Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
The mirror′s image, it tells me it's home time
The mirror′s image, it tells me it's home time
But I′m not finished, 'cause you're not by my side
But I′m not finished, 'cause you're not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leavin′, carryin′ your shoes
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leavin′, carryin′ your shoes
Decided that once again I was just dreamin' of bumpin′ into you
Decided that once again I was just dreamin' of bumpin′ into you
Now it's three in the mornin′ and I'm tryin′ to change your mind
Now it's three in the mornin′ and I'm tryin′ to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls and to my message, you reply
Te dejé múltiples llamadas perdidas y a mis mensajes, respondiste:
"Why'd you only call me when you're high?"
"¿Por qué solo me llamas cuando estas drogado?"
"Hi, why′d you only call me when you′re high?"
"Hi, why′d you only call me when you′re high?"
Somewhere darker, talkin' the same shite
En algún lugar más oscuro, hablando la misma porquería.
I need a partner, well, are you out tonight?
Necesito un compañero, bueno, ¿Estas afuera esta noche?
It′s harder and harder to get you to listen
It′s harder and harder to get you to listen
More I get through the gears
Cada vez que aumento las dosis
Incapable of makin' alright decisions, and havin′ bad ideas
Incapable of makin' alright decisions, and havin′ bad ideas
Now it's three in the mornin′ and I'm tryin' to change your mind
Now it's three in the mornin′ and I'm tryin' to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls and to my message you reply
Te dejé múltiples llamadas perdidas y a mis mensajes, respondiste:
"Why′d you only call me when you′re high?"
"Why′d you only call me when you′re high?"
"Hi, why'd you only call me when you′re high?"
"Hi, why'd you only call me when you′re high?"
And I can't see you here, wonderin′ where I might
And I can't see you here, wonderin′ where I might
It sort of feels like I'm runnin′ out of time
It sort of feels like I'm runnin′ out of time
I haven't found all I was hopin' to find
No he encontrado todo lo que esperaba encontrar
You said you gotta be up in the mornin′
You said you gotta be up in the mornin′
Gonna have an early night
Así que acuestate pronto"
And you′re startin' to bore me, baby
And you′re startin' to bore me, baby
Why′d you only call me when you're high?
Why′d you only call me when you're high?
"Why′d you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why′d you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why′d you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why′d you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why'd you only ever phone me when you′re high?"
"Why'd you only ever phone me when you′re high?"
"Why′d you only ever phone me when you're high?"
"Why′d you only ever phone me when you're high?"
