She far from a saint, she’s all that I need
– He tawhiti ia i te tapu, ko ia anake taku e hiahia ana
She lost in her thoughts, so hardly she speaks

She makes up her bed like she makes up her stories
– Ka hanga e ia tana moenga me te mea e hanga ana e ia ana kōrero
Awake through the night, then she high from the morning
– Ara i roto i te po, ka ia tiketike i te ata
I wish she could feel me, she never felt nothin’

Knock on her door, she let me come in (Woah)
– Patuki i tona tatau, tukua ahau e ia kia haere mai i roto i (Woah)
I wish she would learn to laugh
– E hiahia ana ahau kia ako ia ki te kata
Isolation, she lockin’ the bathroom door
– Ka wehe, ka herea e ia te tatau o te wharepaku
Baby, let’s get stoned
– E te tamaiti, kia akina tātou
Put on a record, can I play you one more song?

And the water, it’s shallow like the lies that she tells
– A ko te wai, he iti iho te hohonu, he rite ki nga teka e korerotia ana e ia
Can’t run from your shadow, can’t hide from yourself
– Kaore e taea te rere mai i to atarangi, kaore e taea te huna i a koe

And she’s always all by herself (Woah-woah)
– A ko ia tonu anake (Woah-woah)
She hardly talks in conversation (No way)
– E kore ia e kōrero i roto i te kōrero (No way)
But, but when she do, all her words get lost in translation (Always)

No, she can’t move (Woah-woah-woah)
– Kaore, kaore e taea e ia te neke (Woah-woah-woah)
‘Cause she paralyzed from fear that she fantasize
– ‘Na te mea i mate ia i te wehi e whakaaro ana ia
The doctor tried to analyze
– I whakamātau te tākuta ki te tātari
They cannot find anything that’s wrong with her
– Kāore e kitea he mea he ki a ia
Her parents never got along with her
– Kāre ōna mātua i pai ki a ia
I had to make this song for her (Woah-woah-woah)
