The Visitor Lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Verse 1]
We lay on towers, on rented time
I'm yours for hours, you're always mine
All things expire, I know you won't stay
But I seem to inspire you to say
[Chorus]
Say that you love me
Say I'm all you need
In the back of my mind, I
Know I'm temporary
You're holding me for the night for some pleasure
If that's all we are
Know I'll always be a visitor, mm
In your arms
[Verse 2]
It's in my nature to be cynical
I want to be remembered, so I get hysterical
I wanna be that one thing, somethin' special to you
Say you won't forget me, but you always do
[Chorus]
Then say that you love me
Say I'm all you need
In the back of my mind, I
Know I'm tеmporary
You're holding me for the night for somе pleasure
If that's all we are
Know I'll always be a visitor, mm
In your arms, in your arms, oh
[Bridge]
Mm, no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no
In your arms
[Chorus]
Say that you love me
Say I'm all you need
In the back of my mind, I
Know I'm temporary
You're holding me for the night for some pleasure
If that's all we are
Know I'll always be a visitor
No, no, no-no-no
Know I'll always be a visitor in your arms
We lay on towers, on rented time
I'm yours for hours, you're always mine
All things expire, I know you won't stay
But I seem to inspire you to say
[Chorus]
Say that you love me
Say I'm all you need
In the back of my mind, I
Know I'm temporary
You're holding me for the night for some pleasure
If that's all we are
Know I'll always be a visitor, mm
In your arms
[Verse 2]
It's in my nature to be cynical
I want to be remembered, so I get hysterical
I wanna be that one thing, somethin' special to you
Say you won't forget me, but you always do
[Chorus]
Then say that you love me
Say I'm all you need
In the back of my mind, I
Know I'm tеmporary
You're holding me for the night for somе pleasure
If that's all we are
Know I'll always be a visitor, mm
In your arms, in your arms, oh
[Bridge]
Mm, no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no
In your arms
[Chorus]
Say that you love me
Say I'm all you need
In the back of my mind, I
Know I'm temporary
You're holding me for the night for some pleasure
If that's all we are
Know I'll always be a visitor
No, no, no-no-no
Know I'll always be a visitor in your arms
Translation
Normal
[Verso 1]
Nos acostamos en torres, en tiempo prestado
Soy tuya por horas, tú siempre eres mío
Todo caduca, sé que no te quedarás
Pero parezco inspirarte a decir
[Coro]
Di que me amas
Di que soy todo lo que necesitas
En el fondo de mi mente, yo
Sé que soy temporal
Me sostienes por la noche por algún placer
Si eso es todo lo que somos
Sé que siempre seré una visitante, mm
En tus brazos
[Verso 2]
Es mi naturaleza ser cínica
Quiero ser recordada, así que me vuelvo histérica
Quiero ser esa única cosa, algo especial para ti
Di que no me olvidarás, pero siempre lo haces
[Coro]
Entonces di que me amas
Di que soy todo lo que necesitas
En el fondo de mi mente, yo
Sé que soy temporal
Me sostienes por la noche por algún placer
Si eso es todo lo que somos
Sé que siempre seré una visitante, mm
En tus brazos, en tus brazos, oh
[Puente]
Mm, no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no
En tus brazos
[Coro]
Di que me amas
Di que soy todo lo que necesitas
En el fondo de mi mente, yo
Sé que soy temporal
Me sostienes por la noche por algún placer
Si eso es todo lo que somos
Sé que siempre seré una visitante
No, no, no-no-no
Sé que siempre seré una visitante en tus brazos
Nos acostamos en torres, en tiempo prestado
Soy tuya por horas, tú siempre eres mío
Todo caduca, sé que no te quedarás
Pero parezco inspirarte a decir
[Coro]
Di que me amas
Di que soy todo lo que necesitas
En el fondo de mi mente, yo
Sé que soy temporal
Me sostienes por la noche por algún placer
Si eso es todo lo que somos
Sé que siempre seré una visitante, mm
