I tried working out the lyrics, since it hasn't been done online. See the stuff in bold if you want to help out! That last verse is just a hot mess, I can barely understand a thing.
Update: I changed the lyrics still missing to xxx because sometimes it's easier when you don't first read someone else's preconceived and oh so wrong ideas.
RED = CORRECTIONS Thank-you Barb and my brother! Anyone else? Help!!
Update 2: As per my brother's brilliant solution, I wrote to the band on their facebook page and just remembered to check for a response. All lyrics now correct and accounted for!
You told me you were broken from the start
You used your hand to put mine to your heart
You said: I can't feel this
I'm not sure I exist
Spoke of all the trouble in your town
Too prevalent for you to step around
Forcing you to bury
A burden too heavy
You warned me of the potential cost
Of losing myself to those who are lost
I said it's much better
To be lost together
And devote ourselves to a dream
And never fall into routine
To keep our lines open
And live with what's broken
I know you're in pieces
I know I'm at sea
But something about you keeps calling to me
I know all your secrets
You know all of mine
The past is the past and it's better left behind
Your crooked paws
Your factory, factory flaws
Your highs your low
I love it all more than you know
Your whirl your woe
Your factory, factory clothes
Your crooked glow
I love it all more than you know
OK, I am terrible at lyrics, but I'll tell you what I heard--
ReplyDeleteI know you're in pieces
I know I'm the seam (???)
And then the third line of the last bit I think is "Your high, your low" (or maybe you're high, you're low -- ha!)
After listening three times, I still have no idea what "coo" is paused or blowing/glowing. It's possible that the fifth line is "your whirl, your world" but I wouldn't swear to it.
Fun song, I'd never heard it before, thanks for sharing.
You're right, there's an S sound. But I still hear a T as well. Steam! ok maybe not
ReplyDeletehigh and low = yes, brilliant
The second time she sings it, the coo-pause line sounds something like "broken heart" but it doesn't sound that way the first time. And doesn't rhyme with flaws.
I agree with whirl/world. Was my first thought too.
Thanks!
