Lyrics
We were in a race to grow up
– Per ‘generationem aliquam’ augmentationem
Yesterday, through today, ’til tomorrow
– Heri, per hodie, ‘ donec cras
But when the plant blew up
– Et quando cogitabis bene facere
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you
– A fragmen shrapnel volavit et slowed quae pars vobis
The doctors gave you until the end of the night
– Medici tibi dederunt usque ad finem noctis
But not ’til daylight (Not ’til daylight), not ’til daylight (Not ’til daylight)
– Sed non “donec lux (Non ‘Dies’), non ‘donec lux (Non ‘dies’)
Time passes slower in the flicker of the hospital light
– Tempus tardius transit in flammis hospitalis lucis
I pray the race is worth the fight
– Oro genus pugnae pretium est
Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street
– Stultus factus est mihi in Via Tennessee
It wasn’t pretty like the movies
– Non erat pulchra sicut movies
It was ugly, like what they all did to me
– Deformis erat, sicut quod omnes mihi fecerunt
And they did to me what I wouldn’t do to anyone
– Et fecerunt mihi quod non facerem alicui
You know that’s for sure
– Vos scitis quod suus certus
Tell me all the time not to worry
– Dic mihi omne tempus non solliciti
And think of all the time I’ll, I’ll have with you
– Et cogitant ex omni tempore ego youll ‘ have vobiscum
When I won’t wake up on my own (Wake up on my own), wake up on my own
– Si nondum vidisti, vide; quem ego (nam me paenitet tarditatis) proxime vidi.
Held close all the time, knowing I’m half of you
– Prope omni tempore tenuit, sciens me dimidium vestrum
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm)
(Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– ( Mm mm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
– (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm)
Lay me down where the trees bend low
– Ponite me ubi arbores humiles flectunt
Put me down where the greenery stings
– Voluptatem unde asperiores asperiores
I can hear them singin’
– Ego autem cantabo’
“To love me is to suffer me”, and I believe it
– “Amare me est pati”, et credo
When I lay with you in that auld lang room
– Et ego quando recordatus fuero pertimesco langvesdt]
Wishin’ I was the way you say that you are
– Wishin ‘ ego eram in via quae dicis tu es
You’ll go fight a war, I’ll go missing
– Ibo tibi pugnare bellum, ego vadam absentis
I warned you, for me, it’s not that hard
– Et dixit ad me: non est hoc difficile
That picture on the wall you’re scared of looks just like you
– Staffa per montaggio a muro te terrebis vultus amo te
I wanna bleed, I wanna hurt the way that boys do
– Volo sanguinem, volo laedere viam quam pueri faciunt
Maybe you’re right and we should stop watchin’ the news
– Forsitan ius es et debemus prohibere watchin ‘ nuntium
‘Cause, baby, I’ve never seen brown eyes look so blue
– ‘Causa, infans, oculos fuscos numquam vidi tam caeruleos
Tell me all the time (Tell me all the time) not to worry (Not to worry)
– Dic mihi omni tempore (Dic mihi in omni tempore) non temere dico.
And think of all the time I’ll, I’ll have with you
– Et cogitant ex omni tempore ego youll ‘ have vobiscum
When I won’t wake up on my own (Wake up on my own), wake up on my own
– Si nondum vidisti, vide; quem ego (nam me paenitet tarditatis) proxime vidi.
Held close all the time, knowin’ I’m half of you
– Tenuit prope omni tempore, knowin ‘ ego sum dimidium vestrum
Think of us inside (Think of us inside), after the wedding (After the wedding)
– Cogita nos intus (Cogita nos intus), post nuptias (Post nuptias)
Sufferin’ the while to lie a time or two
– Patiens ‘ a mentiri tempore vel duobus
When we won’t wake up on our own (Wake up on our own), wake up on our own (Wake up on our own)
– Et non discedimus a te; vivificabis nos, et nomen tuum invocabimus.
Held close all the time, knowin’ (Knowin’)
– Tenuit omni tempore, knowin ‘(Knowin’)
This was all for you
– Haec omnia tibi
Think of us inside
– Cogita nobis intus
Gardenias on the tile, where it makes no difference who held back from who
– Gardenias in tegula, ubi nihil interest qui repellat ut qui
To love me is to suffer me
– Amare me est me dolere
