Amanda Palmer - Want It Back [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Hearts on a string
Like an older-fashioned phone-can
Bang, ringy-ring
And you think
You're gonna get some thing you can bring to a party at your wake
Not thinking of the thing that you pay back when you take it
Take it

Like rats in a cage pushed the button
Got the shock trick snickers in your bag
Had your number, but I lost it
Bets are all off, you're a lily-livered giver
Indie in the hidden costs, you're a sucker and you win

It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away
You've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away, away, away, away, away, away, oh

He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling on his sweatshirt
He says fate is not a factor
I'm in love with every actor

So

Once when you're gone, and I wanna do it backwards
Just like the song, we're addicted to the L word
Up past your head, down your back
Around your ankles, ready for attack
You're upstaged
And then you're strangled

Cringe like you're cursed with your wrecking ball-y necklace
I saw it first, and I crushed it with my ham fist
High for the contest, who's the better
Not see eye to eye to eye
And now you're blind, and you can't catch me
Catch me if you can

(He's already on the outskirts)
If you can
(I'm still pulling on his sweatshirt)
If you can
(He says fate is not a factor)
If you can
(I'm in love with every actor)

It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away
You've given it away
It doesn't matter if you want it back
You've given it away
You've given it away

He's already on the outskirts
I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
He says fate is not a factor
I'm in love with a reactor

I will let you go if you will let some
I will let you go if you will let somebody
I will let you go if you will let somebody love you
I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like
I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like I do
