when you're not sleeping
It's hard to make it mean something
when it means nothing at all
I fell down the stairs
So glad I found you there
your mistakes and regrets
Sometimes I swore your mind was...
When my hope had died
You (were a friendly life)
I let the lonely nights (have their way)
From my mountain
I (slept by your feet)
Your song will turn unto (a drowning sound)
No rapid type twister soared
On the (frozen ground)
So many thoughts (to dream about)
Some nights I swear there was magic in the air
thanks so much for the lyrics, but I have a few corrections. I'm still not sure about two spots, but everything else I can hear very clearly. this is what I hear:
It's hard to wake up when you're not sleeping It's hard to make it mean something when it means nothing at all
Hear her call, in vain
I slept for a year Until I pulled your hair I fell down the stairs So glad, I found you there
Time to forget your mistakes and regrets Sometimes I swore your mouth was a trap door
And on long black nights When my hope had died You were a friendly knife
So I let the werewolf out I let the ?lonely nights? Have their way
I looked down on you From my mountain I slept by your feet
And when you come out You're somewhere downtown Drowned in sound
And no sleep, no light No appetite, ?twister sore? On the frozen ground
It's all over now So many thoughts To dream about
Some nights I swear there was magic in the air
absolutely in love with seabear
much appreciated. I took in consideration your suggestions and made some improvements to the transcript above. hope you don’t mind. :)
Lovely, I love waltzes.
'Some nights I swear there was magic in the air' - he uses that exact same line in Cat Piano. Am I the only one who's noticed?
A few corrections, sorry...
So I let the werewolf out I let the hungry mouths (have their way)
.... .... ....
And when you come home your song will turn into a drowning sound
No sleep, no light No appetite, twist the ___ On the frozen ground
That's it. this song is about trying to get closer to a loved one, who makes it more and more difficult to get close to them. I personally believe the singer is singing to a girlfriend, but that is kind of a biased view...
It could really be anyone
^hey thanks for the corrections.
in fact, i noticed that sentence on 'cat piano' too. and the use of the 'owl' is present on other lyrics too. i guess that the lyrics' writer wanted to refer to someone or some event that is very close to him, and i find it so beautiful.
does anyone know why this band always talks about owl girl and wolves? does anyone know who owl girl is??
