lyrics

When I was 17 my life seemed very simple to me,
A kind of rollercoaster ride.
But now it’s not the same,
Everything’s changed so quickly for me,
I live in complicated times.

So, try making me laugh, try making me smile.
Try keeping my head on one thing for a while -
It’s much easier than it seems, am I in a dream?
I look to the waters glisten, open my heart and listen,
Put the shell to my ear, hear the sea,
I am I-N-L-O-V-E again.

I used to drift along, the happy son of little questions,
That I found easy to resolve.
Now hardly a week goes by without me finding some new problem,
That it’s impossible to solve.

So, try making me laugh, try making me smile.
Try keeping my head on one thing for a while –
Try to understand my conceits,
Try deceiving me with belief
It’s much easier than it seems, must be in a dream.
I look to the waters glisten, open my heart and listen,
Put the shell to my ear, hear the sea,
I am I-N-L-O-V-E again.
