Lyrics and translation

Original

The sun set in vain 'cause it found us today feeling the same, cold and closed to love.
And one foot in the past, and one right in tomorrow's grasp.
And baby, we're just pissing on our gloves.
And you don't know just how hard it is to watch.
Go to sleep and your pain punches a clock.
And maybe we're both blue, or even worse, just two people who have too many yesterdays.
And the silence talks back at you.
The window's open just laughing at you, and the words bleed out on the page.
And once you're gone, there is no way out.
Like the cork stabbed into your wine bottle's mouth.
When I go away, you won't hear a sound over all of the bridges burned in your hometown. Well, it's breaking me down.
It's breaking me down.
You play a game where you can't win.
The key is bent, your lock won't open.
And if this ain't proof, man, is it discreet?
Why is heartache outside doing push-ups in the street?
And after one last frown, after one last round, you look into the sky forever.
All you get is a galactic shrug.
And if this ain't proof, man, is it discreet?
Why is heartache outside doing push-ups in the street?
And after one last round, after one last round, we both can be just friends, you want.
But I will love you 'til the cows come home.
