Lyrics
Every time a guy writes a song, he’s a cowboy, a sailor
– Quotiens guido carmen scribit, cowboy est, nauta
Playing with the world in his palm like the first pioneer
– Ludens cum mundo in palmam sicut primus pioneer
Every time he opens his mouth, it’s a loud movie trailer
– Omne tempus quod aperit os suum, suus ‘ a magna movie trailer
Clipping every image and sound he thinks proves he was here
– Tonsura omnis imago et sonus quem putat probat hic esse
A hand, a spike, a physical fight, a flash of light, a curtain
– Manus, clavum, pugna corporis, coruscatio lucis, velum
A toll, a tithe, the passage of time, a height, a dive, a burden
– Vectigal, decima, temporis processu, altitudo, dive, onus
A girl, a night, a typical type, a siren in the water
– Puella, nox, typica, sirena in aqua
A scroll, a nod, a message from God, a son, a Holy Father
– Librum, nutus, nuntius A Deo, filio, Patre Sancto
Every time a guy writes a song, he’s a sailor, a cowboy
– Quotiens guido carmen scribit, nauta est, cowboy
Holding out the world in his palm like he made it himself
– Tenens mundum in palma sua sicut ipse fecit
Every time I open my mouth, I think, “Wow, what a loud noise”
– Omne tempus aperire os meum, puto, ” Wow, quam magna sonitus”
Still on the soapbox, just hoping I seem underwhelmed
– Adhuc in soapbox, iustus sperans mihi videtur underwhelmed
The hand, the pen, the writing again, the wind around the willow
– Manus, calamus, scriptura iterum, ventus circa salicem
The felt, the ice, the passage of time, the melting down the window
– Quod sensit, et glacies, secundum temporis processum, in fenestra liquescens
The now, the then, the thinking of “when,” the bottle in the ocean
– Et nunc, et tunc, quod cogitandi de “quando,” oceanum in utrem
The strike, the pause, the message from God forbid she shows emotion
– O dii immortales! et relicum. ostendit affectum
This isn’t rage, it’s worth a mention
– Haec ira non est, memoratu digna est
This is a fake internal tension
– Haec contentio interna ficta est
Sometimes, I spread out one opinion
– Aliquando, ut una opinio
And stand on its back to gauge attention
– E or sta in dorso eius ad coniecturam operam
This isn’t rage, it’s too specific
– Haec ira non est, nimis specifica est
I like to hate symbolic limits
– Odio ut praesent finibus
This is no statement, I’m complicit
– Non est dicendum, quid tribuerimus;
This is a dream, God put me in it
– Hoc est somnium, deus posuit me in ea
A hand, a spike, a physical fight, the wind around the willow
– Manus, clavum, pugna corporis, ventus circa salicem
A toll, a tithe, the passage of time, the melting down the window
– A theloneo, decimam, secundum temporis processum, in fenestra liquescens
The now, the then, the thinking of “when,” the siren in the water
– Nunc, tunc, cogitatio “quando,” siren in aqua
The strike, the pause, the message from God, does that make me His daughter?
– In his est et illud de perseverantia, de qua disputamus. estne puella Tua?
A hand, a shove, a valley, a jump, a score under the wire
– Manus, trulla, vallis, saltus, score sub filum
Just sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
– Iustus verrite me, sicut me verrite, et accipe alicubi altiorem
Just sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
– Iustus verrite me, sicut me verrite, et accipe alicubi altiorem
Just sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
– Iustus verrite me, sicut me verrite, et accipe alicubi altiorem
