Lyrics
In every book in the house, notes from you fall out
– Kuzo zonke izincwadi ezisendlini, amanothi avela kuwe ayawa
All the love that came my way, I found a way to push away
– Zonke uthando eza ngendlela yami, ngathola indlela yokuxosha
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
– Angisafuni ukwesaba
I don’t wanna run from love like I had before
– Angifuni ukubalekela uthando njengoba ngangike ngaba nalo ngaphambili
And on the way to couples therapy, you put your headphones in
– Futhi endleleni eya imibhangqwana therapy, wena wafaka headphones akho
So you didn’t have to talk to me
– Ngakho kwakungadingeki ukhulume nami
Listening to our own demos on the ride home
– Ukulalela amademo ethu siqu on the ride home
You have a bigger ego than you think you do
– Unobugovu obukhulu kunalokho okucabangayo
Slide down in my seat so as not to threaten you
– Yehla esihlalweni sami ukuze ungakusongeli
Let it be us, let it be home
– Makube yithi, makube sekhaya
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone
– Ukulala futhi ungabheki ifoni yethu
‘Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it constantly
– Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi ngithandana kanjani, ngikwenza njalo
I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes at least
– Ngithandana nabo bonke abantu engihlangana nabo okungenani imizuzu eyishumi
Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
– Khona-ke kuza umsebenzi, ukucasuka, nobuhlungu
Picking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt
– Ukukhetha at izinwele zakho futhi ukuthi stupid band T-shirt
I always thought I was nice, I thought I was kind
– Ngangilokhu ngicabanga ukuthi ngimuhle, ngangicabanga ukuthi nginomusa
‘Til I tried to do something that was almost real life
– ‘Ngaze ngazama ukwenza okuthile okwakucishe kube ukuphila kwangempela
It’s not like what I’ve seen in TV shows
– Akufani nalokho engikubonile emibukisweni YE-TV
It’s not like what I’ve read in books
– Akufani nalokho engikufunde ezincwadini
It’s so much harder than it looks
– Kunzima kakhulu kunalokho okubukeka
And there isn’t much applause
– Futhi akukho ukushaywa ihlombe okuningi
If it required practice and dedication, I just got bored
– Uma kwakudingeka ukuzijwayeza nokuzinikela, ngangisanda kuba nesithukuthezi
We discussed something called compromise
– Saxoxa ngento ebizwa ngokuthi ukuyekethisa
A brand new concept that I never tried
– Umqondo omusha engingakaze ngiwuzame
Let it be us, let it be home
– Makube yithi, makube sekhaya
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone
– Ukulala futhi ungabheki ifoni yethu
‘Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it easily
– Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi ngithandana kanjani, ngikwenza kalula
I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes at least
– Ngithandana nabo bonke abantu engihlangana nabo okungenani imizuzu eyishumi
Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
– Khona-ke kuza umsebenzi, ukucasuka, nobuhlungu
Picking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt, hmm
– Ukukhetha at izinwele zakho futhi ukuthi stupid band T-shirt, hmm
Breaking my bones, getting four out of five
– Ukuphula amathambo ami, ukuthola ezine kwezinhlanu
Listening to a song by The 1975
– Ukulalela ingoma Ka-1975
I thought, ‘Fuck it, I might as well give music by men a try’
– Ngacabanga, ‘Fuck it, ngingase ngizame umculo wabantu’
Let there be love, let there be light
– Makube khona uthando, makube khona ukukhanya
Let there be a quiet day and an easy night
– Ake kube nosuku oluthule nobusuku obulula
Let me put out a record and have it not ruin my life
– Ake ngikhiphe i albhamu futhi ngingayichithi ukuphila kwami
Let it be us, let it be home
– Makube yithi, makube sekhaya
Let it not be a spotlight standing alone
– Ake kungabi ukukhanya okumile wedwa
Running back to the only love I could ever control
– Ukubuyela othandweni kuphela engangingalulawula
