This is quite an honest song for me, and I feel I'm putting a lot of private feelings out there for all to see and judge, so I hope people appreciate that.
It says a lot about me, and a lot about the people that I care about, and of course, about love. Whether these are feelings that everyone has, or are just in my fucked up mind, I have no idea. But I decided to, and felt like, writing a song about those feelings, about those relationships, and in the end, I decided to share that song with you all.
It's been long in the making, had changes left and right, but well, here it is.
The lyrics:
The time, we were together, the time that I want back
The time that went way to fast, and the time, where we got a little off track
You go headstrong, into life, even though you know your chances, are at best alright
But I couldn't help but hope, that maybe this time, everything would change and you'd end up mine
Beautiful girl, come and hold me tonight, whisper in my ear, everything will be alright
Cuz I'm not feeling well, I'm a little messed up, but it's alright,
the good ones are always taken, and that's how it goes
My chances were slim, I knew that going in, already taken, already with him
But I finally found you, had to take the chance, lost out in the end, but at least we got to dance
Beautiful girl, come and sing a song with me, look me in the eyes, and think of all that we could be
But I'm not feeling well, I'm a little messed up, but it's alright,
the good ones are always taken, and that's how it goes
Yeah I'm not feeling well, I know I'm a little messed up, but it's alright,
the good ones are always taken, and that's how it goes
and that's just how it goes
Please beautiful girl, won't you sit a while with me,
forget all the places, that you should be and just be here a while with me.
僕らが一緒だったあの頃に戻りたいよ
時は過ぎ去って、僕たちにはほんの少し距離ができたかな
これが最善なんだと君は望んでいたんでしょ、君は意地っ張りだよね。
でも僕は助けることができなかった、でも願っているよ。きっと次こそは、全てが変わって、君は僕の腕の中にいるんだ
愛おしいお前、こっちにきて僕を抱いて今夜。耳元で囁いてよ。それだけで満ち足りるんだ。
正直いって、今はまだ混乱しているし落ち着かない。でも、大丈夫。
良い出来事はいつもやってくる、物事なんてそんなものさ
僕の望みはかすかだった。分かっていたよ、僕自身の中に手に入れていたのに、逃しちゃったこと。
でも、最後に僕は君を見つけて、僕は望みを持たなきゃいけなかった。結局だめだったけど。少なくとも僕たちはダンスをしたね
愛おしいお前、こっちにきて僕を抱いて今夜。耳元で囁いてよ。それだけで満ち足りるんだ。、こっちにきて、僕と歌をうたってよ。僕を見つめて、僕たちができる事全てを一緒に考えようよ
でも正直いって、今はまだ混乱しているし落ち着かない でも、大丈夫
良い出来事はいつもやってくる、物事なんてそんなものさ
うん、今はまだ混乱しているし落ち着かない。分かっているよ、自分で。うん、大丈夫
良い出来事はいつもやってくる、物事なんてそんなものさ
物事なんてそんなものさ
ねえお願い、かわいい君。もう僕のそばに座る事はないなんて。
全部忘れてもいい、だけど、君は君のままで、僕と一緒にずっとここにいてほしいんだ。
