Citizen girl, I wish you were the one that knocks on my door
You have awaken all these feelings
All these dreams that were past, gone, forgotten, and no

I was wrong, plain wrong
It was just a spark, your name whispered by my mind
A second before going to sleep, and like a broken dam
All those memories came back

And I dreamt again of you; of your scent
Summers, infinite summer days by your side
My hands running free and the beach and the waves and the foam exploding on the rocks
And you there; just there, the sand covering your body, just the sand, glorious silky sand
And me desperately building castles, sand castles I say, sand castles

From far away you came back to me, from an inner distance
My soul
I hardly could recognize you; already mine in my mind
You, the one that hides behind my dreams
The one that awaits me at the turn of every corner

Citizen girl, master of my lonely nights
Isolated, lonesome; I dream of you
I could swim in you as if you were a deep borderless sea
Your eyes guiding me from the streets of the city to the deep abyss of my bed sheets
Oh, the same chance that brought me to you; the same wheel of fortune
That went round and round and round around my life combined my anxiety
With your indifference

You will meet me again, soon citizen girl, soon, I guess
I know the city will bring you back to me
I am standing in a corner where all streets converge; you cannot be lost
You could not pretend that you took the wrong turn
And that you could never reach me again
You could not claim that you missed the road
If you are looking for love the streets of the city will lead you

You have to come back to me before the rain of April washes your tracks from the asphalt
Your stealthy steps always wanting to surprise me
I hear them, still in my chest, sometimes near, sometimes far away
Further perhaps, but still within the reach of my memories
Despite the fog that covers them

You in my heart always playing that nasty game
Which one is the stronger?
You, always protected behind that crystal
I can see you, but how could I reach you? How could I get closer to you? Never

Citizen girl, you have defeated me; I will open my door to you again
I know that life happens within two circles
The city breathes within those circles
An inner and an outer circle
Everything happens in both, the inner and the outer
You must choose which side you are in
You have to choose the circle of life that fits you better

But be aware; there are different things going on in the inner circle
Different things happening in the outer circle
In either of them life is a purified ideal where nothing can be mixed
Worlds; two different worlds where you and I are nothing
I am within one of these circles
The possibilities, the chances; the incognito
The line of dots that moves the future

You and I together, so long ago
You and I tomorrow; or perhaps never
Yesterday destroyed the love that took me so much of a future to build
Yesterday you did not exist; today I try to rebuild you

Citizen girl, your image floats on the delicate crystal of my heart
Nothing comes from you, however
A mysterious wind, a foe disliked our union
And blew off the flame that burned in the candle
Oh, now I understand that you are coming back from far away
I understand that you want to live within me once again
I know the roads you walk; I know those roads will bring you back to me
I still do love you but I cannot welcome you

I don’t know, citizen girl, I don't know
I do know there are no roads that can take me back to you
You have to learn to live without me
I have to learn to live without you
