Hebe 4 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 In You & I she says ''six whole years'', so it must mean ''7 years of bad luck dating'' that she wrote it afterwards in either 2011 or 2012 after she broke up with Luc ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
420 1,042 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The pronunciation would be SO off tho she's not singing in french, i suppose. it would be even weirder if she sings in french accent when she's talking to an american person. 너와의 어색한 침묵이 차라리 좋아 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnocent 0 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I always thought it was you You always thought it was me We always thought we were it Seemed like a real perfect fit Those Brooklyn nights set us free I always thought even though We were so young we could grow Up in the end it'd be us We'd take the F by the bus Where Brooklyn nights set us free It's not that I don't wanna love you It's not that I'm really over it, you know It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy I miss(ed?) our cheap chandelier 'Member when dad hung it there? And we would watch Rocky IV The one where the Russianss scored? I love Briggite Nielsen's hair I'd call you my champion That we had already won And cracked open the last beer Falling asleep in our tears Those Brooklyn nights set us free I found an old pair of keys in my purse That opened the walk up we shared How did they get there, jerk? I wanna see you there, I wanna make it work I didn't brush my hair and my lashes are falling off Of seven years of our bad luck dating I want our last night there, a Brooklyn night affair It's not that I don't wanna love you 'cause I really tried hard Just when I hang with the old you for just one Brooklyn night, (I do?) How 'bout drink with you for myself, we won't both act like someone else Maybe then we first tell the truth, for just one Brooklyn night, (I do?) Please suggest corrections and discuss the lyrical content itself I decided to not choose "adieu" because I expect her to understand French pronunciation and that just does not sound like it at all.

Eurquin 41 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Just one Brooklyn Night('ll do)/(will do) One of those I think Edit: On second thought, it definitely sounds like adieu, it does fit. JRF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughdancy 282 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Pretty sure "walkup" is "lock up" :P they're containers where you can store things. You rent/buy them. Also, It's not that I don't wanna love you 'cause I really tried hard Just wanna hang with the old you for just one Brooklyn night, (I do?)Have a drink with you for myself, we both won't act like someone else Maybe then we'd both tell the truth, for just one Brooklyn night, (I do?) :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler 109 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I think the keys in her purse are from the LOCK-UP they shared, not walk-up. A lock-up is a storage unit and couples often use them when they move in together, so they have somewhere to put their junk that doesn't fit in the new flat/house.
