Owl City "Paper Tigers" testo

Paper Tigers

Well I’ve been huddled up alone

By the fire even though

I’m not exactly feeling cold

And I’ve been bundled up for days

Too confused to be amazed

At all the icy water in my veins

Why do I feel so alone?

Yeah I’ve been moving in and out

Of this old split-level house

And I’d just as soon burn the whole place down

‘Cause I quit working lumberyards

To build a mansion out of cards

But I feel thin behind these paper walls

Why do I feel so alone?

‘Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite

Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn’t invite

But if the prettiest romance isn’t perfectly right

That makes every love lost just a holiday every night

Well I’ve been painting through the night

In the basement out of sight

Brushing paper tigers black and white

‘Cause come tomorrow afternoon

I’ll fill a helium balloon

And set them free into the baby blue sky

So they won’t have to be alone

‘Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite

Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn’t invite

But if the prettiest romance isn’t perfectly right

That makes every love lost just a holiday every night

But when I close these heavy lids after dark

Each sweet dream is a target and all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark

‘Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite

Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn’t invite

But if the prettiest romance isn’t perfectly right

That makes every love lost just a holiday every night

Just a holiday every night

Just a holiday every night

Just a holiday every night

Well I’ve been huddled up alone

By the fire even though

I’m not exactly feeling cold

But how my heartache hit the trail

When a paper tiger tail

Fluttered down, I guess I’ll never know

Papirnati zmaji

No, samotno tiščim seob kaminu, čepravmi ni ravno mrzlo

Že dneve toplo odetprezmeden, da bi čudil sevsej ledeni vodi v venah svojih

Zakaj tako osamljem sem?

Ja, selil sem se in izselils' stare dvonadstropne hišein kmalu za tem vse do tal požgal

Ne bom gradil več lesenih dvorišč,da sezidal bi vilo iz karta pučutim se tanek za parirnatimi zidovi

Zakaj tako osamljen sem?

Saj najjeznejši lajež vedno hujši od ugriza jekot prsna bolečina, od srca nepovabljenaA ko najlepša romanca ni zares popolnavsaka ljubezen izgubljena je le praznik vsako noč

No, vso noč slikal semsam v kleti skritrisal zmaje črno na belo na papir

Ko prispe jutri opoldne'napihnil bom balone helijevein izpustil jih v svetlo modro neboda ne bodo samevali

Saj najjeznejši lajež vedno hujši od ugriza jekot prsna bolečina, od srca nepovabljenaA ko najlepša romanca ni zares popolnavsaka ljubezen izgubljena je le praznik vsako noč

A ko zaprem te težke veke, na večerVsake sladke sanje so tarčain vsi moji streli vedno znova močno zgrešeni

Saj najjeznejši lajež vedno hujši od ugriza jekot prsna bolečina, od srca nepovabljenaA ko najlepša romanca ni zares popolnavsaka ljubezen izgubljena je le praznik vsako noč

Le praznik vsako nočSamo praznik vsako nočEdino praznik vsako noč

No, samotno tiščim seob kaminu, čepravmi ni ravno mrzloA kak' boleče srce ozdravilo jeko papirnat zmajev repje priplapolalnikdar vedel ne bom
