Grapefruit

Gloom hangs above you on the wall
Like a very old garland with a sea of elephants
And concrete balloons
Which are shaped like monsters
Others wear timeless perfumes, but you wear this dismal look
So dismal that even Lana Del Rey would be jealous of you
You say that it's your fate
That "from now on..." - sorry, I don't believe in that
 
[Chorus]
And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...
You know, things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day
Come, let's open up the windows, turn the radio up loud
Let fresh winds in and all the old doubts fly out
When you firmly believe, then you'll be happy
And today, we've got grapefruit for breakfast
 
Do you see? I understand you
It's just a theory for now, but I believe I understand you
I've felt similar to you before
Maybe I also know too little about you
But your sad face, that reminds me of me
You remind me of me
 
Because y'know, last year - in about exactly the same timeframe as now
I fought with blunt swords and ghosts
I laid in bed every day and asked myself questions
Stuff like: What the fuck is my plan in this world?
But all that head breaking, the dangerous fighting
And duels against myself really sapped all my energy
Until I held up a white flag towards happiness
Because, if I can win, then I've also lost something in the end
I always wanted to be like the others, but that brings absolutely nothing
And that's never gonna happen, anyway, because the others already exist
The day that became clear to me was my fresh start
And today I can say that I am my best friend
 
[Chorus]
And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...
You know, things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day
Come, let's open up the windows, turn the radio up loud
Let fresh winds in and all the old doubts fly out
When you firmly believe, then you'll be happy
And today, we've got grapefruit for breakfast
 
And all these beautiful things in the world - it can't be down to chance
Mother Earth really tried to do her best for us
Time passes too quickly for the thought monsters to decay
And how you regard yourself, only you can decide that
And hugs, and flowers, and dancing in the summer rain
Hey, look: swimming, breathing, reading, sleeping
Friends and snapshots
Love, laughter, cooking, dancing
Christmas - how nice is this!
And then you suddenly realise that you are your own homeland
And you still sing, and we're both in the kitchen
And there's Coldplay, but above all, there's grapefruit for breakfast
And one more thing: when you break your leg, you go to the orthopaedist
So maybe you could also talk to a therapist
Because you're not crazy - at least no crazier than I am
Take off your summertime sadness and show me your face
And I want to tell you so much fucking more, like:
You don't have to suffer through phases like this - at least not secretly
Don't listen to the doubts, because you're not alone here
And everything always carries on, carries on, just like us
 
[Chorus]
And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...
You know, things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day
Come, let's open up the windows, turn the radio up loud
Let fresh winds in and all the old doubts fly out
When you firmly believe, then you'll be happy
And today, we've got grapefruit for breakfast
And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...
You know, things will become true if you say them often enough
Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day
