Sha'anan Streett - שאנן סטריט - January lyrics

[Verse 1] I think i've been feeling some change in my life Like more optimistic maybe, or more alive Could be 'cause we finally moved to the new place Or 'cause I got this job offer that might earn me a raise Yeah i'm almost sure something in me is more sound The other day I even found parking downtown And there was no traffic on the way home for quite a while And some chick at the bar told me that I have a nice smile It was B's birthday last week we saw the new Woody Allen It was about the importance of luck in our lives I liked it, believed it, didn't mind the british accent Could relate to the thin line between morals and lies After the film we started talking about cinema and music Similarities between the two Minutes later B and I we were discussing the future Which is something that since you pa**ed- we almost don't do [Chorus X2] Your absence from my life It hurts me it burns me From the inside it stings But in all honesty I must admit that Sometimes i live other things [Verse 2] I lost my voice before a show last week and got stressed out Started thinking that this hoarseness is really about My profession - that it's my body saying cut it out already Grow up already quit this bullsh** find something steady Something less nerve racking and more secure Something that stays in one place and doesn't tour B's pregnant now she'd love it if I'd work fewer hours If we'd have some time that was actually ours I went on dwelling getting more and more tense Then in the midst of my anxiety I felt immense relief Smiled to myself in disbelief Because the fact that I still have to tackle this type of grief Means at least one thing in my soul is still steady That reflection alone helped my worries seem petty Made my body less sweaty When it was time to perform- well I felt almost ready [Chorus X2] Your absence from my life It hurts me it burns me From the inside it stings But in all honesty I hope it's ok that Sometimes I live other things [Verse 3] I had this horrible dream last night in which I approached from a distance At first you looked just like you did before the cancer did this But when i got closer i noticed you were full of needle marks And in your left palm you tried to conceal something dark When i asked you to you showed me it was a pair of pliers "I can't help it!" you cried, "it's burning me! it's burning me like fire! And this twisting of my skin is the only way to ease my pain!" I wanted to say something, do something- but I knew it was in vein [Chorus X2] Your absence from my life It hurts me it burns me From the inside it's stinging And just when I think i have it under control Like a church bell from hell it starts ringing
