Manchmal

The turtle and the scorpion
The riverbank the deal
To cross the open water
They mutually agreed
Out there in the distance
The other side in sight
Banking on forever
Holding on for life

I can see the other side
I want to see the other side

Out there in the middle
The truth is hard to find
I'm running round in circles
I find I'm running blind
Praying for the distance
Praying for more time
I'm running round in circles
I'm running out of time

Manchmal
I often think of you
Manchmal
I want to see it through
Manchmal
I should feel something more inside
Manchmal
I want to reach the other side
Now

The point of grave decision
No turning back this time
No sense of reluctance
No doubt in my mind
Except that nagging feeling
The thought that it might fail
The bullet's in the chamber
The sting is in the tail

Manchmal
I only think of you
Manchmal
Could we see it through?
Manchmal
There is something left inside?
Manchmal
My nature cannot hide

I'm swimming
I'm swimming

I can see where we're going
I can see how you feel
I can sense you're going to leave me
I know you'll break the deal
I'll drown in my sorrows
And I'll drink at your shrine
Manchmal

Is that the way that you see it
Tell me how it should be
It's time to choose between the devil
And the deep blue sea
Manchmal
Manchmal

Manchmal
There's something stirring deep inside
Manchmal
A chance to come alive
Manchmal
Manchmal

It's time to choose between
The open water and your dreams
It's time you faced reality
Time you faced your fears
Manchmal
It's different this time

Manchmal
Manchmal
Manchmal
It'll be different this time
