Encounter

I don't dare to look up
I don't dare to look you in the face
I'm searching for something to rest my eyes on
some resting spot in the space

I can't swallow the lump that's in my throat
the words I'd like to speak, they seem so remote
the only thing I'm able to do
is to pet the dog

Chorus (repeat 2x):
I can't figure out myself
I can't figure out myself
I can't figure out myself
I can't figure out myself

I'd love to talk to you, but I can't find my voice
The conversation's running in my head
in an imaginary voice
I work up all my courage and ask you for a walk
but you, you say, you'd better go

Chorus (repeat 2x)
