音乐咖啡厅:Frank Turner - The Way I Tend To Be

在音乐这条大道上经过长时间的不懈努力，Frank Turner这张混合着布鲁斯摇滚、民谣摇滚的第三张个人专辑终于展示在我们面前，作为英国已经解散的一支并未拥有太多名声的后硬核乐队Million Dead的主唱，Frank Turner所发行过的三张个人专辑，已经明确地昭示着他已经由早期的生猛渐渐转变为如今的厚重平静。

歌词：

Song：The Way I Tend To Be
Artist：Frank Turner

Some mornings I pray for evening,
For the day to be done.
Some summer days I hide away
And wait for rain to come.
Cause it turns out hell will not be found
Within the fires below,
But in making do and muddling¹ through
When you've nowhere else to go.

But then I remember you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remembered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
The way I tend to be.

Some days I wake up dazed my dear,
And don't know where I am.
I've been running now so long I'm scared
I've forgotten how to stand.
And I stand alone in airport bars
And gather thoughts to think:
That if all I had was one long road
It could drive a man to drink.

But then I remember you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remembered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
The way I tend to be.

Cause I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth.
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out.
You stood apart in my calloused² heart, and you taught me and here's what I learned:
That love is about all the changes you make and not just three small words.

And then I catch myself
Catching³ your scent⁴ on someone else
In a crowded space
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place.

And then I remember you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remembered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
The way I tend to be.
The way I tend to be.
The way I tend to be.
