Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
I’m so tired of taking orders from everyone
– Ngikhathele kakhulu ukuthatha imiyalo kuwo wonke umuntu
And my house is like a hoarder’s, my bed undone
– Futhi indlu yami ifana neyomqoqi, umbhede wami awusekho
Books that I’ll never read, magazines
– Izincwadi engingasoze ngazifunda, omagazini
Photo strips of you and me
– Izithombe zakho nami
Felt so old at only seventeen
– Wazizwa emdala kakhulu eneminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa kuphela
Took a flight back to Texas just like every year
– Wathatha indiza ebuyela Etexas njengonyaka ngamunye
We barely talk, but our friendship can’t disappear
– Asikhulumi, kodwa ubungane bethu abukwazi ukunyamalala
At Kerbey Lane, the coffee tastes like gasoline
– Ekerbey lane, ikhofi linambitheka njengophethiloli
Could you order some for me?
– Ungakwazi yini oda ezinye kimi?
I’m too cold and I’m too tired to speak
– Ngibanda kakhulu futhi ngikhathele kakhulu ukuba ngikhulume
All my youth, I never knew that life would ever change
– Ubusha bami bonke, angikaze ngazi ukuthi ukuphila kuyoke kushintshe
But we keep on growing, didn’t think it’d show
– Kodwa siyaqhubeka sikhula, sasingacabangi ukuthi kuzobonakala
But I see it on your face
– Kodwa ngiyibona ebusweni bakho
The years have passed, but you laugh exactly the same
– Iminyaka isidlulile, kodwa wena ukuhleka ncamashi efanayo
When I see you for the holidays
– Lapho ngikubona ngamaholide
In those eyes, I see lifetimes I’ve had with you
– Kulawo mehlo, ngibona ukuphila enginakho nawe
From graduation, whole way back to elementary school
– Kusukela ekuthwesweni iziqu, yonke indlela ibuyele esikoleni samabanga aphansi
Teachers hang up the wreaths, children sing
– Othisha bavala imiqhele, izingane zicula
Years ago, that was you and me
– Eminyakeni eminingi edlule, kwakunguwe nami
What I’d give to once again be naive
– Engingakunika ukuba ngiphinde ngibe ongenalwazi
All my youth, I never knew that life would ever change
– Ubusha bami bonke, angikaze ngazi ukuthi ukuphila kuyoke kushintshe
But we keep on growing, didn’t think it’d show
– Kodwa siyaqhubeka sikhula, sasingacabangi ukuthi kuzobonakala
But I see it on your face
– Kodwa ngiyibona ebusweni bakho
The years have passed, but you laugh exactly the same
– Iminyaka isidlulile, kodwa wena ukuhleka ncamashi efanayo
When I see you for the holidays
– Lapho ngikubona ngamaholide
All my youth, I never knew that life would ever change
– Ubusha bami bonke, angikaze ngazi ukuthi ukuphila kuyoke kushintshe
But we keep on growing, didn’t think it’d show
– Kodwa siyaqhubeka sikhula, sasingacabangi ukuthi kuzobonakala
But I see it on your face
– Kodwa ngiyibona ebusweni bakho
The years have passed, but you laugh exactly the same
– Iminyaka isidlulile, kodwa wena ukuhleka ncamashi efanayo
When I see you for the holidays
– Lapho ngikubona ngamaholide
