Kartenhaus [English translation]

You look at me, so deep

And I see it in your eyes

Words are leaving, silence remains

I hold you tight for as long as I can

But no one will stop the hands on the clock

Cause you’ll never be ready

I want it to be like this forever

I want it to be like this forever

But this moment is like a house of cards

And time pulls out its cards

I watch them fall to the floor

Fall to the floor

This moment is like a house of cards

And time pulls out its cards

I pick them up and hold them tight

So my heart won’t forget about you

I see the glitter in your tears

And the things that hold us near

Are so much closer now but for us to understand

Time goes by and swept us away

But I want to be right here

Cause you’ll never be ready

I want you to stay for good

I want you to stay for good

But this moment is like a house of cards

And time pulls out its cards

I watch them fall to the floor

Fall to the floor

This moment is like a house of cards

And time pulls out its cards

I pick them up and hold them tight

So my heart won’t forget about you

I can feel what you‘re feeling

In this very second

Hold your candle to mine

The rays will meet

I stay where you are

I will never let you go

Stick with me

But this moment is like a house of cards

And time pulls out its cards

I watch them fall to the floor

Fall to the floor

This moment is like a house of cards

And time pulls out its cards

I pick them up and hold them tight

So my heart won’t forget about you

So my heart won’t ever forget about you
