HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk

He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Step one…haverá maneira mais original de começar uma canção?

Uma amiga minha, leu que esta música fala de dois amigos que se chatearam mas a mim parece-me que eram bem mais do que amigos....let him now that you know better,... lay down a list of what is wrong the things you told him all along (esta última uma típica atitude hehhhhh, feminina)......

Parece que estamos a abrir o coração e ter uma conversa franca....é como se estivéssemos a falar, mais do que por palavras, com a nossa alma...e no fundo, a frustração (where did I go wrong) que temos por não conseguirmos salvar todas as nossas relações...acho que quem ouve a canção não pode ficar indiferente pois já passou por uma conversa deste género.
