about

A reflection on how special if feels when you suddenly connect with someone who used to be "behind the scenes" in your life.

lyrics

Feelings and wishes and dreams
An end to the means
Meanings in endings
Thoughts and hopes and plans
I don’t understand
I’m just pretending

And you were there all along
I sang your song
Before knowing how it goes
Before it made sense
In your defense
Things only I know

You’ll show me stars in the desert
We’ll see the Milky Way
You’ll make a cocktail and name it after me someday

Then there came a moment
Not knowing what it meant
The whole world stopped to breathe
Here and then, now and there
Handle with care
Try to believe

How can we still connect
What to expect
While we are waiting
Clear as day in my mind
Craving the sunshine
Stop hesitating

You’ll show me stars in the desert
The planet stands still
Someday I’ll show you the empire I built

The tables have turned
Put in a leaf and expand
Not like I planned
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
And yet I have learned
While you are choosing
Although I am losing
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
what will come

Not even you
Not even me
Not even you
Not even me

Now, it isn’t my turn
When will I learn
It never could be
But can this somehow go on?
I’ll still sing your song
Imagining harmony

You’ll show me stars in the desert
I’ll show you the sea
I’ll show you stars in the hills
And there you’ll be
There you’ll be
There you’ll be
