Lyrics & Translation
[English]
(soothing music)
♪ Wish I could say it breaks my heart ♪
♪ Like you did in the beginning ♪
♪ It's not that we grew apart ♪
♪ A nightingale no longer singin' ♪
♪ It's something I know you can't do ♪
♪ Separate sex with emotion ♪
♪ I sleep alone, the sun comes up ♪
♪ You're still clinging to that notion ♪
♪ Everything is slowin' down ♪
♪ River of no return ♪
♪ Recognize my every sound ♪
♪ There's nothin' new to learn ♪
♪ You'll never get my mind right ♪
♪ Like two ships passing in the night ♪
♪ In the night, in the night ♪
♪ Want the same thing when we lay ♪
♪ Otherwise, mine's a different way ♪
♪ A different way from where I'm going ♪
♪ Oh, it's you again ♪
♪ Listen, this isn't a reunion ♪
♪ So sorry if I turn my head ♪
♪ Yours is a familiar face ♪
♪ But that don't make your place safe ♪
♪ In my bed, my bed, my bed ♪
♪ I never thought my memory ♪
♪ Of what we had could be intruded ♪
♪ But I couldn't let it be ♪
♪ I needed it as much as you did ♪
♪ Now, it's not hard to understand ♪
♪ Why we just speak at night ♪
♪ The only time I hold your hand ♪
♪ Is to get the angle right ♪
♪ Everythin' is slowing down ♪
♪ River of no return ♪
♪ Recognize my every sound ♪
♪ There's nothin' new to learn ♪
♪ You'll never get my mind right ♪
♪ Like two ships passing in the night ♪
♪ In the night, in the night ♪
♪ Want the same thing when we lay ♪
♪ Otherwise, mine's a different way ♪
♪ A different way from where I'm going ♪
♪ Oh, it's you again ♪
♪ Listen, this isn't a reunion ♪
♪ So sorry if I turn my head ♪
♪ Yours is a familiar face ♪
♪ But that don't make your place safe ♪
♪ In my bed, my bed, my bed ♪
