Lyrics and translation
Original
Once you decided that me and the moon are better whenever we're further from you, I got it.
Yeah, I gave you time, baby, I gave you space.
I got a bottle and you got a way right out that door.
Tailpipe sang and that ship we sailed just sank.
And now I need you, but life isn't fair. Out in the deep blue, I'm fighting for air.
Between two more smokes, a few more drinks, I'll be telling a stranger what I really think.
About roses, a dozen of four, and how goodbye threw me right overboard. Don't throw no float,
I'll ride these waves. Yeah, you always wanted me to drown anyways.
I ain't complaining, I'm playing it cool.
I'm good at lying, but better at pool. I called it.
Back pocket, yeah.
Oh, speaking of somebody speaking to me, bartender told me that I gotta leave if I don't stop that old jukebox playing Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.
But I can't 'cause I need you, but life isn't fair. Out in the deep blue, I'm fighting for air.
Between two more smokes, a few more drinks, I'll be telling a stranger what I really think.
About roses, a dozen of four, and how goodbye threw me right overboard.
Don't throw no float, I'll ride these waves.
Yeah, you always wanted me to drown anyways.
And now I need you, but life isn't fair.
Out in the deep blue, I'm fighting for air.
Between two more smokes, a couple more drinks, and I'll be telling a stranger what I really think.
About roses, a dozen of four, and how goodbye threw me right overboard. Don't throw no float, I'll ride these waves.
Yeah, you always wanted me to drown anyways.
