Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
Went from John Hancock, Washington DC, George Washington, all around America
Now look, now look, now look, now look
I fear my dear it’s all too clear (it’s all too clear)
And the paper heart’s been torn
Can’t you stay through the night please (through the night please)
Can’t we pray on our knees
To keep us calm right where we belong
In a fortress of pine trees
The wind sighs button up now
Don’t look behind, keep your vows
Let the moon cry and the bricks to crumble down
[Chorus]
Can’t explain what I’m feeling
But I came this far
To take your hand
Help you understand why I’m always wanting more
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
Oh girl, just look away
Oh girl, just look away
[Verse 2]
I can still recall the night all the time
All the time, all the time
Lightning burned the mansion down all the time, all the time
We all stood in out pajamas on that hallowed southern ground
When the flames had turned to ashes only blackened bricks remained
And sixteen stately Doric columns there beneath a veil of gray
I was taught by elders wiser, love your neighbor, love your God
Never saw a cross on fire never saw an angry mob
I saw sweet magnolia blossoms, I chased lightening bugs at night
[Chorus]
Can’t explain what I’m feeling
But I came this far
To take your hand
Help you understand why I’m always wanting more
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
Oh girl, just look away
Oh girl, just look away
[Verse 3]
Standing looking in the mirror
Wondering who it is I see
The face seems so familiar
But it doesn’t look like me something is changing ,something’s different
A foreign look behind my stare I feel frantic, almost desperate, he acts as if he doesn’t care
A smile cracks his face, a tear comes to my eye, his laughter fills the room
Words echo in my mind, fell the lock of tension closing
As I slowly turn the key I sense joints lock into place
Like cement setting in my veins
[Chorus]
Can’t explain what I’m feeling
But I came this far
To take your hand
Help you understand why I’m always wanting more
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
Oh girl, just look away
Oh girl, just look away
[Hook]
Like an attic stored with memories,the contents are so rarely seen
A complex creature
I labor to see through the haze, yeah
Yay!
Oh
Sryan Bruen, I strive to know myself
Come on
[Chorus]
Can’t explain what I’m feeling
But I came this far
To take your hand
Help you understand why I’m always wanting more
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
Oh, just look away
Oh, just look away
Can’t explain what I’m feeling
But I came this far
To take your hand
Help you understand why I’m always wanting more
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
Oh, just look away
Oh, just look away
