Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Isn't it funny how I was nearly falling out?

Tryna wrap my head around you

You kept me running, knowing I could never pin you down

Always trailing right behind you

And I wish I never did it

And I wish I never knew

Did it ever even happen if there's no proof?

You know I'm happy now

Still you like to come around

Neither one is telling the truth

Tracing it back to the start

For some reason the car never made it out of park

It's not easy

How you linger on me

All the words that we left unsaid got underneath my skin

Call me crazy

I feel the tables turning

I'm the one playing in your head when you can't sleep

Isn't it funny I'm thinking of another time?

Sneaking out so I could see you

Though you were never mine, maybe in another life

You might even see the plans through

And I wish I could forget it

But the wishing doesn't change

Kinda wish that you would call me when you're in L.A.

'Cause if we talk it out

Nothing left to talk about

Maybe I just need a clean break

It's not easy

How you linger on me

All the words that we left unsaid got underneath my skin

Call me crazy

I feel the tables turning

I'm the one playing in your head when you can't sleep

I pictured us getting older

I pictured us, but I get it now

Was hanging on to potential

I pictured you moving closer

Just seventeen, would've settled down

Was hanging on to potential

It's not easy

How you linger on me
