He said, "practice Electra
Dia bilang, "latihan Electra
You might need me someday
Kau mungkin butuh aku suatu hari nanti
Though the wind blows your hair, tugs you around
Meski angin mengacak rambutmu, menarikmu ke sana-sini
I know you won't blow away"
Aku tahu kau takkan terbang pergi"

Yes, my name is Electra
Ya, namaku Electra
And I'm a talk-aholic
Dan aku ini suka ngomong
But I get kinda quiet on days when I'm feeling
Tapi aku jadi agak pendiam di hari-hari saat aku merasa
Especially sad or melancholic
Terutama sedih atau melankolis

He said, "practice laughing at my jokes
Dia bilang, "latihan tertawa pada leluconku
They don't all make you cringe
Nggak semuanya bikin kamu meringis
Practice crying when I leave you
Latihan menangis saat aku pergi darimu
It'll give me something to drown in"
Itu akan memberiku sesuatu untuk tenggelam dalamnya"

He said, "c'mon an' smile at me
Dia bilang, "ayo senyum padaku
Don't treat me like an invader
Jangan perlakukan aku seperti penyusup
Practice, Electra
Latihan, Electra
You might need me later
Kau mungkin butuh aku nanti

Yes, my name is Electra
Ya, namaku Electra
And I check my e-mail every fifteen minutes
Dan aku cek email setiap lima belas menit
But I never go to rambunctious parties
Tapi aku nggak pernah pergi ke pesta yang ramai
'Cause I have my limits
Karena aku punya batasan

He said, "practice, Electra
Dia bilang, "latihan, Electra
You might need me later
Kau mungkin butuh aku nanti
You've tried to say goodbye, goodbye
Kau sudah mencoba untuk mengucapkan selamat tinggal, selamat tinggal
But you just say see ya later alligator"
Tapi kau cuma bilang sampai jumpa lagi, buaya"

He said, "practice smiling when I love you
Dia bilang, "latihan senyum saat aku mencintaimu
It doesn't seem right when you're smirking
Nggak terasa tepat saat kau menyeringai
Practice asking for reasons
Latihan bertanya alasan
When you feel this ain't working
Saat kau merasa ini nggak berjalan

Oh c'mon Electra, don't treat me like an invader
Oh ayo Electra, jangan perlakukan aku seperti penyusup
C'mon and smile at me, don't treat me like that invader
Ayo senyum padaku, jangan perlakukan aku seperti penyusup itu
Yes, my name is Electra, and who knows, I might need you later
Ya, namaku Electra, dan siapa tahu, aku mungkin butuh kamu nanti
