Something In The Way That You Are Lyrics
I can feel the cold air fill into my lungs
Brave another winter and pray for the sun
But the sun will never warm my heart the way that you do.
You got me singing out...
I live in a castle where no one can come near
And every wall was laid with bricks of mortar and tears
I swore I'd never lower down this old bridge again
But with every word you speak, my walls crumble in
When we both sing...
There was a time when I could tell you for sure,
That love was just a cruel charade of
Empty words and promises to break
But something in the way that you are
Makes me want to start again
Love can draw a fine line between wisdom and folly
And clarity of visions proves itself beyond worth
But every line is blurry when your eyes are like mine
But still I clearly see what you'd have me find
When we both sing...
There was a time when I could tell you for sure,
That love was just a cruel charade of
Empty words and promises to break
But something in the way that you are
Makes me want to start again
With all the crippling fear that heartache can bring
Darlin' if you take my hand
I'll walk with you from winter into spring
Something in the way that you are
Keeps me hanging on
Brave another winter and pray for the sun
But the sun will never warm my heart the way that you do.
You got me singing out...
And every wall was laid with bricks of mortar and tears
I swore I'd never lower down this old bridge again
But with every word you speak, my walls crumble in
When we both sing...
That love was just a cruel charade of
Empty words and promises to break
But something in the way that you are
Makes me want to start again
And clarity of visions proves itself beyond worth
But every line is blurry when your eyes are like mine
But still I clearly see what you'd have me find
When we both sing...
That love was just a cruel charade of
Empty words and promises to break
But something in the way that you are
Makes me want to start again
With all the crippling fear that heartache can bring
Darlin' if you take my hand
I'll walk with you from winter into spring
Something in the way that you are
Keeps me hanging on

Oh wow can't believe I'm the first one to comment on this song. It's beautiful. One of the best love songs that's been produced in this decade.
To me it just seems that the girl he's singing to has helped him heal his wounds from his past relationships. Even though he's terrified ("crippling fear that heartache can bring"), he's willing to start a relationship with her.
Ah, this song just makes me swoon.
I'm loving the way they write and the recurring elements and symbolism. In fact, according to what I read until now, elements such as the winter (and thus also all those elements such as cold, absence of light and so on...) or the sun (therefore spring, light, streetlights and so on...) constitute a sort of core, talking about their poetic language. Indeed, this entire album seems to be the tale (or logbook) of some bizarre seaman who is giving us a strictly subjective view of all those themes which make up what we call "life".

Posso sentire l’aria gelida entrarmi nei polmoni
Affronto un altro inverno e prego che arrivi il sole
Ma il sole non potrà mai scaldarmi il cuore come fai tu Grazie a te canto…
Vivo in un castello al quale nessuno può avvicinarsi Ed ogni mattone delle mura è fatto di calce e lacrime Giurai che non avrei abbassato questo vecchio ponte una volta di più Ma ad ogni tua parola le mie mura si sgretolano Quando cantiamo assieme…
C’è stato un tempo in cui non avevo dubbi Che l’amore fosse solamente una crudele messinscena Di parole vuote e promesse da rompere Ma qualcosa nel tuo modo di essere Mi fa desiderare di iniziare ancora una volta
L’amore può tracciare una linea sottile tra la saggezza e la follia E la chiarezza di vedute ha un valore inestimabile Ma ogni linea è sfocata quando hai degli occhi come i miei Eppure posso vedere chiaramente cosa vorresti che capissi Quando cantiamo all’unisono…
C’è stato un tempo in cui non avevo dubbi Che l’amore fosse solamente una crudele messinscena Di parole vuote e promesse da rompere Ma qualcosa nel tuo modo di essere Mi fa desiderare di iniziare ancora una volta Con tutta la paura paralizzante che un cuore infranto può causare Amore se stringi la mia mano Attraverserò con te l’inverno verso la primavera Qualcosa nel tuo modo di essere Mi fa resistere
