It's hard enough to breathe for myself, darling
I cannot breathe for you as well
With my last breath i will give you my last kiss
But i, i cannot breathe for you as well

And there are only inches between us,
But there might as well be mountains and trees
In this lonely distance between us
There are cities and oceans and seas

And you and me
Dying gently in our sleep

And it's hard enough to die upon my knees, darling
What is it that you want from me?
Is it not enough for you that i would die upon my knees, darling
What is it that you want from me?

And there are only inches between us,
But there might as well be mountains and trees
In this lonely distance between us
There are cities and oceans and seas

And you and me
Dying gently in our sleep

And these could be the best days of our lives
So you said to me
And now we start again
Lift my head up from my knees
And look you in the eye, tell me
Could these be the best days of our lives

And there are only inches between us,
But there might as well be mountains and trees
In this lonely distance between us
There are cities and oceans, cities and oceans, cities and oceans
And seas

And you and me
Dying gently in our sleep

And there are only inches between us,
But there might as well be mountains and trees
In this lonely distance between us
There are cities and oceans, cities and oceans, cities and oceans
And seas

And you and me
