The Other Me

Joe Jackson

Transposer:

[INTRO]    2 x        I guess we can still be friends I guess we can talk at least But if we were seventeen Imagine the things we’d do        I know that those days are over I’m glad that those games are won     And the winners ride off into the sunset          But it’s not the same for you       And I don’t want to play Those nasty games that adults play   But I can’t let you go And I can’t see another way And I know that she’s the only one for me But you know that if I could split in two              The other me - would stay all night The other me - would hold you tight The other me - would be the only one for you                               When I see you there alone   It almost breaks my heart But it doesn’t break enough For me to break my whole life apart             I guess we could still be friends And we can talk all night But I have to bite my tongue And sometimes words don’t come out right               We’re old enough to know What we can think or say out loud To know that hearts are not just Cards to play when two’s a crowd And I know that she’s the only one for me     But you know that if I could split in two              The other me - would stay all night The other me - would hold you tight The other me - would be the only one for you                                                The other me . . Would take you so far away from here                                    And he’d be . .               A man with a mission . . The other me . . Might even be better than this one                    And I know that she’s the only one for me     But you know that if I could split in two              The other me - would stay all night The other me - would hold you tight The other me - would be the only one for you

La chanson aborde le dilemme du cœur et des sentiments partagés dans un contexte de relations compliquées. Elle évoque le souhait de rester proche d'une personne, tout en étant conscient que la situation n'est pas idéale. L'artiste exprime une nostalgie pour une époque plus simple, remplie de rêves, mais admet que la réalité adulte rend les choses plus difficiles. Il souhaite qu'il y ait une version de lui qui puisse rester avec l'autre, qui pourrait pleinement s'investir dans une relation. Cependant, il est tiraillé entre ses engagements actuels et cette envie de vivre une autre réalité, plus épanouissante. Les nuances de l'amour, de l'amitié et des contraintes de la vie adulte créent une tension palpable tout au long des paroles.
