Lyrics and translation
Original
That's what they say.
Time's just pocket change.
That I'm wasting away, grieving what's still alive.
And fighting with an ache that won't subside.
Nothing good ever lasts. The girl I was never came back.
Staying up, falling off track. So much I wish I knew.
Flew too close to the sun. Who I was, she was made up. Threw a punch, had to take one.
It's what they say.
Time's just pocket change. Ooh.
That I'm wasting away, grieving what's still alive.
And fighting with an ache that won't subside. Is it already over?
Sidewalks scraping my knees. Going halves on a tangerine.
Wanna know why everything worth holding turns to a blur in the distance. That's why I'm clenching my fists.
I know all of this is what it is. You don't get the same day twice.
Still every night, there's something that won't heal, don't feel right.
Nothing good ever lasts. The girl I was never came back.
Staying up, falling off track. So much I wish I knew.
Flew too close to the sun. Who I was, she was made up.
Threw a punch, had to take one. It's what they say.
Time's just pocket change. Ooh.
That I'm wasting away, grieving what's still alive.
And fighting with an ache that won't subside. Ah. Ah.
Ah.
All of this is what it is.
You don't get the same day twice.
Still every night, there's something that won't heal, don't feel right.
Nothing good ever lasts. Last. The girl I was never came back. Came back.
Staying up, falling off track. So much I wish I knew. Ooh. Flew too close to the sun.
Yeah. Who I was, she was made up. Made up.
Threw a punch, had to take one. It's what they say. They say.
Time's just pocket change. Ooh.
That I'm wasting away, grieving what's still alive. Ooh. And fighting with an ache that won't subside.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
