Who Are We Fooling?

On Labor Day weekend, I will be singing in my friend's wedding.  Not only am I ecstatic that she is getting married, and that she asked me to sing in it...but she asked me to sing a couple of really gorgeous pieces!  I am most excited about this song called, "Who Are We Fooling?" by Brooke Fraser.  You should really listen to it (follow the link), it's a beautiful and haunting piece.

So we're back here again

Tiptoeing 'round the edge of the end

Wondering who will be last to admit

That we're finally over

Turned 21 on the day that we met

Terrible shoes, implausible dress

It's funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older

Better or worse

But what else can we do?

When better or worse

I am tethered to you

If it's not either of us

Tell me who are we fooling?

I learnt the art of biting my tongue

I tired of trying to guess what was wrong

Both agreed on where we should go

But not how to get there

We tried and tried to loosen the knots

Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off

But it’s these failures and faults that hold us together

Better or worse

But what else can we do?

When better or worse

I am tethered to you

If it's not either of us

Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue

Is the beautiful knot that we just can't undo

Together we're one but apart tell me

Who are we fooling?

'Cause real love is hard love

It's all we have

It's a break neck 

Train wreck

It's all we have

So we're back here again

Turning away from the edge of the end

Arm in arm

Better or worse

But what else can we do?

When better or worse

I am tethered to you

If it's not either of us

Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue

Is the beautiful knot that we just can't undo

If it's not either of us

Tell me who are we fooling?

Together we're one but apart tell me 

Who are we fooling?
