Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
The sky is grey, the trees are pink
– Isibhakabhaka singwevu, izihlahla zipinki
It’s almost spring and I can’t wait and I can’t think
– Cishe kusentwasahlobo futhi angikwazi ukulinda futhi angikwazi ukucabanga
The sidewalk’s paved with petals like a wedding aisle
– Umgwaqo onqamula emgwaqweni ugcwele amacembe afana nesigcawu somshado
I wonder how long it would take to walk eight hundred miles
– Ngiyazibuza ukuthi kungathatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuhamba amakhilomitha angamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili
To say I do, I did, I will, I would
– Ukuze ngithi ngiyakwenza, ngiyakwenza, ngiyokwenza, ngiyokwenza
I’m not sorry, not certain, not perfect, not good
– Angizisoli, angiqiniseki, angiphelele, angilungile
But I love you, and every day
– Kodwa ngiyakuthanda, futhi nsuku zonke
That I knew and didn’t say
– Lokho engangikwazi futhi angizange ngikusho
Is lost time
– Isikhathi esilahlekile
And I’m knocking down your door
– Futhi ngiyangqongqoza emnyango wakho
‘Cause I’m trying to make up for
– Ngoba ngizama ukubuyisana
Lost time
– Isikhathi esilahlekile
Wish you were here
– Ngifisa sengathi ngabe ulapha
Wish I was there
– Ngifisa sengathi ngabe ngikhona
I wish that we could have a place that we could share
– Ngifisa sengathi singaba nendawo esingabelana ngayo
Not only stolen moments in abandoned halls
– Hhayi nje kuphela izikhathi ezebiwe emahholo ashiywe dengwane
Quiet touch in elevators and bathroom stalls
– Thinta Quiet in elevators kanye yokugezela izitolo
But I will, I would, I did, I do
– Kodwa ngizokwenza, ngizokwenza, ngizokwenza, ngizokwenza
For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you
– Ngenxa yenjabulo, ngenxa yempilo yami, ngenxa yami, ngenxa yakho
‘Cause I love you, and every day
– Ngoba ngiyakuthanda, futhi nsuku zonke
That I knew and didn’t say
– Lokho engangikwazi futhi angizange ngikusho
Is lost time
– Isikhathi esilahlekile
Knocking down your door
– Ukungqongqoza emnyango wakho
‘Cause I’m trying to make up for
– Ngoba ngizama ukubuyisana
Lost time
– Isikhathi esilahlekile
Nothing lasts forever but let’s see how far we get
– Akukho lutho oluhlalaeverade kodwa ake sibone ukuthi sithola kude kangakanani
So when it comes my time to lose you
– Ngakho uma kufika isikhathi sami sokulahlekelwa nguwe
I’ll have made the most of it
– Ngizokwenza konke okusemandleni ami
Our formal attire
– Izingubo zethu ezisemthethweni
On the floor
– Phansi
In a pile
– Enqwabeni
In the morning
– Ekuseni
I will fold it while you get ready for work, I hear you
– Ngizoyigoqa lapho usulungele umsebenzi, ngiyakuzwa
Singing in the shower, it’s the song I showed you years ago
– Ukucula eshaweni, ingoma engikubonise yona eminyakeni edlule
It’s nice to know you listen to it after all this time
– Kuhle ukwazi ukuthi uyilalela ngemva kwakho konke lokhu
I put your clothes on the dresser with your 60 day chip
– Ngafaka izingubo zakho ekhabetheni nge chip yakho yezinsuku ezingu 60
And your broken gold chain, your unpaid parking ticket
– Futhi igolide chain yakho ephukile, ithikithi lakho yokupaka engakhokhiwe
I notice everything about you, I can’t help it
– Ngiyabona konke ngawe, angikwazi ukukusiza
It’s not a choice, it’s been this way since we met
– Akukhona ukukhetha, bekulokhu kunjalo kusukela sahlangana
‘Cause I love you, and every day
– Ngoba ngiyakuthanda, futhi nsuku zonke
That I knew and didn’t say
– Lokho engangikwazi futhi angizange ngikusho
Is a crying shame
– Kuyihlazo elikhalayo
It’s a crime
– Kuyicala
A waste of space
– Ukuchitha isikhala
Lost time
– Isikhathi esilahlekile
