For Yellow Walls

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For yellow walls
We spent our days, into the night together
We built the fire, into the night
We let it burn forever
We fell in love, we fell apart
I put it back together
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
For You-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I feel so great, but now I′m afraid
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
For you-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
No place to live, no place to lie
No place to love, not ever
When I was young didn't see much
See much of Love
Did You-oh-oh, oh-oh
Did you-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I know I don′t get much right now
For what I got I'm proud
Are you-oh-oh, oh-oh
Are you-oh-oh, oh-oh
For yellow walls
We spent our days, into the night together
We built the fire, into the night
We let it burn forever
I feel so great, but now I'm afraid
You-oh-oh, oh-oh
Hey!
Wait! Don′t misplace all your-
Hey! Just learn to ship your shape
But now I′m so afraid
Of you
For yellow walls
We spent our days, into the night together
We built a fire into the night
We let it burn forever
I feel so great, but now I'm afraid
You-oh-oh, oh-oh
For you-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

For you-oh-oh
For you-oh-oh-oh

Letra al español

Para paredes amarillas
Pasamos nuestros días, en la noche juntos
Construimos el fuego, en la noche
Lo dejamos arder para siempre
Nos enamoramos, nos derrumbamos
Lo volví a armar
Oh oh oh oh oh
Para ti-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Me siento muy bien, pero ahora tengo miedo
Oh oh oh oh oh
Para ti-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
No hay lugar para vivir, no hay lugar para mentir
No hay lugar para amar, nunca
Cuando era joven no veía mucho
Ver mucho del amor
¿Has-oh-oh, oh-oh
¿Has-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Sé que no tengo mucho en este momento
Por lo que tengo, estoy orgulloso
Eres-oh-oh, oh-oh
Eres-oh-oh, oh-oh
Para paredes amarillas
Pasamos nuestros días, en la noche juntos
Construimos el fuego, en la noche
Lo dejamos arder para siempre
Me siento muy bien, pero ahora tengo miedo
Tú-oh-oh, oh-oh
¡Oye!
¡Espere! No pierdas todos tus-
¡Oye! Solo aprende a enviar tu forma
Pero ahora estoy tan asustado
De ti
Para paredes amarillas
Pasamos nuestros días, en la noche juntos
Armamos un fuego en la noche
Lo dejamos arder para siempre
Me siento muy bien, pero ahora tengo miedo
Tú-oh-oh, oh-oh
Para ti-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Para ti-oh-oh
Para ti-oh-oh-oh
