Nur ein Herzschlag entfernt [English translation]

I stand here on the platform,

Stare into your eyes,

Your facial expression says more than every word, word, word.

A tight hug and a few quiet tears,

Then I turn around and again I'm gone, gone, gone.

I carry them with me,

Our photos,

Your most radiant smile in a Polaroid.

We travel together,

Even when miles separate us,

You follow me in my thoughts to every place, place, place.

No matter where you are,

How much you miss me,

How much time separates us,

and how fast it goes,

It's not that hard

I'm only a heartbeat away.

And you're all that remains,

Even when everything is falling apart,

Our path forks apart,

I just want you to know,

I'm no further

Than a heartbeat away.

So many strange faces,

And thousands of lights,

But every moment I'm by you, you, you.

On some days,

All these colours fade,

Then I pretend you're by me, me, me.

I carry them with me,

Our photos,

Your most radiant smile in a Polaroid.

We travel together,

Even when miles separate us,

And our world passes by me.

No matter where you are,

How much you miss me,

How much time separates us,

and how fast it goes,

It's not that hard

I'm only a heartbeat away.

And you're all that remains,

Even when everything is falling apart,

Our path forks apart,

I just want you to know,

I'm no further

Than a heartbeat away.

If you ever get lost in yourself

I'm here

For you, yeah for you.

Even if years pass,

And if your world is falling apart,

I am, yeah I am

Only a heartbeat away.

I'm still only a heartbeat away.

Ey only a heartbeat away.

I'm only a heartbeat away.

No matter where you are,

How much you miss me,

How much time separates us,

and how fast it goes,

It's not that hard

I'm only a heartbeat away.

And you're all that remains,

Even when everything is falling apart,

Our path forks apart,

I just want you to know,

I'm no further

Than a heartbeat away.
