Love It Or Leave It

Asaf Avidan · Different Pulses [2012]

Long are the days

When you're turning away

From the reasons you strung

Long is the way

When you're aching to say

But your teeth bite your tongue



Loud is the wind

In your ears when you spin

As you look for the sun

Loud are the skies

As you thunder your cries

When your prayers are sung



Hard is the floor

As the waves pound the shore

Of your wounds

Roll up your sleeve

It's hard to believe

But it's you



Love it or leave it

Love it or leave it

Love it or leave it

Love it or leave it

You got to believe it



My Oh My, It hurts sometimes

Oh My Oh My, It hurts sometimes

I think I'm running out of time

Before I'm gonna lose my mind



Slow is the night

When you reach for the light

But the dark lingers on

Slow is the bite

Of the words that you write

When it's finally dawn



How can you swim

When the waters are streaming

In you

Roll up your sleeve

Now love it or leave it

It's you



Love it or leave it

Love it or leave it

Love it or leave it

Love it or leave it

You got to believe it



My Oh My, It hurts sometimes

Oh My Oh My, It hurts sometimes

I think I'm running out of time

Before I'm gonna lose my mind
