That moment when the relationship breaks up and you meet one last time to exchange a few items. Like a hostage exchange. 'But what if I buy your favourite rose and call the girl to whom it belongs?' Written in 2003 and released as a single in February 2023.
lyrics
COME ALONE
A sleeping bodies’ love’s died, now we sort out the remains
Companions of the past, now hostages bound with chains
some waiting for execution, some for an exchange
we were used to everything, now everything is strange
With a reason, an appointment and a goal
with a plastic bag of memories and woe
we can boldly meet again
and complete the open end
Come alone
no tricks and no traps, darling
I’ll carry your heart in my pocket
carry my head in your hands
This picture, so familiar, now a foreign element
this note was just a note, now it’s written by your hand
this book, never so important, now a witness in a trial
a few hairs and one eyelash, kept in a special file
With a reason, an appointment and a goal
with a plastic bag of memories and woe
we can boldly meet again
and complete the open end
Come alone
no tricks and no traps, darling
I’ll carry your heart in my pocket
carry my head in your hands
I assure you, there’s nothing more
I have my things back, and you have yours
No more reasons to meet again
This is the the end, for sure,
But OOOOHH I don’t know.
What if I buy your favorite rose
and call the girl to whom it belongs?
Come alone
no tricks and no traps, darling
I’ll bring the rose in my pocket
carry my head in your hands
Come alone
no tricks and no traps, my darling
I’ll bring the rose in my pocket
carry my heart in your hands
when we bravely meet again
to complete the open end
