[Intro]
Ten years
Same suitcase
Same sky
Two doors, one name (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Grey block in Berlin
Stamps on my pay slip
Fridge full, heart thin
Clock in, don’t say shit
Neukölln nights, cold wind
Counting these overtime hours
Mama calls from Sisak
Asking if I’m eating, if I’m sour
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m wired to the morning
But my dreams speak Croatian
Every “ja” feels foreign
Every “ich” feels vacant
[Chorus]
Germany feeds me
Croatia loves me
Two hearts, two streets
Tell me which one trusts me
Life at two addresses
Keys on one same ring
Money or love?
Which one do I bring?
Germany feeds me
Croatia loves me
I chase what I can touch
But I bleed for what I miss
[Verse 2]
Old town in Sisak
Rust roofs, river slow
There I’m just my father’s son
Not the guy they barely know
Here I’m just a payroll number
Cheap room, thin wall fights
There it’s Sunday soup and gossip
Warm hands, long nights
Ten years in this concrete
Sent half my soul back home
Built my body in Berlin
Left my laughter by the stone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m wired to the morning
But my dreams speak Croatian
Every “ja” feels foreign
Every “ich” feels vacant
[Chorus]
Germany feeds me
Croatia loves me
Two hearts, two streets
Tell me which one trusts me
Life at two addresses
Keys on one same ring
Money or love?
Which one do I bring?
Germany feeds me
Croatia loves me
I chase what I can touch
But I bleed for what I miss
[Bridge]
I stand in the airport glass (yeah)
Passport in a shaking hand
One line to the working life
One line back to the land
If I choose the bills
Will I lose the names?
If I choose the hills
Will I burn these gains? (tell me)
[Chorus]
Germany feeds me
Croatia loves me
Two hearts, two streets
Tell me which one trusts me
Life at two addresses
Keys on one same ring
Money or love?
Which one do I bring?
Germany feeds me
Croatia loves me
I chase what I can touch
But I bleed for what I miss (what I miss)
