Lyrics and translation Matthew Dear - Ahead of Myself

Ahead of Myself

Grown up a mess.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
There were days without rest.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I feel like running, but I gotta stay put.
Because I'm getting ahead of myself.
All the right notes can't make us grow old.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

I can't shake the politics that wash over your soul.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
Call off all your armies and let's go to sleep at home.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
It's the kind of bed that seems to be made on it's own.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I know better so I'll leave my hammer at the stone.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

I'll say something you'll be inclined to believe.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
Our conversation will turn and fight the disease.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'll come to bed with blood on my knees.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'll lick your wounds to get blood on my teeth.
But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Avant moi-même

J'ai grandi dans le désordre.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
Il y a eu des journées sans repos.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
J'ai envie de courir, mais je dois rester en place.
Parce que je me précipite.
Toutes les bonnes notes ne peuvent pas nous faire vieillir.
Mais attends, je me précipite.

Je ne peux pas me débarrasser de la politique qui envahit ton âme.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
Rappelle tous tes armées et allons dormir à la maison.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
C'est le genre de lit qui semble être fait tout seul.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
Je sais mieux, alors je laisserai mon marteau à la pierre.
Mais attends, je me précipite.

Je dirai quelque chose que tu seras enclin à croire.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
Notre conversation tournera et combattra la maladie.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
J'irai me coucher avec du sang sur les genoux.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
Je lécherai tes blessures pour avoir du sang sur les dents.
Mais attends, je me précipite.
