A Faint Illusion
I know you know, despite your reservations,
Out of everything in this world, I choose you,
It goes to show, despite our conversations,
Back when you were just a little girl, we had no clue,
Just what we were getting ourselves into,
We were merely trying something new.
Dissolve myself in you,
'Cause I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up,
No I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up,
Cancel myself to feel you,
'Cause I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up,
No I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up.
I know you know, despite the implications,
We were out of character, I always knew,
Just what we were getting ourselves into,
We were merely trying something new.
Dissolve myself in you,
'Cause I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up,
No I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up,
Cancel myself to feel you,
'Cause I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up,
No I'm not gonna,
Not gonna give you up.
When we used to lay ourselves out,
On the front lawn of their ivory towers,
We would show our bodies to world,
Then we would go home,
And work on a castle of our own.
You were impatient, I was a fallback,
A dirty mistake, you never called back,
You were salvation, I never told you.
You were impatient, I was a fallback,
A dirty mistake, you never called back,
You were salvation, I never told you,
I always had the notion,
I would fall in love with you,
You were a call girl, I was a gentleman,
A faint illusion of your simple plan,
I was salvation, you never told me,
That you always had the notion,
That you knew what we would be.
I know you know, despite your reservations,
Out of everything in this world, I choose you.
Una ilusión tenue
Sé que sabes, a pesar de tus reservas
De todo en este mundo, te elijo a ti
Esto demuestra, a pesar de nuestras conversaciones
Cuando eras una niña pequeña, no teníamos ni idea
Justo en lo que nos estábamos metiendo
Sólo estábamos intentando algo nuevo
Disolver en ti
Porque no voy a
No voy a entregarte
No, no voy a
No voy a entregarte
Cancela para sentirte
Porque no voy a
No voy a entregarte
No, no voy a
No voy a entregarte
Sé que sabes, a pesar de las implicaciones
Estábamos fuera de carácter, siempre lo sabía
Justo en lo que nos estábamos metiendo
Sólo estábamos intentando algo nuevo
Disolver en ti
Porque no voy a
No voy a entregarte
No, no voy a
No voy a entregarte
Cancela para sentirte
Porque no voy a
No voy a entregarte
No, no voy a
No voy a entregarte
Cuando solíamos ponernos a cabo
En el jardín delantero de sus torres de marfil
Mostraríamos nuestros cuerpos al mundo
Entonces iríamos a casa
Y trabajar en un castillo propio
Estabas impaciente, yo era un fracaso
Un sucio error, nunca volviste a llamar
Tú fuiste la salvación, nunca te lo dije
Estabas impaciente, yo era un fracaso
Un sucio error, nunca volviste a llamar
Tú fuiste la salvación, nunca te lo dije
Siempre tuve la noción
Me enamoraría de ti
Eras una prostituta, yo era un caballero
Una débil ilusión de su simple plan
Yo era la salvación, nunca me lo dijiste
Que siempre tuviste la noción
Que sabías lo que seríamos
Sé que sabes, a pesar de tus reservas
De todo en este mundo, te elijo a ti
