Pernice Brothers - Goodbye, Killer [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I was you, you were me
Took back soaring high above a reefer sea
Life looked pretty from where we stood
But you were shooting for the gutter
And your aim was very good
Maybe if I hadn't let it get so far
Then it might not be so difficult to be where other people are
You knew heartache, you knew tears
Well, so did all the other ones you dragged down in the gears
I don't judge, I know will is free
But when the sick abet the sick
It's gonna end up tragically
Maybe if I hadn't let it get so far
Then it might not be so difficult to be where other people are
Be where the people are
Be where the people are
Be where the people are
Be where the people are
Someone's lover
Someone's brother
Someone's friend
Lovely words and concepts
Sweeter when they're true
I once applied to you
Someone's killer
Someone's devil
Someone's end
It's hard to live that down
It's hard to live as them
So go easy, friend
Goodbye, killer
Goodbye, Joe
I hope you know I always loved you
But I had to let you go
Maybe if I hadn't let it get so far
Then it might not be so difficult to be where other people are
Be where the people are
Be where the people are
Be where the people are
Be where the people are
