Description

The world is hurtling forward somewhere, while inside, there's a light storm of "okay" and "not today." It feels like life has offered to repeat the old level, but this time without hints. In the background, there are unanswered calls and thoughts that won't let go until you come up with a beautiful rhyme for them. Everything seems to be moving forward, but something is still stuck between "it was good" and "I won't change." This song has a lot of air and a little weariness - the kind that smells of cigarettes, someone else's laughter, and the promise not to write first. A circular dance where each "okay" is a shield and each "kiss" is an attempt to believe again that everything can be started from scratch if you just turn off your phone and wait a little.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da (listen to me)

Da-da-da-da (you're just uncomfortable)

I'll find in love with the next one, it'll be so good with a good one

I thought it, wrote about it, crawled up out it, onto the next one

I pulled that tarot card, that one with the mystic heart

A map of treasures, good things come to those who wait, okay

Okay, okay, okay, it's just not my day

Okay, okay, okay, what you wanna say?

You're just, you're just uncomfortable bein' with somebody who's good for you

She says it's just my nature, and she says it like I'll never change

(Like I'll never change, like I'll never change)

(Like I'll never change, like I'll never change)

World is spinnin', I'm not dizzy, call you, but your telephone busy

I been thinkin', do you miss me? Does my memory make you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Do you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Yeah, yeah, yeah) do you wanna kiss me?

World is spinnin', I'm not dizzy, call you, but your telephone busy

I been thinkin', do you miss me? Does my memory make you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Do you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Does my memory make you wanna kiss me?)

You're ridin' 'round with the top down, I smoke, I drink 'til you come 'round

We try to sugarcoat it, then restoke it, smoke that thing now

Big heart that I tore apart, this one's gonna leave a scar

Already messed it up, so I don't hesitate, okay

Okay, okay, okay, it's just not my day

Okay, okay, okay, what you wanna say?

You're just, you're just uncomfortable bein' with somebody who's good for you (uh-huh)

She says it's just my nature, and she says it like I'll never change, oh

(Like I'll never change, no-no, like I'll never change, don't think so)

(Like I'll never change, like I'll never change, whoo)

World is spinnin', I'm not dizzy, call you, but your telephone busy

I been thinkin', do you miss me? Does my memory make you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Do you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Yeah, yeah, yeah) do you wanna kiss me?

World is spinnin', I'm not dizzy, call you, but your telephone busy

I been thinkin', do you miss me? Does my memory make you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Do you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Does my memory make you wanna kiss me?)

I'll never change

I'll never change

I won't ever change

Like I'll never change

I'll never change, I'll never change

I'll never change, I won't ever change

World is spinnin', I'm not dizzy, call you, but your telephone busy (whoo)

I been thinkin', do you miss me? Does my memory make you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Do you wanna kiss me?

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Do you wanna kiss me?
