52 Songs #38: Practical
Why are we attracted to people and passions that are ultimately bad for us?
A playful lie planted seeds in me
A watchful eye took my room to breath
I let the passion shape my mind
And felt a chill when your flirting turned unkind
Loving you, it wasn’t practical
Never felt the way that it should
Loving you, it wasn’t practical
When all I want isn’t good for me.
I served myself till the well was dry
But every taste left me more denied
Intoxicating sentences
Would numb my sense and fill my hungry senses
Loving you, it wasn’t practical
Never felt the way that it should
Loving you, it wasn’t practical
When all I want isn’t good
Isn’t good, isn’t good
Leave me alone but don’t leave me lonely
If I had known that you’d see me only
As a map back to your soul
Maybe I would have tried a little self-control.
A lógica era circular
Me convenci de estar buscando
Um raro desejo a me carregar.
Um fogo ardente já se apagando.
Não era prático amar você
Nunca achei que era bom assim
Não era prático amar você
Nada que quero é bom pra mim.
Loving you, it wasn’t practical
Never felt the way that it should
Loving you, it wasn’t practical
When all I want isn’t good
Isn’t good, isn’t good
For me.
