Lyrics and translation
Original
Los
Angeles, 3:33, nothing on the stereo.
Dirty tear like Mona Lisa smiling in the half light.
Mysteriously, but seriously, I'd follow you forever, even without looking.
You call, we come together, even without speaking. You sang for me.
You sang for me.
The picture box is full, and we are kissing in a fistful of fragments falling down. I throw them up and I watch them hit the ground like snow.
Amputated dimension of the physical, melting image without sound.
Park Avenue, 8:38, waving to my best friend like a soldier at the gate. Cheers.
Feels like it's been ten years. Has it only been two years?
Two years feels like forever, but I know you without looking.
You call, we come together, even without speaking. You sang for me.
You sang for me.
The ocean is bright and blue, and it opens to you every day.
It took you in when I pushed you away. It was your lover, it was your mother.
And there is so much that I wish I could have been for you somehow.
But we don't need to talk about that now.
We're finally in a good place, meeting face to face.
On an airplane, 27D, crossing the Grand Canyon that I can't see. I'm headed home from somewhere that I can't be.
Remembering everything. I'd follow you forever, even without looking.
You call, we come together, even without speaking.
I can tell what you are thinking, even without saying. We dream our dreams together, even without laying in the same bed.
And you sang for me. You sang for me.
You sang for me. You sang for me.
