Lyrics and translation

Original

I was on a train

Heading through the veins of your heart

You were lookin' in

But the passenger window was dark

Slow swim in sloe-gin, getting lost in the labyrinth

I've been grinnin' through Easter like an ordinary creature

Farewell, my dreaded fear

Thank you, but I'm out of here now

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

I was in a dream

Swimmin' up the stream to your door

Flowers in the window

Sweater on the bed, what's your day like?

What's your day without all your problems?

Slow life in low tide, gettin' back to my clementine

I've been strolling the beaches like an ordinary creature

Farewell, my dreaded fear

Thank you, but I'm out of here now

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

(I've been dying to reach you like an ordinary creature)

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out (like an ordinary creature)

I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out (when it gets dark out)
