Poetry by Dead Men
Justin Tranter, Sara Bareilles
Ooh
By the time you hear this, I'll be in the rearview mirror
I'll even wear that green dress you like, so when I disappear
You can turn around, one last look at the girl you lost
In the time you took to make up your mind
Between the two roads
Go and take some more time
But me and mine must go
I tried to wait it out, no more
Can't find the man I was waiting for
I wanted to be your girl in a white T-shirt
Over coffee, stirring in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
Stirring in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
(While you read me poetry by dead men)
While you read me poetry by dead men
By the time you hear this, who knows where I might be
Singin' 'bout another near-miss love that ended incomplete
I was ready, but you weren't
So jump with your net from this bridge you've burned
I wanted to tell you things, all the secrets I've been keepin'
I saw it in front of me, but then you just kept disappearin'
A good dream, almost
Now I tell your ghost
I wanted to be your girl in a white T-shirt
Over coffee, stirrin' in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
Stirrin' in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
(While you read me poetry by dead men)
While you read me poetry by dead men
Line after line, the words just left to remind
The two of us, oh, what we could have been
Poetry by dead men
Fire from embers, how can I make you remember?
With a turn of a phrase, would you turn to me if I say
I still want to be your girl?
I still wanna be your girl in a white T-shirt
Over coffee, stirrin' in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
Stirrin' in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
(While you read me poetry by dead men)
While you read me poetry by dead men
Ooh
Ooh
By the time you hear this, I'll be in the rearview mirror
Quando sentirai questo, sarò nello specchietto retrovisore
I'll even wear that green dress you like, so when I disappear
Indosserò anche quel vestito verde che ti piace, così quando sparirò
You can turn around, one last look at the girl you lost
Puoi girarti, un'ultima occhiata alla ragazza che hai perso
In the time you took to make up your mind
Nel tempo che hai impiegato per decidere
Between the two roads
Tra le due strade
Go and take some more time
Vai e prenditi ancora un po' di tempo
But me and mine must go
Ma io e i miei dobbiamo andare
I tried to wait it out, no more
Ho cercato di aspettare, non più
Can't find the man I was waiting for
Non riesco a trovare l'uomo che stavo aspettando
I wanted to be your girl in a white T-shirt
Volevo essere la tua ragazza in una maglietta bianca
Over coffee, stirring in the cinnamon
Sul caffè, mescolando la cannella
While you read me poetry by dead men
Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
Volevo essere la tua ragazza con le tue mani sulla mia pelle
Stirring in the cinnamon
Mescolando la cannella
While you read me poetry by dead men
Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti
(While you read me poetry by dead men)
(Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti)
While you read me poetry by dead men
Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti
By the time you hear this, who knows where I might be
Quando sentirai questo, chissà dove potrei essere
Singin' 'bout another near-miss love that ended incomplete
Cantando di un altro amore sfiorato che è finito incompleto
I was ready, but you weren't
Ero pronta, ma tu non lo eri
So jump with your net from this bridge you've burned
Quindi salta con la tua rete da questo ponte che hai bruciato
I wanted to tell you things, all the secrets I've been keepin'
Volevo dirti delle cose, tutti i segreti che ho tenuto
I saw it in front of me, but then you just kept disappearin'
Lo vedevo davanti a me, ma poi continuavi a sparire
A good dream, almost
Un bel sogno, quasi
Now I tell your ghost
Ora parlo al tuo fantasma
I wanted to be your girl in a white T-shirt
Volevo essere la tua ragazza in una maglietta bianca
Over coffee, stirrin' in the cinnamon
Sul caffè, mescolando la cannella
While you read me poetry by dead men
Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
Volevo essere la tua ragazza con le tue mani sulla mia pelle
Stirrin' in the cinnamon
Mescolando la cannella
While you read me poetry by dead men
Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti
(While you read me poetry by dead men)
(Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti)
While you read me poetry by dead men
Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti
Line after line, the words just left to remind
Linea dopo linea, le parole rimaste solo per ricordare
The two of us, oh, what we could have been
Noi due, oh, quello che avremmo potuto essere
Poetry by dead men
Poesie di uomini morti
Fire from embers, how can I make you remember?
Fuoco dalle braci, come posso farti ricordare?
With a turn of a phrase, would you turn to me if I say
Con un giro di frase, ti rivolgeresti a me se dico
I still want to be your girl?
Voglio ancora essere la tua ragazza?
I still wanna be your girl in a white T-shirt
Voglio ancora essere la tua ragazza in una maglietta bianca
Over coffee, stirrin' in the cinnamon
Sul caffè, mescolando la cannella
While you read me poetry by dead men
Mentre mi leggevi poesie di uomini morti
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
Volevo essere la tua ragazza con le tue mani sulla mia pelle
Stirrin' in the cinnamon
Mescolando la cannella

I'll even wear that green dress you like, so when I disappear
Até vou usar aquele vestido verde que você gosta, então quando eu desaparecer
You can turn around, one last look at the girl you lost
Você pode se virar, uma última olhada na garota que você perdeu
In the time you took to make up your mind
No tempo que você levou para se decidir
Between the two roads
Entre as duas estradas
Go and take some more time
Vá e tome mais algum tempo
But me and mine must go
Mas eu e os meus temos que ir
I tried to wait it out, no more
Eu tentei esperar, não mais
Can't find the man I was waiting for
Não consigo encontrar o homem que eu estava esperando

Eu queria ser sua garota em uma camiseta branca
Over coffee, stirring in the cinnamon
Tomando café, mexendo na canela
While you read me poetry by dead men
Enquanto você me lê poesia de homens mortos
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
Eu queria ser sua garota com suas mãos na minha pele
Stirring in the cinnamon
Mexendo na canela

By the time you hear this, who knows where I might be
Até você ouvir isso, quem sabe onde eu possa estar
Singin' 'bout another near-miss love that ended incomplete
Cantando sobre outro amor quase perdido que terminou incompleto
I was ready, but you weren't
Eu estava pronta, mas você não estava
So jump with your net from this bridge you've burned
Então pule com sua rede desta ponte que você queimou
I wanted to tell you things, all the secrets I've been keepin'
Eu queria te contar coisas, todos os segredos que eu estava guardando
I saw it in front of me, but then you just kept disappearin'
Eu vi isso na minha frente, mas então você apenas continuou desaparecendo
A good dream, almost
Um bom sonho, quase
Now I tell your ghost
Agora eu conto ao seu fantasma
I wanted to be your girl in a white T-shirt
Eu queria ser sua garota em uma camiseta branca
Over coffee, stirrin' in the cinnamon

Para cuando escuches esto, quién sabe dónde podría estar
Singin' 'bout another near-miss love that ended incomplete
Cantando sobre otro amor casi perdido que terminó incompleto
I was ready, but you weren't
Yo estaba lista, pero tú no
So jump with your net from this bridge you've burned
Así que salta con tu red desde este puente que has quemado
I wanted to tell you things, all the secrets I've been keepin'
Quería contarte cosas, todos los secretos que he estado guardando
I saw it in front of me, but then you just kept disappearin'
