You love New York in the summer." So let’s gather up the pieces of this broken wilted thing. It’s worth the struggle. I just ache to touch you. I’ve always wanted you too close. And I said Why why why is it hard to sleep without you? Well I don’t mind if you build your dreams around it. We won’t survive on this borrowed time; I don’t know why you’d wanna try. I said "Why why why do we waste time on these white lies?"      I catch a glimpse of fingernails with cracked pink polish Tapping out a rhythm I’m just wondering what you’re thinking. There’s a faded photograph of someone else you used to love. Can’t stop from wishing That you’d just forget him. I’ve always wanted you too close. And I said Why why why is it hard to sleep without you? Well I don’t mind if you build your dreams around it. We won’t survive on this borrowed time; I don’t know why you’d wanna try. I said "Why why why do we waste time on these white lies?" All these white lies.     I remember the night the hotel bed You cried out loud. You were still in love with me. Through time and space oh everything You’ve wasted all your precious dreams and faith it seems. Needless crying... And I said Why why why is it hard to sleep without you? Well I don’t mind if you build your dreams around it. We won’t survive on this borrowed time; I don’t know why you’d wanna try. I said "Why why why do we waste time?" And I said Why why why is it hard to sleep without you? Well I don’t mind if you build your dreams around it. We won’t survive on this borrowed time; I don’t know why you’d wanna try. I said "Why why why do we waste time on these white lies?"      All these white lies

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les souffrances d'une relation compliquée, où l'absence de l'autre rend les nuits presque insupportables. On ressent une profonde nostalgie et un désir de retrouver des moments partagés, tout en se rendant compte que des mensonges creux peuvent rendre la connexion encore plus difficile. Malgré les rêves et les espoirs, il y a une prise de conscience que cette relation se trouve dans un temps emprunté, ce qui rend la situation d'autant plus précieuse et alarmante. L'histoire semble se dérouler dans le contexte d'un amour perdu, où les souvenirs d'instants heureux s'entremêlent avec la douleur de l'absence et des regrets. L’artiste s’interroge sur la nécessité de se mentir à soi-même, alors qu'il est clair que l’amour subsiste, mais que le poids du passé complique la compréhension des sentiments actuels.
