Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
– Njengoko undithembisile ukuba ndingaphezulu kwazo zonke iikhilomitha zidityanisiwe
You must have had yourself a change of heart like
– Umele ukuba waba utshintsho intliziyo ezifana
Halfway through the drive
– Kwik way drive
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
– Kuba ilizwi lakho lahamba kanye njengoko udlulile uphawu lwam lokuphuma
Kept on drivin’ straight and left our future to the right
– Keptela rand ukuze rand. ubalo olutsha
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can’t face
– Ngoku ndibambekile phakathi komsindo wam kunye netyala endingenakujongana nalo
And memories are somethin’ even smoking weed does not replace
– Kwaye iinkumbulo zezinto ‘ nkqu nokutshaya ukhula alutshintshi
And I am terrified of weather ’cause I see you when it rains
– Kwaye ndiyoyika imozulu kuba ndikubona xa kunetha
Doc told me to travel, but there’s COVID on the planes
– Udokotela wandixelela ukuba ndihambe, kodwa KUKHO I-COVID kwiinqwelomoya
And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
– Kwaye ndiyamthanda I-Vermont, kodwa ixesha leentonga
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
– Kwaye ndabona umama wakho, walibala ukuba ndikho
And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
– Kwaye isiqingatha setyala lam, kodwa ndithanda ukudlala ixhoba
I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
– Ndiza kusela utywala de kufike abahlobo bam Kwikrismesi
And I’ll dream each night of some version of you
– Kwaye ndiza kuphupha busuku ngabunye inguqulelo yakho
That I might not have, but I did not lose
– Mhlawumbi andinalo, kodwa ndilahlekile
Now your tire tracks and one pair of shoes
– Ngoku umkhondo wakho wevili kunye nesihlangu esinye sezihlangu
And I’m split in half, but that’ll have to do
– Ndihlulwe kwisiqingatha, kodwa oku kufuneka kwenziwe
So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
– Ngoko ndacinga ukuba ukuba ndibeka into elungileyo kuyo yonke into yam embi
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
– Ukuze ndikwazi ukubucima ubumnyama endabuzuza ilifa kutata
No, I am no longer funny ’cause I miss the way you laugh
– No, no, i’m not funny, i’m missin ‘ the way i’m smiling
You once called me forever now you still can’t call me back
– Ubukhe wandibiza ngonaphakade ngoku awunakundifowunela
And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
– Kwaye ndiyamthanda I-Vermont, kodwa ixesha leentonga
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
– Kwaye ndabona umama wakho, walibala ukuba ndikho
And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
– Kwaye isiqingatha setyala lam, kodwa ndithanda ukudlala ixhoba
I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
– Ndiza kusela utywala de kufike abahlobo bam Kwikrismesi
And I’ll dream each night of some version of you
– Kwaye ndiza kuphupha busuku ngabunye inguqulelo yakho
That I might not have, but I did not lose
– Mhlawumbi andinalo, kodwa ndilahlekile
Now your tire tracks and one pair of shoes
– Ngoku umkhondo wakho wevili kunye nesihlangu esinye sezihlangu
And I’m split in half, but that’ll have to do
– Ndihlulwe kwisiqingatha, kodwa oku kufuneka kwenziwe
Oh, that’ll have to do
– Owu, kuya kufuneka uyenze
My other half was you
– Esinye isiqingatha sam nguwe
I hope this pain’s just passin’ through
– Ndiyathemba ukuba le ntlungu idlula nje
But I doubt it
– Kodwa ndiyathandabuza
And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
– Kwaye ndiyamthanda I-Vermont, kodwa ixesha leentonga
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed

– Ngoku umkhondo wakho wevili kunye nesihlangu esinye sezihlangu
And I’m split in half, but that’ll have to do
– Ndihlulwe kwisiqingatha, kodwa oku kufuneka kwenziwe
Have to do
– Kufuneka wenze
