Description
Love here is like a malfunctioning traffic light - sometimes it's green, then suddenly it flashes all colors at once, and then it goes out. No one understands whether to go or stay. Everything seems close, but it's like looking thru glass - you can hear, you can see, but you can't touch. This story doesn't have grand confessions or romantic endings - just a tired "stay, but don't come closer." Habit is stronger than feelings, silence is louder than words. And somewhere between "don't leave" and "don't touch" lies the most honest thing: being stuck on the edge, when it's no longer love, but not yet emptiness.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Arkadaş değiliz, sevgiliyse hiç değiliz. Anca senin istediğine göre şekilleniriz.
Sana nasıl baktığımı görüyorsun ya? Umrumda değil, biliyorum ya.
Yakında, uzakta, aklında olsam ya.
Yakında, uzakta, aklında olsam ya. Gitme başkasıyla olma ama bana da sakın karışma.
Burada dur yanımda ama çok da yaklaşma. Aşık değilim sana ama sen yine de beni bırakma.
Güneş doğduğunda bil ki ben ölmüşüm.
Yoksun orada, var gibi yapma.
Çok uzağa git kal orada.
Özsen hatta daha kolay unutmaktın.
Ya susmaksa sende kalalım bana.
Yakında, uzakta, aklında olsam ya.
Yakında, uzakta, aklında olsam ya. Deli gibi aşığım sana anlasana.
Anlamamak işine geliyor biliyorum ya. Ne olur döndürme en başa.
Çünkü sen çoksun orada.
Öpme, dokunma, sarılma. İzin ver sana kızgınım ama yalvarıyorum bir kere bencil olma.
Çünkü sen çoksun orada.
Yoksun orada, var gibi yapma.
Çok uzağa git kal orada.
Özsen hatta daha kolay unutmaktın.
Ya susmaksa sende kalalım bana.
Yakında, uzakta, aklında olsam ya.
Yakında, uzakta, aklında olsam ya.
English translation
We are not friends, but we are not lovers at all. We can only shape it according to your wishes.
Do you see how I look at you? I don't care, I know.
I wish I were near, far, on your mind.
I wish I were near, far, on your mind. Don't go and be with someone else, but don't interfere with me either.
Stay here next to me, but don't get too close. I'm not in love with you, but don't leave me anyway.
When the sun rises, know that I am dead.
You're not there, don't act like you're there.
Go far away and stay there.
You were even easier to forget.
If silence is your thing, let's stay with me.
I wish I were near, far, on your mind.
I wish I were near, far, on your mind. I'm madly in love with you, understand.
I know it helps you not to understand. Please don't go back to the beginning.
Because there are many of you there.
Don't kiss, touch, hug. Let me be angry with you, but I beg you, don't be selfish for once.
Because there are many of you there.
You're not there, don't act like you're there.
Go far away and stay there.
You were even easier to forget.
If silence is your thing, let's stay with me.
I wish I were near, far, on your mind.
I wish I were near, far, on your mind.
