It's a blue day
We could jump or leap
When I hit that water
When it holds me
It's a blue day
We could jump or leap
When I hit that water
When it holds me
I think about my father
Doin' the same thing
When he was a boy
When he was a boy
It's a blue day
We could go fishing
You'll catch the big one
Ah
[Verse 1]
Slidin' the knife under the skin
Grateful for this offering
And all the livin' things under the sun
Under the sun
[Verse 2]
Little brother, I think you're an angel
I see your silver chain levitate
When you keep flipping
Baby boy, you're super cool
I know you're scared, so was I
But all will be revealed in time (Time, time)
[Verse 3]
Oh, look, the rays are in the bay now
Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around?
I can make anything real
Rays so hot, it's a summer body
Every day is blue and never cloudy
Don't look down
I can make anything real
[Verse 4]
In the future
If I have a daughter
Will she have my waist?
Or my widow's peak?
My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak?
[Verse 5]
Will she swear to die with her lover?
Laugh with the stars like her mother
When she was a girl?
When she was a girl
[Refrain]
Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer
I don't need her anymore
Cause I got this power
I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)
And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)
I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)
And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)
I just had to breathe
And tune in
I just had to breathe
And tune in
I just had to breathe
[Outro: Lorde & Marlon Williams]
Oh, was enlightenment found?
No, but I'm tryin', takin' it one year at a time
Oh, oh, can you hear the sound?
It's shimmerin' higher
On the beach I'm buildin' a pyre
(Used the word brought in by the tide)
I know you'll show me how I'll know when it's time to take off my robe and step into the choir
Lusuku oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Singakwazi ukutsiba okanye ukutsiba
Xa ndibetha amanzi
Xa undibambe
Ndicinga ngotata
Doin 'yinto efanayo
Xa wayeyinkwenkwe
Xa wayeyinkwenkwe
Lusuku oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Singahamba
Uya kubamba enye enkulu
Ah
[Indinyana 1]
I-Slidin 'impuku phantsi kolusu
Unombulelo ngalo mnikelo
Kwaye zonke izinto ze-livin 'phantsi kwelanga
Phantsi kwelanga
[Indinyana 2]
Umkhuluwa omncinci, ndicinga ukuba uyingelosi
Ndibona i-chain yakho yesilivere imbuyekezi
Xa uqhubeka uphosa
Umntwana othandekayo, upholile
Ndiyazi ukuba uyakoyika, kunjalo
Kodwa konke kuya kutyhilwa ngexesha (ixesha, ixesha)
[Indinyana 3]
Owu, jonga, imitha ikwi-bay ngoku
Ngaba uyawava amaza kunye nee-cicadas macala onke?
Ndingenza nantoni na yokwenyani
Imitha ishushu kakhulu, ngumzimba wehlobo
Yonke imihla luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kwaye ungaze unamafu
Sukujonga phantsi
Ndingenza nantoni na yokwenyani
[Indinyana 4]
Kwilixa elizayo
Ukuba ndinentombi
Ngaba uza kunesinqe sam?
Okanye intaba yomhlolokazi yam?
Ngaba iphupha lam lokuphuphuma okanye i-streak yam engendawo?
[Indinyana 5]
Ngaba uya kuqhutywa ukuba afe nesithandwa sakhe?
Hleka neenkwenkwezi ezinjengonina
Xa wayeyintombazana?
Xa wayeyintombazana
[Ukwala]
Ngoku i-cherry qwanqwa emnyama yomlomo
Andimdingi
Kuba ndifumene la mandla
Kudala ndiphefumle (Phefumla ngaphandle, uphefumle ngaphandle, uphefumle)
Kwaye tune kwi (quen ngaphakathi, thula ngaphakathi, thula ngaphakathi)
Kudala ndiphefumle (Phefumla ngaphandle, uphefumle ngaphandle, uphefumle)
Kwaye tune kwi (quen ngaphakathi, thula ngaphakathi, thula ngaphakathi)
Kwakufuneka ndiphefumle
Kwaye ungene ngaphakathi
Kwakufuneka ndiphefumle
Kwaye ungene ngaphakathi
Kwakufuneka ndiphefumle
[I-Outro: Inkosi kunye neMarlon Williams]
Owu, ngaba ulwazi lufumaneka?
Hayi, kodwa ndizama ', i-takin' inye ngonyaka
Owu, owu, ungasiva isandi?
I-shimmerin 'ephezulu
Elunxwemeni ndiyakha i-pyre
(Isebenzise igama elingeniswe yi-tide)
Ndiyazi ukuba uza kundibonisa indlela endizazi ngayo xa ilixesha lokuthatha ingubo yam kwaye ndingene kwikwayala
