For how long do you want to sneak a peak through your neighbor’s window glass?
For always, always
Do you do that so, so you know, it’s only you having a blast?
Not always, not always
For how long do you want your love to stay, though you know that it might end?
Always, always
Can you make it through your life without any helping hand?
Not always, not always
So why do you hesitate, take a step before’s too late
Don’t just step aside, be one step ahead, keep up with your pride
Don’t keep movin’ back
Cause you will not be right in this place always
You will not be right in this place always
For how long do you want to spend your time in virtual galaxies?
Always, always
Don’t you think it pays, every once in a while, to feel the ground underneath your feet?
Not always, not always
Do you really want to give up on your hard-won autonomy?
Not always, not always
Do you put at stake your own fate, leave it up to someone else’s hands?
Not always, not always
So why do you hesitate, take a step before’s too late
Don’t just step aside, be one step ahead, keep up with your pride
Don’t keep movin’ back
Cause you will not be right in this place always
Yeah, you will not be right in this place always
