is it ok if I ask you to stay?
is it ok if I just say it that way?
is it ok if I just sit here and study the science of the silence?

do you mind if I don’t talk, if I don’t laugh, if I don’t cry?
if I don’t wanna go out with our friends this very day?
I’m not sure but I don’t care
cause I think you know just what I mean when I say

black fades to gray
my thoughts take me away
no reason to stay
cause now i’m going my own way

thinking of those days in the sun
lying in the grass and singing a song
it feels so right this is where I belong

black fades to gray
my thoughts take me away
no reason to stay
cause now i’m going my own way

and there’s no you and there’s no him
and there’s no her and there’s no them
it’s just me

it’s not too difficult to see
when I’m alone, no „I’d rather be“
it’s all me

black fades to gray
my thoughts take me away
no reason to stay
cause now i’m going my own way

my own way
this is just me
when black fades to gray
