You know,
Back when I was a child.
Young, dumb and wild.
All day outside and playing
Buying stuff , Paying
With money i didn't have but needed to borrow.
I lived like there was no tomorrow.
I was constantly happy.
Nothing could stop me.
My only emotion
Was being in motion.
I liked everybody, there never was a fight.
Oh, back then everything was so bright.
back then everything seemed so easy
But now, this is where this story gets a little cheesy.
(show a little with fingers and mimik)
Everday i went to bed
my parents lastly said
Hannes (That's me)
We love you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much (show with arms)
*Awwww* (enthusiatically happy, hände entzück zusammenschlagen und einen fuss hinter den anderen stellen
*yeah* (moderately depressed)
What my parents did not know
Mainly cause I tried not to show
Was that…I didn't get it.
I mean…what does it mean:
They love me thiiiiis much?
in school I got iiiiiiiin touch
With geometry
So even i could see
That thiiiiiiiiiiiis much
Is less than two meters. (act greatly disappointed)
So they love me less than two meters?
This just didn't make sense.
Neither to me nor to my friends.
Hence I decided to ignore it
AND Time honoured me for it
Cause one day - Thunderstruck - I understood. (mit den fingern schnipsen)
Maybe (mit der flachen hand auf die stirn hauen)
i thought, maybe
The concept of geometry missmatches distances!
Especially, I was aware of this,
when I met a girl I would have lovbed to dare to kiss.
But couldn't
because suddenly between us was this huge abyss
I can see she was only two meters
Away from me
But it feels like an eternity
I want to go but i wont
I want to know what i dont
I want to hold her tight
But then i realize that in real life
Those two meters between us
must be seen as
so much more
than what Thiis much (spread arms)
is in its core.
