Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I keep stopping by for more
I sit begging at your doorway
Rattle my cup, are you up?
Take some pity on the poor
I am your favourite substitute
But in the morning I get the boot
Never arranged to change
The point is moot
I bring my bags but I don't unpack
'Cause you need the bedroom back
On again, off again
We don't allow ourselves
To hope for something else
To ask for something more
No, we both know the score
We live in interludes
Nothing misconstrued
Disappointment would be rude
We keep our memories alive
So they'll be waiting when I arrive again
Fan the old flame in her name
And get back to our lives
Suspended animation
Until the next occasion
On again, off again
We're never carried away
Never think beyond today
For a day or two at most
You play the kindest host
No foolish wishing
Beyond these intermissions
To ask for more would spoil the mood
On again, off again
On again, off again
On again, off again
