WAITING FOR SLOW SONGS — текст песни (sloan)

(J. Ferguson/Sloan)

When you and your cast of friends arrive
And the party reaches a new high
Don`t you think it`ll last too long
Before you know it, baby
They break out into that song

That I know I`ve heard it once or twice
From where I just can`t be precise
Even though it`s irrelevant
It`s as if I`ve woken from
A confused and cloudy dream

But you write the saddest song
Turn around and make it a singalong
The heart scratch melody
Means there`s more than this for you and me

When you wait by the door, look for your ride
Where the shoes are piled up on the side
And the dancing`s out of hand
Don`t leave just `cause they won`t play your favourite band

And the night it goes on and on
And I`m waiting for slow songs
But I block out most of the singing
Replaced by bells, is that your ride?
You only just arrived


Could you write the saddest song
Turn around and make it a singalong
The heart scratch melody
Means there`s more than this for you and me
Yeah

And the night it goes on and on
I`m through waiting for slow songs
But I block out most of the ringing
Replaced by thoughts unjustified
I wish that I could write

Could you write the saddest song
Turn around and make it a singalong
The heart scratch melody
Means there`s more to this than you and me

If words could be combined
To describe your trademark look tonight
I`d write it out to boost my career
But you know that writing always takes me years
