Hitch-hiking hearts

I've been waiting for permission
At least to say hello when passing
Are you saying that we are strangers now?
Illusion is the pleasure first of all

I see mixed up heads trying to disappear
Unnecessary atmosphere
Daring to catch up all those hitch-hiking hearts
Connect the pieces grown apart

refrain:
Life is made of girls
Life is made of boys
Life is made of games
Disconnected names, oh

What the hell are you waiting for?
Get your orders in before the last call
We all need to rush along
Before we end up alone

Don't be scared about the fireworks
Guess love was not the only thing you didn't know
No point holding on to empty words
Excuse yourself and let go

Open your heart and switch your head off
Start again
And build a new world
Where you might find room for a true home

refrain

Life is all upstream
Powder clouds and cream
Life's not what it seems
Unexpected dreams, oh
