Translating Heartbreak: Tim Armstrong's Raw Reflections on Love and Life
Lyrics
I'm gonna ride, ride
I plan to persist and move forward
Up to the tip top, never stop, always drop
I aim to reach the highest point and continue without interruption
One shot, one stop, play the punk rock
Embracing a rebellious attitude, playing punk rock
And when the cops stop
When confronted by the police
It's a timeless joint set to one drop
The situation remains constant, set to a steady rhythm
And all the girls, you were the one
You were significant among all the girls
We stood above everyone
We were elevated above others
You took it hard girl, you never had fun
You took things seriously and didn't have fun
So drop your bag girl, please don't run
Release your emotional baggage, don't run away
Ride it up, tie it up, drink it on down
Rise up, secure it, enjoy the moment
Tip it up, sit it up kick it uptown
Hold it up, set it up, make it lively in the city
And tell me exactly girl when you come around
Ask me when you come around
Cause I'll wait for you, girl, I won't back down
I'll wait for you, won't give up
Girl I only want what was best for you
I desire only what is best for you
Girl I only want what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
I only sought what was best for you
I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-This girl's a real heart-breaker
This girl is a genuine heartbreaker
Different dialect, needs a translator
She speaks a different language, requiring a translator
I'll make a choice, not wait for later
I'll make a decision without delay
Life goes on, no I don't hate her
Life continues, and I don't hold resentment
Hey I get it, I got it, I'm down
I understand and accept the situation
Roll it, hit it, kick it around
Roll it, smoke it, enjoy it
Ha ha, I kick it around
Playfully engage with it
But my feet remain planted on the fucking ground
Despite indulging, I remain grounded
One time heroin, one time gone
Experiencing heroin once, but not dwelling on it
First time against it, then you sing along
Initially opposing, then joining in
That's what happens when your life goes wrong
The consequence of life going awry
I've got nothing but truth in my song
My song contains nothing but honesty
Girl I only want what was best for you
I desire only what is best for you
Girl I only want what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
I only sought what was best for you
I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-Girl I only want what was best for you
I desire only what is best for you
Girl I only want what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
I only sought what was best for you
I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
-I only wanted what was best for you
