Letras de Steve I Always Knew - Mark Eitzel

Steve I Always Knew (original)

You can boil the night down into a thin white line
Ringing doorbells and waiting next to a payphone
Which I means, I guess, that we’re gonna sleep together
And like the morning we disappear
The sunrise is a rainbow made out of grey blood veins
You said in my life I was too lucky
So, tell me, am I supposed to feel guilty or something
When you’re just another glow in the dark skeleton talking
Steve, I always knew you wanted me
But you know I had too much to lose
You said the only way through fear is to give in
And you were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
Fear ain’t much more than nothing
You put all your cash up the noses of the boys at the Leland Hotel
You said if you don’t live now there’s no chance for later
I guess in bed I was kind of a sweet nothing
For your money you could have done much better
Steve, I always knew you wanted me
But you know I had too much to lose
You said the only way through fear is to give in
And you were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
Fear ain’t much more than nothing
You were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing
You moved to New York to clean up and came back married to a cop
When I saw you on the street I could tell you didn’t want to stop
You said those who haven’t seen the death of love don’t know what to believe in
And far too early you saw life had no meaning
You were far too young to think that was the truth
You were far too young to live with the truth
Steve, I always knew you wanted me
Oh, but you know I had too much to lose
You said the only way through fear is to give in
You were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
Fear ain’t much more than nothing
You were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing
You were nothing, you were nothing, you were nothing

(traducción)

Puedes hervir la noche en una delgada línea blanca
Tocando timbres y esperando junto a un teléfono público
Lo que significa, supongo, que vamos a dormir juntos
Y como la mañana desaparecemos
El amanecer es un arcoíris hecho de venas de sangre gris.
Dijiste que en mi vida tuve mucha suerte
Entonces, dime, ¿se supone que debo sentirme culpable o algo así?
Cuando eres solo otro esqueleto que brilla en la oscuridad hablando
Steve, siempre supe que me querías
Pero sabes que tenía mucho que perder
Dijiste que la única forma de atravesar el miedo es ceder
Y tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
El miedo no es mucho más que nada
Pusiste todo tu dinero en las narices de los chicos en el Hotel Leland
Dijiste que si no vives ahora no hay oportunidad para más tarde
Supongo que en la cama era una especie de dulce nada
Por tu dinero podrías haberlo hecho mucho mejor.
Steve, siempre supe que me querías
Pero sabes que tenía mucho que perder
Dijiste que la única forma de atravesar el miedo es ceder
Y tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
El miedo no es mucho más que nada
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
Pero luego vi tus ojos y sabes que no eras nada
Te mudaste a Nueva York para limpiar y volviste casado con un policía
Cuando te vi en la calle me di cuenta de que no querías parar
Dijiste que aquellos que no han visto la muerte del amor no saben en qué creer
Y demasiado pronto viste que la vida no tenía sentido
Eras demasiado joven para pensar que esa era la verdad.
Eras demasiado joven para vivir con la verdad
Steve, siempre supe que me querías
Oh, pero sabes que tenía mucho que perder
Dijiste que la única forma de atravesar el miedo es ceder
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
El miedo no es mucho más que nada
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
Tenías razón, tenías razón, tenías razón
Pero luego vi tus ojos y sabes que no eras nada
No eras nada, no eras nada, no eras nada
