She gets in from work, takes off her coat
Dia pulang dari kerja, melepas jasnya
sits down hard and lights a smoke,
duduk dengan keras dan menyalakan rokok,
slips off her shoes
melepas sepatunya
She's thinking just how'd nice it be
Dia berpikir betapa enaknya
to have someone to rub her feet,
memiliki seseorang yang bisa memijat kakinya,
and just to talk to
dan sekadar berbincang
And mama, she don't understand,
Dan mama, dia tidak mengerti,
why she can't seem to find a man
kenapa dia tidak bisa menemukan pria
She says, "Are you even tryin'?"
Dia bilang, "Apa kamu bahkan berusaha?"
Oh but it's true what they say about good men,
Oh tapi memang benar apa yang mereka katakan tentang pria baik,
they're either gay, married or just wanna be friends
mereka entah gay, menikah, atau cuma mau berteman
Makes a girl feel like cryin'
Bikin cewek pengen nangis

Jaded, tried and sick of the whole damn thing
Patah semangat, capek, dan muak dengan semua ini
It just seems cruel to think that she might be
Rasanya kejam berpikir bahwa dia mungkin
So close
Begitu dekat

Just three doors down and one floor up,
Hanya tiga pintu di bawah dan satu lantai di atas,
he pours some wine in a coffee cup, turns the TV on
dia menuangkan anggur ke dalam cangkir kopi, menyalakan TV
He tells himself it could be worse,
Dia meyakinkan dirinya bisa lebih buruk,
he's got his friends and he's got his work,
dia punya teman dan pekerjaannya,
it ain't so bad alone.
tidak begitu buruk sendirian.
When his younger brother's done got kids, a dog, a cat and a privacy fence,
Ketika adik laki-lakinya sudah punya anak, anjing, kucing, dan pagar privasi,
and a pretty wife, a bed to match his sheets
serta istri cantik, tempat tidur yang cocok dengan sprei-nya
And the kids call him uncle and he's glad they do,
Dan anak-anak memanggilnya paman dan dia senang mereka melakukannya,
but he always hurts a little bit too,
tapi dia juga selalu merasa sedikit sakit,
'cuz lately, he's afraid that's all he's ever gonna be
karena belakangan ini, dia takut itu saja yang akan dia jadi

Jaded, tried and sick of the whole damn thing
Patah semangat, capek, dan muak dengan semua ini
It just seems cruel to think that he might be
Rasanya kejam berpikir bahwa dia mungkin
So close
Begitu dekat

The elevator stops, they both get on,
Lift berhenti, mereka berdua masuk,
she fumbles in her purse, he's on the phone,
dia mengacak-ngacak tasnya, dia di telepon,
and their eyes never even meet
dan mata mereka bahkan tidak saling bertemu
And it's sad to think they look so hard,
Dan menyedihkan berpikir mereka mencarinya dengan keras,
and it's all right there in that elevator car,
dan semua ada di sana, di dalam lift itu,
hmm, the irony, So Close
hmm, ironi, Begitu Dekat

Yeah, yeah
Ya, ya
So Close
Begitu Dekat
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Ya Ya Ya Ya
So Close
Begitu Dekat
