[Verse 1]
And for a moment I was sitting, reminiscing about a friend who passed away
What can I say?
The more I think about it
The circumstances in his life weren't really great
In school he was a laughingstock
Blonde hair, blue eyes, only listened to rock
Kinda chubby in a way, collected small rocks
And the wrapper of his sweets in his pocket
Did nothing after school, no sports-team
No hanging out, no big screen
Just reading, and listening
To music, and seeing
One half of him wanted to go
Around the world to see the fauna starting to grow
The other half sat in his room with it
Sang only one song, but sang it like this
[Chorus x2]
This life has taken it's toll on me
It said goodbye too many times before
My heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice, I won't say goodbye anymore
[Verse 2]
Weird for a 14-year old kid
But he talked to me about it
He said:
„One day you will understand
When you meet me again in Switzerland
With a paper and a hat in your hand
While time around you is passing like sand
You will think I am a random man
But I swear to you, I have a plan“
And I believed everything he said
However deep inside I was feeling the dread
That all the things said wouldn't go as planned
And when he fell out the hole of the jet
On the way to France, I remembered the gap
Between him and me
And I began to see what fascinated him about the song
And now whenever I hear it, I just sing along
