[Verse 1] I lost you. I lost myself in the room where you are not. The door is left half open to yesterday. I step inside— but yesterday is empty. Today. (Yesterday is gone.) Arlette! (Arlette!) No answer. Only the walls answer back. (Arlette!) A thousand coloured flowers come falling from the ceiling, and every single one has your face. I run into the hallway and the hallway stretches longer. The hallway turns to ocean. The ocean turns to bed. The bed turns into earth. And underneath the earth your heart is beating. (Your heart beats in my dream.) [Pre-Chorus] But here, here I am alone. LOST. LOST. LOST. (Lost) (Lost) I lost you. I lost your life. I lost my life. I lost our future. [Chorus] Lost. Lost. Lost. LOST. (Lost) (Lost) I lost you. Lost. Lost. Lost. And you remain out of sight. Lost. Lost. Lost. My name falls apart. Lost. Lost. Lost. I call for you at night. [Verse 2] I search for you inside the clock. I find only my name. I search for you inside the mirror. There I am. So I dream you into being. I blink— and there I am alone. I blink again. Nobody. The moon hangs upside down outside your bedroom window. She whispers, almost fiercely: “Eddy, go to sleep.” (Go to sleep, man.) But sleep is dangerous. Because inside my dreams you are still alive. So I stay awake just to lose you all over again every night. [Pre-Chorus] The floor is breathing. The flowers are watching. The chairs know. And somewhere behind the wall a voice is singing: You are lost. [Chorus] Lost. Lost. Lost. I lost you. Lost. Lost. Lost. LOST. (Lost) (Lost) And you remain out of sight. Lost. Lost. Lost. My name falls apart. Lost. Lost. Lost. I call for you at night. [Bridge] I say: Yes. Because you were my home and now there is only the house. You were my direction and now every compass spins. You were my fire and now I carry a frozen sun inside my chest. Arlette! (Arlette!) (Arlette!) Your name falls from my mouth like a bird without wings. I catch it. I press it to my heart. It dies there anyway. [Final Chorus] Lost. Lost. Lost. I am orphaned. Lost. Lost. Lost. LOST. (Lost) (Lost) Inside my own life. Lost. Lost. Lost. The world keeps turning. Lost. Lost. Lost. Neither you nor I. Our life has fallen out of time. Goodbye, Arlette— my wife, my home, my fire.
