Birdy(음반)

Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present, they don't matter
Now the future's sorted out
Watch her moving in elliptical patterns
Think it's not what you say
What you say is way too complicated
For a minute, though, I couldn't tell how to fall out

It's twenty seconds till the last call
Calling hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Lie down, you know it's easy
Like we did it all summer long

And I'll be anything you ask, and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Girlfriend, oh, your girlfriend is drifting away
Past and present eighteen-fifty five nineteen oh one

Watch them build up a material tower
Think it's not gonna stay
Anyway, I think it's overrated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out

It's twenty seconds till the last call
Calling hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Lie down, you know it's easy
Like we did it all summer long

And I'll be anything you ask, and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Come on skinny love, just last the year
이리 와 메마른 사랑, 올해만 넘겨봐
Pour a little salt we were never here
약간의 소금을 뿌려, 우린 이곳에 없었어
My my my – my my my – my my my – my my
이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
피로 얼룩지고 부서진 합판을 바라보고 있어

I tell my love to wreck it all
나는 내 사랑에게 다 망가뜨려 버리라고 말해
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
밧줄들을 다 잘라내고 날 떨어지게 내버려두라고
My my my – my my my – my my my – my my
이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런
Right in the moment this order's tall[1]
지금 이 순간 이건 너무 어려운 일이야

And I told you to be patient
그리고 난 네게 참을성을 가지라고 했어
And I told you to be fine
그리고 난 네게 훌륭해지라고 했어
And I told you to be balanced
그리고 난 네게 균형있게 행동하라고 했어
And I told you to be kind
그리고 난 네게 친절해지라고 했어
And in the morning I'll be with you
그리고 아침엔 내가 너와 함께 있을 거야
But it will be a different kind
하지만 전과는 다른 느낌일 거야
And I'll be holding all the tickets
그리고 나는 모든 티켓들을 들고 있겠지
And you'll be owning all the fines
그리고 너는 물어낼 모든 벌금들을 들고 있겠지

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
이리 와 메마른 사랑, 여기 무슨 일이 있었지?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
작은 가슴속의 희망에 기대어
My my my – my my my – my my my – my my
이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
시무룩함의 짐은 무거워, 이별은 참 느려

And I told you to be patient
그리고 난 네게 참을성을 가지라고 했어
And I told you to be fine
그리고 난 네게 훌륭해지라고 했어
And I told you to be balanced
그리고 난 네게 균형있게 행동하라고 했어
And I told you to be kind
그리고 난 네게 친절해지라고 했어
Now all your love is wasted
이제 네 모든 사랑은 낭비됐어
Then who the hell was I?
그럼 대체 나는 누구였더라?
Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
왜냐면 이제 난 바지 끝자락이 끊어지고 있어
And at the end of all your lines
너의 모든 밧줄들 끝에

Who will love you?
누가 널 사랑할 거지?
Who will fight?
누가 싸울 거지?
Who will fall far behind?
누가 멀리 뒤처질 거지?

Come on skinny love
이리 와 메마른 사랑
My my my – my my my – my my my – my my
이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런
My my my – my my my – my my my – my my
이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런 이런, 이런 이런

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
A Fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, oh save me

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

I was following the
I was following the
I was following the
I was following the

I was following the pack,
all swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads from falling in the snow,
and I turned 'round and there you go
And Michael, you would fall
and turn the white snow
red as strawberries in the summertime

I was following the pack,
all swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads from falling in the snow,
and I turned 'round and there you go
And Michael, you would fall
and turn the white snow
red as strawberries in the summertime

I was following the pack,
all swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads from falling in the snow,
and I turned 'round and there you go
And Michael, you would fall
and turn the white snow
red as strawberries in summertime

Smeared black ink
your face is ashen
And I'm barely listening to last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
Where I am
Where I am

I'll wear my badge
a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends I am a visitor here
I am not permanent
And the only thing keeping me dry is

Where I am
(You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex)
Where I am
(A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting)
Where I am
(And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving)
(Why I was the one worth leaving)

D.C. sleeps alone tonight
D.C. sleeps alone tonight

Where I am
(You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex)
Where I am
(A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting)
Where I am
(And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving)
(Why I was the one worth leaving)

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

Eighty-Six Charlie came over
He asked me for a favor
Asked me a question
Asked me to make an exception

Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back
Said he'd been thinking it over
Said he's had a change of heart
He thinks he's made a grave mistake

But I, I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
You make things so easy
I'll never forget you

Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back, he came back
Sat down at the table, and for the last time
Said he's finally made up his mind
He wonders if it's not too late
It's not too late because

I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
You made me so angry
I'll never forget you

We're only young and naive still
We require certain skills
The mood it changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate

We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
Can you whisper
Can you whisper

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll send images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Just yesterday morning,
they let me know that you were gone
Suzanne, the plans
they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning
and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days
that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times
when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days
that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times
when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time
my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines
in pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days
that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times
when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
I always thought that I'd see you again

Hey you can tell the world
That you're leaving
And you can pack your bags
And spread your wings
And you can tell them all
That it's over
But while you wave goodbye
I'll be getting closer

Stand there and look into my eyes
And tell me that all we had were lies
Show me that to you it don't count
And I'll stand here if you prefer
Yes I'll leave you without a word
Without a word

And you can tell the world
That you're tired
But your excuses, they won't work
'Cause I'll know that you're lying
Every time that I see your face
I notice all the suffering
Just turn to my embrace
I won't let you come to nothing

Stand there and look into my eyes
And tell me that all we had were lies
Show me that to you it don't count
And I'll stand here if you prefer
Yes I'll leave you without a word
Without a word
Without a word
Without a word

It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's quiet company
It's quiet company

It's a terrible love
And I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's a terrible love
And I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's quiet company
It's quiet company
It's quiet company

And I can't fall asleep
Without a little help
It takes awhile
To settle down
My ship of hopes
Wait til the past leaks out

It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
Company
It's quite a company
It's quiet company

But I won't follow you
Into the rabbit hole
I said I would
But then I saw
Your ship of woes
They didn't want me to

It's a terrible love
And I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking here
It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking here

It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
