Another World

[Intro] [leise] Mmm, mm-hmm Oh, darling [Verse 1] You walked in wearing yesterday’s perfume Rain still folding on your coat You laughed and every lonely little room Turned to velvet, turned to smoke There’s a record in the corner keeping time Dusty trumpet, faded gold You said, "I’ve only got an hour before my train" I said, "That’s how every legend’s told" [Pre-Chorus] Your hand on my glass Lipstick on the rim The night leans in to listen As the lights go dim [Chorus] Let’s disappear to the world in between Where the clocks fall silent and the streets stay clean We can live in a melody nobody’s heard Baby, say the word, say the word Let’s sail away on a half-faded tune Trade this city ceiling for a softer moon If you lean a little closer, I’ll draw you a door And we won’t come back anymore [Verse 2] You trace circles on the table with your ring Like you’re sketching out a map Every line a place we never got to sing Every pause a little trap There’s a taxi humming softly down below Like it knows the way you go But your eyes are on the window, wide and slow Like they’re asking me, "What if we don’t?" [Pre-Chorus] Your coat on the chair Your keys by the glass The night holds its breath As the minutes pass [Chorus] Let’s disappear to the world in between Where the clocks fall silent and the streets stay clean We can live in a melody nobody’s heard Baby, say the word, say the word Let’s sail away on a half-faded tune Trade this city ceiling for a softer moon If you lean a little closer, I’ll draw you a door And we won’t come back anymore [Bridge] [flüsternd] We could wake up where the mornings Pour like coffee through the blinds Where your suitcase has no handle ’Cause you’re never saying goodbye [laut] We could dance through every season On a cracked old kitchen floor Leave our names inside the margins Of the sky and call it "ours" [Breakdown] [leise] Stay, just a measure out of time (out of time) Let the timetable lose your name (lose your name) I’ll be the rhythm in your rhyme (in your rhyme) We can miss that train in style, unashamed [Chorus] Let’s disappear to the world in between Where the clocks fall silent and the streets stay clean We can live in a melody nobody’s heard Baby, say the word, say the word Let’s sail away on a half-faded tune Trade this city ceiling for a softer moon If you lean a little closer, I’ll draw you a door And we won’t come back— [Outro] [sehr leise] —if you stand, I’ll let you go If you turn, I’ll watch you leave But if you sigh and close your eyes We’ll slip into that make-believe Mmm, that world in between Just you and me Just you And me
