Description
The words revolve around that very ‘almost said’ that got stuck in my throat and never came out. Instead of conversation, there is silence; instead of reconciliation, there is a timid fantasy about how easy it would be to wake up next to someone and forget all the cracks for a while. There is tenderness, awkwardness, and that strange feeling when the past seems to be over, but still lingers, nudging you and reminding you of itself in the most mundane details. The music turns this into a quiet but persistent desire to return to the beginning once more.
Lyrics and translation
Original
You told me something when I left but I don't remember
Maybe 'cause all I could do then was stare at the floor
I held myself 'cause you wouldn't, all wrapped in my sweatshirt
Wonder if you even noticed that that one was yours
And maybe I should've but I never told you, "I'm sorry"
Know that I tried but my words always got in the way
Could you hold me without any talking?
We could try to go back where we started
I don't even have to stay
I don't even have to stay, but
If I woke up with you in the morning
I'd forget all the ways that we're broken
I don't care if you've changed
I don't even have to stay, huh
I don't remember the last time I heard from your sister
Didn't expect to but I sorta thought that I would
Wish I could tell you by now that I felt more indifferent
Catch myself thinking about you more than I should
And maybe I should've but I never told you I miss you
I almost said it but don't know if you feel the same
Could you hold me without any talking?
We could try to go back where we started
I don't even have to stay
I don't even have to stay, but
If I woke up with you in the morning
I'd forget all the ways that we're broken
I don't care if you've changed
I don't even have to stay, huh
