Description
Love addiction is almost a medical condition. It's as if your whole body has been replaced by devices that measure the level of your ex in your blood. Your appetite disappears, your sleep is disrupted, the air crackles with his name, and your friends no longer know how to treat you - with tea and honey or a lobotomy.
Somewhere between the bar counter and the laundry room, a strange cleansing takes place - of words, of clothes, of hope. It feels like you're washing your heart, but the stain still shows through: right on your chest, in time with the old refrain.
And you seem to understand that the story was black and white, but for some reason your memory adds colour. Especially grey - that very shade of farewell, in which summer turned into autumn.
Lyrics and translation
Original
You promise it's different
You swear that you listened
I don't mind if you didn't
'Cause I just love the sound of your voice
You role-play the good guy
Lemon juice your white lies
But I see 'em in the sunrise
You got me right in the palm of your hand, and you know it
Oh, it's what you do
So let me drown, I'll be there with the band, hit the sea bed
All I'd see is you
So give me your worst excuses, any reason to stay
Give me your lips, the taste of her, I'll kiss them again
I'd rather you walk all over me than walk away
Give me the worst of you
'Cause I want you anyway
So take me to every party and just talk to your friends
Why don't you let me down, I'll let you do it again
Go on and walk all over me, just don't walk away
Give me the worst of you
'Cause I want you anyway
We make up, but I know
We'll fistfight through iPhones
My left hook, a no-show
'Cause I'll just keep letting you in
But baby, the truth is
I make your excuses
You let me down, and I'm used to it
You got me right in the palm of your hand, and you know it
Oh, it's what you do
So let me drown, I'll be there with the band, hit the sea bed
All I'd see is you, oh
So give me your worst excuses, any reason to stay
Give me your lips, the taste of her, I'll kiss them again
I'd rather you walk all over me than walk away
Give me the worst of you
'Cause I want you anyway
So take me to every party and just talk to your friends
Why don't you let me down, I'll let you do it again
Go on and walk all over me, just don't walk away
Give me the worst of you
'Cause I want you anyway
Anyway
Anyway
'Cause I want you anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Another night, another dotted line
I sign my heart
Away to you, some call it foolish
Guess I'll call it art
