Description
Sometimes you encounter the past where you least expect it - between plastic chairs in the backyard and the sound of someone else's laughter. And it seems like everything ended long ago, was lived through, erased from memory, but as soon as your gaze catches on something, something warm, stubborn, and uninvited blossoms inside you again.
All the excuses you've come up with crumble like cheap ice in a glass. You want to hate, to be angry, to pretend that you don't care. But you can't. All that remains is this strange mixture of irritation and tenderness, when the past won't let you go, and you don't seem to be putting up much of a fight.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh, out of my way, not tryna see your face
It's doing nothing at all
I close my eyes and see you anyway
Clear as the day I met ya, day you had to go
Resurrection the second we're alone
Oh
If I had a reason I could hate you
I'd use it up right now
Finally free of your hold on me
Until you come around
Thought I'd be fine next time I see you
I couldn't be more wrong
I thought these feelings would be gone
But that's not what's going on
Ooh
I thought I'd see you in another life
Not in a backyard at Bally Heights
And do you feel what I'm feeling tonight
Oh, am I right you see me, right you need me the same? oh-oh
I feel it stronger the more you pull away, ooh, oh
If I had a reason, I could hate you (hate you)
I'd use it up right now
Finally free of your hold on me (hold on me)
Until you come around
Thought I'd be fine next time I see you
I couldn't be more wrong
I thought these feelings would be gone
But that's not what's going on
That's not what's going on
(Oh)
I thought these feelings would be gone
That's not what's going on
