Testo The Heart Is A Mirror - Ben Watt
Testo della canzone The Heart Is A Mirror (Ben Watt), tratta dall'album Hendra (Deluxe)
Miles of flattened trees and the river serpentine
Ribbons of wild geese above the cedars and the pines
You can travel to escape yourself
But the fact is you still take yourself
Feathered hopes and black concerns
At every twist and every turn
Always set on high alert
Thinking that you will get hurt
When so much of love is so neutral and so misread
Wound up like a coiled spring
We'll jump off at anything
But most of this stuff is just happening in our own head
Oh, the heart is a mirror
Where it's easy just to see yourself
Yeah, the heart is a mirror
Where it's easy just to see yourself
Rachel's friend, he lost his job
And now his wife earns everything
So he cooks the food and he bathes the kids
And for their bedtime their songs he's learned to sing
But there's one thing he doesn't get
He sees his wife as a threat
When most of her love is so neutral and so misread
He shouts and he disagrees
He can't allow her any victories
But most of the stuff is just happening in his own head
Oh, the heart is a mirror
Where it's easy just to see your own face
Yeah, the heart is a mirror
Where it's easy just to see your own face
So, come on my heart, where do we start?
Are you that easy to outsmart, my stupid heart?
Why so foolish and why so weak?
And where do you get this selfish streak?
You see the bad in everyone
Who are you trying to outrun?
Always set on high alert
Thinking that you will get hurt
When so much of her love is so neutral and so misread
Open up your arms tonight
Open up and hold her tight
Because most of this stuff is just happening in your own head
Oh, the heart is a mirror
Where it's easy just to see yourself
Yeah, the heart is a mirror
Where it's easy just to see yourself
Oh, the heart is a mirror
Oh, the heart
So open your arms tonight
Yeah, open your arms tonight
