Lyrics

nothing's forever but some things don't
change (or at least stay within the same
range), now this is your city and that is
my fate: shouldn't have come here for I
came too late. yet still I'd like to stay and
see what time can do, to see if I can get
over or get along with you. intimacy, you
say, is a matter of time, and you're right,
this I know. but there's not much left until
I have to go..

for so many years I've been trying to
prevent myself from trying to reach you
my hand. now back in your city I had
promised myself not to call, but couldn't
resist at all. and so we spend the day
with talks and lemonade, and I will face
a fortress I'd still like to invade. intimacy,
you say, is a matter of time, and you're
right, this I know, but I don't have any
cause I have to go.

and I still feel small when I stand next
to you, still question everything that I
do. and I can leave your city but cannot
leave behind the questions you engraved
on my mind. i wish you could one day
be as meaningless to me as the friends
that I abandoned or the ones I rarely see.
intimacy, you say, is a matter of time - so
I don't have a chance to cast more than a
brief glance at you
