Description
It's like sweet and bitter at the same time: a taste that makes your head spin, but you still reach for more. It seems to be about friendship, but in reality, it's about that very hole inside, where there is always a sense of absence. Tenderness hides in sharpness, and jokes hide in cracks through which you can see childhood pain. You listen and understand: other people's issues often rhyme with your own, even if you try very hard not to admit it.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Take you like a drug.
I taste you on my tongue.
You ask me what I'm thinking about.
I tell you that I'm thinking about whatever you're thinking about.
Tell me something that I'll forget, and you might have to tell me again. It's crazy what you'll do for a friend.
Go ahead and cry little girl. Nobody does it like you do.
I know how much it matters to you.
I know that you got daddy issues. And if you were my little girl,
I'd do whatever I could do. I'd run away and hide with you.
I know that you have daddy issues, and I do too.
I tried to write your name in the rain, but the rain never came. So I made with the silence.
The shame always comes at the worst times.
You ask me what I'm thinking about.
I tell you that I'm thinking about whatever you're thinking about.
Tell me something that I'll forget, and you might have to tell me again.
It's crazy what you'll do for a friend.
Go ahead and cry little girl. Nobody does it like you do.
I know how much it matters to you.
I know that you got daddy issues.
And if you were my little girl,
I'd do whatever I could do.
I'd run away and hide with you.
I know that you have daddy issues. I keep on trying to let you go.
I'm dying to let you know how I'm getting on.
I didn't cry when you left at first. But now that you're dead it hurts.
This time I gotta know, where did my daddy go? I'm not entirely here.
Help me not disappear.
Go ahead and cry little boy. You know what your daddy did to you.
You know what your mama went through.
You gotta let it out soon, just let it out. Go ahead and cry little girl.
Nobody does it like you do.
I know how much it matters to you.
I know that you got daddy issues.
And if you were my little girl,
I'd do whatever I could do. I'd run away and hide with you.
I know that you have daddy issues, and I do too. And if you were my little girl,
I'd do whatever I could do. I'd run away and hide with you.
I know that you got daddy issues, and I do too.
