Description
Through the smoke and the silence of the night, this song sounds like a torn note that was never sent. It describes a dimly lit room, strangers' glances, hair that changes colour, but memories that do not. It is about someone who is too beautiful for peace, too present to disappear from one's mind.
Here, loneliness is not dramatic, but mundane: strangers' feet, pills on the bedside table, the feeling of being ‘dead’ while alive. And yet there is hope, quiet, almost whispered, that somewhere out there, someone is still waiting. The track cools down like a cigarette, but leaves behind warmth mixed with the smell of pain and a little sweet, adolescent hopelessness.
Lyrics and translation
Original
She makes the boys stare (she makes the boys stare)
At her legs (at her legs)
It's not that I don't care, I swear
You're all in my head (you're all in my head)
Playing with your hair (playing with your hair)
Laying in my bed (laying in my bed)
I got some drugs on the nightstand (on the nightstand)
I feel dead (I feel dead)
I know you're praying for me (I know you're praying for me)
I hope you wait for me, too (wait for me, too)
I know you're praying for me (I know you're praying for me)
I hope you wait for me
Baby, it's no fair (baby, it's no fair)
Girl, I'm a mess
If you drive by, I want you to stop there (stop there)
And give me a kiss (and give me a kiss)
I remember your blonde hair (blonde hair)
I remember your black hair (black hair)
I remember your red hair from last fall
I can't forget 'bout anything at all
She makes the boys stare (she makes the boys stare)
At her legs (at her legs)
It's not that I don't care, I swear
You're all in my head (you're all in my head)
Playing with your hair (playing with your hair)
Laying in my bed (laying in my bed)
I got some drugs on the nightstand (on the nightstand)
I feel dead (I feel dead)
I know you're praying for me (I know you're praying for me)
I hope you wait for me, too (wait for me, too)
I know you're praying for me (I know you're praying for me)
I hope you wait for me
