"Landed" - Ben Folds

Cari miei amici blogger e non-blogger, oggi vi dedico questa meravigliosa canzone di Ben Folds, un cantautore americano che qui in Italia credo ascolto solo io e altre sei persone. E' davvero un bravo musicista, che ho scoperto poco più di un annetto fa grazie ad una segnalazione dei mitici Elio & le Storie Tese su iTunes. Questa canzone poi mi piace moltissimo e mi ha accompagnato soprattutto negli ultimi mesi.

We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about
We moved to the west coast
Away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still
I was still in love

Til I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
And I twisted it wrong
Just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
And I've been flying high all night
So come pick me up
I've landed

The daily dramas
She made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me
And talk me back down
Til I believed I was the crazy one
And in a way
I guess I was

When I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Treading the sea of her troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried

If you wrote me off
I'd understand it
Cause I've been on
Some other planet
So come pick me up
I've landed

And you will be so
Happy to know
I've come alone
It's over

When I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Down falls the rain on the telephone czar
It's ok to call
Now I'll answer for myself

Come pick me up
Come pick me up
I've landed
