It comes the way it comes
It's written there black on white
The curtain falls too early
Behind it someone asked something

Nothing stays the way it was
Friday you were still at chess club
Suddendly the ground cracks
I walk to the tunnel and look for light

But as long as your heart holds it's breath
As long as the big, small world doesn't collapse
As long as you still talk about the past
A smile will be cast upon your face

Things don't work the way they are
But still everyone continues
The end is in sight
But I'll protect you as long as I can

I'll take things the way they come
But why don't we press replay?
My vote goes for life
With a glimmering speck of more luck

But as long as your heart holds it's breath
As long as the big, small world doesn't collapse
As long as you know who's standing in front of you
A smile will be cast upon your face

As long as the big, small world doesn't collapse
As long as you count the seconds
A smile will be cast upon your face
