Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Darling, I've just left the bar

And I've misplaced all my credit cards

My self preservation and all of my reservations

Are sittin' and contemplatin' what to do with me, do with me

Think I took it way too far

And I'm stumblin' drunk, gettin' in a car

My insecurities are hurtin' me

Someone, please come and flirt with me

I really need a mirror that'll come along and tell me that I'm fine

I do it every time

I keep on hangin' on the line

Ignorin' every warning sign

Come on and make me feel alright again

'Cause it's 3 a.m.

And I'm calling everybody that I know

And here we go again

While I'm runnin' through the numbers in my phone

And yeah, I'll take fake moans and dial tones

Let 'em spill right down the microphone

I need it digital 'cause, baby, when it's physical

I end up alone, end up alone

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I need it digital 'cause, baby, when it's physical

I end up alone, end up alone

Every night I wanna live in color through a white-blue screen

I got a technicolor vision going vivid in my white-blue jeans

I know it's complicated 'cause everyone that I've dated

Says they hate it 'cause they don't know what to do with me, do with me

Know that my identity's always gettin' the best of me

I'm the worst of my enemies and I don't really know what to do with me

Yeah, I don't really know what to do with me

I keep on hangin' on the line

Ignorin' every warning sign

Come on and make me feel alright again

'Cause it's 3 a.m.

And I'm calling everybody that I know

And here we go again

While I'm runnin' through the numbers in my phone

And yeah I'll take fake moans and dial tones

Let 'em spill right down the microphone

I need it digital 'cause, baby, when it's physical

I end up alone, end up alone

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I need it digital 'cause, baby, when it's physical

I end up alone, end up alone

I'm reckless, treated like a necklace

Take a different version and I try it on for size

With everybody that I know

And will you please pick up the fucking phone?

'Cause it's 3 a.m.

And I'm callin' everybody that I know

And here we go again

While I'm runnin' through the numbers in my phone

And yeah, I'll take fake moans and dial tones

Let 'em spill right down the microphone

I need it digital 'cause, baby, when it's physical

I end up alone, end up alone

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I need it digital 'cause, baby, when it's physical

I end up alone

...

Your, your best song

Is a song that's currently on the radio

How many people can say that?

That their best song is the one that's currently about to be a massive hit?

It's already a hit, it's just gonna get more massive

How many people can say it? Not very many

Congratulations!
