The High Rise

You said: «Meet me somewhere between England and Berlin
Leave the high rise and head to red brick, be a man, let life begin»
You took us to the top floor so we could see better
And I got tongue-tied when I thought of something clever
And then.
Under a northern sky
You swore you were happy here
Stood on the edge of forever
Stood on the edge of forever
Getting older by your side
Well that’s the plan, my dear
Stood on the edge of forever
Stood on the edge of forever
Up here, I feel the distance between us and the lives below
Trace the cranes on the horizon and see the airport lights aglow
And I can hear a noise in my head from the pressure
Wathing the dusk from the roof together
And then.
Under a northern sky
You swore you were happy here
Stood on the edge of forever
Stood on the edge of forever
Getting older by your side
Well that’s the plan, my dear
Stood on the edge of forever
Stood on the edge of forever
And walking home I remember.
Under a northern sky
You swore you were happy here
Stood on the edge of forever
Stood on the edge of forever
Growing older by your side
Well that’s the plan, my dear
We’re on the edge of forever
We’re on the edge of forever
