Lyric

Opening the window wide

Breathing in the cold air from outside

Watching it spread through the room, so clear

The wind is a little strong, I fear

Messing up my hair, but I don't mind

I’m feeling good, leaving the night behind

The things that matter, the things that are true

I can never say them right to you

But as long as my core is steady and fast

It’s okay if the words don't last

It’s fine just like this

It’s better this way

A little bit off-center, let it stay

Even though I’m standing in the light

I can’t find the courage for the fight

If I just reach out my hand today

I could touch you, not far away

Hey... let's call each other by our names

Bit by bit, through these gentle games

Keeping this distance, keeping it right

That’s the most beautiful sight in the light

The nights are getting shorter, I can feel

Walking with a fluttering heart that’s real

I haven’t forgotten that day, you know

It’s still in my chest, beginning to grow

Ah... the world is turning

Into vivid colors, forever burning

With this heartbeat, with this glow

The colors are starting to overflow!

It’s fine just like this

It’s better this way

A little bit off-center, let it stay

Wavering inside the morning sun

A little bit of lying, just for fun

I’ll pretend I don’t see the truth

Smiling through the shadows of my youth

Hey... don’t come too close, don’t come too near

I’ll see you too clearly, that’s my fear

"This way is better," I tell myself so

Trying to believe it as I let it go

But the truth is

I want to step in

Until I’m close enough to touch your skin

I want to reach you
