Das Tempo von Rost [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Our photos are like photos of strangers

Are suspected of being fakes

Was that really me and is that really you?

And did we really do it all?

Have drunk by night

Putting this lock on

Believed in tomorrow

But we didn't think about tomorrow

[Chorus]

Only the lock on the bridge is still there

Rusted around the edges, but you can still see it clearly

The names of us, you know we hoped

You and I never part or only

With the speed of rust

With the tempo of rust

[Verse 2]

When did we lose sight of each other?

When did we stop counting the days

We almost didn't care the first time

That one was missing in the cab to bed

We've rushed through the years

Dipped in their light there

And at some point we needed more than just each other

[Chorus]

Only the lock on the bridge is still there

Rusty around the edges, but you can still see it clear

The names of us, you know we hoped

You and I never part or only

With the speed of rust

At the speed of rust

[Bridge]

On the right before the bridge, there used to be a bar

And to the left of it an abandoned house

But nothing in this town or in my head

Looks the same as it did when I was with you

[Chorus]

Only the lock on the bridge is still there

Rusted around the edges, but you can still see it clearly

The names of us, you know we've hoped

You and I never part or only

With the speed of rust

At the speed of rust
