Breathe in, breathe out
High above the roofs of your hometown
One lives, one dies
Your thoughts go in circles, spinning round
You wipe your tears
And keep them in your heart from this day on
Breathe. Smile
You’ll keep them in your heart from this day on
The cold bright white of neon lights
A thousands smells from last night
A few new faces and
You’re back again
You walk along the corridor
The same one as the day before
You ask at every door
„How are you?“
Sometimes between the welcomes and goodbyes
You look into the mirror, take your time
Breathe in, breathe out
High above the roofs of your hometown
One lives, one dies
Your thoughts go in circles, spinning round
You wipe your tears
And keep them in your heart from this day on
Breathe. Smile
You’ll keep them in your heart from this day on
You take your time, you listen to
What the old man said to you
Remember all their tales
They are yours
You talk to them, dry their tears
Cause you know all their fears
Happy when they leave you
With a smile
Sometimes between the welcomes and goodbyes
You look into the mirror, take your time
Breathe in, breathe out
High above the roofs of your hometown
One lives, one dies
Your thoughts go in circles, spinning round
You wipe your tears
And keep them in your heart from this day on
Breathe. Smile
You’ll keep them in your heart from this day on
Sometimes between the welcomes and goodbyes
You look into the mirror, take your time
Breathe in, breathe out
High above the roofs of your hometown
One lives, one dies
Your thoughts go in circles, spinning round
You wipe your tears
And keep them in your heart from this day on
Breathe. Smile
You’ll keep them in your heart from this day on
