Songtexte: New Order. Republic. Special.

It isn't what it used to be
I wake up every night on the stairs
Waiting for the dawn to come
Every drop of wine, you can be my time

Only tomorrow knows
Why do we beg when we can borrow
This time we knew
No more or less, there's nothing left

It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember but nothing is the same

It wasn't that I didn't try
It's not the kind of thing that you buy
Written in my destiny
Life is but a dream covered by the sky

Stop saying that you're calling time
Look at your life before you start on mine
I'm not the kind of person that you need
I'm sick of trying, I mean that it's over

It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember but nothing is the same

It was always special
It was like water down the drain

Patiently you wait for me, you're so blind
I thought it couldn't be, then changed my mind
Drowning in the endless sea, line all those lines
The traces of your memory, don't you belong with me
