This Way
Blacks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call me later, I’m good.
Here goes my phone on a pile of clothes.
I want a sip of the sun,
I haven’t tasted it in so long.

Hey baby, how have you been?
I haven’t seen you around like this.
You see, I’m just getting up
I think we should take a peek outside.

Oh oh oh,
I’m everything I feared I’d be
and I like myself, I like myself this way.

I’ll call you later, it’s fine.
I brought a storm to my sunny day.
Brick walls are fading me out,
Graffiti dreams that I can’t escape

Hey baby, how have you been?
Do you feel magnets that are pushing you?
You see, you know where to go.
The painted ladies are calling now.

Oh oh oh,
I’m everything I feared I’d be
and I like myself, I like myself this way.

Ahogándome en el tiempo sin ritmo ni suceso.
Veo cada hora y su muerte sin acecho.
Dudo cada día si esta noche será mía.
Cierro la cortina cuando dudo de la vida.
Y es que me he vuelto lo que más temo,
Me he agotado, incluso odiado.
Marcho despacio y sin sueño, callo lo que me arrepiento.
Vivo drenado y sin freno y me acepto como soy.

Oh oh oh,




I’m everything I feared I’d be
and I like myself, I like myself this way.
