Able to Love

I wanna write a song so simple it breaks
Life's pointless complexity in a few verses
But I'm on the run
Running away from
Feelings I didn't choose but are mine
And the words that seem to come out of my mouth
Are too clever and I hate it
Seems it's easier to protect, leave the doubt
That I could be the best
What a pity
Miserable, it's me

I wanna write a song so beautiful it'd soothe the death of anything
Feel like it's okay
Oh I wanna help, and help myself
To stop thinking about you on every road I try to take
Cause people all got the exact same car you're driving
And the mass production factories I just curse them
You know we're all the same
Ignoring it is our only shame

And if apples never fall from the tree
If I feel like it's the tree that has fallen on my face
So far from you
I'm so far from what I know we're capable of
Well I am proud to have been
And to still be able to love

I wanna sing a song so true you'd say to you and your friends
You can't decently leave a guy like this
But I'm supposed to imply and go with the flow
Well fuck the flow
I say we learn to walk one step at a time
And we're taught how to die one dead love after one
For miracles we treat like piñatas on a rainy day
Because we're afraid
That it might break
So we break it
But if my song succeed oh where I have failed
Maybe it will open a heart
Or maybe just lift a veil
Either way singing's always a victory

And if apples never fall from the tree
If I feel like it's the tree that has fallen on my face
So far from you
I'm so far from what I know we're capable of
Well I am proud to have been
And to still be able to love

Be able to love
Be able to love
Be able to love
