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
