Verse 1
Entré a mi casa con luz apagada
Habían luciérnagas enredadas
Oí un suspiro muy agotado
Toque una lagrima a mi costado
Pre-chorus
No se como hacer consuelo y suelo evitar
Tus lagrimas entre sábanas que desembocan en el mar
Chorus
Sentir soledad
Siempre pasa al cambiar de edad
Algo dejas atrás
Y sabes que no volverá más
Solamente quiero llorar
Y desbordar el contenido de mi mar
Solamente quiero llorar
Y desbordar el contenido de mi mar
Verse 2
La soledad puede ser contagiosa
Pero eso dice que vamos acompañadas
Tenemos nuestros propios mundos
Anudamos nuestros propios nudos
Pero andamos en la misma soga
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge
I see you cry
I don’t know why
I have no words for you
I don’t know when to shut up
I never say enough
I wish that I knew better
But I guess that comes with age
I guess that’s a good thing that comes with age
That comes with pain
That comes with change
But in the meantime
Chorus in English
Feelin’ loneliness
Always happens at a change of age
You leave something behind
And you know that it will not return
All I ever want to do is cry
And spill out the ocean of my eyes
All I ever want to do is cry
And spill out the ocean of my eyes
Translation/Traducción:
Verse 1
I entered my room with all the lights out
There were tangled fireflies all about
I heard a very exhausted breath
I felt a tear by my side
Pre-chorus
I know not how to console you and I tend to avoid
Your tears tangled in bed sheets that open out into the sea
Verse 2
Solitude can be quite contagious
But that means that we accompany each other
We have our own worlds
We tie our own knots
But we walk on the same tightrope
Bridge
Te veo llorar
No se porque
No tengo palabras para ti
No se cuando callarme
Nunca digo suficiente
Quisiera poder saber que hacer
Y creo que eso viene al crecer
Parece que es algo bueno que viene
al crecer
al cambiar
al sentir dolor
Pero mientras tanto…
*Spanish chorus translates to the chorus sung in English

Verse 1
I anticipate the changes in this country will attempt to get me out of here,
And I meditate to mediate the hatred that I navigate in daily.
Then I levitate out of this planet I have tried so hard to heal,
I just dance and shake like the earthquakes that evict me from where I reside.
Pre-Chorus 1
And even though I am a love child,
The music that I make won't be mild,
And I scream loud at protests and no, it's not a contest,
But I'm hoping that together we get listened to.
Chorus
Listen to me,
To the words that I say,
I've got a reason to stay,
What you're doin' is not okay.
Verse 2
The sky precipitates the truth that we seem to be immune to.
The Earth's rotations cause my palpitations to accelerate,
Time, please accelerate.
And even though I want to skim through the next four years,
I refuse to live my lovely life in absolute fear.
Pre-Chorus 2
And how many numbers have we dialed,
Yes, the efforts that we've made are worthwhile,
I still scream loud at protests and no, it's not a contest,
But I'm hoping that together we get listened to.
(Chorus x2)
Bridge
And I advocate for people without homes,
Convocate the people that I know,
To help me help humanity grow,
I cry for visas that have been rejected,
Citizenship's been neglected to
People who've been here much longer than you.
(Chorus x2)
