Description
A little whiskey, a little nostalgia, and reality begins to blur like an old film. Once upon a time, everything was beautiful: the rooftops, freedom, being seventeen, sleepless nights by choice, not because your heart wouldn't let you sleep. But now, someone didn't come back, someone didn't wait, and in this “It ain't me,” there is no anger. Just a dry residue. As if love were a party that ended long ago, and now someone else is cleaning up. Not romance, but the aftereffect. When it doesn't hurt, it's just clear. And final.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I had a dream, we were sippin' whiskey neat
Highest floor, the bowery, and I was high enough
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seein' eye to eye
You were stayin' out all night, and I had enough
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin'
But I know I won't be home, and you'll be on your own
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the mornin'?
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's wakin' up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the mornin'?
It ain't me
It ain't me
I had a dream, we were back to 17
Summer nights and the libertines, never growin' up
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the mornin'?
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's wakin' up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the mornin'?
It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me
