Текст песни: The Difference Between Crows and Ravens + перевод

I would stand in the cold for hours, just waiting

On the off-chance you’d bother to tear your attention

From those ever-so-interesting friends and acquaintances

And notice the one that you claimed to love

I would stay up past midnight with my eyes on the phone

Waiting for that call you promised over and over

And when the phone never rang and that call never came

I knew better than to wait for an apology

So why is it that all I remember

Are the days that were perfect?

The nights that we spent holding hands

To keep warm as we walked?

It’s the glint of the soft summer sun

Reflected in your eyes

It’s your voice and your face and your presence

That haunt my dreams now

How many «I-love-you"s of mine went unanswered?

I stopped keeping score of my myriad failures

So long ago that it’s hard to tell

But don’t think I’ve forgotten the way that it felt

You were always the best at maintaining your silence

Just keeping me guessing, with infinite patience

Until the hum of the phone swelled to a nightmarish buzz

And I’d finally speak just to hear someone talk

So why is it that all I remember

Are the days that were perfect?

The nights that we spent holding hands

To keep warm as we walked?

It’s the glint of the soft summer sun

Reflected in your eyes

It’s your voice and your face and your presence

That haunt my dreams now

It’s a pitiful admission

But the truth is fairly plain

I detest you so completely

But love you just the same

It’s a standard situation

We’re just playing out our parts

The pseudo-star-crossed lovers

With their scripted broken hearts

So why is it that all I remember

Are the days that were perfect?

The nights that we spent holding hands

To keep warm as we walked?

It’s the glint of the soft summer sun

Reflected in your eyes

It’s your voice and your face and your presence

That haunt my dreams now
