Lyrics
Please, open the door
– Sicela uvule umnyango
Nothing is different, we’ve been here before
– Akukho lutho oluhlukile, besilokhu silapha ngaphambili
Pacing these halls, trying to talk
– Ukuhambisa lezi zindlu, ukuzama ukukhuluma
Over the silence
– Phezu kokuthula
And pride sticks out his tongue
– Futhi ukuziqhenya kuveza ulimi lwakhe
Laughs at the portrait that we become
– Ukuhleka isithombe esiba yiso
Stuck in a frame, unable to change
– Ngibambeke esithombeni, ngingakwazi ukushintsha
I was wrong
– Nganginephutha
I’m late, but I’m here right now
– Sekwephuzile, kodwa ngilapha manje
Though, I used to be romantic
– Nokho, ngangivame ukuba nothando
I forgot somehow
– Ngikhohliwe ngandlela thile
Time can make you blind
– Isikhathi singakwenza ube yimpumputhe
But I see you now
– Kodwa ngiyakubona manje
As we’re laying in the darkness
– Njengoba silele ebumnyameni
Did I wait too long
– Ingabe ngangilinde isikhathi eside kakhulu
To turn the lights back on?
– Ukuvula izibani?
Here, stuck on a hill
– Lapha, unamathele egqumeni
Outsiders inside the home that we built
– Abantu bangaphandle ngaphakathi endlini esiyakhile
The cold settles in, it’s been a long
– Umkhuhlane uyahlala, sekuyisikhathi eside
Winter of indifference
– Ubusika bokunganaki
And maybe you love me, maybe you don’t
– Futhi mhlawumbe uyangithanda, mhlawumbe awungithandi
Maybe you’ll learn to and maybe you won’t
– Mhlawumbe uzofunda futhi mhlawumbe ngeke
You’ve had enough, but I won’t give up
– Usukhathele, kodwa ngeke ngiyeke
On you
– Kuwe
I’m late, but I’m here right now
– Sekwephuzile, kodwa ngilapha manje
And I’m trying to find the magic
– Futhi ngizama ukuthola umlingo
That we lost somehow
– Ukuthi ngandlela thile silahlekelwe
Maybe I was blind
– Mhlawumbe ngangiyimpumputhe
But I see you now
– Kodwa ngiyakubona manje
As we’re laying in the darkness
– Njengoba silele ebumnyameni
Did I wait too long
– Ingabe ngangilinde isikhathi eside kakhulu
To turn the lights back on?
– Ukuvula izibani?
I’m late, but I’m here right now
– Sekwephuzile, kodwa ngilapha manje
Is there still time for forgiveness?
– Ingabe kusekhona isikhathi sokuthethelelwa?
Won’t you tell me how?
– Awungitsheli kanjani?
I can’t read your mind
– Angikwazi ukufunda ingqondo yakho
But I see you now
– Kodwa ngiyakubona manje
As we’re layin’ in the darkness
– Njengoba silele ebumnyameni
Did I wait too long
– Ingabe ngangilinde isikhathi eside kakhulu
To turn the lights back on?
– Ukuvula izibani?
I’m here right now
– Ngilapha manje
Yes, I’m here right now
– Yebo, ngilapha manje
Looking for forgiveness
– Ukufuna intethelelo
I can see
– Ngiyabona
As we’re laying in the darkness
– Njengoba silele ebumnyameni
Yes, we’re laying in the darkness
– Yebo, silele ebumnyameni
Did I wait too long
– Ingabe ngangilinde isikhathi eside kakhulu
To turn the lights back on?
– Ukuvula izibani?
