Story Behind The Song

Kissing someone and waiting for these violins and flutes to accompany the scene, but everything remains quiet and calm. There is nothing wrong about her at all, but sadly: no butterflies, no violins...

Song Description

Uncertainty about love. Is she the love of my life or not? Thoughts about our relationship, generally slightly ironic.

Lyrics

waiting for the violins


verse1:
you make me feel so grand, but I don´t really understand
why these butterflies have missed their cue

you seem so perfect, almost devine, so „everything i ever dreamt about to be mine"
but my guts stay so calm that it´s hard to believe it to be true

bridge/chorus:
you kissed me and i waited for the violins
but for reasons i don´t know there were no strings
I missed the flutes, there were no horns, all i could hear was a piano in the attic
softly playing, swingin' an' swayin', one of my favourite tunes
but I'm afraid it was not about you, mhmm... not about you...

verse2:
I guess that we could fantasise, for a while before we both realise
it may nice to have some company, to go to the movies

but we know it takes a little more than that, to face life together in a tiny flat
without becoming frenemies for a lifetime

bridge/chorus:
you kissed me and i waited for the violins
but for reasons i don´t know there were no strings at all
there were no flutes, I missed the horns, all i could hear was a piano in the attic
softly playing, swingin' an' swayin', one of my favourite tunes
but I'm afraid it was not about you... mmmh... not about you

It's really not that I don't care... I know -
they say we make a perfect pair... I know -
you think I've lost it... completely

I even like your friends and pets - I guess
This may be just as good as it gets - I confess
I love it when you look at me so sweetly

bridge/chorus:
you kissed me and i waited for the violins
but for reasons i don´t know there were no strings
at all...
