[Verse]
This song sounds dramatic
But I'm bad at writing words
If you don't speak English, this probably sounds pretty good
You'd probably think I'm singing 'bout some pretty serious stuff
But in reality, I'm singin' 'bout the lack of stuff I'm singing 'bout
This part's intense
And emotional
As long as you don't understand it
Your foreign grandma
Would love this song
Please send it to her
And she'll probably tell her foreign friends about the song her grandson or daughter sent her today
This song might hit the charts in her country
If parts sounded like Coldplay
If the chorus sounds like Coldplay
Then I put some la-la-la's in there
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Coldplay)
Hopefully your foreign grandma listens to this song everyday
And if she asks you to translate the lyrics, here's what you say:
"A perfect translation does not exist
Well, at least, not in your language
But if you must know, well, picture this:
Fifty billion rainbows and the sun is setting and the moon is setting also and you're there in a gazebo
And then God descends from heaven
And He gives you a million dollars
Take that feeling and put it into a song
I could translate word by word but that'd take too long
And I've got stuff to do, Grandma
I don't have time for this
You've gotta trust me grandma
This freakin' song is brilliant."
