Pick You Up
Together, in another world
I said I’ll see you after work
In happiness we fixed the date
And I couldn’t wait for the wait
Standing there, on the ground floor
Inside the automatic door
Or is it revolving? I don’t care
I just know that I’ll soon see you there
Next to the elevator, on the screen
I count the numbers: five, four, three…
Two… one… zero… got you, spotted!
I couldn’t be more in this moment
You step out, your badge on your neck
„Mission complete” – one could have said
But instead of that we both just smile
And take steps closer, for a while
„I feel my heart pound” – you tell me
I laugh – „Is this what it should be?
We should feel empty, tired, and bored
Looking forward just to be back home”
Then you hug me, and we kiss
Under the sky, in an inverse abyss
Towards the stars we elevate
This was the feeling worth the wait!
… But in this world, you’ll see your wife
I wonder if she loves her life
For whatever life may sometimes seem
It could be someone else’s dream
