The book was first published in German on August 1, 1998 through Arche Verlag and follows a romance between a nameless older man and Agnes, a young woman that is almost half his age. Of the book, Stamm commented that he saw the book's landscape and climate as an important way of setting the tone for the novel and its characters.

I've been watching you
Thinking that we should be together
I sit and dream about you
Wishing you would come to me and leave me never
Last night involved (last night involved)
In having mutual attraction
We've got everything (we've got everything)
To live for boy
I'll find a way (I'll find a way)
Maybe today
Hear what I say
It seems like I can't hide
(It seems I can't hide)
The way I feel inside
(The way I feel inside)
And I just wanna say
(And I just wanna say)
Hello, hello, hello
The thing that we could do
If we were all alone together
I like to make you scream
You and me in ecstasy
Boy, forever
It's such a shame
(Oh, such a shame)
To think that you will never know
About this love that I've been saving, boy
I'll find a way
(I will find a way)
Maybe today
Hear what I say
It seems like I can't hide
(It seems I can't hide)
The way I feel inside
(The way I feel inside)
And I just wanna say
(And I just wanna say)
Hello, hello, helloIt seems like I can't hide
(It seems I can't hide)
The way I feel inside
(The way I feel)
And I just wanna say
(And I just wanna say)
Hello, hello, hello
There's nothing wrong
(Oh, there's nothing wrong)
In having mutual attraction
We've got everything (we've got everything)
To live for boy
I'll find a way
(I will find a way)
Maybe today
Hear what I say
It seems like I can't hide
(It seems I can't hide)
The way I feel inside
(The way I feel)
And I just wanna say
(And I just wanna say)
Hello, hello, hello
(Hello)
It seems like I can't hide
(It seems I can't hide)
The way I feel inside
(The way I feel)
And I just wanna say
(And I just wanna say)
Hello, hello, hello
Don't wanna hide it
Cause I can't fight it
Don't wanna hide it
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't wanna hide it
Cause I can't fight it
Don't wanna hide it
Cause I can't fight it
It seems like I can't hide
