Lyrics and translation

Original

Something 'bout the window seats got you feeling like a poet

You said I think that we had everything and 'til now, just didn't know it

I'm leaning towards a subject change in a sentimental moment

We're driving through the Garden State

We'll be strangers in the morning

The way you've got your hair up straight makes you look real Californian

You know you never really could quite place when I'm angry and I'm joking

I'm cursing every exit sign and my damn Christ-like devotion

To hopin' you might change your mind, and to hating you for going

Roadkill fawn, you said how sad

Left to rot alone like that

You state a feeling like a fact

I'm glad you left, but you'll be back

So call me when it goes to shit

I'll be keeping the house the way it was

I won't rub your face in it

I swear I won't tell anyone

I don't mind being your dead end

I think it's fine to never move on

Keep my ear up to the doorframe

And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

Call me when the bugs don't die and the spring looks just like autumn

Oh tell me when you miss the climb from a hole that has no bottom

I'm hoping that the view ain't nice, that the streetlights bleed into your bedroom

That you open up to someone kind, and they hold it all against you

Roadkill fawn, you said how sad

Left to rot alone like that

You state a feeling like a fact

I'm glad you left, but you'll be back

So call me when it goes to shit

I'll be keeping the house the way it was

I won't rub your face in it

I swear I won't tell anyone

I don't mind being your dead end

I think it's fine to never move on

Keep my ear up to the doorframe

And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

So call me when it goes to shit

I'll be keeping the house the way it was

I won't rub your face in it

I swear I won't tell anyone

I don't mind being your dead end

I think it's fine to never move on

Keep my ear up to the doorframe

And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

I keep rooting for your downfall

Oh I'll keep rooting for your downfall
