The Gaslight Anthem -Dark Places

If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the sea.

If the fire and the smoke and explosions could speak for me.

If the words that I used to try to explain

How something inside of me started to break.

Ah, but one by one my words just got in the way.

And how many nights did I crash against the waves

With my head going under?

How many days did I spend trying to see it your way?

If you try you'd remember.

I changed a change and kept on saying,

"One of these days something inside's gonna break.

And we won't get it back now, baby" (something's gonna break.)

If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart.( 4x)

All of the things that I tried to explain,

How something inside of me started to break.

We were living proof, one by one we drifted away.

One by one we drifted away.

And time after time there were things that would scare me to tears,

While you called me haunted.

I paced around the bed where you laid.

One of these days baby, something… (something's gonna break)

And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart. (4x)

"und wenn ich glauben würde, das es helfen würde, ich würde deinen Namen in mein Herz ritzen".
Ein wunderbares Lied von einer tollen Band, das für mich eine Art Hilflosigkeit beschreibt. Wen man alles versucht hat, sei es in einer Beziehung oder im Bezug auf einen Lebensbereich, aber irgendwie das Gefühl hat es trotz alledem nicht mehr so hinzubekommen wie es früher einmal war.
