Lyrics & Translation

[English]

And I know what you said to me was wrong

But kindness came and bit my tongue

I must admit, the taste of it is keepin' me awake

You did your best to throw me off the scent

Betrayed yourself on accident

I saw it when you lit the filter of your cigarette

And the smoke, it filled your lungs

You left before the sun

First we ever met

You thought I was an asshole

Probably correct

But I can see your shadow

And all the twenty something mannequins

Their hearts are barely broken in

But maybe now I'm just a coward envyin' the brave

And every time you tried to let me in

Your nails, they barely broke the skin

I must admit, the taste of it is keeping me awake

And we passed out on the rug

And you left before the sun

First we ever met

You thought I was an asshole

Probably correct

But I can see your shadow

Only for the night

Only for the weekend

Pour another wine

Take me to your deep end

First we ever met (Silence, oh, the sinner lost his way)

You thought I was an asshole

Probably correct (Livin' for the love of yesterday)

But I can see your shadow ('Cause all alone and all the days)

Only for the night (You're giving up, you hid away)

Only for the weekend

Pour another wine (Livin' for the love of yesterday)

Take me to your deep end

First we ever met

You thought I was an asshole

Probably correct

But I still feel your shadow
