Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Know a man
His face seems pulled and tense
ย
Like he's riding on a motorbike
In the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest the he should relax
But he's always moving much too fast
ย
Said he'll see me on the flip side
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
ย
There he goes
ย
He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
ย
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
ย
We go way back
I wonder 'bout his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken, where? I don't know
Off he goes, with his perfectly unkept hope
ย
There he goes
ย
And now I rub my eyes
For he has returned
ย
Seems my preconceptions are
What should have been burned
ย
For he still smiles
And he's still strong
ย
Nothing's changed
But the surrounding bullshit
That has grown
ย
And now he's home and we're laughing
Like we always did
My same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
ย
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted
And I know just what is gonna happen next
ย
Before his first step
ย
He is off again
ย
