      Come closer and see
      See into the trees
      Find the girl
      If you can
      Come closer and see
      See into the dark
      Just follow your eyes
      Just follow your eyes

      I hear her voice
      Calling my name
      The sound is deep
      In the dark
      I hear her voice
      And start to run
      Into the trees
      Into the trees

      Into the trees

      Suddenly I stop
      But I know it's too late
      I'm lost in a forest
      All alone
      The girl was never there
      It's always the same
      I'm running towards nothing
      Again and again and again and again

      Sunk deep in the night
      I sink in the night
      Standing alone underneath the sky
      I feel the chill of ice
      On my face
      I watch the hours go by
      The hours go by

      You sleep
      Sleep in a safe bed
      Curled and protected
      Protected from sight
      Under a safe roof
      Deep in your house
      Unaware of the changes at night

      At night
      I hear the darkness breathe
      I sense the quiet despair
      Listen to the silence
      At night
      Someone has to be there
      Someone has to be there

      Someone must be there

      I play at night in your house
      I live another life
      Pretending to swim
      In your house
      I change the time in your house
      The hours I take
      Go so slow ...

      I hear no sound in your house
      Silence
      In the empty rooms
      I drown at night in your house
      Pretending to swim
      Pretending to swim

      Hello image
      Sing me a line from your favourite song
      Twist and turn
      But you're trapped in the light
      All the directions were wrong

      You'll fall in love with somebody else
      Tonight

      Help yourself
      But tell me the words
      Before you fade away
      You reveal all the secrets
      To remember the end
      And escape someday

      You'll fall in love with somebody else
      Again tonight

      Take a step
      You move in time
      But it's always back ...
      The reasons are clear
      Your face is drawn
      And ready for the next attack

      It's not a case of doing what's right
      It's just the way I feel that matters
      Tell me I'm wrong
      I don't really care

      It's not a case of share and share alike
      I take what I require
      I don't understand ...
      You say it's not fair

      You expect me to act
      Like a lover
      Consider my moves
      And deserve the reward
      To hold you in my arms
      And wait
      And wait
      And wait
      For something to happen

      It's not a case of telling the truth
      Some lines just fit the situation
      Call me a liar
      You would anyway

      It's not a case of aiming to please
      You know you're always crying
      It's just your part
      In the play for today

      Secrets
      Share with another girl
      Talking all night in a room
      All night
      Everything slowing down
      I wish I was yours ...

      Strangers
      Nobody knows we love
      I catch your eyes in the dark
      One look relives the memory
      Remember me
      The way I used to be

      Time slips away
      And the light begins to fade
      And everything is quiet now
      Feeling is gone
      And the picture disappears
      And everything is cold now
      The dream had to end
      The wish never came true
      And the girl
      Starts to sing

      Seventeen seconds
      A measure of life
      Seventeen seconds
