The Only Thing - Sufjan Stevens

You only fuck for love Told me you could never get enough Posing as a Playboy centerfold You could be my Penthouse Pet, I know You make me think of storms on the beaches With all the lights off Everything is wrong, but it's alright Everything is wrong, but it's alright You're the only good thing in my life Do what your heart desires Love is always strange when it just starts Shouldn't have a care left in the world Naked, tanning by the swimming pool... You make me think of storms on the beaches With all the lights off Everything is wrong, but it's alright Everything is wrong, but it's alright You're the only good thing in my life Laying in the sun, Never need to tell me when you come Because you know that I can just feel it

She told me where I could go Just stopped in here before I went And I'll be here until you close Or all my money's spent So if you don't mind, my friend Bartender, pour me one more Make it quick and make it strong 'Cause buddy, my last drink, yeah Ain't the only thing that's gone Here's a hundred and some change I'll take whatever that'll buy Leave a 20 for the band If they'll lay off lonesome songs tonight And whenever you get time Bartender, pour me one more Make it quick and make it strong 'Cause buddy, my last drink, yeah Ain't the only thing that's gone Oh, no Bartender, pour me one more Make it quick and make it strong 'Cause buddy, my last drink, yeah Ain't the only thing that's gone And I ain't got nowhere to be And I'd rather not go home 'Cause buddy, my last drink, yeah Ain't the only thing that's gone

Three weeks gone, miss your face Same old songs, different stage Hear your voice, ain't the same Wanna feel you closer, now I'm counting down the days 'Cause you're the furthest thing But damn, do we still fit so perfectly? 'Cause you're the furthest thing But damn, do we still fit so perfectly, perfectly? Yeah Hotel rooms even now Silence feels way too loud Won't feel right 'til my wheels touch down Crazy how we thought by now we'd have it figured out 'Cause we're the furthest thing But damn, do we still fit so perfectly? 'Cause we're the furthest thing But damn, do we still fit so perfectly, perfectly? Yeah Distance makes the heart grow stranger When the stars go out of view Something in the universe pulls me back to you Distance makes the heart grow stranger When the stars go out of view Something in the universe pulls me back to you You're the furthest thing Furthest thing, furthest thing, furthest thing Yeah, when you're the furthest thing Damn, do we still fit so perfectly? Yeah, we're the furthest thing But damn, do we still fit so perfectly, perfectly? Yeah, yeah, yeah No no, no

Go! Let yourself go Go! Go! let yourself go Searching for the real thing Do this! Do this! Come on, come on Do this! Do this! No more waiting, anticipating We're searching for the real thing No more waiting, anticipating We're going for the real thing I select the thoughts and needs from the people's minds Combine it with my own style, I ain't blind One of a kind make sure I'll find A way to gain and win cause it's the real thing The music flows, I lay these rhymes Time for some action cause it's about time Pay close attention, are you out, are you in?

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
