Lyrics and translation
Original
Heard you got a job as a mailman. I heard you're playing around in a couple bands.
Wish I could come to the show, but I understand.
Can't just walk in like any other fan.
But I always loved the way you played guitar.
You've got style. No one's doing it like you are.
In many European cities there's a bridge where lovers put locks on the rails and throw their keys into the river below.
We were two such suckers.
But the man weighs down the bearings and the city has to cut the fence.
If our spell wore off, maybe it's our default.
You're a bullseye and I aimed right.
All our stray shots were a grand prize. It was young love. It was dumb love.
Holding each other so tight we got stuck.
I remember borrowing your books to read your notes and reminders.
The closest I came to reading your mind. The answers to the questions only made more questions.
I hope you're never fully satisfied.
But I wanted to be there the day you figured it all out.
Whoever it is, I hope they're proud.
You're a bullseye and I aimed right.
All our stray shots were a grand prize. It was young love.
It was dumb love. Holding each other so tight we got stuck.
Found some of your stuff at my new house.
Packed it on accident when I was moving out. Probably wrong to think of them as your gifts to me.
More like victims of my -sentimentality. -Man, it's hard to quit while you're ahead.
Letting your best laid plans become empty threats. But I meant every word
I said when I said it.
The world that we built meant the world -to me.
-When one world ends, the other worlds keep spinning.
Thank you.
