Lyrics
Who’s gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
– Quis suus ‘ agnus dei subsisto tergum in waltzing succenderetur fornax flammas
If we know the steps anyway?
– Si gradus usquam scimus?
We embroidered the memories of the time I was away
– Memoriam temporis intexui eram
Stitching, “We were just kids, babe”
– Sutura, ” sicut erant haedos, babe”
I said, “I don’t mind, it takes time”
– Dixi, “non sapiunt, capit tempus”
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
– Ego eram melior tutum quam luscus sidereum
I felt aglow like this
– Sint aspernatur cum esse
Never before and never since
– Que ser depois y olvido
If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary
– Si tu scis quod in uno conspectu, suus ‘ fabulosus
You and I go from one kiss to getting married
– Tu et ego ab uno osculo ad uxorem ducere
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
– Adhuc vivit, occidere tempus ad coemeterium
Never quite buried
– Numquam satis sepultus est
In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
– In his est et illud de perseverantia, de qua disputamus.
You low-down boy, you stand-up guy
– Tu puer humilis-descendit, sta-sursum guy
You Holy Ghost, you told me I’m the love of your life
– Spiritus sanctus tu mihi dixisti me amorem vitae tuae
You said I’m the love of your life
– Dixisti ego sum amor vitae tuae
About a million times
– Decies fere temporibus
Who’s gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate
– Quis suus ‘ agnus dei dic mihi verum cum flaverunt in ventis fati
And told me I reformed you?
– Qui respondit: reformavit te?
When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes
– Cum tuus impressionist paintings caelum conversus ad esse fakes
Well, you took me to hell too
– Che? non ‘ stimiti te faccende del inferno
And all at once, the ink bleeds
– Et statim omnes, atramentum cruentat
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
– Un contadino davvero sciocco veloci schema
But I’ve felt a hole like this
– Sed ego sensit foraminis huius modi
Never before and ever since
– Deinde et nunc iam de cetero
If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary
– Si tu scis quod in uno conspectu, suus ‘ fabulosus
What we thought was for all time was momentary
– Quod putavimus erat omni tempore momentaneum
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
– Adhuc vivit, occidere tempus ad coemeterium
Never quite buried
– Numquam satis sepultus est
You cinephile in black and white
– Vos autem cinephile nigrum et album
All those plot twists and dynamite
– Omnes insidiae illae torquent et dynamite
Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry
– Dominus Puellam Tuam Surripe, deinde clamorem fac
You said I’m the love of your life
– Dixisti ego sum amor vitae tuae
You shit-talked me under the table
– Vos shit-loquebatur mihi sub mensa
Talkin’ rings and talkin’ cradles
– Talkin ‘ annulos, et incunabula talkin
I wish I could un-recall
– Spero me cras redditurum esse
How we almost had it all
– Cum totam quasi eum
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
– Saltatio phantasmata in xystum
Are they second-hand embarrassed
– An secundae [in] positionis.
That I can’t get out of bed
– Quod e lecto exire non possum
‘Cause something counterfeit’s dead?
– ‘Causa aliquid mentitus mortuus est?
It was legendary
– Legendos sunt
It was momentary
– Momentaneum est
It was unnecessary
– Necesse erat
Should’ve let it stay buried
– Si quis illam possederit sepulturam
Oh, what a valiant roar
– O quam fortis rugiet
What a bland goodbye
– Un sofferto addio
The coward claimed he was a lion
– L ‘ amicizia tra un uomo e un leone
I’m combing through the braids of lies
– Ego pectens per crines mendacium
“I’ll never leave,” “Never mind”
– “Numquam relinquo, ” ” numquam mens”
Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
– Sogni ourelli
Your arson’s match, your somber eyes
– Incendium tuum, oculi tui sobrii
And I’ll still see it until I die
– Vadam et videbo eum antequam moriar
You’re the loss of my life
– Es amissio vitae meae
