Once we were lovers
Once we were friends
Now we are nothing
Excuses and amends
The waves are coming to forget us
The waves will wash us all away
The waves are coming to forget us
Will I remember them?
One night I dreamt I was an X-men
And oh, was I hated from this world to the next
And when I woke up I remembered
I was confused, I was aghast
That I had lost my superpowers
The only good thing my dream had
Oh, when I look in the mirror
At all the strangers that will never come home
Oh will I happen to leave Berlin
If not in heart, then at least in my soul?
The waves are coming to forget us
The waves will wash us all away
The waves are coming to forget us
Oh, but I'll remember them
