Pretending he's special Hard to come by You’re running in circles Another restless night He knows you’re at his feet now Before he comes crashing down Living like he’s off the wall On and on Until he gets back on the ground He’s been losing his patience Cherry picking the flowers and trees I guess you’re tired of waiting It's all over can't you see A renaissance lover Passing you by You're tryna take cover Right under the moonlight He caught you by surprise Taking you around the town The morning papers on the table After all He could never waste his time He’s been losing his patience Cherry picking the flowers and trees I guess you’re tired of waiting It's all over can't you see

You're seeing the lines in the mirror A tired reflection But you keep on forgetting your name You’re taken by a change of heart Forgetting all your memories and your lies You’re talking to yourself again Pretending like everything is fine Disco inferno Dance to the moonlight Losing yourself tonight Party glamour In the Tokyo night Losing yourself tonight You’re finding yourself in the backseat And notice your troubles But you’re losing your patience again Looking for a hideaway Somewhere that you never been on your own A changing of reality Seeing the writing on the wall Disco inferno Dance to the moonlight Losing yourself tonight Party glamour In the Tokyo night Losing yourself tonight

A silent voice Calling her name Only in her dreams She's acting kind of strange The way she cuts her hair Like in foreign magazines Teenage days Back to where it all began Finally got a second chance To find her luck The yellow haze Came and took her by the hand Slowly drifting in the sand And she was stuck Loss of innocence Looking at the world With the naked eye She could only wonder When the end is closer Distortion of reality She found herself A different poison Stronger than before Running from the void A tunnel vision Waiting at her door Flashing lights A thousand pictures on her mind While she's stepping out of line Into the unknown Killing lies She was told about a dream Of orange skies like tangerines Right on the coast Loss of innocence Looking at the world With the naked eye She could only wonder When the end is closer Distortion of reality

You lost your head Traveling in a daydream You found your way Somewhere in between You’re trying to change your mind Still looking for an answer It's hard to recognize When the risk was in your hands Your love is a nightmare I don't know why Your love is a nightmare It's no surprise You burned yourself Still living in your past life You can't forget it I see it in your eyes You’re trying to change your mind Still looking for an answer It's hard to recognize When the risk was in your hands Your love is a nightmare I don't know why Your love is a nightmare It's no surprise

The night is young A silent sanctuary Behind the curtain She's got you on a string You know it's all pretend But find it entertaining It always comes around Phenomena Melancolia It's falling back to place This wicked game Your memory is fading out It's falling back to place This wicked game Can you see it? You waste no time The daylight's fading slowly And your heart is racing Just holding on this dream You try to comprehend That life is ordinary The world is crashing down Phenomena Melancolia It falls back into place This wicked game Your memory is fading out It's falling back to place This wicked game Can you see it?
6.
You're out there on your own Puzzled by the past The world keeps moving on And things don't ever last You're trying to pretend That no one is around A careless sentiment Running up and down You've been feeling out of place You can't afford to lose your face This is all you know And now you've found the bitter end Where there's nothing permanent You've seen it all before You've seen it all before
7.
You keep on pretending like you’re somebody else You’re making new friends, but it's all irrelevant It’s irrelevant Bittersweet summertime It’s dragging you down When you’re chasing the lights You’re acting like there’s nothing wrong Bittersweet summertime You’re talking alone In the dead of the night ‘Cause you’ve been dreaming for too long I can tell you’re feeling out of place You watch the day go by Counting the seconds It's always down to one mistake You locked yourself inside Counting the seconds You’re changing your hair again ‘Cause it’s out of style You think you could rule the world Since you lost your mind I guess you lost your mind Bittersweet summertime The talk of the town Like you're somebody new Trying so hard to play along Bittersweet summertime It’s wearing out When you followed the rules It's all a game until you’re gone I can tell you’re feeling out of place You watch the day go by Counting the seconds It's always down to one mistake You locked yourself inside Counting the seconds
