Description

Every word here conveys a sense of desperation, pleading, “Just for today, let's not refuse.” The coldness in the eyes, the masks, the constant “not the right time” and “not meant to be” - all of this makes one want to break it down with a simple “yes,” which suddenly becomes more important than a thousand “no's.”

The music revolves around the fatigue of loneliness: the clown's tears have dried, the mistakes have been rewritten in the textbook, but the heart still demands a second chance. Even if the stakes are too high, one night without pretense is worth a lifetime of waiting.

The result is a “do or die” confession, where instead of postcard romance, there is a real thirst for warmth, even if only temporary.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Don’t turn around
Don’t look away
I can see the fire in your eyes
You try to play this stupid game
Like acting cold as ice
A cool disguise
Tell me what it takes to make you mine
I gotta know if I’m just wasting my time
I need a night when things go right
Sometimes your fate can grant a favor
Come on and take a chance with me baby
Maybe the times may not be right
But all I know is
I’d give my life just for a night
I know what love is
I wanna hear somebody’s “yes” instead “never”
Don’t fly away
Let’s find a way
To last forever
I’ve been alone
So fucking long
I’ve cried the tears of a clown
I need a break from my mistakes
But that’s the price of starting over
How many times is one time too many?
Maybe the times may not be right
But all I know is
I’d give my life just for a night
I know what love is
I wanna hear somebody’s “yes” instead “never”
Don’t fly away
Let’s find a way
To last forever
I know I’m not the only one who’s feeling lonely
No matter where you wanna go, I’ll be there
Tell me what it takes to make you mine
I gotta know if I’m just wasting my time
I need a night when things go right
Sometimes your fate can grant a favor
Come on and take a chance with me baby
Maybe the times may not be right
But all I know is
I’d give my life just for a night
I know what love is
I wanna hear somebody’s “yes” instead “never”
Don’t fly away
Let’s find a way
To last forever
Don’t fly away
Let’s find a way
To last forever
I know I’m not the only one who’s feeling lonely
No matter where you wanna go, I’ll be there
