Lately
Turn Off The Stars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stuck in a rut and you can't get out
Wanted to run but I had to doubt
That I was alive like the very first time
I swear to you that this is life
So take me awayto another year
Where everything is so unclear
One day I will understand
All these plans, all these plans

But i just can't figure you out
No, no, I just can't figure you out

You are a mystery
Tell me what's wrong with me
You are a mystery
But you're all that i wanna be lately

The world ain't what it's supposed to be
Does it sicken you, 'cause it sickens me
One day i will learn to swim
Out of this din

If I knew everything about everything
There would be no time for faith
I'm alright

You are a mystery
Tell me what's wrong with me
You are a mystery
Tell me what's wrong with me




You are a mystery
Tell me the answers please

Lyrics:

I'm packing my bags
Estou arrumando as minhas malas

That I didn't unpack the last time
Que não desempacotei da última vez

I'm saying see you again
Estou dizendo vejo você de novo

So many times it's becoming my tag line
Tantas vezes que está se tornando a minha marca


But you know the truth
Mas você sabe a verdade

I'd rather hold you
Eu prefiro te abraçar

Than try to catch this flight
Do que tentar pegar esse voo

So many things I'd rather say
Tantas coisas que eu prefiro te dizer

But for now, it's goodbye
Mas, por enquanto, é adeus


You say I'm always leaving you
Você diz que eu estou sempre te deixando

When you're sleeping alone
Quando você está dormindo sozinha

But the car's outside
Mas o carro está lá fora

But I don't wanna go tonight
Mas eu não quero ir hoje à noite


I'm not getting in the Addison Lee
Eu não estou entrando no táxi da Addison Lee

Unless you pack your bags
A menos que você faça suas malas

You're coming with me
Você vai vir comigo

I'm tired of loving from afar
Estou cansado de amar de longe

And never being where you are
E nunca estar onde você está

Close the windows, lock the doors
Feche as janelas, tranque as portas

Don't wanna leave you anymore
Não quero mais te deixar


I'm staring at the same four walls
Estou olhando para as mesmas quatro paredes

In a different hotel
Em outro hotel

It's an unfamiliar feeling
É um sentimento desconhecido

But I know it so well
Mas eu conheço tão bem


Oh, but you know the truth
Oh, mas você sabe a verdade

I'd rather hold you
Eu prefiro te abraçar

Than this mobile in my hand
Do que esse celular na minha mão

But I guess it'll do
Mas acho que vai servir

'Cause for you, I would run up my phone bill
Porque, para você, eu aumentaria minha conta telefônica


You say I'm always leaving you
Você diz que eu estou sempre te deixando

When you need me the most, but, darling
Quando você mais precisa de mim, mas querida

But the car's outside
Mas o carro está lá fora

But I don't wanna go tonight
Mas eu não quero ir hoje à noite


I'm not getting in the Addison Lee
Eu não estou entrando no táxi da Addison Lee

Unless you pack your bags
A menos que você faça suas malas

You're coming with me
Você vai vir comigo

I'm tired of loving from afar
Estou cansado de amar de longe

And never being where you are
E nunca estar onde você está

Close the windows, lock the doors
Feche as janelas, tranque as portas

Don't wanna leave you anymore
Não quero mais te deixar


Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah

Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah

Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah

Don't wanna leave you anymore
Não quero mais te deixar


Oh, darling, all of the city lights
Oh, querida, todas as luzes da cidade

Never shine as bright as your eyes
Nunca vão brilhar tanto quando os seus olhos

I would trade them all for a minute more
Eu trocaria todas elas por mais um minuto

But the car's outside
Mas o carro está lá fora

And he's called me twice
E ele já me ligou duas vezes

But he's gonna have to wait tonight
Mas ele vai ter que esperar hoje à noite


I'm not getting in the Addison Lee
Eu não estou entrando no táxi da Addison Lee

Unless you pack your bags
A menos que você faça suas malas

You're coming with me
Você vai vir comigo

I'm tired of loving from afar
Estou cansado de amar de longe

And never being where you are
E nunca estar onde você está

Close the windows, lock the doors
Feche as janelas, tranque as portas

Don't wanna leave you anymore
Não quero mais te deixar


Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah

Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah

Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah

No, I don't wanna leave you anymore
Não, não quero mais te deixar


I don't wanna leave you (ooh, ooh, ah, ah)
Não quero te deixar (ooh, ooh, ah, ah)

