Lyrics and translation

Original

On the dark side of the earth, where the creatures are out
I'm a man on the moon
And midnight 'round my neck and sunrise on my breath
I'll still wait for you
Will you lay down all the things you've done?
Don't turn your face around, you can come undone
Well, hey, did you call? Did you fall?
Do you need someone? Do you need someone?
And hey, I'm a mess myself, but I think
I could be someone if you need someone
When I was alone, it was fine, I could deny all I like
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
But, hey, did you call? Did you fall?
Do you need someone? I could be someone for you
Now there's gold in your eyes in this rosy-fingered light
Like a man on the moon
Out of sight, out of mind, never raise the alarm
Yeah, I'm just like you
Can you lay down all the things you've done?
Don't turn your face around, you can come undone
And hey, did you call? Did you fall?
Do you need someone? Do you need someone?
And hey, I'm a mess myself, but I think
I could be someone if you need someone
I was alone, it was fine, I could deny all I like
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
But, hey, when you call, when you fall
And you need someone, I could be someone for you
Ah
Ah
Tell a lie, see a light (ah)
Burn a bridge, it'll be alright (ah)
Things don't have to fall apart (ah)
And wait, did you call? Did you fall?
Do you need someone? Do you need someone?
And hey, I'm a mess myself, but I think
I could be someone if you need someone
And I was alone, it was fine, I could deny all I like
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
And hey, when you call, when you fall
When you need someone, I could be someone for you
