finding the middle ground

you said I will say goodbye now
(to save my aching heart of burning)
you said it was yours
(to be alone and believe)
you said we are still friends
(to hurt every little bone on my chest)
you said I will pay you a visit
(on my world of secrets to be unveiled)
you said life is meant to be
(to sacrifice and compromise)

but you didn’t say I love you
the only thing, I wish was true

من به باریکی راهی می شوم

که هر روز از آن

نور به قلبم برسد

.و در آن محو شود

چه کسی میدانست

که نوازشهای باد

حتی از افق پنجره هم پیدا بود

you know it all

it’s so great
it’s so grand
life is
without being noticed

and all the known distances
all carefully set
unlike my scrambles when I try to sell a design
you know your trade.

I am staying

I am staying
I don’t want to let you go
When ever we fight
I am the one who always comes back
With a smile on my face
Tickling you, saying zoom zoom zoom
I started doing that when the first Mazda commercial came on TV
Do you remember that?
And when I tell you I am the one who always comes back
You say:
Because you realize that it was your mistake,

It’s alright
Because I don’t want to let you go

it always will be

Its time to move on
you soon will be back in town
and will see that it’s the way it goes
just like nothing to it

harsh words you have spoken
lots of hearts are broken
just ask me to die
and I will show you all the lights, in the sky
the path to heaven
just like nothing to it

I don’t know how it happened
I don’t know when you stopped to care
I just want to know
did you ever think of me as your best friend,

nothing else matters
not a single drop of tear
not even a smile when I come home
never mind the kiss
all seem to be a past fear
just like nothing to it
