Lyrics, Cara Baca & English Translation
I've been thinkin'
That I've got no idea what you're thinkin'
Are you happy? Are you sad?
Are you always gonna hate me for that night in Tokyo?
When it ended
I kinda hoped that it'd be open-ended
But you never looked back
Well, I guess you can't hold on to something once you let it go
But I know a place where we could be us
I know it ain't real, but it's real enough
From sun goin' down to sun comin' up
It's like you're here with me
Whenever I close my eyes
It's takin' me back in time
Been drownin' in dreams lately
Like it's 2019, baby
Whenever I'm missin' you
Call you up, but I can't get through
Don't know where you sleep lately
But I'll see you in my dreams maybe
We can catch up, drive down on our old street
If all that we were is all that we'll ever be
It's bittersweet
At least a girl can dream
I guess that I'm takin' what I can get
'Cause I don't get nothin' new from your friends
If you got the harder side of the break, then why is it harder for me to take?
There's so much I might never get to say, ay
But I know a place where we could be us
I know it ain't real, but it's real enough
From sun goin' down to sun comin' up
It's like you're here with me
Whenever I close my eyes
It's takin' me back in time
Been drownin' in dreams lately
Like it's 2019, baby
Whenever I'm missing you
Call you up, but I can't get through
Don't know where you sleep lately
But I'll see you in my dreams maybe
We can catch up, drive down on our old street
If all that we were is all that we'll ever be
It's bittersweet
At least a girl can dream
I know it's only in my mind (in my mind)
Playin' three nights on the stereo like a movie scene, DiCaprio
Oh, I put my makeup on just to fall asleep
It's like you're here with me
Whenever I close my eyes
It's takin' me back in time
Been drownin' in dreams lately
Like it's 2019, baby
Whenever I'm missing you
Call you up, but I can't get through
Don't know where you sleep lately
But I'll see you in my dreams, maybe
We can catch up, drive down our old street
If all that we were is somethin' we'll never be
It's bittersweet
Can we be friends at least?
