Bruno Major - To Let A Good Thing Die Lyrics






Old Soul

I just
I don't know I'm in a mood
And I just wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you

Read this through, I've written it down for you
Talks about everything I've been going through
The world to me seems empty, and you're the first reason why
I'll cut straight to what I wanna say to you
I've got so much time and not a lot to do
It won't be news 'cause we're the same person basically

I spend my days listening to old soul
I spend my, spend my, listening to old, old, old soul
Records play, I picture you in my home
We spend our days listening to old soul

I gave you control, you gave me a heart attack
It's the reason why I never called you back
Hope you're not offended, you are my melody
You say it's easy come, I'm saying it's easy go
They're lining up for you, so what you need me for?
Really though, I'll be fine

I spend my days listening to old soul
I spend my, spend my, listening to old, old, old soul
Records play, I picture you in my home
We spend our days listening to old soul (ok)

I spend my days listening to old soul
I spend my, spend my, listening to old, old, old soul
Records play, I picture you in my home
We spend our days listening to old soul

The Most Beautiful Thing

Will it be a pavement or a sidewalk
When I finally lay my eyes on you?
Someone I've already loved
will you find your way out of the blue?

Will it be my flat or your apartment
When I finally realize I do?
Will we meet on Baker Street
Or find ourselves on Melrose Avenue?

I don't know who you are
But I'll save you a seat
Hang my coat on a chair next to me
I tried to reassure the waiter
Say you're down the street
He laughed at me
So here's to you
The most beautiful thing that I have never seen

Someone on a screen asked me a question
Something about what love means to me
Maybe it's just circumstance
Or general compatibility

I don't know who you are
But I'll save you a seat
Hang my coat on a chair next to me
I tried to reassure the waiter
Say you're down the street
He laughed at me
So here's to you
The most beautiful thing that I have never seen

Nothing

Track suits and red wine
Movies for two
We'll take off our phones
And we'll turn off our shoes
We'll play Nintendo
Though I always lose
'Cause you'll watch the TV
While I'm watching you

There's not many people
I'd honestly say
I don't mind losing to
But there's nothing
Like doing nothing
With you

Dumb conversations
We lose track of time
Have I told you lately
I'm grateful you're mine?
We'll watch "The Notebook"
For the seventeenth time
I'll say, it's stupid
Then you'll catch me crying

We're not making out
On a boat in the rain
Or in a house I've painted blue
But there's nothing
Like doing nothing
With you

So shut all the windows
And lock all the doors
We're not looking for no one
Don't need nothing more
You'll bite my lip and
I'll want you more
Until we end up
In a heap on the floor
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)

You could be dancing on tabletops
Wearing high-heels
Drinking until the world
Spins like a wheel
But tonight your apartment
Had so much appeal
Who needs stars?
We've got a roof
And there's nothing
Like doing nothing
With you
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)

No, there's nothing
Like doing nothing
With you

Regents Park

I must have sent four hundred poems on the way you used to smile at me
I used to write them for you daily but my thumbs are running dry lately
No one wants to hear a song about the bitch that broke my heart
I should've listened to my mama, she saw through you from the start

But now we're here in Regent's Park amongst the flowers and I wish it would rain
'Cause in the sun, you look so lovely that I'm falling for you over again
Since I have nothing left to say that will make you change your mind
I'll say goodbye on a beautiful spring day

There was a place not too dissimilar to this one where I first saw your face
You look like home, sat all alone, I should've found somebody cheaper to chase
Tragically, nobody told me how expensive you could be
I lost more than money, dear, you knocked the swagger out of me

But now we're here in Regent's Park amongst the flowers and I wish it would rain
'Cause in the sun, you look so lovely that I'm falling for you over again
Since I have nothing left to say that will make you change your mind
Make you change your mind
I'll say goodbye on a beautiful spring day

Old Fashioned

I know it's not very cool
Standing here, serenading like a fool
But I don't care
I'll gladly be a fool for you

I know the idea isn't new
To fall in love with someone on first view
But I don't care
I think I'll fall in love with you

I'll put on my Sunday best
You pick out your favorite dress
I'll take you somewhere new
I'll be old fashioned for you

It's a cliché, or so I'm told
To give your jacket up to someone when it's cold
But I don't care
I don't mind the midnight air
Oh, oh

