Chasing Pavements Quotes

“JAMIE'S SONG 'Bright Blue Dream': I watch the world go round and round. And see the sun go up and down. I think I’ve heard most every sound Except your voice. I feel the river by my feet. And let the tears dry indiscrete. Seems the horizon’s incomplete Without your face. The world is a colder place, Shadows everywhere you used to be. Darker than the darkest nights I’ve seen. And I try go back to that Bright blue dream. When there was nothing, there was nothing, but you and me. Clear blue sky. Yes there was something, there was something, I could not see.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'LOVE TRANSFUSION': I’m not sleeping nights, I’m not doing good. I’m not eating right, have no use for food. All I do is bleed dry for you. But somehow I survive, And wake up with more love for you. It’s not blood running through my veins, it’s you. I’ve had a strange blood transfusion, To add to my confusion. It’s not compatible; I’m going hysterical. It’s some kind of love transfusion. Love transfusion. Love transfusion. I’ve had a strange blood transfusion. Blood transfusion. Blood transfusion. It’s not blood running through my veins, it’s you.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'August and November': They say it was a beautiful summer. I say I felt so cold the whole short while. I heard that it rained for days, Between August and November. Well I didn’t see it rain on the enslaved river. I am the river no more (x2) And the rain is just acid water from their cloudy black smoke. And now I’m at a standstill on the streets, That are lit up like a funfair from some forgotten dream. Yet faces, headlights, and the whole world passes by me. Without taking a step, I’m down in the hole too. And if it rains this coming Dark and lonely December, I will never watch it fall on the entrapped river. I am the river no more (x2) And the rain is acid water from their cloudy black smoke.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'I Had No Choice': I had no choice, I had to be hers. And now she’s gone, I have to be hurt. She’s not the one that I wanted, She’s just the one that I had. She’s not the one that I’d chosen, She’s just the one I got given. I never said, ‘Hey, she’s the one for me,’ It was already built in me. I didn’t say, ‘Hey, she’s so pretty,’ It’s just these eyes were made to see… her. I had no choice, I had to be hers. And now she’s gone, I have to be hurt. I had no choice, that’s how it was written. I had no choice, that’s the life I got given.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'UN-BROKE': Un-broke and, All is well. I did not expect that. Unspoken, All I felt. I should not have done that. But now that is all behind me. Something else, something more defines me. I could be scattered all over the world again, And I would still be me. Find my way back here again. Though I don’t think that could happen, I feel so unbreakable, Now that I am un-broke. Like the wind, I floated. I could not change one thing. Like the trees, I stood there. Branches swayed bare in Spring. My darkest days are behind me. Blinding sun and stars always find me. I could be shattered into the abyss again, But I would still be free. Climb out of the hole again. I’ll see the skies that never darken. I know I’m unbreakable, Now that I am un-broke.”
