Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey.

I'm really glad you set this up.

I'm so sorry for what happened.

Oh, wow.

I am really happy to hear that.

I was thinking this conversation was

going to go a lot differently.

I don't know.

It was an honest mistake.

I mean, if I had known you were a cop,

I never would have treated you that way.

So you're sorry for not knowing I was a cop sooner?

Yeah.

And that's it.

Yeah.

But you shouldn't have treated me that way,

whether I was a cop or not.

What do you mean?

I was just walking down the street.

There's nothing suspicious or illegal about that.

OK, but you and I both know, you don't exactly look like you

belong in that neighborhood.

I live there.
