Transit Gloria - Somber Smiles [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

It's tough keeping eyes open when I'm tired
Or my head up when my spirits are down
Or how the darkest part of day is the morning
When it's only you and ghosts in your town

Doctor, quick, I think that she is leaving
See how fast the light is fading from eyes
Or how my memories might be receding
But if you go I will follow you

I want you to know I'm not any stronger
I've lingered much longer than ever I meant
The smiles have returned, though infrequent and somber
I think I accept it, I think I've grown

Wrists slit like I'm down and out and looking for some answers
Looking for a quick fix, ready or not
Now the trees grow upside down from the sky
These are fucked up times
I've fallen for you

I've been gunned down in a drunk-drive drive by
So fly, so high, my wings are burning down to the bone
When the light black ash threatens all that we know
Run for cover, if you go, I will follow for you

If you go, I will follow you

I want you to know I'm not any stronger
I can't change the past, but I would if I could
If that makes me a coward, I'd still say it's worth it
Cus oh, how the thoughts of our hearts were great

I realize it scared you, for that I am sorry
I can't change the past, but I don't think I would
It's the mortar that binds me, it fuels, it defines me
I finally accept it, I'm sure I've grown

So I want you to know that I am now stronger
The future looks bright, and I'm doing just fine
But this stain of regret is resisting erasers
I still think the thoughts of these hearts were great
