If I had to break it down
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
The flick of the lights and the world falls away
If I had to break it down
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
The flick of the lights and the world falls away
[Chorus]
And your office job and your silver hair
But our shapes in the dark are the reason I've stayed for all these years
[Verse 2]
I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two
And it's startin' to feel like all I know how to do is
Put on a suit and take it away
[Chorus]
With my fist full of tunes that it's painful to play
Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells
They fill up my nights and then they float away
[Verse 3]
I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames
And a throat that fills with panic every festival day
Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway
[Chorus]
But you, with your tall slashes, your infinite t-shirts
I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's
You'd take me down
[Verse 4]
I guess I'll always be this way
Swallowed up by the words, and halfway to space
But there, by the fire, you offered your hand
And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan
[Chorus]
You found me clean as a pine
The man with the axe and the look in his eyes
We've been through so many hard times
I'm writin' a love song for you, baby
Ukube bekufanele ngiyidilize phansi
Ngingathi yindlela othanda ngayo ukudansa
I-Movin 'ifenisha lapho umhlane wami ephendukile
I-Flick of the amalambu kanye umhlaba uyawa
[Chorus]
Kanye nomsebenzi wehhovisi lakho nezinwele zakho zesiliva
Kepha bobunjwa bethu ebumnyameni yisizathu esengihlale kuyo yonke le minyaka
[Ivesi 2]
Bengicabanga ukuthi ngingumuntu onobuhlakani, kepha manje ngineminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili
Futhi ekuqaleni 'ukuzizwa nje njengakho konke engikwaziyo ukukwenza
Faka isudi futhi uyisuse
[Chorus]
Ngenqindi yami egcwele izingoma ezibuhlungu ukudlala
Imibala yeminwe efana nama-seahells owathandayo
Bagcwalisa ubusuku bami bese befafaza
[Ivesi 3]
Nginamakhulu ama-gown, nginemidwebo ngamafreyimu
Nomphimbo ogcwalisa ukwethuka zonke izinsuku zomkhosi
U-Fallin 'uhlukaniswe ngokuzimisela inkosazana yaseNorway
[Chorus]
Kepha wena, ngama-staches akho amade, ama-t-shirts akho angenamkhawulo
Kufanele ngabe ngazi ukuthi irekhodi lakho eliyintandokazi lifana nobaba
Uzongisusa phansi
[Ivesi 4]
Ngicabanga ukuthi ngizohlala nginjalo ngale ndlela
Igxunyekwe ngamagama, futhi uhhafu wesikhala
Kepha lapho, ngomlilo, wanikela isandla sakho
Futhi njengoba ngithathe, ngiyakuthanda, umfana onecebo
[Chorus]
Ungitholile ngihlanzekile njengephayini
Indoda enembazo nokubheka emehlweni akhe
Sibe ngezikhathi eziningi ezinzima
Ngingumbhali 'Ingoma Yothando Yakho, Baby
