Once for a while   I was by your side   Standing so close   But we did not smile   I saw you lose control   I saw your system overload      Go away, away, away      In the shadow of that night we cried   Like two lost cars with crashing lights      Once for a while   I was next to you   You looked away   Though you did not move   I wished to hold you near   I tried to reach you inner ear      Stay away, away, away      In the silence of that night we tried   To break the seal to what's inside   Like strangers on familiar land   We navigate but can't understand      Now I'm awake   I can see behind   You were afraid   I was paralyzed   I saw you round the bend   And knew the way that it would end   I wished to hold you near   And cheat the fates of what was clear      Stay away, away, away
