Description
Sometimes it seems that everything should be simple: you meet, you understand each other, you stay together. But life is like instructions without a translation. The buttons seem familiar, but it's unclear which ones to press. So it is here: attempts to be “simple and straightforward” are shattered by strange pauses, incomprehensible glances, and the unbearable lightness of loss. Fingers still remember the touch, but things already lie separately - with traces of someone else's warmth that cannot be returned.
The song sounds like the morning after a storm: when it is already clear that the night cannot be brought back, but it is not yet clear how to live on. A little sadness, a little relief - and this strange calm when everything is over, but for some reason the world has not collapsed.
Lyrics and translation
Original
You know us, we call it quits every winter, that's us.
No, nothing was ever simple or straightforward.
I got your fingerprints on everything I own, but it's over.
You know us, we call it quits every winter, that's us.
No, nothing was ever simple or straightforward.
I got your fingerprints on everything I own, but it's over.
You know us. And I could figure out I fall from the jump.
But it was more than I could do to stay up, stay up.
If I was something of a martyr for us.
And I give you up with some cool off. I saw the feelings forming.
We knew what lonesome coming but, couldn't steer me back.
You got your friends in orbit, could come correct in all this but, but with low hearts.
You know us, we call it quits every winter, that's us.
No, nothing was ever simple or straightforward.
I got your fingerprints on everything I own, but it's over.
So, break my heart and fix my vision.
Anything I lose, be around what I was missing from the start. Take my August, found a mission.
Now we both have water for our dishes.
I saw the feelings forming.
We knew what lonesome coming but, couldn't steer me back.
You got your friends in orbit, could come correct in all this but, but with low hearts.
You know us, we call it quits every winter, that's us.
No, nothing was ever simple or straightforward.
I got your fingerprints on everything I own, but it's over.
You know us, we call it quits every winter, that's us.
No, nothing was ever simple or straightforward.
I got your fingerprints on everything I own, but it's over. You know us.
