Counting Crows - Anna Begins [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing"
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me, "For one time only
Make an exception" I am not worried

[Verse 2]
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned

[Verse 3]
With the status of my emotions
Oh, she says, "You're changing"
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to say

[Verse 4]
This isn't love
Cause if you don't wanna to talk about it
Then it isn't love
And I guess, I'm gonna have to live without

[Verse 5]
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray
Or something' in between
And I can always change my name
If that's what you mean

[Verse 6]
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing"
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned

You try to tell your self the things, you try tell your self
To make yourself forget, to make your self forget
I am not worried

[Verse 7]
"If it's love" She said
Then we've gonna have to think about the consequences
Cause she can't stop shaking
And I can't stop touching her

[Chorus]
And this time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away
And Anna begins to change her mind

[Verse 8]
"These seconds when I'm shaking
Leave me shuddering for days" She says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing

But I'm not gonna break
And I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break
Gonna worry about it anymore
No, no, no, no, no

[Verse 9]
It seems like I should say
"As long as this is love"
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should

Snap her up in a butterfly net
And pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
Cause you've done this sort of thing before

[Interlude]
But then I start to think about the consequences
Cause I don't get no sleep in a quiet room

[Chorus]
And this time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away
And Anna begins to change my mind

[Verse 10]
Every time she sneezes
I believe it's love
And oh, Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn

[Verse 11]
And every word is nonsense
But I understand
And oh, Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along
And Anna begins to fade away

[Outro]
It's chasing me away
She disappears
And oh, Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
