[Verse 1: Jesse Clegg]

I can be patient

I can be true

I can be lonely

I can be everything

I can be nothing to you

I can be foolish

But you know the truth

I can be hopeless

I can be crazy

Hope you enjoying the view


[Verse 2: Msaki]

I'm tapping out, be out your way

(Love me that much)

(Love me, love me that much)

We fall, we break the light of day

(Love me that much)

(If you love me that much)

I’m not in a place, where I can see the truth

I'm not in a space where I can even move an inch for you

We fall, we break into the haze


[Chorus: Jesse Clegg & Msaki]

I'm falling by the wayside, lover

I wish you well

I’m waiting for the daylight, lover

'Til I can tell

I'm falling by the wayside, lover (Ooh)

I wish you well (Ooh)

I'm waiting for the daylight, lover (Ooh)

'Til I can tell


[Verse 3: Jesse Clegg]

And I can be jaded

I can be cruel

I can be present, I can be distant

Is it inevitable?

I can be selfish

And you know it's true

I can be millions of miles away

And still devoted to you


[Verse 4: Msaki]

Are we trapped inside of Plato's cave?

(Fooling ourselves)

(Are we fooling ourselves?)

Just dancing shadows to be named

(Are we fooling ourselves?)

(Are we fooling ourselves?)


[Chorus: Jesse Clegg & Msaki]

I'm falling by the wayside, lover

I wish you well

I’m waiting for the daylight, lover

’Til I can tell

I'm falling by the wayside, lover (Ooh)

I wish you well (Ooh)

I’m waiting for the daylight, lover (Ooh)

'Til I can tell

[Bridge: Jesse Clegg & Msaki, Jesse Clegg]

We break and we fall and we mend and recall

We know that we're formless inside of the storm

Are we hurting each other?

Are we hurting each other now?


[Verse 5: Sjava]

(Mangibuka lana)

Lendaba yenu ayidingi amathambo

Ayidingi umhlahlo

Ithi lana mangiyibuka, "Ingibonisa uthando olumile"

Olidinga ababili bayazi bayalidinga kodwa balibalekela

Nobabili niyasaba kodwa phakathi kwenu kukhona oyedwa odinga ukuphelezelwa

Kodwa indlela ziyakhanya

Kuphephile ningabaleka

Nobanjwa unembeza

Ngisho amaphoyisa ngeke anenze lutho

Noboshwa unembeza, ngiyanitshela

[Chorus: Jesse Clegg & Msaki, Sjava]

I'm falling by the wayside, lover (Khumbula, khumbula, khumbula)

I wish you well (Wish you well)

I’m waiting for the daylight, lover (Vele vele noboshwa unembeza, nembeza)

'Til I can tell
