Lyrics

English

I am the one who waited by the shore
The girl who left, the boy who wanted more
This is the house that we once called home
The place where I was never quite alone

(The one, the one...)
The words that stayed, the songs that we knew
The dreams which faded, the skies that were blue

I am the one who waited
The one who never left
The heart that stayed unbroken
In the story that we kept
I am the one who waited

You are the friend whose name I still recall
The stranger who saw me, who saw through it all
This is the road that led me back to you
The town where everything I lost came true

The star that guided, the map that I drew
The door which opened to a world so new
The song that we sang, the light that we made
I am the one who stayed, who was not afraid

Who. Which. That. And where.
The one who waited, I was there.

I am the one who waited by the shore.

Türkçe

Kıyıda bekleyen kişi benim
Giden kız, daha fazlasını isteyen oğlan
Bir zamanlar evimiz dediğimiz o ev bu
Hiç yalnız olmadığım o yer

(O kişi, o kişi...)
Kalan sözler, bildiğimiz şarkılar
Solup giden hayaller, mavi olan gökyüzleri

Bekleyen kişi benim
Hiç gitmeyen kişi
Kırılmadan kalan yürek
Sakladığımız o hikâyede
Bekleyen kişi benim

Adını hâlâ hatırladığım arkadaş sensin
Beni gören, her şeyi görüp anlayan yabancı
Beni sana geri götüren yol bu
Kaybettiğim her şeyin gerçek olduğu kasaba

Yol gösteren yıldız, çizdiğim harita
Yepyeni bir dünyaya açılan kapı
Söylediğimiz şarkı, yarattığımız ışık
Kalan kişi benim, korkmayan kişi

Who. Which. That. And where.
Bekleyen kişi, oradaydım.

Kıyıda bekleyen kişi benim.
