lyrics

I've been here before, stroking glassy eyes, but now things are little bit different, a little less inspired.
recall sunny doors, barbecues in the sunshine, I was settled and nearly for a moment, I planned for life.
I've been here before, walking happy floors, but in the end it all gets broken, I guess that's what I forgot.
Now it's getting cold, I better go to sleep, coz round here the sun doesn't work, it only shines in dreams.

I've been here before, this little bubble of mine, You filled it up with oxygen, but forgot how to fly.
You told me you never learnt, more like you never tried, you say the only thing you ever heard, is that everything dies.
I've been here before, charming angel hearts, but noone told me they shed their wings, then pull you apart.
Now it's getting cold, I better go to sleep, coz round here the sun doesn't work, it only shines in dreams.

I've been here before, the car we used to drive, a little smoke from the exhaust, prompts hazy eyes.
see what I learnt from love, is that everything dies, just as my hands lost sense, I knew you were right.
I've never seen this before, I wish you all the best, with this car as my witness and my gravestone, you'll never see me again.
Now it's deathly cold, I better go to sleep, coz round here the sun doesn't work, it only shines in dreams.
