R.E.M. - Leaving New York [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
It's quiet now
And what it brings
Is everything

Comes calling back
A brilliant night
I'm still awake

I looked ahead
I'm sure I saw you there

You don't need me
To tell you now
That nothing can compare

[Chorus]
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden A frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around

[Chorus 1]
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York, never easy
I saw the light fading out

[Verse 2]
Now life is sweet
And what it brings
I tried to take
But loneliness
It wears me out
It lies in wait

And I've lost
Still in my eyes
The shadow of necklace
Across your thigh
I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear
This is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass
Mercurial future, forget the past
It's you, it's what I feel

[Chorus]

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]
I told you, forever
I love you, forever
I told you, I love you
I love you, forever
I told you, forever
You never, you never
You told me forever

[Chorus]

[Chorus 1]
