Sitting here just watching you sleep

Wish I could slip inside and be

In some Technicolor dream

But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe

I'm not fool enough to think

You couldn't live life without me

考えるほどバカじゃないよ

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in

I didn't fight this hard to walk away

If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry

It's just because the words got in the way

それは言葉が邪魔をしただけなんだ

I remember how it used to be

I was you and you were me

We were more than just the same

Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight

When you want a kiss, I take a bite

Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights

キミの心が警察を呼びたいのなら、俺の権利も教えてくれよ

Last night I drak enough to drown

Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health

Look, we both know how much I've let you down

Janie don't you take your love to town

ジェニー、キミの愛を街に連れて行かないでくれ

★

Janie don't you take your love to town

Janie don't you take your love to town

If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away

Janie don't you take your love to town

ジェニー、キミの愛を街に連れて行かないでくれ

You deserve a shooter, a saint

Someone to give it to you straight

To find the soul throught flesh and bone

My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather

But it's left me feeling cold

Now all you want to do is take me home

今キミは俺を家に連れて帰るだけでいいんだ

I hated you, the night you said you loved me

I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself

I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me

I got one foot in, one foot off the ground

俺は今、片足しか地面に着いていないんだ

(繰り返し ★)

Sitting here while you're fast asleep

In the bathroom by the sink

Trying to write the right words down

I turn out the lights, close my eyes

There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight

What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now

Janie don't you take your love to town

ジェニー、キミの愛を街に連れて行かないでくれ

(繰り返し ★)
