Are you awake?

Nena (DEU)


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? 
Baby, are you awake? 
Baby, are you awake?
