lyrics

I saw what I saw you promised by nightfall that you’d call me
I saw what I saw you promised by nightfall that you’d call me

Is there someone there around a stormy afternoon
I could not fall asleep (I’m taking this sensibly)
Cause they’re almost perfect, no questions or concerns for you not hopefully
But we didn’t get too far, swing by the deli across the bar that you found on the street (and right on the edge of town)
Can you tell them apart, take out the pennies from the jar my number’s on the screen

You stand on the edge of the doorway
You heard from your friend back from Norway

I saw what I saw you promised by nightfall that you’d call me
That’s not what I thought I was dead wrong when you first thought we resolved this
There’s nothing to learn from I’m so messed up
All these words can seem so methodic
So next time you call me on my cellphone I’ll be waiting out Supersonic

Bueno, cómo puedo empezar para decir
Es muy difícil definir describir y construir estas palabras para seguir hablando contigo
Yo prefiero tu amistad tras un momento emocional
Cómo tanto que ni pudieras imaginar, eso sería gran
Si me puedes contestar en aire fresco en Bogota
O de verdad, cualquier otra cuidad que puedes inventar, vamos pa allá

Don’t stand on the edge of the doorway
You’ll hurt both your hands as it’s closing

I saw what I saw you promised by nightfall that you’d call me (am I gonna take it every time)
That’s not what I thought I was dead wrong when you first thought we resolved this (am I gonna take it all this time)
There’s nothing to learn from I’m so messed up
All these words can feel so chaotic
So next time you call me on my cellphone I’ll be waiting out in the hallway

I saw what I saw you promised by nightfall that you’d call me (am I gonna take this every time)
That’s not what I thought I was dead wrong when you first thought we resolved this (am I gonna hate this all this time)
There’s nothing to learn from I’m so messed up
When you look at me so hypnotic
So next time you call me on my cellphone I’ll be hanging out on the dance floor
