Lyrics
Mom and Dad are out of town
– Umama Nobaba baphume edolobheni
The two of us are grown-ups now
– Thina sobabili singabantu abadala manje
Pepper had to be put down
– Upelepele kwadingeka ukuba abulawe
Hard to take, hard to own
– Kunzima ukuthatha, kunzima ukuba ngumnikazi
Not hard to break a collarbone
– Akunzima ukuphula ithambo lomgogodla
A little late, but not alone
– Sekwephuze kancane, kodwa hhayi yedwa
And you’re only twenty-two
– Futhi uneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili kuphela
And the world is watching you
– Futhi izwe liyakubuka
Judging everything you do
– Ukwahlulela konke okwenzayo
Just a house and just a room
– Indlu nje negumbi
Just a handful of balloons
– Amabhaluni ambalwa nje
Just another afternoon
– Ngolunye nje ntambama
Just the way it almost was
– Njengoba nje kwakunjalo
When it’s just the two of us
– Lapho thina sobabili kuphela
Sleep all day, I’ll wake you up
– Lala usuku lonke, ngizokuvusa
When it’s just the two of us
– Lapho thina sobabili kuphela
Choir trip, chaperone
– Uhambo lwekwaya, umqaphi
Got homesick, got sent home
– Ngikhumbula ekhaya, ngathunyelwa ekhaya
Mom and Dad on the phone
– Umama Nobaba ocingweni
And you’re only twenty-two
– Futhi uneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili kuphela
And there’s nothin’ I can do
– Futhi akukho engingakwenza
I made mistakes, you’ll make ’em too
– Ngenza amaphutha, nawe uzobenza
Part of me is part of you
– Ingxenye yami iyingxenye yakho
Just a different shade of blue
– Umbala ohlukile nje oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Just a little family feud
– Ukuxabana okuncane komkhaya
Just the way it almost was
– Njengoba nje kwakunjalo
When it’s just the two of us
– Lapho thina sobabili kuphela
Sleep all day, I’ll wake you up
– Lala usuku lonke, ngizokuvusa
When it’s just the two of us
– Lapho thina sobabili kuphela
Mm-mm-mm-mm
– Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
– Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
(Ah-ah, ah)
– (Ah-ah, ah)
Ahh-ahh-ahh
– Ahh-ahh-ahh
(Ahh) And you’re only twenty-two
– (Ahh) futhi uneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili kuphela
And there’s nothin’ I can do
– Futhi akukho engingakwenza
Part of me is part of you
– Ingxenye yami iyingxenye yakho
Just a different shade of blue
– Umbala ohlukile nje oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
