Lyrics
Daddy went to law school and could’ve been an architect
– Pater ad scholam iuris ivit et architectus fui
Now he’s turnin’ sixty and wonders where the big dream went
– Nunc ille turnin ‘ sexaginta et mirabilia ubi magnum somnium abiit
Tucker never said a lot, two eyes down, a little luck
– Tucker numquam multum dixit, duo oculi, parum fortuna
Took it to the Ivies and never really knew for what
– Et perferendis Et Numquam vero sapiente quas
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
– Et ego linguam meam mordeo decem vicibus in die
Half swear to God, I might just pray
– Tertio jure Columna, quae subverti non potest
And I got a lot to lose
– Factus sum tanquam vas perditum
So I might as well lose it anyway
– Sic ego quoque usquam eam perdere
And I, I manifested you would leave
– Am ante me, vel [am] o, si occurrit.
So the day you did, I had you beat
– Et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco,
Three steps ahead of everythin’
– Tres gradus ante omnes’
Lately, I wake up feelin’ like
– Nuper, expergiscimini sentio ‘ sicut
“Oh, where does the time go?”
– “O, ubi tempus ire?”
You never really know
– Vos nunquam vere scire
‘Til you’re standing in the bathroom mirror like
– ‘Donec stans in balneo speculum sicut
“No, shit, we got so close”
– “Non, cacas, tam prope nos obtinuit”
Hit me fast and slow
– Ledo mihi ieiunium et tardus
Funny thing about nostalgia
– Una realtà di desiderio
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh)
– Et non apparuit ‘ et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco ,
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh)
– Et non apparuit ‘ et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco ,
My ma wasn’t raised right, oh no, all she ever knew was guilt
– Ma mea non erat rectum erexit, o nemo, quae semper sciebant omnes reus esset
Little did she know that’s all her kids would ever grow to feel
– Parum sciebat quod omnes haedos suos semper crescere sentiunt
And every choice leads back to the trait
– Et omnis electio ducit ad lineamentum
Every time that I drink and heart that I break
– Quotienscumque bibo et cor quod frango
It’s a truckload of regret and stupid mistakes
– Molestiae aut doloremque et error debitis
And, man, lately I wake up feelin’ like
– Et, homo, ego nuper excitare sentiunt, sicut
“Oh, where does the time go?”
– “O, ubi tempus ire?”
You never really know
– Vos nunquam vere scire
‘Til you’re standing in the bathroom mirror, like
– ‘Donec stans in balneo speculum, sicut
“No, shit, we got so close”
– “Non, cacas, tam prope nos obtinuit”
Hit me fast and slow
– Ledo mihi ieiunium et tardus
Funny thing about nostalgia
– Una realtà di desiderio
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (When I lost ya, ooh)
– Non apparent ‘et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco,
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (When I lost ya, no, ooh)
– Non apparent ‘et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco,
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh)
– Et non apparuit ‘ et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco ,
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh)
– Et non apparuit ‘ et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco ,
And now, I bite my tongue ten times a day
– Et nunc mordeo linguam meam decem vicibus in die
Half swear to God, I might just pray
– Tertio jure Columna, quae subverti non potest
And I got a lot to lose
– Factus sum tanquam vas perditum
