Closer To Fine
Amy Elizabeth Ray, Emily Ann Saliers
I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
But the best thing you ever done for me
Was to help me take my life less seriously
'Cause it's only life after all, yeah
It's only life after all
Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
I'm crawlin' on your shores
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
But there's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine, yeah
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
And I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
But there's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line, yeah
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
I stopped by the bar at 3 AM
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against the board
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking clarity
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
Yeah, we go to the Bible, and we go through the workout
And we read up on revival, and we stand up for the lookout
And there's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine (to fine)
The closer I am (the closer I am)
The closer I am (the closer I am)
The closer I am to fine (to fine)
The closer I am
I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' about my life
Ich versuche dir etwas über mein Leben zu erzählen
Maybe give me insight between black and white
Vielleicht gibt es mir Einblick zwischen Schwarz und Weiß
But the best thing you ever done for me
Aber das Beste, was du jemals für mich getan hast
Was to help me take my life less seriously
War mir zu helfen, mein Leben weniger ernst zu nehmen
'Cause it's only life after all, yeah
Denn es ist nur das Leben nach allem, ja
It's only life after all
Es ist nur das Leben nach allem
Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
Nun, die Dunkelheit hat einen unersättlichen Hunger
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
Und das Licht hat einen Ruf, der schwer zu hören ist
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
Ich wickle meine Angst wie eine Decke um mich
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
Ich segelte mein Schiff der Sicherheit, bis ich es versenkte
I'm crawlin' on your shores
Ich krieche an deinen Ufern
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
Ich ging zum Arzt, ich ging in die Berge
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Ich schaute zu den Kindern, ich trank aus den Brunnen
But there's more than one answer to these questions
Aber es gibt mehr als eine Antwort auf diese Fragen
Pointing me in a crooked line
Die mich in eine krumme Linie weisen
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
Und je weniger ich meine Quelle für etwas Definitives suche
The closer I am to fine
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung
The closer I am to fine, yeah
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung, ja
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
Ich ging zum Doktor der Philosophie
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
Mit einem Poster von Rasputin und einem Bart bis zu seinem Knie
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
Er hat nie geheiratet oder einen B-Film gesehen
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
Er bewertete meine Leistung, er sagte, er könnte durch mich hindurchsehen
And I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Und ich verbrachte vier Jahre prostrat dem höheren Verstand
Got my paper and I was free
Ich bekam mein Papier und ich war frei
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
Ich ging zum Arzt, ich ging in die Berge
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Ich schaute zu den Kindern, ich trank aus den Brunnen
But there's more than one answer to these questions
Aber es gibt mehr als eine Antwort auf diese Fragen
Pointing me in a crooked line, yeah
Die mich in eine krumme Linie weisen, ja
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
Und je weniger ich meine Quelle für etwas Definitives suche
The closer I am to fine
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung
The closer I am to fine
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung
I stopped by the bar at 3 AM
Ich hielt um 3 Uhr morgens an der Bar an
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend
Um Trost in einer Flasche oder vielleicht einem Freund zu suchen
And I woke up with a headache like my head against the board
Und ich wachte mit einem Kopfschmerz auf, als würde mein Kopf gegen das Brett schlagen
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
Zweimal so trüb wie ich die Nacht zuvor gewesen war
I went in seeking clarity
Ich ging hinein, um Klarheit zu suchen
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
Ich ging zum Arzt, ich ging in die Berge
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
Ich schaute zu den Kindern, ich trank aus dem Brunnen
Yeah, we go to the Bible, and we go through the workout
Ja, wir gehen zur Bibel, und wir machen das Workout durch
And we read up on revival, and we stand up for the lookout
Und wir lesen über die Wiederbelebung, und wir stehen auf für den Ausguck
And there's more than one answer to these questions
Und es gibt mehr als eine Antwort auf diese Fragen
Pointing me in a crooked line
Die mich in eine krumme Linie weisen
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
Und je weniger ich meine Quelle für etwas Definitives suche
The closer I am to fine
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung
The closer I am to fine
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung
The closer I am to fine, yeah
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung, ja
The closer I am to fine (to fine)
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung (in Ordnung)
The closer I am (the closer I am)
Desto näher bin ich (desto näher bin ich)
The closer I am (the closer I am)
Desto näher bin ich (desto näher bin ich)
The closer I am to fine (to fine)
Desto näher bin ich in Ordnung (in Ordnung)
The closer I am

I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' about my life

Was to help me take my life less seriously
Foi me ajudar a levar minha vida menos a sério
'Cause it's only life after all, yeah
Porque é só vida afinal, sim
It's only life after all
É só vida afinal
Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
Bem, a escuridão tem uma fome insaciável
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
E a leveza tem um chamado difícil de ouvir
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
Eu envolvo meu medo em mim como um cobertor
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
Naveguei no meu navio de segurança até afundá-lo
I'm crawlin' on your shores
Estou rastejando em suas margens
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
Fui ao médico, fui às montanhas
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Olhei para as crianças, bebi das fontes
But there's more than one answer to these questions
Mas há mais de uma resposta para essas perguntas
Pointing me in a crooked line
Apontando-me em uma linha torta
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
E quanto menos procuro minha fonte para algo definitivo
The closer I am to fine
Mais perto estou de estar bem
The closer I am to fine, yeah
Mais perto estou de estar bem, sim
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
Fui ver o doutor em filosofia
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee

Ele nunca se casou ou viu um filme de segunda categoria
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me

E acordei com uma dor de cabeça como minha cabeça contra a tábua
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
Duas vezes mais nublado do que eu tinha sido na noite anterior
I went in seeking clarity
Fui em busca de clareza
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
