Lyrics

Summer lover, you still hover in winter

Help me make sense of the distance

Tell me that you’re not with her

When you’re 3000 miles away

How can your hands press against my chest?

Familiar death,

Don’t come again.


Tasting regret, bitterness overtakes me

You’re so quick to forget

Down on one knee, then betray me

But I can’t see anything now

Yet the future knows impossible things

My memory plagues me now

Familiar death

Don’t come again


Come closer, Roman

Speak higher, Roman

Don’t punch below

Don’t go so low

Come closer, Roman

Speak higher, Roman

Don’t punch below

Don’t go so low

Speak higher

Speak higher

Speak higher

Speak higher


Let the flowers spill out of your mouth again

Back into the waters, where you once pulled me in

You tell me I’m beautiful when I cry -

Is that why you keep saying goodbye?


Come closer, Roman

Speak higher, Roman

Don’t punch below

Don’t go so low

Come closer, Roman

Speak higher, Roman

Don’t punch below

Don’t go so low

Speak higher

Speak higher

Speak higher

Speak higher


Call me Roman, I can’t sleep tonight

I close my eyes, but I can’t close my mind

These clouds won’t shift shape

These clouds block the light

How could you leave with a full moon in the sky?
