Sufjan Stevens - Impossible Soul songtekst

Je score:




[PART I:]



Ooh. Woman, tell me what you want

And I'll calm down without bleeding out 

With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour

Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know 

My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes

I was wigging out, too much worry, I could not get you at all

If you said what you want, you would laugh it off

But I know you won't go, not for either class

Must you write it off for the impossible soul?

And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow

Lest I put it off, 'fore I put it right for the impossible soul

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life to you, if I could get you at all

Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone

To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all

You said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"

But all I want is the perfect love, though I know it's small, I want love for us all

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life to you, if I could get you at all

Oh, oh oh oh, trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Do you want to be afraid? 

Do you want to be afraid?

For life in the cage where courage's mate runs deep in the wake

For the scariest things are not half as enslaved

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Do you want to be alone? 

Do you want to be alone?

For life is instead on righteousness led

The seat and the head, of impossible flocks for an interest in books??

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Do you want to love me more? 

Do you want to love me more?

For love is the grain

If watered and ?wind? is cursed by the same thing that nurtured its shame

Is it worth all the work?

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Have you failed to feel delight? (No, I don't want to feel pain)

And have you failed to feel delight? (No, I don't want to feel pain)

Instead of the love, lived tired and lost, have you left it at last

Where it floundered its death with the language of ghosts?

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Do you want to be afraid? (No, I don't want to feel pain)

Do you want to be afraid? (No, I don't want to feel pain)

For life in the cage where where courage's mate runs deep in the wake

For the scariest things are not half as enslaved

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Don't be distracted now



[PART II:]



Stupid man in the window 

I couldn't be addressed

All my delight, all that mattered

I couldn't be addressed

From what I liked, from what I gathered

I couldn't be addressed

Stupid man in the window

I couldn't be addressed

(judgement, judgement)



And don't be shy in the window

Come down and give your best

Oh, delight in the window

I couldn't be addressed

Stupid man in the window

I couldn't be addressed

From what I like, from what I gathered

I couldn't give my best



Now I know it wasn't safe

It wasn't safe to breathe at all

Now I know it wasn't safe

It wasn't safe to breathe at all

(It wasn't safe, it wasn't safe)

Now I know it wasn't safe 

It wasn't safe to breathe at all

(It wasn't safe, it wasn't safe)

Now I know it wasn't safe

It wasn't safe to speak at all



[PART III:]



(Hold on to, hold on to)

One two three four!

It's a long life

Better pinch yourself

Put your faith together

Better get it right

It's a long life

Better hit yourself

Put your face together

Better stand up straight

It's a long life 

Only one last chance

Could it get much better

Do you wanna dance

It's a long life

Better pinch yourself

Get your face together

Better stand up straight



Boy we can do much more together

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life

Boy we can do much more together

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life

Boy we can do much more together

Better get it right get it right get it right get it right

Boy we can do much more together

It's not so impossible

It's not so impossible



It's a long life

Better pinch yourself

Get your face together

Better roll along

It's a long life

Better pinch yourself

Put your face together

Better stand up straight

It's a long life

Only one last chance

Couldn't get much better

Do you wanna dance

It's a good life

Better pinch yourself

Is it possible? Is it possible?

Boy we can do much more together

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life

Boy we can do much more together

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life

Boy we can do much more together

Better get it right get it right get it right get it right

Boy we can do much more together

It's not so impossible

It's not so impossible



[more of that, plus this variation:]



In the wrong life

Everything is chance at the register

Do you wanna dance

In the right life

It's a miracle 

Possibilities. 

Do you wanna dance



[PART IV:]



I never meant to cause you pain

My burden is the weight of a feather

I never meant to lead you on

I only meant to please me, however



And then you tell me "Boy, we can do much more together."



I'm nothing but a selfish worm?

I'm nothing but a privileged puppet

And did you think I'd stay the night

And did you think I'd love you forever



And then you tell me "Boy, we can do much more together."

I gotta tell you "Girl, I want nothing less than pleasure."

I gotta tell you "Boy, we made such a mess together."
