Lyrics
I wish I found some better sounds no one’s ever heard
– Ngifisa sengathi ngabe ngathola imisindo engcono okungekho muntu owake wayizwa
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
– Ngifisa sengathi ngabe nganginezwi elingcono elalihlabelela amagama angcono
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
– Ngifisa sengathi ngabe ngithole ezinye izintambo ngokulandelana okusha
I wish I didn’t have to rhyme every time I sang
– Ngifisa sengathi kwakungadingeki ngihlabelele njalo lapho ngicula
I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink
– Ngatshelwa ukuthi lapho sengikhulile, konke ukwesaba kwami kwakuyoncipha
But now I’m insecure, and I care what people think
– Kodwa manje angivikelekile, futhi ngiyakukhathalela lokho abantu abakucabangayo
My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think
– Igama lami Lifiphele futhi ngiyakukhathalela lokho okucabangayo
My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think
– Igama lami Lifiphele futhi ngiyakukhathalela lokho okucabangayo
Wish we could turn back time
– Ngifisa sengathi singabuyisa isikhathi
To the good old days
– Ezinsukwini ezinhle zakudala
When our mama sang us to sleep
– Lapho umama wethu esicula ukuze silale
But now we’re stressed out (oh)
– Kodwa manje sicindezelekile (oh)
Wish we could turn back time (oh)
– Ngifisa sengathi singabuyisa isikhathi (oh)
To the good old days (oh)
– Ezinsukwini ezinhle zakudala (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
– Lapho umama wethu esicula ukuze silale
But now we’re stressed out
– Kodwa manje sicindezelekile
We’re stressed out
– Sicindezelekile
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
– Ngezinye izikhathi iphunga elithile liyongibuyisela emuva lapho ngisemncane
How come I’m never able to identify where it’s coming from?
– Angikwazi kanjani ukubona ukuthi ivela kuphi?
I’d make a candle out of it if I ever found it
– Ngangenza ikhandlela ngalo uma ngake ngalithola
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I’d probably only sell one
– Zama ukuyithengisa, ungalokothi uyithengise, cishe ngizoyithengisa eyodwa kuphela
It’d be to my brother, ’cause we have the same nose
– Kungaba kumfowethu, ngoba sinempumulo efanayo
Same clothes, homegrown, a stone’s throw from a creek we used to roam
– Izingubo ezifanayo, ezakhiwe ekhaya, ukujikijela itshe emfudlaneni esasivame ukuzulazula kuwo
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
– Kodwa bekuyosikhumbuza lapho kungekho lutho olubalulekile ngempela
Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter
– Ngaphandle kwemalimboleko yabafundi nezindlu zasetree house, sonke sasizothatha lezi zakamuva
My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think
– Igama lami Lifiphele futhi ngiyakukhathalela lokho okucabangayo
My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think
– Igama lami Lifiphele futhi ngiyakukhathalela lokho okucabangayo
Wish we could turn back time
– Ngifisa sengathi singabuyisa isikhathi
To the good old days
– Ezinsukwini ezinhle zakudala
When our mama sang us to sleep
– Lapho umama wethu esicula ukuze silale
But now we’re stressed out (oh)
– Kodwa manje sicindezelekile (oh)
Wish we could turn back time (oh)
– Ngifisa sengathi singabuyisa isikhathi (oh)
To the good old days (oh)
– Ezinsukwini ezinhle zakudala (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
– Lapho umama wethu esicula ukuze silale
But now we’re stressed out
– Kodwa manje sicindezelekile
Used to play pretend, give each other different names
– Used ukudlala pretend, ukunikeza nomunye amagama ahlukene
We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away
– Sasakha umkhumbi-mkhathi bese siwundiza kude
Used to dream of outer space, but now they’re laughing at our face saying
– Babevame ukuphupha ngendawo engaphandle, kodwa manje bahleka ubuso bethu bethi
“Wake up, you need to make money”, yeah
– “Vuka, udinga ukwenza imali”, yebo
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
– Sasivame ukudlala i-pretend, sinikeze amanye amagama ahlukene
We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away
– Sasakha umkhumbi-mkhathi bese siwundiza kude
Used to dream of outer space, but now they’re laughing at our face saying
– Babevame ukuphupha ngendawo engaphandle, kodwa manje bahleka ubuso bethu bethi
“Wake up, you need to make money”, yeah
– “Vuka, udinga ukwenza imali”, yebo
Wish we could turn back time
– Ngifisa sengathi singabuyisa isikhathi
To the good old days
– Ezinsukwini ezinhle zakudala
When our mama sang us to sleep

But now we’re stressed out (oh)
– Kodwa manje sicindezelekile (oh)

To the good old days (oh)
– Ezinsukwini ezinhle zakudala (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
– Lapho umama wethu esicula ukuze silale
But now we’re stressed out
– Kodwa manje sicindezelekile
We used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
– Sasivame ukudlala i-pretend, sasivame ukudlala i-pretend, imali
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
– Sasivame ukudlala sengathi, vuka, udinga imali
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
– Used ukudlala pretend, used ukudlala pretend, imali
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
– Sasivame ukudlala sengathi, vuka, udinga imali
Used to play pretend, give each other different names
– Used ukudlala pretend, ukunikeza nomunye amagama ahlukene
We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away
