Текст песни: Aaron + перевод

Aaron’s got a shop up in northern Vermont

Where the days don’t run, they just plod along

He spends each one working in a haze

Humming sad songs

And in the back on the rack

There’s an old guitar with a few good strings.

And he stays and he plays until it’s dark

And he always sings:

«I don’t write sad songs,

They just seem to find me.

I’ve been standing still

And I feel a little restless now.

Here for years and now I fear

that there’s no way out.

Holding onto something that just holds me down.

And I don’t know, no, I don’t know, I don’t know if this is me."

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday at the bar

Trying to feel less hollow

But he skips the booze for the back hallway

And the old piano.

And when it’s 2am and the bar room’s all spilled out

It’s just him and the owner

And the man says «Aaron, why the sad ones now?»

And Aaron shrugs his shoulders

«I don’t like sad songs, they just seem to right me.

I’ve been standing still

And I feel a little restless now.

Here for years and now I fear

that there’s no way out.

Holding onto something that just holds me down.

And I don’t know, no, I don’t know, I don’t know if this is me.

They say life’s a little sweeter for the struggle is

I can’t seem to care what they say

Life’s a little sweeter for the struggle is

I can’t seem to care what they say

I’ve been standing still

And I feel a little restless now.

Here for years and now I fear

that there’s no way out.

Holding onto something that just holds me down.

Holding onto something that just holds me down.

Well I’m done holding onto something that just holds me down.

Cause I don’t know, no, I don’t know, I don’t know if this is me."