I don't wanna leave you (ooh, ooh, ah, ah)
Não quero te deixar (ooh, ooh, ah, ah)

I don't wanna leave you (oh, ooh, ah)
Não quero te deixar (ooh, ooh, ah)

Don't wanna leave you anymore
Não quero mais te deixar

Sto preparando le valigie che non ho disfatto l'ultima volta
Dico "Ci vediamo ancora" così tante volte che sta diventando il mio slogan
Ma tu sai la verità, preferirei trattenerti
Allora prova a prendere questo volo
Quante cose preferirei dire
Ma per ora è un arrivederci
Dici che me ne vado sempre
Tu, quando dormi da solo
Ma la macchina è fuori
Ma non voglio andare stasera
Non entrerò nell'Addison Lee
A meno che tu non faccia le valigie
Verrai con me
Sono stanco di amare da lontano
E non essere mai dove sei
Chiudi le finestre, chiudi le porte
Non voglio lasciarti più
Oh-oh, ah
Sto fissando le stesse quattro mura in un altro hotel
È una sensazione sconosciuta ma la conosco così bene
Oh, ma sai la verità, preferirei trattenerti
Di questo cellulare che ho in mano
Ma immagino che andrà bene, perché per te
Farei lievitare la bolletta del telefono
Dici che me ne vado sempre
Tu, quando hai più bisogno di me
Ma la macchina è fuori
Ma non voglio andare stasera
Non entrerò nell'Addison Lee
A meno che tu non faccia le valigie
Verrai con me
Sono stanco di amare da lontano
E non essere mai dove sei
Chiudi le finestre, chiudi le porte
Non voglio lasciarti più
Ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ah
Non voglio lasciarti più
Oh, tesoro, tutte le luci della città
Non brillare mai tanto quanto i tuoi occhi
Li scambierei tutti per un minuto in più
Ma la macchina è fuori
E mi ha chiamato due volte
Ma dovrà aspettare stasera
Non entrerò nell'Addison Lee
A meno che tu non faccia le valigie
Verrai con me
Sono stanco di amare da lontano
E non essere mai dove sei
Chiudi le finestre, chiudi le porte
Non voglio lasciarti più
Ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ah
No, non voglio più lasciarti
Non voglio lasciarti
(Ooh-ooh, ah) Non voglio lasciarti
(Ooh-ooh, ah) Non voglio lasciarti
Non voglio lasciarti più

I'm packin' my bags that I didn't unpack the last time
I'm sayin', "See you again, " so many times, it's becoming my tagline
But you know the truth, I'd rather hold you
Than try to catch this flight
So many things I'd rather say
But for now, it's goodbye
You say I'm always leavin'
You, when you're sleepin' alone
But the, the car's outside
But I don't wanna go tonight
I'm not gettin' in the Addison Lee
Unless you pack your bags
You're comin' with me
I'm tired of lovin' from afar
And never being where you are
Close the windows, lock the doors
Don't wanna leave you anymore
Oh-oh, ah
I'm starin' at the same four walls in a different hotel
It's an unfamiliar feelin' but I know it so well
Oh, but you know the truth, I'd rather hold you

This song is for all the people who are in a long distance relationship, for all the people with demanding jobs that pulls them away for their lovers, and for all the people who are looking for someone to feel this much deeply about. Just a masterpiece ❤❤

@meekingsheepyt9416

You are both right and wrong, Yes is it a song for someone who is inlove with someone but not really. It's someone who lets their loved ones go and slowly fading away in their life.

@josephlloyd2179

@@meekingsheepyt9416 but he still says he no longer want to leave her or go away without her

@nandana293

Not in a relationship but I live FAR away from my family and it’s so hard to let go of them once it’s time to leave, that’s the sole reason I relate to this song
