Circus Heart Pt. 1
He was racing his way home
Running every light
Trying to get pulled over
Maybe use his fight or flight
And there was not so much a silence
As there was a dissonance
No one talked about the things
That weren't relevant
She said:
"if you want me
I'll be waiting
On the fourth ave stop!
You can take the heart from your chest
To use as a compass
When you are lost"
And he had never heard before
Such passionate discourse
But no one talked about those things
For better,
Or for worse
She said:
"i have been your lover, dear
I have been your mother, dear
I have been the eye of your storm
When there was no break in sight
And i have been your troubadour
Singing your praises from shore to shore
If your circus heart wants more...
Good luck, and goodbye"
And guess what
He made it home on time
Circo Corazón Pt. 1
Él iba corriendo hacia casa
Pasándose todos los semáforos
Tratando de que lo detuvieran
Quizás usar su instinto de lucha o huida
Y no era tanto un silencio
Sino una disonancia
Nadie hablaba de las cosas
Que no eran relevantes
Ella dijo:
"si me quieres
Estaré esperando
En la parada de la cuarta avenida
Puedes tomar el corazón de tu pecho
Para usarlo como brújula
Cuando estés perdido"
Y nunca antes había escuchado
Un discurso tan apasionado
Pero nadie hablaba de esas cosas
Para mejor,
O para peor
Ella dijo:
"he sido tu amante, querido
He sido tu madre, querido
He sido el ojo de tu tormenta
Cuando no había tregua a la vista
Y he sido tu trovador
Cantando tus alabanzas de costa a costa
Si tu corazón de circo quiere más...
Buena suerte, y adiós"
Y adivina qué
Él llegó a casa a tiempo
