Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Take a look around we're all strangers

So take a look around we're all strangers

Someday

Leave this ghost down

There's no place to stay

The party's over

Send them away

Just take a look around

We're all strangers

Someday

So close but yet so far

Have the feeling I know who we are

So close but yet so far

Have the feeling I know who we are

So close but yet so far

Have the feeling I know who we are

Yeah

So close

Did I leave too much behind

Did I miss something there

You should stop counting the days

And start turning the page

Stop counting the days and start turning the page

So close but yet so far

Have the feeling I know who we are

So close but yet so far

Have the feeling I know who we are

So close but yet so far

Have the feeling I know who we are

So close but yet so far

Have the feeling I know who we are
