Well I can't give you everything you want
But I could give you what you thought you need
A map to keep beneath your seat
You'll read to me in time I'll get you there
But fold it up so we don't find
Our way back soon nobody knows we're here
We can park the van and walk to town
Find the cheapest bottle of wine that we could find
And talk about the road behind
How getting lost is not a waste of time
Le Bois d' amour will take us home
In the moment we will sing as the forest sings
It's all for the sake of arriving with you
Well I will make the table into a bed
The candle is burning down it's time to rest
I can't take back things already gone
But I could give you promises for keeps
And I would only take them back
If they become your own and you give them to me
And it's all for the sake of arriving with you
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you
We could make this into anything
We could make this into more than words we speak
This could make us into anything
It could make us grow and become what we'll be
How will we really know?
It's just like it feels
But I could give you what you thought you need
A map to keep beneath your seat
You'll read to me in time I'll get you there
But fold it up so we don't find
Our way back soon nobody knows we're here
We can park the van and walk to town
Find the cheapest bottle of wine that we could find
And talk about the road behind
How getting lost is not a waste of time
Le Bois d' amour will take us home
In the moment we will sing as the forest sings
It's all for the sake of arriving with you
Well I will make the table into a bed
The candle is burning down it's time to rest
I can't take back things already gone
But I could give you promises for keeps
And I would only take them back
If they become your own and you give them to me
And it's all for the sake of arriving with you
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you
We could make this into anything
We could make this into more than words we speak
This could make us into anything
It could make us grow and become what we'll be
How will we really know?
It's just like it feels

A man wants to stay in the moment with a woman, and not worry about the past or the future.
He wants the relationship to be relaxed and take its time, go with the flow. Although they don't have much together right now, he thinks that the relationship could become anything they want it to be - that it has the potential to be something amazing.
This something amazing would involve supporting, inspiring, and helping each other grow deeply.
He's wants just to "arrive" with her... to be present with her in the moment, especially those moments where they both grow and change each other and seem to simultaneously arrive at more enlightened state of mind... Maybe he even wants to arrive, simultaneously, at the moment in which they both realize they love each other.
How will they know if they love each other? "It's just how it feels."
this is about how he just wants a romantic date with the girl and discuss their lives over a bottle of wine. they want to talk about the road behind them - saying how nothing in their past was a waste of time but just a path to where they are now.
Everything they have done in the past is worth it because the end is them together - its all for the sake of arriving with you. he can give promises and the only way they could be broken is if she wants them to be. It is all a journey through europe which symbolizes their whole relationship. in the end love conquers all....
"And talk about the road behind
How getting lost is not a waste of time"
When you're w/ the one, getting lost is half the fun. No time is ever wasted cause you realize that's all there really is to do in life...waste time w/ your loved one that is.
"How will we really know?
It's just like it feels
How does it feel?"
How does love feel...true soulful love...it feels how its really supposed to feel...but does anyone really know how that feels? Jack does...hes says it..."it's just like it feels". You dont question true love...you just know.
lovely song
Le Bois d' amour is a camping site in Europe that’s is beautiful…Ive been there….He says it will take them home because it has nice beaches and waves just like Hawaii…but not as nice…Getting lost is not a waste of time because they would’ve never found that place…then they will stay there away from everything else as the forest around the sleeps.
Then he makes a bed as they spontaneously just bask in the beauty of this place…then he tells her he cant change the past, but he promises things to come..then he goes on talking about how they could make their lives into anything as their lives will take them to bigger and better places….then came the children…lol
It’s a very simple song about a turning point in their lives.
"in the moment we will sing as the forest SLEEPS"
i have the booklet, and i don't know where you're getting "sings" from.
The map serves as an indication that the relationship can go in a direction (a direction chosen by the female)
"Home" is where the heart is. The forest represents the environment. It sleeps because the forest becomes less important to their relationship.
I don't think there's any history, but there's plenty of growth in the future ("the road ahead").
The relationship can grow into anything.
He ends it with the question of How one really knows if this relationship is "the one" or the "perfect love." But he replies to his own answer and says its what is feels like and therefore nothing more or less.
I can't take back things already gone
But I could give you promises for keeps
And I would only take them back
If they become your own and you give them to me
I feel like its his attempt to tell her that the future can be whatever they want to make of it and he'd like to try since when it comes down to it, they still have feelings....so instead of being cautious because of what happened before they should try to feel how it is now and move forward.
I dunno, just a thought....
It's all really romantisiced and ideallised which is what makes it, along with the guitar, very dreamy and relaxing. It is like the beginning stages of a crush (for lack of a better word),where everything just seems perfect.
