Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
verse
If I could throw my arms around you
Si pudiera arrojar mis brazos a tu alrededor
For just another day, maybe it′d feel like the first time
Solo por otro día, tal vez se sienta como la primera vez
Now that you're away, I′ll just spend my life not knowing
Ahora que estás lejos, pasaré mi vida sin saber
How it'd feel to
Cómo se sentiría
These days I can't shake the awful feeling
Estos días no puedo deshacerme de la horrible sensación
I′m missing something I can′t place, is that you?
Me estoy perdiendo algo que no puedo ubicar, ¿eres tú?
Manifesting like the fear of an oven left on
Manifestando como el miedo a un horno dejado encendido
God, I felt so much back then, I was soft as a dune
Dios, sentí tanto en ese entonces, era suave como una duna
chorus
If ever you come back
Si alguna vez vuelves
Wherever you find your way to
Donde sea que encuentres tu camino
And though it may not last
Y aunque puede que no dure
Just know that I'll be here longing
Solo sé que estaré aquí anhelando
verse
I′ll wait, passing time just popping wheelies
Esperaré, pasaré el tiempo haciendo caballitos
And kicking 'round this flyover state
Y pateando este estado elevado
Watching you show off to the world
Mirándote lucir ante el mundo
The parts I fell so hard for
Las partes por las que me enamoré tanto
God, I wish we could go back there
Dios, desearía que pudiéramos volver allí
Left alone in my room
Dejado solo en mi habitación
I know they deserve you too
Yo sé que ellos también te merecen
And maybe I′m not that worthy
Y tal vez no soy tan digno
chorus
If ever you come back
Si alguna vez vuelves
Wherever you find your way to
Donde sea que encuentres tu camino
And though it may not last
Y aunque puede que no dure
Just know that I'll be here longing
Solo sé que estaré aquí anhelando
If ever you come back
Si alguna vez vuelves
Wherever you find your way to
Donde sea que encuentres tu camino
And though it may not last
Y aunque puede que no dure
You know that I′ll be here, always
Sabes que estaré aquí siempre
