Description
Sometimes love isn't butterflies, but suitcases you never get around to unpacking. When saying goodbye becomes a habit, and every flight sounds like betrayal. A room with identical walls always smells like someone else's air, even if you know where the light switches are hidden. The phone saves you from loneliness for exactly three messages, then pulls you back home - where you can close the windows together and not be afraid of being late.
Here, it's all about fatigue from distance, about people who are always ‘in touch’ but never close by. And about that warm stubbornness when you want to spit on the schedule, leave the driver waiting and just stay - at least for one night longer than you should.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm packing my bags that I didn't unpack the last time.
I'm saying, "See you again" so many times it's becoming my tagline.
'Cause you know the truth, I'd rather hold you than try to catch this flight.
So many things I'd rather say but for now, it's goodbye.
You say I'm always leaving.
You get used to leaving.
But the, the car's outside but I don't wanna go tonight.
I'm not getting in the Uber this Sunday unless you pack your bags.
You're coming with me.
I'm tired of loving from afar and never being where you are.
Close the windows, lock the doors. Don't wanna leave you anymore.
I'm staring at the same four walls in a different hotel.
It's an unfamiliar feeling but I know it so well.
Oh, but you know the truth, I'd rather hold you than this mobile in my hand.
But I guess it'll do 'cause for you I would run up my phone bill.
You say I'm always leaving.
You when you need me the most.
But the, the car's outside but I don't wanna go tonight.
I'm not getting in the Uber this Sunday unless you pack your bags.
You're coming with me.
I'm tired of loving from afar and never being where you are.
Close the windows, lock the doors. Don't wanna leave you anymore.
Ooh, ooh, oh. Ooh, ooh, oh.
Ooh, ooh, oh.
Don't wanna leave you anymore.
Oh, darling, all of the city lights never shine as bright as your eyes.
I would trade them all for a minute more but the car's outside and he's called me twice.
But he's gonna have the words tonight.
I'm not getting in the Uber this Sunday unless you pack your bags.
You're coming with me.
I'm tired of loving from afar and never being where you are. Close the windows, lock the doors.
Don't wanna leave you anymore.
Ooh, ooh, oh. Ooh, ooh, oh.
Ooh, ooh, oh.
Don't wanna leave you anymore. I don't wanna leave you.
I don't wanna leave you. I don't wanna leave you.
Don't wanna leave you anymore.
