Hey, At Least It's not MY Poetry
I've come up with an irrefutable proof on how any unselfish act is inherrently amoral, and I'll tell it to you, dear Japhyjunket reader, soon enough. The thing is, before I post it and thereby doom myself to being branded a heartless cynic for all eternity, I thought I'd share with you these song lyrics, because I found them by accident and I love them. Occasionally, I put a song on repeat for a good week or two. It's only been a day, but this one's a keeper. I'd reccomend checking out Jane Siberry if you haven't had a chance to previously.
And for all you tea leaf readers out there, don't go looking for hidden meanings. It's just a damn good song and I like it, so pffft!
Love is Everything
Jane Siberry (additional lyrics by k.d. lang)
(These are the correct lyrics to the k.d. lang version of the song. The lyric databases used the original lyrics and are incorrect)
Maybe it was to learn how to love
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
Or maybe it was for the games that we played
Maybe it was to learn how to choose
Maybe it was learn how to lose
Or maybe it was for love that we made
Love was everything
they said it would be
love makes sweet and sad the same
But love forgot to make me
too blind to see-
You're chickening out, aren't you?
You're banging on the beach like an old tin drum
I can't wait for you to make your whole kingdom come
So, I'm leaving
Maybe it was to learn how to fight
Maybe it was to lessen our pride
Or maybe it's just nature's way
Maybe it was to learn how to laugh
Maybe it was to learn to cry
Or maybe it was for the love that we made
Love was everything
they said it would be
love makes sweet and sad the same
And love forgot to make me
too blind to see-
You're chickening out, aren't you?
You're banging on the beach like an old tin drum
I can't wait for you to make your whole kingdom come
So, I'm leaving
First I turned to you
Then I turn away
So you try real hard
Lean back
Oh, it breaks your body down
So you
try to run
bigger, better, still
but it is too late
So take a lesson from a strangeness you feel
And know you'll never be
the same
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say:
"I gave my love, didn't I?
And I gave it big sometimes
And I gave it in my own sweet time.
I'm just leaving."
I'm just leaving.
