Но это так [No eto tak] [English translation]

What early Fall we are having these days,

How odd a date we have gone out on together.

It’s all like the trailer clipped out of a rom com

I’ve seen so many times but could not understand it.

There were withered leaves the wind hurled in the windows,

We saw the kids daub ‘I love you’ on buildings.

Leaves about us whispering of that, impatient,

There's an 'I love you' daubed onto new build.

That that’s the way it is cannot be different.

Nothing unusual can be there. It’ll

Still be kept under wraps. Let us be considerate

Of whate'er it's whittled down to little by little.

On that date of ours we'd a house left abandoned

With hundreds of stairs and with scores of windows.

No handrails to hold on to or window panes on.

You had been speaking up under your breath.

You had been speaking to me sub rosa.

You had been telling the most true story

Of how—no more—would you be all night crying.

I said I'd turn a blind eye to the clock for you.

But that’s the way it is, that can't be different.

Nothing unusual can be there. It’ll

Still be kept under wraps. Let us be considerate

Of whate'er it's whittled down to little by little.

It's been good that no one overheard us

Other than those walls but they’d keep it secret

That we'd both broken what we were promising, so

I’m a real clock watcher, you’re an all-night crier.

But that’s the way it is, that can't be different.

Nothing unusual can be there. It’ll

Still be kept under wraps. Let us be considerate

Of whate'er it's whittled down to little by little.
