Lyrics & translation
Verse
I tell the mirror he is waiting outside.
Le digo al espejo que él espera afuera.
A black limousine parked under the light.
Una limusina negra bajo la luz.
I fix my hair for a ghost in the car.
Me arreglo el pelo para un fantasma en el auto.
Pretending I’m going to be a star.
Fingiendo que voy a ser una estrella.
Chorus
Mango lipstick marks this glass.
El labial de mango marca esta copa.
My imaginary date can wait.
Mi cita imaginaria puede esperar.
I take the floor without his name.
Salgo a la pista sin su nombre.
Tonight I celebrate my own escape.
Esta noche celebro mi propia fuga.
Verse
The truth is the seat is empty tonight.
La verdad es que el asiento está vacío esta noche.
I walked through the door into the heat.
Crucé la puerta hacia el calor.
No one bought me this glass of wine.
Nadie me compró esta copa de vino.
But the way that I move is purely mine.
Pero la forma en que me muevo es puramente mía.
Chorus
Mango lipstick marks this glass.
El labial de mango marca esta copa.
My imaginary date can wait.
Mi cita imaginaria puede esperar.
I take the floor without his name.
Salgo a la pista sin su nombre.
Tonight I celebrate my own escape.
Esta noche celebro mi propia fuga.
Bridge
I don’t need a hand to hold.
No necesito una mano que sujetar.
The bass in the floor is turning to gold.
El bajo en el suelo se vuelve oro.
I made up the story to get out the door.
Inventé la historia para salir de casa.
Now I leave my alibi at the door.
Ahora dejo mi coartada en la puerta.
Chorus
Mango lipstick marks this glass.
El labial de mango marca esta copa.
My imaginary date can wait.
Mi cita imaginaria puede esperar.
I take the floor without his name.
Salgo a la pista sin su nombre.
Tonight I celebrate my own escape.
Esta noche celebro mi propia fuga.
