Paroles : Vega (Apple Music Live)

[Intro]
So it was pouring with rain when Aaron sent me all these, um, songs
And the first lines of this song is "Rain keeps beating on the rooftop, muddying the glass / But, God, I love the sound of heaven"
And um, yeah, this is a song, another song that was written in that batch, along with "Borderline"
And along with the next two, well, the next one, at least
And uh, it's called "Vega"
The Vega is, um, the brightest star in the Lyra constellation
Which, uh, that I find quite cool
I kind of like, it's, I found it really weird writing to Aaron's music 'cause
What, what happens with, Aaron basically sends a fully formed song, еssentially, and you write over it
And usually I would bе in the studio and I would get, I would pick up a guitar and I'd go, "Right, what do we write about tonight? We do 'bad habits lead to late nights' okay, is that a good line, is it 'bad habits lead to late nights' is this-"
And you kind of go back and forth and you bounce ideas, and that's the collaborative process that I've usually done
Whereas this collaborative process is Aaron going like, "Just write what you feel"
And I found words pouring out and some of them I was like, "What does that even mean? 'It burns like hell to be Vega'"
Like what, but it was just a line that just came out of my mouth whilst writing this song
And, ya know, this song probably took as much time to write as the song itself, like it just fell out
Uh, and I can't describe it
Aaron's, Aaron's music has songs in it that you just have to
You know, you know like in Harry Potter when it's the pensive and say the bit out
I find that like, Aaron's song is Dumbledore's mind, basically
And you just, take out, but yeah
So, this is "Vega"

[Verse 1]
Rain keeps beating on the rooftop, muddying the glass
But, God, I love the sound of heaven
Sat cross-legged on the carpet
Listenin' to vinyl, trying to ignore the weather

[Pre-Chorus]
This week was heavy, I buckled under all the weight
What can you do, but pray?
And count your blessings, it wasn't any other way
Don't leave it up to fate

[Chorus]
Fighting the tide, but the waves, they will part
Light up the night, we were made to be stars
But it burns like hell to be Vega

[Verse 2]
Clouds keep forming over this house
Blocking out the sun, I'm trying to keep it all together
One door closes then one opens, gotta keep the focus
If we believe, then she'll get better

[Pre-Chorus]
The days are long, but they pass within an instant, babe
It is the strangest thing
I'll count my blessings the day I see you smile again
This war, we've got to win

[Chorus]
Keep it inside, don't let no one see your heart
No one can judge, we're the same in the dark
Fighting the tide, but the waves, they will part
Light up the night, we were made to be stars
But it burns like hell to be Vega

[Bridge]
Same problems, different options
Pain comes at a cost, but we've got this
Need respite, bleed time dry
She'll be fine, she'll be fine
Same problems, different options
Pain comes at a cost, but we've got this
Need respite, bleed time dry
She'll be fine, she'll be fine

[Outro]
Rain keeps beating on the rooftop, worrying to death
But I guess this is human nature
We are made to shine like stars, but
That don't mean it don't burn like hell to be Vega
