Mason Jennings - East of Eden [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm just a student of this life, just like my father
And I am a stranger to this heart, just like my mother

Oh, and brother you should know
That this heart's still filled with sadness and regret
But I'm learning as I go
To forgive the things that I just can't forget

Sometimes this heart is made of glass
And I often find myself
Living only in the past
Thinking mostly of myself
But I'll believe you when you say
That these are things that time can heal
And this beating in my heart
Says this love we have is real

And all of these wishes, I once lost, are now returning
And all of the demons, I have fought, are slowly turning

Oh, and brother you should know
That there is no one in this world who feels no pain
But I'm learning as I go
To accept the things that I've no power to change

All of these streets are heading out
And this old song's no longer blue
And although nothing's figured out
It looks like we've both made it through
If there were one thing I could ask
I would ask you where you've been
Cause I still wonder where you were
When this whole big ship sank in
