Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Two chains
– E rua ngā mekameka
Hangin’ off your chest when you kiss me
– Te whakairi i tōu uma ina kihi koe i ahau
So strange
– He tino maere
Who’d’ve thought we’d get here with our history?
– Ko wai i whakaaro ka tae mai mātou ki konei me tō mātou hītori?
You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn’t
– E mohio ana koe, i whakamatau ahau kia rite ki tana i whakaaro ai, ehara ahau i te mea
I tried to be everythin’ I thought he wanted
– I whakamatau ahau ki te noho i nga mea katoa i whakaaro ahau e hiahia ana ia
And truthfully, I’m so over but stuck on it
– A, he pono, kua mutu ahau, engari kua mau tonu ki runga
And if I’m honest
– A ki te mea he pono ahau
I’m still waitin’ at the green light
– Kei te tatari tonu ahau ki te marama matomato
I’d tell you what I feel like, but I can’t go
– Ka korerotia e ahau ki a koe taku e pai ai, engari kaore e taea e au te haere
I’m still tryna make a beeline
– Ko ahau tonu tryna hanga he beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
– I whakairihia ki roto i te tuhi anō o te waiata kotahi
Band-Aids and bullet holes don’t go
– E kore e haere Band-Aids me poka pōro
I can’t unhear shit I been told
– Kāore au e rongo i te mea i korerotia mai ki ahau
Guess I never healed right
– Ki taku whakaaro kaore au i ora tika
Maybe it’s a green light, but I can’t go
– He marama matomato pea, engari kaore e taea e au te haere
Midnight
– Te waenganui po
One-twenty on the PCH, just you and me
– Kotahi-rua tekau i runga i te PCH, ko koe anake me au
Babe, you know, I can’t lie
– E te tamaiti, e mohio ana koe, e kore e taea e ahau te teka
The most alive I think I’ll maybe ever be, oh
– Ko te tino ora ki taku whakaaro ka taea pea e au, oh
You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn’t
– E mohio ana koe, i whakamatau ahau kia rite ki tana i whakaaro ai, ehara ahau i te mea
I tried to be everythin’ I thought he wanted
– I whakamatau ahau ki te noho i nga mea katoa i whakaaro ahau e hiahia ana ia
And truthfully, I’m so over but stuck on it
– A, he pono, kua mutu ahau, engari kua mau tonu ki runga
And if I’m honest
– A ki te mea he pono ahau
I’m still waitin’ at the green light
– Kei te tatari tonu ahau ki te marama matomato
To tell you what I feel like, but I can’t go
– Ki te korero ki a koutou te meael ahau rite, engari e kore e taea e ahau te haere
I’m still tryna make a beeline
– Ko ahau tonu tryna hanga he beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
– I whakairihia ki roto i te tuhi anō o te waiata kotahi
Band-Aids and bullet holes don’t go
– E kore e haere Band-Aids me poka pōro
I can’t unhear shit I been told
– Kāore au e rongo i te mea i korerotia mai ki ahau
Guess I never healed right
– Ki taku whakaaro kaore au i ora tika
Maybe it’s a green light, but I can’t go
– He marama matomato pea, engari kaore e taea e au te haere
(I can’t go) I can’t let go
– (E kore e taea e ahau te haere) e kore e taea e ahau te tuku atu
(I can’t go) I can’t let go
– (E kore e taea e ahau te haere) e kore e taea e ahau te tuku atu
(I can’t go) I can’t let go
– (E kore e taea e ahau te haere) e kore e taea e ahau te tuku atu
(I can’t go)
– (Kaore e taea e au te haere)
I’m still waitin’ at the green light
– Kei te tatari tonu ahau ki te marama matomato
To tell you what I feel like, but I can’t go

– Ki taku whakaaro kaore au i ora tika
Maybe it’s a green light, but I can’t go
– He marama matomato pea, engari kaore e taea e au te haere
(Maybe it’s a green light) Oh
– (Pea te reira i te marama matomato) Oh
(Green light, green) Light
– (Marama matomato, matomato) Marama
Maybe it’s a green light (Oh)
– Mahalo he maama matomato (Oh)
Green light, green light (I can’t go)
– Green light, green light (e kore e taea e ahau te haere)
