Another night a different town
one more time I’m on my own
I can’t sleep and I stare at your picture
on my mobile phone
I had too many drinks too many cigarettes
all I’m longing for is my own bed
cause these sheets smell like yours
and that’s driving me mad
Yeah it has been a while
since I fell in love for the very last time
since I acted like a fool since
I acted like a child
I saw you today across the street
but I looked away when you looked at me
cause I’m still not ready for this
after all those years
I don’t need no more mails
I don’t need no more calls
at least I don’t need you at all
if I say it often enough, it might come true
now that half of the trail is done
I look back to the days
when all this has begun
this record has been released
20 years ago
