Lyrics
I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station
when Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question
Oh is love really real and can any of us hope for redemption?
Or are we all merely biding our time down to lonely conclusions?
Darling let me take your hand as I talk you through this,
how loneliness edged into deep seated psychosis.
Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focussed on tape hiss;
with my feelings laid clear on ceiling
I don't think I can do this (x2)
I've tried so hard to not turn into my father,
but if I only ever skip out his choices, will I ever choose better?
Oh the sad truth is that the grass, it will always seem greener,
So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter.
You deserve better.
Adam Trask is on my back and in my ears.
And the sound comes clear and brings the awful truth:
I can't stand what I've done to you. It's written clear in my diary:
Today should've been our anniversary.
But I'm far away and I'm far apart, and you're back home with a broken heart,
and love is real and I can't escape:
I only ever have myself to blame.
These failures shift and shake me in the night,
like a fever I can't break, try as I might.
Wake me darling, I need you to take me home
But I know that in the end redemption is mine, and mine alone.
So if each of us is made up of a tally of mistakes and successes,
then that hour in that restaurant makes my score less than impressive,
but each can be redeemed with the courage with which he confesses.
So darling, i miss you, your music, and your musk and your kisses.
I don't think I can do this.

[@ThatLandonSmith]

I think this is the best song he's ever made.

[@lisaballico]

I agree totally. This song just has it all.

[@Kissykizzie]

"And it's written clear in my diary, today should have been our anniversary" Kills me every time. Perfect lyrics, perfect song, perfect artist.

[@paulgodfree2508]

This is why I'm here today :(

[@joedelbalzo]

how he doesn't end every gig with this song is beyond me

[@artemis5168]

This is the sound of a heart being violently torn apart.....sweet lord.

[@stevenearley5411]

I've been listening to Frank for years, and here's what I've realized: so many of us can relate to what he sings not out of coincidence, but because most of us will wind up going through it. The reason the music is so powerful(in my opinion of course) is that these are the things about ourselves that keep us up in the night, the grim realizations about ourselves that we all fear. He manages to look at these things, and create poetry from them, and that's what brings people together

[@squiddyt1]

nicely said

[@ineinerbank]

how is it there's a frank turner song for every mistake i made in life.

[@sarahrosejenkins8947]

Well said.

[@deeb888]

I think He is a time traveller...He watches us....git could have warned me!

[@thestreet9537]

Steve Perry I was gonna day the same thing

[@nilsipilsiable]

I guess He made that mistake, too

[@JordancoxTv]

If there is ever an apocalypse we need Frank to play this, it could bring even the toughest man to his knees with a hand on his heart and a tear in his eye.

[@rapidmc1521]

The perfectly written song.

[@yesackram]

Stunning. Lyrically, structrally, nothing to find wrong. Art at its finest.

[@lenmac26]

Don't understand how a guy his age understands all of this. Singing my life at 47 years- This song brings me to my knees everytime I hear it

[@marilynmcelfresh1414]

newly discovered from a found soulmate. I love his music. Sometimes a deeper meaning . I feel like they are written for me in such a poetic way. beautifully worded. The universe sometimes aligns just right putting the special people in our paths. To create a new life . the one we were meant to have all along.

[@musicislife664]

I didn't really think I liked Turner, but this is a fantastic song, and the lyrics are really powerful.

[@joemccorriston]

Oh fucking hell, this song just gives me shivers every fucking time I listen to it. This is in the top 5 greatest songs ever.

[@a6yearoldwombat]

attacking th replay button my faviroute song no matter how many times i hear it !!!!

[@meddeyc]

'These failures shift and shake me in the night, like a fever I can't break, try as I might. Wake me darling, I need you to take me home But I know that in the end redemption is mine, and mine alone.' Fuck me that's powerful.

[@wizzi0]

Adam Trask's last words were "Thou mayest."

[@andrateede7996]

Fucking great lyrics. Took one song to become a fan of the guy.

[@MeMe-gx5il]

An absolute rollercoaster. Superb

[@MartinWAMPAllen]

Seriously this song gives me chills........ and a bit of a semi.....

[@TheMMMMMM1988]

yesterday... I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station, when Frank Turner came clear in my headphones with the pertinent question...

[@Mediocresinger]

Does anyone else get a Biffy Clyro vibe in places when listening to this particular song? Bah, who cares, best album I've ever heard.

[@susierobertson2703]

That wouldn't be a bad thing!

[@giuliasartori9121]

This song is never loud enough

[@thibautnarme6402]

@Len MacGregor I think the guy has clearly an inner calling. Nobody drops the safety of an Eton+LSE education without unreasonable reasons... Then he started very early traveling and touring first with his hardcore band (and punk tours are not fancy or even comfy) and then solo. This likely led him to 1) observe the world like very few people can do and 2) reflect on it and his own emotion on the unavoidable down time of touring. Songs like Jet Lag or The Road are significant in those terms...

[@jakethomas1083]

This song means so much to me! I can relate so well!

[@kantrihai]

springsteen sings in born to run "I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real".

[@Guidemeintopain]

More beautiful than words can say.

[@marydeak6134]

Beautifully written

[@Drifter2025]

Today would have been our anniversary... FML

[@joemccorriston]

When it gets to the heavy bit at the end, I stop whatever I'm doing and start moshing.

