Текст Eddy Currents — Take the Night

I awoke this morning to the sound of a fist poundin’ the front door
Outside stood a man who said that he had held this address
Many years before
He was grey and weathered, when he spoke it looked as if
He was on the verge of tears
Within these walls and carpeted halls, he confessed
He lived his best years
Without fear

But he don’t know why he came here or what he needed to tell me
You just know when nothing’s left to give
And if I knew anything more, he’d probably have to kill me
‘Cause this is the only life he’s ever lived
This is the only life we’ll ever live

Oh hey ho, oh hey ho

Driving home three days ago to a song on my radio
With a melody so sweet
Must have wiped the tear from my eye when I realized all my dreams
They were incomplete
Now I spend my afternoons with chords reminding me of you
And our entire young life
So why had I been holding out for a better day and a better fate
With a better wife?
Were they lies?

And I don’t know why I ran there or what I needed to tell me
I know you know I ain’t got much to give
But if I wait just one more day, this life is gonna kill me
And this is the only life I’ve ever lived
This is the only life we’ll ever live

Oh hey ho, oh hey ho
Oh hey ho, oh hey ho

Sometimes I go walking late at night to get a feeling right
Sometimes to clear my head
And I stare up at the moon and hum my thoughts to the tune
Of the things I should have said
Then kick a pesky stone down the pathway to that home
Protecting me from fears
And when I’m grey and old and if there’s ever a story told
Were these my best years?

Oh, my dear

Well, I don’t know why I came here or what I needed to tell ya
You’ll just know when something’s left to give
And we all know that when we go it’s gonna be life that kills ya
And this is the only life we’ve ever lived
This is the only life we’ll ever live

Oh hey ho, oh hey ho
Oh hey ho, oh hey ho

And if it’s only life, let’s make things right
And if it’s only life, we’ll take the night
