Lyrics
Verse 1:
Nukkumatti lentää yli kaupungin,
heittää unihiekkaa ja sumua sun silmiin.
TV:n satu hiljenee, maailma jää,
vain sydän muistaa miksi se hakkaa.
Pre-Chorus :
Kaksi varjoa, sateen pieksämää,
naurua, joka jää yöhön soimaan.
Parrunpätkät ja Sevillan tuoksu,
me ollaan tarina, jota kukaan ei kirjoita uudestaan.
Chorus :
Stone for a pillow, stars for a sheet,
we dream too loud for the world asleep.
Hold me closer, time can wait —
we’ll miss the morning, but that’s okay.
Verse 2:
Parvekkeella uni hengittää,
yö on tyyni, mut sydän ei jää.
Tuuli kantaa sen, mitä sanoin hiljaa,
leikkii hiuksillas, vie mua mukanaan.
Bridge:
Älä välitä, jos ne katsoo —
me ollaan valoa, jota ei voi sammuttaa.
Sama tyyny, sama huokaus,
aamu odottaa, mut me ei mennä vielä.
Final Chorus:
Stone for a pillow, hearts collide,
this night we sleep on the brighter side.
Tuuli tuule sinne missä muruseni on,
sleep tight, my universe —
we’re already home.
