What is there?


C                       
When I look into your eyes
Am           C       G
I see the morning skies
Am       D                 G
I know it's time for me to go.
Am             C    D           G / G D
Would you give me one more kiss?

Dm                  G
You want to make me fly
Am            D
When I see your smile
Dm        Am
Next to mine.
Dm    Am / Dm    G
So close.

Waking up late at night
I reach for your thigh
Breathing in your hair.
So warm.

What has I done to myself?
Kissing you I know
I don't want to try
Anything else.

I thought I am strong
I could be cold
But it has gone away.
So fast.

I wish I could just live in now
Not to worry, not to think
And hold you within me
So tight.

My human condition
Found itself trapped
In so many ways.
For so long.

Reading Nietzsche,
Schopenhauer,
I tried to find the answer.
But I was lost.

Now I know what is there
What keeps us
Strong and bare.
And it is not love.
