Pentimento - Tiger Eye [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

When I get the call, I'll be sure to put the pedal to the floor
Cause I know it's what you would want
And after all, you've done the same for me at least a thousand times
Even when I didn't know I needed you
I'd like to use the word "afraid"
But I'm afraid that it just wouldn't do
But I'm scared that if I pray for angels to take you away...
No matter how much I beg or I ask or I plead with God
He'll just send an ambulance

And it will be over
It will be over way too soon
It will be over
It will be over way too soon

My father said to me
"Take your biggest swing at the world
And don't give up until you get exactly where it is you want to be
And don't you dare love anyone who doesn't deserve your love
And don't forget me when I'm gone
Forget me when I'm gone, but carry on"
