Mephisto

Bittersweet

I can’t help but bear in mind that
This perfect moment will soon just
Fade into timeAnother piece of my memory
Something that will become a part of me
But the details become blurry…

Now we finally have some time together
But you know it will be over soon enough
And then I’ll just be thinkin’ of you and
If and when we’ll see each other again

Tell me just what could I forget?
Will I be able to recall your scent?
The details of your body

Time just seems to be so quickly fleeting
I wish I could stretch this feeling
Out into eternity

It’s so bittersweet, this time we have together
‘cuz you know it will be over soon enough
and then I’ll just be thinkin’ of you and
if and when we’ll see each other again

perhaps some things are better left to memory
where time can heal and mold it perfectly
so you can always look back on it fondly

the light spills in through the window
and dances on your shoulders
intensifying your beauty

it’s so bittersweet this time we have together
‘cuz you know it will be over soon enough
and then I’ll just be thinkin’ of you and
if and when we’ll see each other again…

-

now that the night has fallen
the electric wires inside the light
ignite and start to glow just right
I can’t believe you’re just as beautiful at night

When I’m with you the world just fades away
The time passes, and the rocks they turn into sand
And I felt it in that moment
When I realized you were slipping through my hands

Now we finally have some time together
But you know it will be over soon enough
And then I’ll just be thinkin’ of you and
If and when we’ll see each other again
