ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Is my back more honest than I think it is? I’ve gotta ask somebody or it’ll make me nervous I left behind that dream I swore by in a corner of an old classroom For my own sake as I took off on my new journey Maybe it’s not the train, or time, that I can’t catch up to in my muddy sneakers… maybe it’s me

But at any given moment, any given moment I wanna hold feelings in my arms That allow me to say I like what I like So that I can keep being myself Because at any given moment, any given moment I know that all these days I’ve spent lost and searching Will be my answer

I’ve got a dream that I will never, ever let anyone else take from me Even if that means I end up hurting other people without realizing it Because I’d really hate to go through life Constantly saying that things used to be better in the good old days I try to smile into my mirror even when I harbor feelings So bitter that I wish I could just disappear Seems to me like I’m doing just fine

At any given moment, any given moment I melt any impatient feelings I have Into the sun as it sets, Squeezing itself between the buildings So that someday when I love someone I’ll take the strength it takes to protect them And make it my own

But at any given moment, any given moment I wanna hold feelings in my arms That allow me to say that I like what I like So I can keep being myself Because at any given moment, any given moment I know that all these days I’ve spent lost and searching Will be my answer
