You Are What You Love — текст песни (Jenny Lewis)

this is no great illusion
when i`m with you i`m looking for a ghost
or invisible reasons
to fall out of love and run screaming from our home
because we live in a house of mirrors
we see our fears and everything
our songs, faces, and secondhand clothes
but more and more we`re suffering
not nobody, not a thousand beers
can keep us from feeling so all alone

but you are what you love
and not what loves you back
that`s why i`m here on your doorstep
pleading for you to take me back

the phone is a fine invention
it allows me to talk endlessly to you
about nothing disguising my intentions
which i`m afraid, my friend, are wildly untrue
it`s a sleight of hand, a white soul band
the heart attacks i`m convinced i have
every morning upon waking
to you i`m a symbol or a monument
your rite of passage to fufillment
but i`m not yours for the taking

but you are what you love
and not what loves you back
i guess that`s why you keep calling me back

i`m fraudulent, a thief at best
a coward who paints a bullshit canvas
things that will never happen to me
but at arms length, it`s tim who said
i`m good at it, i`ve mastered it
avoiding, avoiding everything

but you are what you love, tim
and not what loves you back
and i`m in love with illusions
so saw me in half
i`m in love with tricks
so pull another rabbit out of your hat
