lyrics

I could be one of a million of loves
Taken aback, not more than a second in time
And these streets they'll know my name
The ones to come, the ones that came

And there she sits out in a nearby cafe
Though she seems miles and miles away
Listen close and you'll hear
The sound of breaking hearts, my dear

Please believe me
When I tell you you're something
Hold me love, yes
Clutch me to your breast
As the sound of breaking hearts pulls back

Now we move silent like one silhouette
But oh the words love that she tries to forget
How the sounds they ring so clear
And how these nights bring on her fears

Please believe me
When I tell you you're something
Hold me love, yes
Clutch me to your breast
As the sound of breaking hearts pulls back

So slow we slip away
Like shadows to the shade
This candle burns itself out at both ends
Like it always was, but has never been

Français

Femme:
Qui est cette fille qu'il voit en moi?
Il m'aime, je l'aime je pense
Je l'aime, je l'aime je crois

Hommes:
Et nous sommes à la fin
Ça toujours été
Je l'ai aimé, je pense
Je l'ai aimé, je crois

English

Female:
Who is this girl that he sees in me?
He loves me, I love him I think
I love him, I love him I believe

Male:
And we are at the end
It has always been
I loved her I think
I loved her I believe

Dear Wormwood

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