I'll walk you home, to your front door
I'll say, "Farewell", until the morning calls
I'll be smiling a bigger smile than before

I'll put on my Sunday best
You pick out your favorite dress
And I'll take you somewhere new

I'll put on my Sunday best
You pick out your favorite dress
I'll take you somewhere new
I'll be old fashioned for you

Old fashioned for you

She Chose Me

Not much to talk to, I know how I look
What I know about life comes out of a book
But of all the people there are in the world
She chose me

Most of my life I've been on my own
Whatever I did, I did it alone
And then she came along, now I'm not alone
Since she chose me

Every night I thank the lucky stars above me
Someone as beautiful as she could really love me
And she really loves me

From time to time, I ask myself
Why was it I and nobody else?
The most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen
And she chose me

And she really loves me

From time to time, I ask myself
Why was it I and not someone else?
The most beautiful girl in all of the world
And she chose me

Figment Of My Mind

I traveled into deep space to see what I could find
A purple angel led me to the universe inside
Welcome to the real world, not the dream you left behind
That was all a figment of your mind

We flew amongst the patterns, impossible designs
They'd been there the whole time hidden by my eyes
If I'd had a body it surely would've cried
But tears were a figment of my mind

Waking with eyes closed from technicolor dreams
Crystal kaleidoscopes were singing blue and green
Realer than real in front of me
If only you could see what I could see

I was shown a few things I'd been getting wrong
She told me I'm a good man and have been all along
By the way I heard her say, "There's no such thing as time"
"It's all a figment of your mind"

Waking with eyes closed from technicolor dreams
Crystal kaleidoscopes were singing blue and green
Realer than real in front of me
If only you could see what I could see

I slowly found my body, color began to fade
I heard a piano playing a knowing serenade
This world feels backwards to my open eyes
'Cause it's all a figment of my mind

Tapestry

Have you seen the seven oceans?
Or the snow cap of a mountain top?
Or the northern lights set in motion?
Or a heartbeat slowed to a stop?

Have you read a book by candle light?
Or heard a leader's call to arms?
Have you ever felt my love burn so bright?
Like a fireball in your palms

More than all the things that I have seen
You will always be part of my tapestry
More than all the places I've been
You will always be part of my tapestry

Have you felt a revolution?
Do you ever sit to stop and pause?
Just to take a little moment
To see what's mine and yours

More than all the things that I have seen
You will always be part of my tapestry
More than all the places I've been
You will always be part of my tapestry

These are just lines of latitude
That we made up, drawn upon a map
We could be meeting with more than minds
We could be woven and intertwined

More than all the things that I have seen
You will always be part of my tapestry
More than all the places I've been
You will always be part of my tapestry

Ill Sleep When Im Older

The taste of a cigarette in Paris in Spring
Conversation with elders and the wisdom they bring
Sunrise in Georgia as holy choirs sing
The view from an aeroplane at twelve thousand feet
Meet God on a mountain-top alone with the stars
Find love somewhere, anywhere, fall deep from the start
Misplace my mind and follow my heart
See the cosmos unfolding and know I'm a part

I'll sleep when I'm older
When the world's got me weathered I'll finally find my way home
I'll sleep when I'm older
Sleep when I'm older

I'll be a firework, not a flickering flame
Treat life all around me like a one player game
I'll go to the party and forget all their names
Should it come back to haunt me, it ends all the same

I'll sleep when I'm older
When the world's got me weathered I'll finally find my way home
I'll sleep when I'm older

I'll sleep when I'm older
I'll sleep when I'm older
I'll sleep when I'm older
Sleep when I'm older

To Let a Good Thing Die

You can't ask a tree to blossom
If it isn't spring
Don't leave the house at midnight
And expect the birds to sing
If you're lookin' for a reason
You needn't even try
Sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

You can't conjure up more money
If you've only got a dime
No use prayin' for your younger days
If you're running out of time
You can take a horse to water
But you can't teach fish to fly
Sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

You can't light a fire from nothing
Or clap and make snow fall
You can't summon love up in your heart
If it isn't there at all
Life isn't like the movies
But it sure will make you cry
When it dawns on you it's time to say goodbye

You can't drum up the heartbeats
Of loved ones come to pass
Stop wishing for forever
'Cause nothing ever lasts
If it's keeping you from sleeping
Wipe the tear from your eye
'Cause sometimes it's time to let a good thing die
