Somewhere Out There
Click to see the original lyrics (German)
[Verse 1]
Big plans in my childhood bedroom
Under the poster of Kurt Cobain
I still remember how I sat there
Under the flickering of the neon lights
Wanderlust on the photo wall
That I had to get out of here someday, that was clear to me
[Pre-Chorus]
It feels easier to stay
But it would be better to go now
[Chorus]
Somewhere out there
In another city
There's another life that I'm missing out on right now
I'd trade everything once, everything that I have
Because somewhere out there, you're lying there awake right now
Say, are you lying awake right now?
Say, are you lying awake right now?
[Verse 2]
She was the second big love
And in the light of the Ikea candles
I thought that what I had with her would stay forever
Our bed was only one-forty1
It got too small at some point
And over time, "forever" turned into "maybe"
[Pre-Chorus]
It feels easier to stay
But it would be better to go now
[Chorus]
Somewhere out there
In another city
There's another life that I'm missing out on right now
I'd trade everything once, everything that I have
Because somewhere out there, you're lying there awake right now
Say, are you lying awake right now?
Say, are you lying awake right now?
[Bridge]
Are you out there somewhere?
Are you out there somewhere?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
Are you out there somewhere?
Do I have to keep running?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
[Chorus]
Somewhere out there
In another city
There's another life that I'm missing out on right now
I'd trade everything once, everything that I have
Because somewhere out there, you're lying there awake right now
Say, are you lying awake right now?
[Outro]
Are you out there somewhere?
Say, are you lying awake right now?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
Say, are you lying awake right now?
Are you out there somewhere?
Say, are you lying awake right now?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
Are you out there somewhere?
