Small Defeats 가사

Hey joe, I heard you lost your job on monday I met you in the park to clear your mind And we sat there like two airplanes on a runway With heavy shoes and a longing for the sky And like a tragic book I read the look Emblazoned on your face How clocks just tick in circles How the years just go to waste The minor beats, the small defeats of life And the dry season’s coming, oh it’s coming What you need, what you need’s an open mind All this time I’ve been thinking, yeah just thinking In defeat we truly come alive And I’m alive I sat across from lovers on the subway They shared a smile and shared their headphones too And I couldn’t help but think they’d break up one day And I couldn’t help but hope that day was soon Because love’s a rope to hang your hopes Like some almighty weight It’s a childhood home, a wisdom bone A bond that’s bound to break A minor beat, a small defeat of life And the dry season’s coming, oh it’s coming What you need, is to keep your options wide All this time I’ve been thinking, just thinking In defeat we truly come alive And I’m alive The minor beats, the small defeats of life
