Babyface Lyrics

«How Come, How Long»

There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she’s not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl

How come, how long
It’s not right, it’s so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it’s too late
Right now, we can’t wait
She won’t have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That’s what we’d like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn’t that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody’s life

I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn’t right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin’ his woman with his hands
Oh I wish she’d seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he’s far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
‘Cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn’t right

Перевод песни Welcome home (Radical Face)

Welcome home

Добро пожаловать домой

Sleep don’t visit, so I choke on sun
And the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes
Hum with things I’ve never done

Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts
Over old dead grass
Was never much but we made the most

Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please
Let me know what piece I’ve lost

Heal the scars from off my back
I don’t need them anymore
You can throw them out or
Keep them in your mason jars

All my nightmares escaped my head
Bar the door, please don’t let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head’s splitting at the seams

And I don’t know if I can

Here, beneath my lungs,
I feel your thumbs
Press into my skin again

Сон не посещает, поэтому я давлюсь солнцем
И дни смазываются в один
И моя душа 1 раздражается вещами,
Которые я не сделал.

Простыни покачиваются на старой бельевой веревке
Как ряд захваченных призраков
Над увядшей травой.
Никогда не делалось много, но мы сделали большее.

Добро пожаловать домой.

Корабли отчаливают с моей груди
Некоторые названы, но большинство из них — нет
Если ты найдешь одного, пожалуйста,
Дай мне знать, что я утратил

Излечи шрамы на моей спине
Они мне больше не нужны
Ты можешь их выбросить или
Хранить их в твоем керамическом кувшине

Все кошмары вырвались из моей головы
Запри дверь на засов, пожалуйста, не дай им войти
Ты не должна была уходить
Сейчас моя голова трещит по швам

И я не знаю, смогу ли

Здесь, под моими легкими
Я чувствую, как твои пальцы
Надавливают на мою кожу снова

Or3o Lyrics

«Welcome Home»
(originally by SquigglyDigg)

I know you’re seein’, but not believin’
A picture’s worth a thousand words
And look who’s holding the pen
You let me out of my cell
And the ink’s run out of the well

I know you’re frightened, but hey just lighten up
How else ya gonna see the shadows in the corner of your eyes?
We’ve got a killer surprise
It’s our thanks for all of your lies

Springin’ from the posters and the reel on the tape
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
And all the years you left us rotting here with nothing but rejection
Made us bitter and cold, so give us what we’re owed

I got a million things to say to someone like you
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind
You can’t rewind, it’s far too late for that now

Now the ink is running faster
Say your prayers and hope you’ll last
Cuz’ it’s a hell of a show
And you’re in the front row
Oh Henry, welcome home
You’ve been away for far too long

No longer sketches, distorted wretches
How could so much have happened since you left so long ago
Well, buddy don’tcha know
You’re gonna reap what you have sown

Maybe if you blink you’ll see it’s all in your head
But while your eyes are closed, you might just wind up dead
So make a choice and hope that I don’t hear your voice, cuz’ I’m a-comin’
It’s the end of the line, you can’t erase this time

I got a million memories of agony and pain
Sent down the drain like all the other drafts
Ya’ thought you really got away but now it’s time to pay
It’s Judgement Day; I’ll have the final laugh

Now the ink is running faster
Say your prayers and hope you’ll last
Cuz’ it’s a hell of a show
And you’re in the front row
Oh Henry, welcome home
You’ve been away for far too long

Springin’ from the posters and the reel on the tape
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
And all the years you left us rotting here with nothing but rejection
Made us bitter and cold, so give us what we’re owed

I got a million things to say to someone like you
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind
You can’t rewind, it’s far too late for that now

Now the ink is running faster
Say your prayers and hope you’ll last
Cuz’ it’s a hell of a show
And you’re in the front row
Oh Henry, welcome home
You’ve been away for far too long
Welcome home
You’ve been away for far too long
Welcome home
You’ve been away for far too long
