Draußen Vor Der Tür

We ignored each other for a long time and barely accepted each other
In that time that was difficult for both of us
You were so violent, and I was so full of hate
We didn't get along at all for years

I never wanted to be like you and how you think
Today I notice again and again how similar I am to you
Luckily it wasn't too late back then
We forgave each other, the storm has calmed

That was all so long ago, so infinitely far away
But it's not hard for me to remember
How it was the last time we saw each other
Out there outside the door

They say - and now I know it's true -
That there are many friends but only one father
And now that you are far away
I can slowly see you so much better

I never missed you like this before
Step by step, I'm coming back to you

That was all so long ago
But the memories of that time, they are all still here
A whole year is half an eternity
And it's been ages ago, outside the door

That was all so long ago, so infinitely far away
And I've realized that I never, ever lose you
But even though you stay with me, I miss you so much
