Vanessa Carlton- Heroes and Thieves

Vanessa Carlton- Heroes and Thieves

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis
I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
But still want to laugh in disappointed faces
You can't help me
Blinded by these

Heroes and Thieves at my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I've figured it out
Well darlin' it's you I'm without.

Well I'm stubborn and wrong
But at least I know it
Keep moving along until I can get through this
But maybe this song is the best I can do it
So I'm patiently waiting on these

Heroes and Thieves at my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I've figured it out
Well darlin' it's you
Darlin' it's you oh,
Darlin' it's you I'm…

Without your comforting logic
Like these days are the ones I'll miss
And I see a solitude that I can't find without you.
Ah ah, ah
La da da

Well, it seems like I'm getting closer somehow
A flicker of peace that I've finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
'Cause I do need it

Well, give me a year or two
And I'll mend my ways and see these mistakes and
When I see the truth
Well, darlin' trust me
When I can't see
I'll be coming back; I'll be coming back to you

These heroes and thieves at my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I've figured it out
Well, darlin' it's you
Darlin' it's you
Well, darling it's you I'm without
Ah, ah, ah.

Right after this song came out, I fell in love with it, and latched onto every word. I immediately went to the piano and figured it out, and it's one of the songs thathas always held personal meaning for me. It's such a genuine, "real" sort of song, and the confusing, happy, mixed emotions portrayed I really relate to. Probably my favorite Vanessa Carlton ever with "Home" as a close second.

Heroes and Thieves,

To me its a love song, where she states she doesnt know who loves her for who she really is (Heroes) OR who loves her because they Want Something From Her (Thieves), and when she finally 'figures it out' that her 'darling' is actually a 'hero', she doesnt have him anymore. thats the chorus.

The rest is about her progressing through her understanding of 'Heroes' and 'Thieves'. And i guess,she also says, when she figures all of this out she will be coming back to him .

Ίσως είναι η φωνή· ή η πνευματική συμφέροντα. Τόσο ενδέχεται να είναι μια πτυχή για την απάντηση.

@TakonekoChan The days when YouTube hadn't heard of Vevo and looked interesting rather than a raw shell.
