Lyrics and translation
Original
Walk across the bridge in a strange town.
Feeling like a kid in a strange house.
Pass the old arcade, nervous and afraid.
There's too much hurting in this world for me to smile today.
'Course I am happy you came by.
It's always good to see your strange eyes.
Lift me off the ground, you're good to be around.
But there's too much darkness in my heart for me to love you now.
Bury me in the churchyard where the wildflowers grow.
Tell my friends I love 'em more than I sometimes show.
I think the world is broken and everybody knows it ain't healing.
And this fear we're all feeling, oh, it dies when we're dreaming.
'Cause our dreams, they have meaning, I suppose.
