These are desperate times It's the opening scene The whole world's a stage What does that say about me? Guess it's hard to let go of the acting and maybe just be I know that my heart is all rusty and weak They did all the tests, there was nothing to see But I know it is in me And one day it will be unleashed Come on over, get closer As close as you can I'll show you the parts of me I also am Come on over, get closer I need you around It's two against the world As long as there's someone who cares May I ask for this dance On the old parquet floor There's an abyss, my dear Where there should be the walls But I want it so bad, guess we'll just have to risk the fall My head is vibrating My whole body shakes My lungs must be failing By the way my chest aches But upon closer look it turns out it was just an earthquake Come on over, get closer As close as you can I'll show you the parts of me I also am Come on over, get closer I need you around To help me through the pain, To tell me it's all fake Come on over, get closer As close as you can I'll show you the parts of me I also am Come on over, get closer I need you around It's two against the world As long as there's someone who cares
