Grey streets

Grey streets and streets of greyCalles grises y calles de gris

Patrolled by knights from the invading dayPatrulladas por caballeros del día invasor

Closing eyelids stutter and tumble and turn awayLos párpados se cierran titubeantes y se apartan

Makeshift memories they collide for another stayRecuerdos improvisados chocan para quedarse un rato más

I was attracted to you because the forces were so blindMe sentí atraído hacia ti porque las fuerzas eran tan ciegas

And you were attracted to meY tú te sentiste atraída hacia mí

Because my face smiled down from a wallPorque mi rostro sonreía desde una pared

And you said I looked kindY dijiste que parecía amable

Well hello it's me againHola, soy yo de nuevo

I just called 'round to see my friendSolo pasé a ver a mi amigo

'Cause when I'm talking to you can't you see that the world's aglowPorque cuando hablo contigo, ¿no ves que el mundo brilla?

You're so semi-precious about life and you won't let your feelings showEres tan semipreciosa con la vida y no dejas ver tus sentimientos

I was a photographYo era una fotografía

I was a picture on displayYo era una imagen en exhibición

You were so negative because once I owned the worldTú eras tan negativa porque una vez poseí el mundo

But I gave it awayPero lo regalé

I am here and you are thereEstoy aquí y tú estás allá

We are near so why should we careEstamos cerca, ¿por qué deberíamos preocuparnos?

You almost wish you werw dying it would be an excuse to really liveCasi desearías estar muriendo, sería una excusa para vivir de verdad

I sometimes wonder why 'cause you've got nothing left to giveA veces me pregunto por qué, porque ya no tienes nada más que dar

And I was attracted to youY me sentí atraído hacia ti

Because the forces were so blindPorque las fuerzas eran tan ciegas

And you were attracted to meY tú te sentiste atraída hacia mí

Because my face smiled down from a wallPorque mi rostro sonreía desde una pared

And you said I looked kind.Y dijiste que parecía amable.
