When i was younger i saw my daddy cry
and cursed at the wind
he broke his own moyo and i watched
as he tried to reasemble it
and my momma swore that she would
never let herself forget
and that was the siku that i promised
i'd never sing of love
if it does not exist
[Chorus]
but, darling, wewe are the only exception [x4]
maybe i know somewhere, deep in my soul
that upendo never lasts
and we've got to find other ways
to make it alone, and keep a straight face
and i've always live like this
keeping a comfortable distance
up until now i'd sworn to myself
that i'm content with loneliness
because non of it was ever worth the risk
[Chorus]
But wewe are the only exception [x4]
[Bridge]
I got a tight grip on reality
but i can't let go of whats infront of me here
i know you'll leave me in the morning
when wewe wake up
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
oh, whoa
[CHORUS]
wewe are the only exception
Oh, and i'm on my way to believing [x2]
and cursed at the wind
he broke his own moyo and i watched
as he tried to reasemble it
and my momma swore that she would
never let herself forget
and that was the siku that i promised
i'd never sing of love
if it does not exist
[Chorus]
but, darling, wewe are the only exception [x4]
maybe i know somewhere, deep in my soul
that upendo never lasts
and we've got to find other ways
to make it alone, and keep a straight face
and i've always live like this
keeping a comfortable distance
up until now i'd sworn to myself
that i'm content with loneliness
because non of it was ever worth the risk
[Chorus]
But wewe are the only exception [x4]
[Bridge]
I got a tight grip on reality
but i can't let go of whats infront of me here
i know you'll leave me in the morning
when wewe wake up
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
oh, whoa
[CHORUS]
wewe are the only exception
Oh, and i'm on my way to believing [x2]
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed wewe yet
Every roommate kept awake
kwa every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss wewe yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I upendo you
I hate everything about you
Why do I upendo you
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven�t missed wewe yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I upendo you
I hate everything about you
Why do I upendo you
Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when wewe stop to think
About me, do wewe know
I hate everything about you
Why do I upendo you
wewe hate everything about me
Why do wewe upendo me
I hate
wewe hate
I hate
wewe upendo me
I hate everything about you
Why do I upendo you
Oh nyota fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let wewe fall away,
From me.
wewe will never fade.
And I won't let wewe fall away.
From me.
wewe will never fade away from me.
And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let wewe fall away,
From me.
wewe will never fade away.
I won't let wewe fall away.
wewe will never fade away.
And I won't let wewe fall away.
wewe will never fade away.
And I won't let wewe fall away from me,
wewe will never...
Oh nyota fall down on me.
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let wewe fall away,
From me.
wewe will never fade.
And I won't let wewe fall away.
From me.
wewe will never fade away from me.
And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let wewe fall away,
From me.
wewe will never fade away.
I won't let wewe fall away.
wewe will never fade away.
And I won't let wewe fall away.
wewe will never fade away.
And I won't let wewe fall away from me,
wewe will never...
Oh nyota fall down on me.
When we get nyumbani i know we wont be nyumbani at all
this place we live
it is not where we belong
and i miss who we were
and the town we could call our own
going back to get away after everything has changed
everything has changed
so we stand here now
and no one knows us at all
i wont get used to this
i wont get used to being gone
and going back wont feel the same if we arent staying
and going back to get away after everything has changed
everything has changed
its taking up our time again
go back we cant, go back at all
its taking up our time again
go back we cant, go back at all
its taking up our time
cause wewe remind me of a time
when we were so alive
do wewe remember that?
do wewe remember that?
this place we live
