I’m so tired of taking orders from everyone
– Ech sinn esou midd Kommandoe vu jidderengem unzehuelen
And my house is like a hoarder’s, my bed undone
– A mäi Haus ass wéi en Hamster, mäi Bett ass op
Books that I’ll never read, magazines
– Bicher déi ech ni liesen, Zäitschrëften
Photo strips of you and me
– Fotostreifen vun dir a mir
Felt so old at only seventeen
– Gefillt sou al mat just siwwenzéng
Took a flight back to Texas just like every year
– Wéi All Joer huet e Fluch zréck An Texas geholl
We barely talk, but our friendship can’t disappear
– Mir schwätze kaum, awer eis Frëndschaft ka net verschwannen
At Kerbey Lane, the coffee tastes like gasoline
– An Der Kerbey Lane schmaacht De Kaffi No Bensin
Could you order some for me?
– Kënnt dir eppes fir mech bestellen?
I’m too cold and I’m too tired to speak
– Ech sinn ze kal an ech sinn ze midd fir ze schwätzen
All my youth, I never knew that life would ever change
– A menger Ganzer Jugend wousst ech ni Datt D ‘ Liewen jeemools géif änneren
But we keep on growing, didn’t think it’d show
– Awer mir wuesse weider, ech hat net geduecht et géif weisen
But I see it on your face
– Awer ech gesinn et op ärem Gesiicht
The years have passed, but you laugh exactly the same
– D ‘ Jore si vergaangen, awer dir laacht déiselwecht manéier
When I see you for the holidays
– Wann ech dech An Der Vakanz gesinn
In those eyes, I see lifetimes I’ve had with you
– An dësen Aen gesinn Ech Liewenszäiten déi ech mat iech hat
From graduation, whole way back to elementary school
– Vum Schoulstudium An D ‘ Grondschoul
Teachers hang up the wreaths, children sing
– Enseignanten hänken D ‘ Kränz, kanner sangen
Years ago, that was you and me
– Viru Joeren waren dat dir an ech
What I’d give to once again be naive
– Wat ech géif ginn fir nach eng kéier naiv ze sinn
All my youth, I never knew that life would ever change
– A menger Ganzer Jugend wousst ech ni Datt D ‘ Liewen jeemools géif änneren
But we keep on growing, didn’t think it’d show
– Awer mir wuesse weider, ech hat net geduecht et géif weisen
But I see it on your face
– Awer ech gesinn et op ärem Gesiicht
The years have passed, but you laugh exactly the same
– D ‘ Jore si vergaangen, awer dir laacht déiselwecht manéier
When I see you for the holidays
– Wann ech dech An Der Vakanz gesinn
All my youth, I never knew that life would ever change
– A menger Ganzer Jugend wousst ech ni Datt D ‘ Liewen jeemools géif änneren
But we keep on growing, didn’t think it’d show
– Awer mir wuesse weider, ech hat net geduecht et géif weisen
But I see it on your face
– Awer ech gesinn et op ärem Gesiicht
The years have passed, but you laugh exactly the same
– D ‘ Jore si vergaangen, awer dir laacht déiselwecht manéier
When I see you for the holidays
– Wann ech dech An Der Vakanz gesinn
