Lyrics and translation
Original
I remember where we were when you said it
And I'll never forget it
I remember everything about our hotel rooms
With the double-locked doors in between
And how I couldn't breathe when you left
Filled with a mixture of thrill and regret and guilt and desire
The way you talked to me was wild and true
That half-smile and that glow in you
Your faded blue wagon, your steely-eyed stare
Your signature salt and pepper hair
You said, "Is this the house?"
I said, "Yeah, that's me right there"
But I didn't get out
Maybe I'm just better at living with it than you are
But I'm the one crying in my car
Telling you to go when I want you to stay
Maybe I'm getting in my own way
Or maybe I'm too afraid to throw it all away
I remember where we were when you said it
And I'll never forget it
I remember everything about our whispered
Calls when everyone else was asleep
Disarmingly honest with those weathered features
You said, "You know I love you, right?"
And you reached for your t-shirt
I still have your number and I'll never delete it
Do you still have mine?
Maybe I'm just better at living with it than you are
But I'm the one crying in my car
Telling you to go when I want you to stay
Maybe I'm getting in my own way
Or maybe I'm too afraid
Maybe I'm just better at living with it than you are
But I'm the one crying in my car
Telling you to go when I want you to stay
Maybe I'm getting in my own way
Or maybe I'm too afraid to throw it all away
