Absurdity
It's absurd that I've fallen in love with youThat shouldn't be me, that wasn't what I've planned to do
But you came here again and I quietly allow you to
You look meek, but I'm still afraid
That in any minute this could fade
If you're not here, that means I'm not okay
All my reasons are falling apart
All my senses simply depart
My heart is dancing on thin ice
If you would push me away from you
Somehow you'll end up closer
Minutes are running by us
But I would bring them all back
Tell me, you won't leave just yet!
It's in your eyes, but I'm still in fright
I care only about you, back since we've met
The lights in the sky, put you on my mind
Tell me, you won't leave just yet!
It's in your eyes, but I still won't ask
I care only about you, back since we've met
I'm waiting for you unchanged, I have the same feelings
Even if I used to, now I can't have anybody else
See? There's nobody else I want
Your presence gives me peace
Yet it's upsetting that it could cease
We're just drifting against the current
I don't know what you see in me
And I overthink all my deeds
Because between two stools I fell for you1
All my reasons are falling apart
All my senses simply depart
And I'm worried that you could be playing too
If you would push me away from you
Somehow you'll end up closer
Minutes are running by us
But I would bring them all back
Tell me, you won't leave just yet!
It's in your eyes, but I'm still in fright
I care only about you, back since we've met
The lights in the sky, put you on my mind
Tell me, you won't leave just yet!
It's in your eyes, but I still won't ask
I care only about you, back since we've met
I'm waiting for you unchanged, I have the same feelings
Even if I used to, now I can't have anybody else
See? There's nobody else I want
An absurdity, this is an absurdity
This shouldn't be me
Tell me, you won't leave just yet!
It's in your eyes, but I'm still in fright
I care only about you, back since we've met
The lights in the sky, put you on my mind
Tell me, you won't leave just yet!
It's in your eyes, but I still won't ask
I care only about you, back since we've met
I'm waiting for you unchanged, I have the same feelings
Even if I used to, now I can't have anybody else
See? There's nobody else I want
- 1. This is a word play on an idiom.
'To fall between two stools = to come somewhere between two possibilities and so fail to meet the requirements of either.'
In Hungary this idiom is often used to describe someone ('A') who has two separate potential romantic partners ('B', 'C') available but due to circumstances or personal faux pas, both of them ('B' & 'C') withdraw from the budding relationship, leaving 'A' single.
