Years/Cleo's Song Lyrics
Ain't no use in calling up your friends
Ain't no use in hiding in your bed
And ain't no use in standing on your head
Cause no new sights can fill your loneliness
Seven days of time to fix your head
Seven days of time you walk the ledge
And every time you catch the sight of your reflection
And you can't decide if you should cry or if it's time to laugh
Can't count how many times I've heard you say
You'd give up all you got for just a day
Of feeling fine, no counting lines
That settled up under your eyes
To fall in love, to fall in love, to fall in love
And sympathy no doubt you weren't your friend
And it's too late now but I wrote this down back then
And there ain't no use in cutting through the darkness that envelops you
You have to let the light come in instead
Ain't no use in hiding in your bed
And ain't no use in standing on your head
Cause no new sights can fill your loneliness
Seven days of time you walk the ledge
And every time you catch the sight of your reflection
And you can't decide if you should cry or if it's time to laugh
You'd give up all you got for just a day
Of feeling fine, no counting lines
That settled up under your eyes
To fall in love, to fall in love, to fall in love
And it's too late now but I wrote this down back then
And there ain't no use in cutting through the darkness that envelops you
You have to let the light come in instead

My friend sent the lyrics from the CD case:
Ain't no use in calling up your friends Ain't no use in hiding in your bed And ain't no use in standing on your head Cause no new sights can fill your loneliness
Seven days of time to fix your head Seven days of time you walk the ledge And every time you catch the sight of your reflection And you can't decide if you should cry or if it's time to laugh
Can't count how many times I've heard you say You'd give up all you got for just a day Of feeling fine, no counting lines That settled up under your eyes To fall in love, to fall in love, to fall in love
And sympathy no doubt you weren't your friend And it's too late now but I wrote this down back then And there ain't no use in cutting through the darkness that envelops you You have to let the light come in instead
This is such a beautiful song. <3
I agree, beautiful song...JBM is such a amazing artist, his songs has soul, his lyrics are so powerful and I'm in love with his music..
"And there ain't no use in cutting through the darkness that envelops you You have to let the light come in instead"
Such a powerful lyrics...
This is a letter written from a good friend/son to his mother who has just gotten out of rehab.
He first recounts on the ways she first tried to fill her emptiness (with friends, with lethargy, with yoga), but to no avail.
He then describes her experience in the hospital, a time to fix her head. She never imagined herself ending up in a rehab center, so every time she sees her reflection she can't decide to cry or laugh.
He'd heard her say many times that she just wants a normal day without snorting lines of this stuff and getting the bags under her eyes. She still dreams of falling in love.
Very few people on the outside offered her sympathy. And he apologizes for having these thoughts back then, but never extending to her any comfort. He recommends concentrating on receiving the light rather than concentrating on fending off darkness.
You'd give up all you got for just a day of feeling fine, no counting lines that settled up under your eyes. To fall in love.
This specific lyric just breaks my heart, I cannot remember the last time in my life I didn't need a substance to get through the day... I'd give anything to feel fine, I'd give anything to be someone else.
