Текст песни: Yoyo + перевод

Take me off in your waves

Not alone to drift in this old light

Cos I was once in your place

And I know it’s not there but it’s alright

Why are you holding on to me?

Why are you holding on to me?

I’m a dirty little yoyo coiling up towards your hand

But your fingers have grown gangrenous

Why are you still holding on?

You’ve got lipstick on your collar

Have you been kissing other men?

The world’s sun round three times

Since you last slept next to me

Frictionless in the darkness

Perpetually I’m spinning

Inches from the ground

I’ve been picking up dust

Why can’t you put me down?

You can’t hold on to everything

Sometimes we’ve all got to let go

Why are you holding on to me?

Why are you holding on to me?

I’m a card that you’ll never play

Held tightly in your fingers

And close to your chest

A chance that’s been and gone

A hundred times

But you’re still holding on

And holding on for what?

Standing on the linoleum

Smudging a porthole

In the condensated window

Last night’s party is frozen to the lawn

You’re a candle burning at both ends

But it’s keeping me warm

And have you ever imagined your life

As a drop of water

Falling from the sky

Hurtling towards a puddle

Sooner or later you’ll hit the surface

And this is the moment you die

Waves will emanate

Circling out from the point that you landed

Dispersing, refacting

These waves will get smaller

But they’ll get wider too

Until eventually someone looking in

Would see no trace of your life

No sign that you were ever there

But that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t significant

That doesn’t mean that you weren’t there

The energy isn’t lost

Energy’s never lost

It just changes form

Everything that you’ve got

Touch it, make it last a little while

Because someday you’ll need it

And someday it will be gone

And what if we could feel nothing

But in the best possible way?

Free ourselves into the maelstrom

Let go of everyhing and just float

A different kind of sideways

Cos if you really can’t put me down

If you’re really not letting go

Then let’s smash into the floor

And explode like a jackson pollock

Colours overlapping

Chromagraphically we’re capturing

The state of mind in which we lived

If only we could do this every day

But it seems

At least for now

That death is a one way journey

Now we’ll feel nothing at all

But our eyes will be smiling

And after the fall

The convection we’ll ride

Thrown ourselves to the drift

I’ve been dreaming of this for so long

Why are you holding on to me?

Why are you holding on to me?

Why are you holding on to me?

Why are you holding on to me?
