heart is hard to translate - prewski, the confusion
I. I’m Not Calling You a Liar - Florence + The Machine
“I’m not calling you a liar Just don’t lie to me I’m not calling you a thief Just don’t steal from me I’m not calling you a ghost Just stop haunting me And I love you so much I’m gonna let you Kill me And when you kiss me, I’m happy enough“
II. Who Wants To Live Forever - Queen
“There’s no time for us There’s no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us Who wants to live forever Who dares to love forever Oh oo woh, when love must die But touch my tears with your lips Touch my world with your fingertips And we can have forever Forever is our today”
III. Counting Paths - Matthew and the Atlas
“I crossed a clearing yesterday Somewhere that I recognised Counted all the paths along the way Further than I’ve been before Touched your hand but nothing more No one’s ever looked at me that way Soon your touch will dissapear It’s something that i recognise Something that i should have come to fear Trace the lines upon your face They tell the tale you can’t erase No one’s ever looked at you that way”
IV. All This and Heaven Too - Florence + The Machine
“And the heart is hard to translate It has a language of it’s own It talks in tongues and quiet sighs And prayers and proclamations in the grand days Of great men and the smallest of gestures In short shallow gasps But with all my education I can’t seem to commend it And the words are all escaping me And coming back all damaged And I would put them back in poetry If I only knew how, I can’t seem to understand it And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand The meaning of the word you see ‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever But it never makes sense to me at all“
V. How Would You Feel - Ed Sheeran
“How would you feel, if I told you I loved you? It’s just something that I want to do I’ll be taking my time, spending my life Falling deeper in love with you So tell me that you love me too“
VI. Diamonds On The Inside - Ben Harper
“I knew a girl Her name was truth She was a horrible liar She couldn’t spend One day alone But she couldn’t be satisfied So tell me why The first to ask Is the last to give, every time What you say And do not mean Follow too close behind ‘Cause she had diamonds on the inside”
VII. Raging Fire - Phillip Phillips
“We are dead to rights, born and raised We are thick and thin to our last days So hold me close and I’ll surrender to your heart You know how to give and how to take You see every hope I locked away So pull me close and surrender to my heart Before the flame goes out tonight Yeah we live until we die So come out, come out, come out Won’t you turn my soul Into a raging fire“
VIII. Someone to You - Banners
“I don’t wanna die or fade away Dive and disappear without a trace I just wanna be someone Well, doesn’t everyone? And if you feel the great dividing I wanna be the one you’re guiding 'Cause I believe that you could lead the way And if the sun’s upset and the sky goes cold Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall I really need somebody to call my own I wanna be somebody to someone Someone to you“
IX. Tear In My Heart - Twenty One Pilots
“Sometimes you gotta bleed to know That you’re alive and have a soul But it takes someone to come around To show you how She’s the tear in my heart I’m alive”
X. Friends - Ed Sheeran
“We’re not No we’re not friends Nor have we ever been We just try to keep those secrets in a lie And if they find out, will it all go wrong? And heaven knows no one wants it to So I could take the back road But your eyes will lead me straight back home And if you know me like I know you You should love me, you should know Friends just sleep in another bed And friends don’t treat me like you do Well, I know that there’s a limit to everything But my friends won’t love me like you”
