele Schein.
Du - Nasenspitzen stoßen sich beim ersten Versuch.
Du - Küss alles Glück in weiche Haare hinein.
Du - Am Trapezius belohnt der schönste Geruch.

[Intro]
*laughter*

[Verse 1]
Four days all feel like monday. Finally fridays there.
Saturday i can sleep `til noon and the claws release me.
I can do what i like.
I‘m spending my time.
I‘m free.
Sunday is just pre-monday.

[Prechorus 1]
I‘m so out of time.

[Chorus]
Catch a dream today.
Do it, do it and be great! (great, great)
Before it is too late.
Do it, do it and be great! (great, great)
Do it, do it! Don‘t be late! (late, late)
Do it, do it and be great! (great, great)

[Verse 2]
Dichotomy, old as the hills. To have or to be.
The more i drag around, the more it hurts my feet.
As long as i don‘t
wanna let go of
my needs.
Sunday will stay pre-monday.

[Prechorus 2]
I‘m still out of time.

[Chorus]
