10 jaar geleden toegevoegd door Oentje1 And the heart is hard to translate But with all my education I would give all this and heaven too And it talks to me in tiptoes But with all my education And I would give all this and heaven too Florence + The Machine - All This And Heaven Too
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues en quiet sighs
In prayers and proclamations
In the grand days of great men
And the smallest of gestures
In short shallow gasps
I can't
seem to command it
And the words are all escaping
Coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry
If I'd only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
And it sings to me
inside
It cries out in the darkest night
And breaks in the morning light
I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping
Come back all damaged
I would put them back in poetry
If I'd only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been
scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
No oh oh
Words are a language
Doesn't deserve such treatment
And all my stumbling phrases never amounted
To anything worth this feeling
All this
heaven
Never could describe such a feeling as I'm in
Words were never so useful
So I'm screaming out a language
That I never knew existed before

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
And prayers and proclamations
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures
In short, shallow gasps
But with all my education I can′t seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
And I would give
all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
′Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all
And it talks to me on tiptoes
And it sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night
And breaks in the morning light
But with all my education I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put
them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can′t seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
′Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
′Cause I've been scrawling
it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all
No words and poor language
It doesn′t deserve such treatment
And all of my stumbling phrases never amounted
To anything worth this feeling
All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I'm healing
Words were never so useful
So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before