[@keyseeker1]

sublime

[@paulvarley6872]

I totally agree with you Len

[@AkYank77]

Wow, beautiful song. Rough story he tells

[@bradarlissmusic]

Yeah, I think it's that bit when he goes to the harmony part half way through. And I agree, it's a brilliant album :)

[@ChrisLP0]

Letras I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station When the Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question Oh is love really real and do any of hope for redemption Or are we are merely biting our time down to the lonely conclusions Darling let me take your hand as I talk you through this How loneliness edged into deep seeded psychosis Lying away in crowded hotel rooms focused on takers With my feelings laid clear on the ceiling I don't think I can do this I don't think I can do this Well I tried so hard to not turn into my father But if I only ever skip out his choices will I ever choose better Oh the sad truth is the grass it will always seem greener So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter You deserved better Out of trash some might back in my ears Sound comes clear and brings the awful truth that I can't stand what I've done to you And it's written clear in my diary today should have been our anniversary But I'm far way and I'm far apart And you're back home with a broken heart And loves is real and I can escape I'll only ever have myself to blame These failures shift and save me in the night Like a fever I can't break try as I might Wake me darling I need you take me home But I know in the end redemption is mine and mine alone So if each of us is made of a tally of mistakes and successes Then the hour in the restaurant makes my score less than impressive If each can be redeemed with the courage by which he confesses So darling I miss you, your music and your musk and your kisses I don't think I can do this

[@jacobconroy2824]

l love this xxxx

[@MorellaDeville]

Bruce! Frank explains in this song that it's Springsteen who poses the question of " is love really real" and in "born to run" by Ye Olde Bruce He says "girl i want to know if love is real"

[@joshrichardson5067]

I read a lot and have told people to stop recommending me books but I am a big Frank Turner fan and fan of John Steinbeck who wrote East of Eden about the Trask family.. guess I've got another book I need to read

[@AndsGallego]

dude this was very cool i will buy that album

[@neillaitken5167]

Banger

[@marekp9500]

I have the same problem, very hard to listen to, but still amazing.

[@imogengillingham8260]

[@deeb888]

niallrichards, thats what music is about, thats whats it is for. Same here for me by the way. Stick with it, life ALWAYS gets better.

[@JefficusMaximus]

He's only recently started to gain any kind of notoriety in the US, but im finding that his popularity is rising pretty quick in. Give it another couple years at this rate and I think alot of people in the US will know his name

[@zachnorton329]

Jerf he just played an arena in my state filled with close to 9,000. I think you were right

[@JasonChikowski]

Exactly the same here.

[@JackWilliamsChannel]

I'm scared to listen to the bridge/middle 8. It just effects me far too much, like no other song out there

[@ancestralvision]

i love that fucking humanity!

[@MrSevi150]

he is a huge Springsteen fan, escpacially the Born To Run Album is still a big influence for him. But i don't know what what Song he meant, could be anyone, Springsteen wrote only good songs. But he often covered Thunder Road, so maybe ..

[@nickm.5931]

Were you… were you joking? He’s obviously referencing the song, “Born to Run” specifically. Look at the lyrics lol - one of the lyrics are “I want to know if love is wild Babe, I want to know if love is real”

[@beseeingyou6]

at his concerts!

[@rubyhorror]

only ever have myself to blame

[@MIXEDUPTHROWNTOGETHR]

i hope they will

[@XGund277]

Hey thanks for the upload. Great song. One small note on the lyrics though. I believe the line late in the song is supposed to be "but each can be redeemed by the courage with which he confesses" I remember Frank identifying that line as one of his favorites on the album, so when I read through your lyrics I thought they might be incorrect.

[@wllychng21]

@nerdlova If you haven't already seen it, search for and watch Frank Turner - 4Play. He speaks such honest and humble words, I cried when I watched it

[@asanit3876]

I fucking miss you Kylie! 😢

[@niallrichards]

OH FUCK! nearly every lyric relates to how i'm feeling at this point in my life

[@2pizza2roll2]

evaporates

[@Stew1337]

from his store

[@pimski]

East of eden :)

[@turban196]

@pimski Yes! Someone who knows :D

[@JasonChikowski]

@Jack Williams

[@Banjaxt01]

@TheMMMMMM1988 Good

[@thingthing25]

where can I buy the CD in the US?? I cant find it anywhere

[@NeilBlaiberg]

Can anyone explain the Adam Trask bit to me?

[@katiey4735]

Neil Blaiberg read east of edan..

[@Banjaxt01]

@TheMMMMMM1988 ...and what was the reached conclusion?

[@Jake-to7pz]

I was trying to google shawshank redemption

[@jammihoops]

@thingthing25 amazon, and get it shipped mate

[@ShirkHorse]

Anyone know which Springsteen song he's referring to?

[@Cragsify]

@JackWilliamsChannel You didn't miss a letter out, you used the wrong letter.

[@cbullen09]

@exonerate13 Thats not a cd, thats fluff.

[@TheMMMMMM1988]

@Banjaxt01 it's real.

[@SweetGambit]

@JackWilliamsChannel Affects,

[@JackWilliamsChannel]

@SweetGambit I'm sorry. No, I'm really, deeply sorry that I missed out one letter and made a grammatical error on KZbin. Fuck, I might as well just stop doing my A Level in English Literature right now and ditch all plans of doing a degree.

[@MIXEDUPTHROWNTOGETHR]

How is he not more popular? This is another reason I am rapidly losing faith in humanity. He is an amazing singer/songwriter with amazing songs and a wide variety of styles. But somehow jerkoffs like bieber, lil wayne, and 1d to name a few get all the attention.

[@gixxernavigator]

People seem to misunderstand this song. Unless your a selfish bastard who has cheated on his lass because thats how you where brought up to do things...you will never understand. You cant help but turn into yohr father. Fight it as much as you want...you will become him :)

[@ineinerbank]

+gixxernavigator i didnt cheat. i was afraid to stay in that relationship, so i opted for the emergency exit. 2 years later i am still in love, clinically depressed, right now drunk, and two days ago confessed my still burning love. she won't talk to me anymore, and it is entirely my doing. well, fuck.

[@stephaniemolina9477]

que asco de traduccion!!!! ass
