Odyssey – English Lyrics

• By: Beck, Phoenix

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Take my time to find my mind

Don't have time to go back to zero

And wait for yesterday

Summer days flowers waste

I'm on fire, welcome to your life

Don't look the other way

Wheels of fortune

Run the course across the track

If only I could feel the warmth across my back

Didn't I treasure most?

Didn't I wreck the most?

Didn't I feel this close?

Don't look the other way

Somewhere

We'll fall into the ocean

I'll be there

On an odyssey in the sun

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, you might have to lose to win

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, you might have to lose to win

Before you came into the light

It was always so bright

And now I'm not trying

To look the other way

Count to ten

Renovate my life

The savior a la mode

A photo op is imminent

Somewhere

We'll fall into the ocean

I'll be there

On an odyssey in the sun

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, you might have to lose to win

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, you might have to lose to win

A hornet's nest of blessings

I confess it's messing

With my mind the way

We live and die in a day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (summer odyssey)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (summer odyssey)

A catastrophic longing

All these thoughts are drawing

Lost inside the gnawing feeling

I'm not okay

An odyssey

Tell me all you see

An odyssey

Tell me all you see

An odyssey

Tell me all you see

An odyssey

Tell me all you see

Somewhere

We'll fall into the ocean

I'll be there

On an odyssey in the sun

Somewhere (somewhere)

We'll fall into the ocean

I'll be there (I'll be there)

On an odyssey in the sun
