Lyrics
There’s guitars ringin’ now from the top floor of this house
– Manje kunamagitare azwakalayo esitezi esiphezulu saleli khaya
That I’ve learned to rest my soul inside
– Ukuthi ngifunde ukuphumula umphefumulo wami ngaphakathi
Be still, be quiet, this world’s a giant
– Thula, thula, leli zwe liyisidlakela
That I don’t feel like facing tonight
– Ukuthi angizizwa ngithanda ukubhekana nalobu busuku
I don’t have the words yet, I’ll smoke a cigarette
– Anginawo amazwi okwamanje, ngizobhema ugwayi
Even though she’ll smell it on my breath
– Ngisho noma ezokuhogela lapho ngiphefumula
I say I want kids even though I can’t quit
– Ngithi ngifuna izingane ngisho noma ngingakwazi ukuyeka
The things that make me childish
– Izinto ezingenza ngibe ingane
But it ain’t all bad, the windows are cracked
– Kodwa akukubi konke, amafasitela aqhekekile
I came down to hear you laughin’ in the kitchen, babe
– Ngeza ngizokuzwa uhleka ekhishini, babe
Let’s pour some wine, there’s still a little time
– Ake uthele iwayini, kusekhona isikhathi esincane
And maybe a little bit left in me to save
– Futhi mhlawumbe kancane kwesokunxele kimi ukusindisa
Be still, be quiet, the world’s a giant
– Thula, thula, izwe liyisidlakela
I ain’t ever had myself a David’s heart
– Angikaze ngibe nenhliziyo Kadavide
I’ll say sorry to God for all the trouble I caused
– Ngizoxolisa Kunkulunkulu ngazo zonke izinkinga engangizibangele
Maybe that’s a good place for me to start
– Mhlawumbe leyo yindawo enhle yokuba ngiqale
You’ll be holdin’ to no other holdless boy
– Ngeke ubambelele kunoma yimuphi omunye umfana ongenasibindi
I heard breathin’ this world is the thief of joy
– Ngezwa ukuphefumula leli zwe liyisela lenjabulo
You’re better off fightin’ than you are dead
– Kungcono ulwe kunawe ufile
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Isikhathi sokuphumula asisona manje ngoba izingane zidinga ukondliwa
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Isikhathi sokuphumula asisona manje ngoba izingane zidinga ukondliwa
Guitars ringin’ now from the top of that house
– Ama-guitar azwakala manje esuka phezulu kuleyo ndlu
We used to rest our souls inside
– Sasivame ukuphumula imiphefumulo yethu ngaphakathi
Nothing lasts, memories pass
– Akukho okuhlala isikhathi eside, izinkumbulo ziyadlula
Think of home on an August night
– Cabanga ngekhaya ngobusuku buka August
There’s reasons to go, reasons to stay
– Kunezizathu zokuhamba, izizathu zokuhlala
Just know you’ll fear it all anyway
– Yazi nje ukuthi uzokwesaba konke noma kunjalo
Be still, be quiet, this world’s a giant
– Thula, thula, leli zwe liyisidlakela
Maybe there’s a little bit left to save
– Mhlawumbe kusele okuncane ukusindisa
You’ll be holding to no other holdless boy
– Ngeke ubambe omunye umfana ongenasibindi
I heard breathin’ this world is the thief of joy
– Ngezwa ukuphefumula leli zwe liyisela lenjabulo
You’re better off fightin’ than you are dead
– Kungcono ulwe kunawe ufile
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Isikhathi sokuphumula asisona manje ngoba izingane zidinga ukondliwa
The time for rest ain’t now, the kids need fed
– Isikhathi sokuphumula asisekho manje, izingane zidinga ukondliwa
