Best Laid Plans
Unraveling Intentions: Best Laid Plans by James Blunt
Lyrics
You don't like it in the shadows
You prefer not to be in the background or hidden.
You won't let me shine the light
You resist or prevent me from helping or supporting you.
I would wash away your troubles
I want to alleviate your problems or troubles.
But it seems
However, it appears
The more that I hold on
The more I try to maintain a connection or bond,
The more that you let go
The more you distance yourself or let go.
And I know, you better let somebody love you
I understand that you should allow someone to care for you,
Or find yourself, on your own
Or else you might end up alone.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
Explain why carefully made plans
Fall apart in your hands
Always fall apart when you're involved or in control.
And my good intentions never end,
My genuine intentions
The way I meant
Never result in the way I intended or hoped.
If we don't talk about the future
If we avoid discussing what lies ahead,
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Should I simply follow you even into uncertain or difficult situations?
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cool
Is your silence a way to stay composed or detached
While the cracks form on my heart
While my emotions or inner struggles become more pronounced or evident.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
Explain why meticulously crafted plans
Fall apart in your hands
Always fall apart when you're involved or in control.
And my good intentions never end,
My genuine intentions
The way I meant
Never result in the way I intended or hoped.
It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It appears that some close friends have seen you ignore them or turn away.
It seems you only want the things that you can't have.
It seems you desire what's unattainable or unavailable to you.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
Explain why carefully made plans
Fall apart in your hands
Always disintegrate or fail when you're involved or in control.
And my good intentions never end,
My genuine intentions
The way I meant
Never result in the way I intended or hoped.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
Explain why meticulously crafted plans
Fall apart in your hands
Always fall apart when you're involved or in control.
And my good intentions never end,
My genuine intentions
The way I meant
Never result in the way I intended or hoped.
