Save Some Loving - Erlend Øye

I just can’t really imagine you

Ever, truly enjoying yourself

Even when the sun shines slow on the avenue

You are unable to just take it all in

Without wanting to change something

Without wanting to change something

You’ve got a big task ahead of you

Not even that mountain will solve

The next small rock will already be shredding you

Another great cloud shrouding you in

Come on snap out of the funk you’re in

Snap out of the funk you’re in

Save some of your loving for loving your self

Leave more of the weight of the world for others to bear

Save some of your loving for loving yourself

Leave more of the weight of the world for others to bear

I feel it in my bones when we talk about love

It’s not in you to ever settle down

You bear your soul to any stranger passing by

But never find time to cherish your own

(your own, your own your own)

Selfless is a compliment that is hardly pretention in you

Humility embodies your every move

But the price of that charity is written in lines on your face

Circum choose out of your days

Listen to what I’ve come to say

Save some of your loving for loving your self

Leave more of the weight of the world for others to bear

Save some of your loving for loving yourself

Leave more of the pain of the world for others to bear
