Someone To Love

In the time of my dying
I was making promises I couldn’t keep
Lying to you, You and me
Held by my addiction
Everything I thought I needed I couldn’t keep
If I was to get myself free

You gotta let somebody into your hurt
You gotta let somebody feelin your hurt
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love

I came to live in your shelter
cause theres never a day when I’m not afraid
Looking for an answer
Mentally I was no more than a slave
Will you help me surrender?
You said that I have to become a dancer
and started shooting at my feet

You gotta let somebody into your hurt
You gotta let somebody feelin your hurt
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love

I did believe in your answer
But you said I’ve still got a long way to go
Cause the day won’t remember
what the year’s dying for you to know
Who you are
Once you find out you’ve probably already gone too far
to ever find your way back home

You gotta let somebody into your hurt
You gotta let somebody feelin your hurt
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love

Dos Gardenias

Dos gardenias para ti
Con ellas quiero decir:
Te quiero, te adoro, mi vida
Ponles toda tu atención
Porque seran tu corazón y el mio

Dos gardenias para ti
Que tendrán todo el calor de un beso
De esos besos que te dí
Y que jamás te encontrarán
En el calor de otro querer

A tu lado vivirán y se hablarán
Como cuando estás conmigo
Y hasta creerán que te diran:
Te quiero.
Pero si un atardecer
Las gardenias de mi amor se mueren
Es porque han adivinado
Que tu amor me ha traicionado
Porque existe otro querer

(Cristina Branco)

Don't Turn The Lights On

There must be another way
When she's gone to a better place
And loneliness will hurt you if you can't get through the night
Then the moment starts to fade
And dawn is just an hour away
I feel she's watching over and it gets me through the night

It makes me wonder what you'd say
It's taking me back to the month of May
When I watched you do it (all night)
I'm thinking back to what we'd shared
In many ways I'm already there
And I watched you do it

Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark

Another walk to take
Another lonesome evening spent without you there
And only those who hurt you
Will say patience is a virtue
And it's been so long
And I can't think about it
No, I can't figure it out
It's just the way you're feeling
Every time that you're appealing
Leaves no room for doubt

It makes me wonder what you'd say
It's taking me back to the month of may
When i watched you do it (all night)
I'm thinking back to what we'd shared
In many ways I'm already there
And I watched you do it

Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark

(Mayer Hawthorne)

Holocene

“Someway, baby, it’s part of me, apart from me.”
you’re laying waste to Halloween
you fucked it friend,
it’s on it’s head,
it struck the street
you’re in Milwaukee,off your feet

…and at once I knew I was not magnificent
strayed above the highway aisle
(jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
was where we learned to celebrate
automatic bought the years you’d talk for me
that night you played me 'Lip Parade'
not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
saying nothing, that’s enough for me

…and at once I knew I was not magnificent
hulled far from the highway aisle
(jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

Christmas night,
it clutched the light,
the hallow bright
above my brother,
I and tangled spines
we smoked the screen to make
it what it was to be
now to know it in my memory:

…and at once I knew I was not magnificent
high above the highway aisle
(jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

(Bon Iver)

Magnet

I'm like a magnet
You're like a piece of wood
Can't get together
Don't make me feel too good

I'm like a convict
You're like the FBI
I ask for breakfast
You bring a piece of pie
I know it's useless to say
How it used to be
Why do you treat me this way
If you could only see

You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will

I'm like a rowboat
You're like the queen mary
I play a tango
You play a symphony
When you have a problem or two
Can't you see I'm trying
When I see you smiling like that
Makes me change my mind

You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will

You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will
