Lyrics and translation

Original

I was working on a plan to disappear completely.

Got tired of my friends and the thinking I was busy.

'Cause if drinking was a day job,

I'd be asking for more money.

Hell, I never take a day off and I'm always selling something.

And I liked your plates, Ford CB3A, didn't know you drove American cars.

Ray-Bans in your face, you've been driving all day, but you're here and we're so grateful you are.

'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up.

'Cause honey we're fragile, you've always been so tough.

You know that I miss you, you always come running back whenever I ask, whenever I ask.

And I had to drag you back here, but I think he's really lost it.

He's been sitting on the porch, oh, acting like a prophet.

And I can't stand the nights, yeah, that daytime silence.

I cut the tension with a knife and I pray you started driving.

And I liked your plates, Ford CB3A, didn't know you drove American cars.

Ray-Bans in your face, you've been driving all day, but you're home and I'm so grateful you are.

'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up.

Honey we're fragile, you've always been so tough.

You know that I missed you, you always come running back whenever I ask, whenever I ask.

Make 'em talk, make it stop, all I want is a dialogue. We're drowning here, gotta stay for more.

The house, the home, you know how to take. You did back then, we talked so much.

And it's fine with me though, can you come home?

'Cause you gotta fix this, you gotta patch it up.

'Cause baby we're fragile, you always were so tough.

You know that I miss you, you always come running back whenever I ask, whenever I ask.

You know that I miss you, you always come running back whenever I ask, whenever I ask.

Oh, whenever I ask.

Oh, whenever I ask.

Whenever I ask.
