Brandi Carlile , Marcus Mumford - How [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Marcus Mumford]
I have wondered what was done to you
To give you such a taste of flesh
I guess for years I just carried on
Didn't feel much of a choice to express

[Pre-Chorus: Marcus Mumford & Brandi Carlile]
I hope your memory is less vivid than mine
And the street from that awful maple light
I have to say I wish you had just done it in the dark
So the pictures didn't burn so bright

[Chorus: Marcus Mumford & Brandi Carlile]
But I forgive you now
Release you from all the blame I know how
And I'll forgive you now
As if saying the words will help me know how
Please help me know how

[Verse 2: Marcus Mumford & Brandi Carlile]
I'm afraid it will take a turn
I make my case to the [?] as I bring him his cup
And I tell him the best I can what I need
To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up

[Pre-Chorus: Marcus Mumford & Brandi Carlile]
And I have reckoned with what you have taken from me
And I killed that liar in my head
I buried him beneath the maple tree
There's no joy in dancing with the dead

[Chorus: Marcus Mumford & Brandi Carlile]
But I'll forgive you now
Release you from all of the blame I know how
And I'll forgive you know
As if saying the words will help me know how

[Post-Chorus: Marcus Mumford & Brandi Carlile]
How, how
