Lyrics and translation
Original
Me and my friends, we used to fall apart and piece ourselves back together like a work of art.
Mom was a mess, she took it way too hard.
I left it tucked in a drawer just like a birthday card. Oh.
How would I know?
When these days just come and go.
How would I know that we were making this far?
From just a shot in the dark.
-I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark. -Yeah, in the dark.
-I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
-The greatest thing to ever befall on me.
I saw your sister in bed could set me free. Ten years have passed of what should be eternity.
I still wake up and think that this is what life should be. Yeah.
How could I know?
When these days just come and go. How would I know
I'd get all this love?
-From just a shot in the dark. -I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
-Yeah, in the dark. -I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
-Yeah, in the dark. -I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
-Yeah, in the dark. -I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
Lived my whole life like I was ready to die 'til I finally caught a piece of the sun.
With every page, it's getting harder to name each street sign
I used to pass by at night when I'd leave your place.
And I can't remember your face half as much as I remember our faith.
I've tried to hold on, but it's just a shame how time flies, plants die, and we only get one try.
Me and my friends, we used to fall apart and piece ourselves back together like a work of art.
How would I know?
When these days just come and go.
How would I know I'd get all this love?
-From just a shot in the dark. -I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
Yeah, in the dark.
-I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark. -Yeah, in the dark.
-I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark. -Yeah, in the dark.
I, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
