Sparrow - Thing For You [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Sparrow]
I know there’s a place
I swear it isn’t that far away
And if there’s a time and place for everything
I just pray there’s another way there than yesterday
It’s the one thing that I can say without any hesitation
And that’s all I can say without tainting it
No matter how many layers I’ve created
I still can’t shroud something that’s unmistakable
And I won’t weather this and just let it wither away
Because it’s true, whether or not I ever tell you anyway
So, don’t shoot the messenger
I just wanna let you know it’s there
But don’t tell me I’m just over exaggerating this because...

[Verse 1: Sparrow]
It’s not a figment of my imagination
It’s got a bottomless pit
But in the best possible way
But unless I’ve got someway to offer
All of the good that it contains
All it does is haunt me
Each and every single day
It’s been too long since I saw your face
You’ve gone and I’ve stood in one place
You probably thought of me on occasion
But I promise I’ve thought of you
More than I ever wanna say
You might not believe it is this way
And I can promise you
I often wished it weren’t the case
But I gotta be honest with myself
Or else I’ll just end up going insane
I know I’ve got something great to offer
But I only have one place where I can deposit it
And I just want this awesome gift within me
To be the positive thing it can be
Instead of my own worst enemy
Out to get, from within me
I’m sorry, I wanted to move on
I don’t want to be a bother
But something always stops me
Every time I start to walk away
And just when i think i’m on my way
I wake up feeling the same thing saying

[Hook: Sparrow]
I’ve got a thing for you
Got no better way to say it
I won’t waste another minute
So, I’m just gonna say it
I’ve still got a thing for you
So sick of playing games
Knowing I’m just wasting days
Till I finally just say it
So now you know
I’ve still got a thing for you

[Verse 2: Sparrow]
Over time I slowly stopped tying to fight it
Because I know it’s great
Even if I can't know if it’ll ever have it’s day
Even if it goes to waste
Even if I don’t get a say
Even if I must take it with me to my grave
I’m not letting go until I no longer feel
Whatever’s been tugging on the other end
Until I’ve dried every brush bristle I can find
As I try to paint the perfect portrait of everything
That words cannot describe
Of a gift from the divine
But feels more like a curse today
Cause I couldn’t give it away if I tried; it’s permanent
So I’ve taken what I was given, and I’m working with it
Trying to make the best of it
By using it as a utensil to write this
And I hope that it finds a way to you
A way to make a mark
Portrays a love you can’t erase
I can’t turn off
And has never changed
And that would still be the case
Even if I’d never made ‘em playable
Let you hear me say these words
That’ve been beating me over the head
Repeating themselves ever since you left
And I’m sorry if I’m screaming
But it’s tough to hear yourself speak
When all you do is think
Sometimes all of the monotony makes me wanna break it
Sometimes I'm afraid it's gonna break me
Sometimes I appreciate it
Sometimes I'm thankful it won't ever break
Sometimes I think I may be going crazy
But there's never been a time I didn’t know who I was crazy for
And I just wanna know that you know that

[Hook: Sparrow x2]
