Kartenhaus English translation
von Adel Tawil

You look at me, so deep
And I see it in your eyes
Words are leaving, silence remains
I hold you tight for as long as I can
But no one will stop the hands on the clock
Cause you’ll never be ready
I want it to be like this forever
I want it to be like this forever


But this moment is like a house of cards
And time pulls out its cards
I watch them fall to the floor
Fall to the floor
This moment is like a house of cards
And time pulls out its cards
I pick them up and hold them tight
So my heart won’t forget about you

I see the glitter in your tears
And the things that hold us near
Are so much closer now but for us to understand
Time goes by and swept us away
But I want to be right here
Cause you’ll never be ready
I want you to stay for good
I want you to stay for good

I can feel what you‘re feeling
In this very second
Hold your candle to mine
The rays will meet
I stay where you are
I will never let you go
I give you myself to hold on to
