Meaningless

Oil tankers in the National Guard
I came to meet you
My car died in your yard
Why turn the key?
There's so much here to see
These are my memories

Of precious places, precious things
That were meaningless
Before we'd seen them together

Old hinges squeaking in the rain
That hotel by the highway
Where we stayed
There's something every hour
Who needs the Eiffel Tower
When we've got memories?

Of precious places, precious things
That were meaningless
Before we'd seen them together

The pen, the car, the paint, the pier
The moon and star, the message clear
Liberty raised her hand to us
As if to say, "It's okay, live today, live today!'

I said, ''Don't leave me, don't break the tie''
Then I left you and the time went rolling by
And here's what I can't stand

I know that every landmark triggers memories
Of stupid places and silly things
That were meaningless
Before we'd seen them together

We'd seen them together
We'd seen them together
We'd seen them together

Sin Sentido

Tanques de petroleo en la guardia nacional
Vine a conocerte
Mi carro murió en tu patio
Porque girar la llave?
Hay mucho que ver aquí
Estos son mis recuerdos

De lugares preciosos, cosas preciosas
De que eramos sin sentido
Antes de que los viéramos juntos

Bisagra vieja chillando en la lluvia
Ese hotel por la carretera
Donde nos quedamos
Hay algo en cada hora
Quien necesita la torre Eiffel
Cuando tenemos recuerdos?

De lugares preciosos, cosas preciosas
Que no tenien sentido
Antes de que las viéramos juntas

La pluma, el carro, la pintura, el embarcadero
La luna y la estrella, el mensaje claro
La libertad la crio a nosotros
Como si decir, esta bien vivir hoy vive hoy

Dije, no me dejes, no rompas el lazo
Luego te deje y el tiempo paso rápido
Y esto es lo que no soporto

Se que cada tierra me trae recuerdos
De lugares estúpidos y cosas tontas
Que no tenían significado
Antes de que las viéramos juntos

Que las vieramos juntos
Que las vieramos juntos
Que las viéramos juntos
