Lirieke: Nena. Are You Awake.

A quarter after midnight
I?m half-past out of reason
Our bodies still entwined from making love
While you?re asleep I tell you what I?m thinking of

In our apartment all the rooms
Have taken on your personality
The living room has overshadowed me
I feel as restless as these bedroom sheets

My inhibitions disappear
Suddenly the words escape
And I make-belive you?re listening (I say:)
Baby, are you awake

My concentration flutters
Like a candle?s temperamental flame
Can?t talk to you - can?t tell you
Can?t share this little hell with you

You?re slipping through my fingers
I?m falling from your arms
And when I whisper all the secrets that I keep
You probably think I?m talking in my sleep

All my inhibitions disappear
Suddenly the words escape
And I make-belive you?re listening (I say:)
Baby, are you awake

You reach for me and call my name
And softly breathe against my skin
Your voice is echoing familiar sentences
Ohh - You?ve been listening to every word I said

All my inhibitions disappear
Suddenly the words escape
And I make-belive you?re listening (I say:)
Baby, are you awake
