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
Dá mbeadh orm é a bhriseadh síos
Ba mhaith liom a rá gurb é an bealach is breá leat damhsa a dhéanamh
Movin 'an troscán nuair a iompraítear mo dhroim
Titeann flick na soilse agus an domhain ar shiúl
[Chorus]
Agus do phost oifige agus do chuid gruaige airgid
Ach is iad na cruthanna atá againn sa dorchadas ná an fáth ar fhan mé as na blianta seo go léir
[Véarsa 2]
Shíl mé go raibh mé ina genius, ach anois tá mé fiche a dó
Agus tá sé tosaithe 'le mothú mar a fhios agam go bhfuil a fhios agam conas é a dhéanamh
Cuir ar aghaidh é agus tóg amach é
[Chorus]
Le mo dhorn lán de na foinn go bhfuil sé pianmhar a imirt
Worlds Fingernail cosúil le Seashells is fearr leat
Líonann siad suas mo chuid oíche agus ansin snámh siad ar shiúl
[Véarsa 3]
Tá na céadta gowns agam, tá pictiúir agam i bhfrámaí
Agus scornach a líonann le scaoll gach lá féile
Díreach Fallin 'Seachas Banphrionsa na hIorua
[Chorus]
Ach tú, le do slaiseanna arda, do t-léinte gan teorainn
Ba chóir dom a bheith ar eolas agam nuair a bhí an taifead is fearr leat mar an gcéanna le mo athair
Thiocfadh leat mé a thógáil síos
[Véarsa 4]
Is dóigh liom go mbeidh mé i gcónaí ar an mbealach seo
Slogtha suas de réir na bhfocal, agus leathbhealach go spás
Ach ansin, ag an tine, thairg tú do lámh
Agus mar a thóg mé é, bhí grá agam duit, an buachaill leis an bplean
[Chorus]
Fuair tú mé glan mar phéine
An fear leis an tua agus an cuma ina shúile
Tá an oiread sin amanna crua againn
Is amhrán grá duit é, an leanbh
