Sehnsucht

[Verse 1] You text me at two like it’s casual Blame it on wine and nostalgia You say you’ve been “thinking ’bout us” How convenient, now you’re lonely again Yeah, I’ve played this episode twice Spoiler: you never arrive Just credits and typing dots Rolling over my tired eyes [Chorus] Sehnsucht You love the longing more than me You just want someone to miss you Not someone you have to meet Sehnsucht You keep me always out of reach You’re addicted to the aching I’m just part of your routine [Verse 2] You call it “our complicated thing” I call it emotional lazy You decorate distance with pretty words Then vanish when it gets messy (classic) You say that you “dream of my face” But never show up in daylight You worship the ghost of my touch Not the work it takes to stay, right? [Chorus] Sehnsucht You love the longing more than me You just want someone to miss you Not someone you have to meet Sehnsucht You keep me always out of reach You’re addicted to the aching I’m just part of your routine [Bridge] I’m done being your favorite almost Your someday, your halfway home If you want me, then walk here barefoot Or leave this fantasy alone (yeah) ’Cause I’m tired of being your daydream Pinned to the back of your mind I want touch, not theory Show up or fall behind [Chorus] Sehnsucht You love the longing more than me You just want someone to miss you Not someone you have to meet Sehnsucht You keep me always out of reach You’re addicted to the aching I’m not part of your routine [Outro] Sehnsucht Looks better on you than truth So keep your perfect distance I’ll keep my heart from you
