Текст песни VIEW FROM OUR BEDROOM WINDOW (La Dispute) с переводом

You are sleeping in the room alone now

You are restless in the night

When the lightning from the storm strikes, you shine

For a second in the light

I wait

For a moment when the weather breaks

I can feel you in the mattress shake

I can see the way an old pain holds you

Morning falling in the frame

You stay down

I faced my failure in no way I escaped it

In the calm before a breakdown takes

Like a rapture in the night

You fight hard

I faced my own pain in no way I embraced it

In the bedroom with the door locked tight

Like a coward when the flash burns bright I’ll hide

Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame

Lighting the path away

Brighter than lightning and burning

Striking the ground

We spend summers awake

We shake at shadow shapes

The wind it rattles our chains

We’re always turning around

You were standing in the doorway

You were staring in the flames

How the fire from the house next door mixed

With the colors from the cop cars

I saw

Neighbors gathered in the alleyway

In the summer in the heat

I wait for a way that I can chase your pain out

Gather water for the flames

I wait

Nights we both shook

Any noise echoed in our room

Rattled on the floor like shells scattering

Or like hail falling on the hood of our car

Do you remember that drive south?

Coastbound just us two

Savannah west in the mirror

And winter in rearview burning

How the storm fell so harshly we felt swallowed

And traffic stopped before and behind us

Hard rain in sheets grey and unbroken

Hazards flashed dimly in all directions

Like small satellites or like lighthouse beacons

We turned the radio off

I gripped the wheel tight

When the storm burst and clouds split suddenly open to the sky

All colors at once and us dumbstruck with love and terror both

As if before us stood temples ancient and terrifying

The light refracting truth to see death and life in all things

Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame

I was the last to change

Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down

Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame

I was the last to change

Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down

The wind rattles our chains

We shake our fists at the pain

We shake at shadow shapes

We cup our hands in the storm

And watch our houses burning

We catch the rain to fight it
