[Intro]
(Stickle)
[Chorus]
I wish we could go back to the way we used to be
Driving without a license towards the Mediterranean with you
Yeah, I forget many things, but certainly not your name
But maybe it's not meant to be, and we really don't fit together
I wish we could go back to the way we used to be
Driving without a license towards the Mediterranean with you
Open the window and drive along the coast
I know I'll see you again, if I only knew when
[Verse 1]
From Berlin Kreuzbеrg to Italy in just one night
Steer the car onto the highway hеading towards your city
Across the border through the Alps, listening to Die Drei Fragezeichen
And the landscape changes as if it were different seasons
You write: "How much longer do you need?", I send you my live location
Doing 125 MPH through the Brenner, our playlist on rotation
Already experienced so much, so many years play back in my mind
Without you, I feel poor, even though I have a penthouse now
Long night, I pull through and see the rising sun
Wondering where I can have a smoke and get a coffee now
Dawn, off-ramp, Autogrill, espresso
Cali and ciabatta, fill up the car at the Esso
[Chorus]
I wish we could go back to the way we used to be
Driving without a license towards the Mediterranean with you
Yeah, I forget many things, but certainly not your name
But maybe it's not meant to be, and we really don't fit together
I wish we could go back to the way we used to be
Driving without a license towards the Mediterranean with you
Open the window and drive along the coast
I know I'll see you again, if I only knew when
[Verse 2]
Turn off towards the coast, see the sea again after a long time
That's why I'd rather drive my car and not take a plane
But no matter where I go, I miss my city
My friends, my street, my hood, my shabab
Drive mode: sport plus, baby, I'm in a hurry
And she writes: "Don't drive too fast," but, unfortunately, that's unavoidable
Our life is crazy, none of us sit at a desk
I make a stop in a small town, meet a boy and have a chat
But afterwards, straight on, can't wait to see you
I turn into your street and bring the car to a halt
Then I'll be lying on the beach with you under a Gucci umbrella
I'm on my phone, sunglasses, texting my supplier
[Chorus]
I wish we could go back to the way we used to be
Driving without a license towards the Mediterranean with you
Yeah, I forget many things, but certainly not your name
But maybe it's not meant to be, and we really don't fit together
I wish we could go back to the way we used to be
Driving without a license towards the Mediterranean with you
Open the window and drive along the coast
I know I'll see you again, if I only knew when
