Description
Sometimes even a cozy home feels empty when there's too much silence in it. Everything seems to be in place - the cup, the windowsill, the blanket with lint - but the air feels different. It's as if someone invisible changed the film in the old projector, and now a different movie is playing in the same sets. He might be laughing too - just not here anymore. And even if there's someone new nearby, you still catch a familiar intonation, a sense of déjà vu in their gaze, a habit of pausing before laughing. It feels like there's warmth, but not the kind that used to burn. And here you are standing by the window, watching the rain, which for some reason no longer turns into a rainbow. It's just rain. Just a day. Just a heart that can't learn to be "just."
Lyrics and translation
Original
She'd take the world off my shoulders if it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow when I was living in the blue
Why then, if she's so perfect, do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working, so what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight in my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes, and that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch, but I'm thinking of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory, does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived
Maybe one day, you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly and find me again
When you're out of sight in my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes, and that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch, but I'm thinking of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes, and that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch, but I'm thinking of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us
