Description
It's like a conversation that's gone on too long, and at some point, there's only silence between the words. It's all like a simple key, a door, a promise to "leave someday," but beneath it all lies the weariness of endless attempts to understand why things don't work out. The melody hovers on the edge between longing and resignation, like after a prolonged rain when everything is soaked, but the air is easier to breathe. In each repetition, a quiet plea not to disappear, even if no one knows what will happen next. The wind, the cold, and the rain seem to have understood before anyone else: everything passes, everything returns, but nothing lasts forever. And yet, I wish someone would just stay by my side until my heart cools down.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would, and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn
So, what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know?
They only seem to come and go away
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The things we find behind the door
So, what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know?
They only seem to come and go away
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows
Yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
If you're leaving, will you take me with you?
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home
So, what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know?
They only seem to come and go away, hey, hey
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows
Yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
The way it's gonna be, yeah
Maybe I can see, yeah
And don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know?
They only seem to come and go away, hey, hey
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows
Yeah, God only knows the way it's gonna be
