AIR Lyrics English Translation by Sick Luke
(feat. Venerus & Ele A)
I think about how once the problem was just tying my shoes
How far away I am, a distant child
From the fears of an adult, from an important thought
I used to count the stars, so I’d get lost under that giant sky
And for every star I saw, I’d ask myself two thousand questions
And it seems so far away now (So far away)
Farther away, like it slipped right through my hands
Hands become the steps with which we walk
If you want, we’ll meet up, now it’s all in the past
What have we done? I’m starting to remember
If for those eyes, a cloud is like flying
Before it turns to rain so we can wash ourselves clean
Wash the mud off these shoes
And from the places they’ve been (And from the places they’ve been)
Wash the hurt away and then meet in a special place
In my headphones, I’ve got a song that goes (Goes)
It keeps me company, just like memories do
It’s so sweet, even being alone
Just tie those Nikes tight
Then it all makes sense
Then it all makes sense (Three, two, one)
Three, two, one
Now close your eyes, picture a future
When you open them, the dark will be gone
Up here in my head, besides you, I don’t want anyone
But it’s clear I’ve got a doubt
Tell me, when did everything get so complicated?
Laugh, an adult does some crazy math, ah
When all it took was one plus one
But it’s all in the past now, I’m running, my Nikes are untied
I’d love to trip up, start making mistakes again
Make up stories, but not to justify myself anymore, yeah, ah
Threads intertwine like hands, I watch a heron fly away
There’s where I carved your initial, now it’s covered by the ivy, yeah
I don’t want to think about the problems
When I was six, a Playmobil was all I needed
But then everything falls into place, like a game of Memory, ah
Climb up to the top of a branch, sit down
Look at the simplest things
Take a breath and count to ten
One, two, three
In my headphones, I’ve got a song that goes (Goes)
It keeps me company, just like memories do
It’s so sweet, even being alone
Just tie those Nikes tight
Then it all makes sense
Then it all makes sense
D-D-D-DOPAMINE
Just tie those Nikes tight
Then it all makes sense
Then it all makes sense
