Текст песни The Great Divide - Noah Kahan

The Great Divide

I can't recall the last time that we talked
About anythin' but lookin' out for cops
We got cigarette burns on the same side of our hands, but we ain't friends
We're just morons who broke skin in the same spot
But I've never seen you take a turn that wide
And I'm high enough to still care if I die
So I tried to read the thoughts that you'd worked overtime to stop
You said, "Fuck off," and I said nothin' for a while

You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstandin' of your life
And how hard it must have been for you back then
And how bad it was to keep it all inside
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul and what he might do with it

You inched yourself across the great divide
We drove aimlessly along the Twin State line
I heard nothin' but the bass in every ballad that you'd play
While you swore to God the singer read your mind
But the world is scared of hesitatin' things
Yeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot sing
And I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfair
It was to stare ahead like everythin' was fine

(Ooh) You know I think about you all the time
(Ooh) And my deep misunderstandin' of your life
(Ooh) And how bad it must have been for you back then
(Ooh) And how hard it was to keep it all inside
(Ooh) I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
(Ooh) I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
(Ooh) Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
(Ooh) And not your soul and what He might do with it

Rage
In small ways
Did you wish that I could know
You'd stay
To some place
I wasn't brave enough to go?

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul and what He might do with it

I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass
I hope you're with someone who isn't scared to ask
I hope that you're not losin' sleep about what's next
Or about your soul and what he might do with it
