Faouzia & John Legend - Minefields Lyrics

Faouzia & John Legend Lyrics

"Minefields"

Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough

Started bringing up the past
How the things you love don't last
Even though this isn't fair for both of us

Ooh
Maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are

Ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Ooh, what I risk to be close to you

Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

I didn't notice what I lost
Until all the lights were off
And not knowing what you're up to tortured me

Now this might be a mistake
We're broken in so many ways
But I piece us back together slowly

Ooh
Maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are

Ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Whoa, what I risk to be close to you

Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (To be close to you)
Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (To you, to you)

Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough

Faouzia told about this song in an article by Broadway World in November 2020, "'Minefields' examines what we, as humans, are willing to do to reunite with a loved one – whoever it may be. It poses the question, during times of desperation or despair, what risks are we willing to take, driven by the power of love? This is especially poignant during these trying times."

"Working with John on this record was an absolute dream come true," said Faouzia about working with John Legend on this track, "I've looked up to him since I was a child – he's truly a generational voice and an icon. I was honoured that he wanted to join me on this and truly can't imagine the song without him."
