Closer de Travis

Hoy estoy cancionero total: dejo un segundo video de otra estupenda canción: Closer de Travis, posiblemente lo que más me ha gustado (me encanta el video y la canción) de este grupo desde las maravillosas Why does it always rain on me o Turn. ¡Disfrutadla!.

How to save a life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

La primera vez que escuché esta canción hace unos días me puse a llorar como un idiota, tiene una letra preciosa. Hay varias versiones de este videoclip, pero dejo esta con escenas de Anatomía de Grey, serie que "catapultó" a esta canción de The Fray a la fama. ¿No es francamente maravillosa?. Me quedo con el estribillo: ¿Dónde me equivoqué?. Perdí un amigo en algún lugar de la amargura, y hubiera permanecido a tu lado toda la noche. De haber sabido cómo salvar una vida... cómo salvar una vida...

Un abrazo.
