about

This song, on the other hand, I really like. Definitely trying to Leonard Cohen it up as much as possible in the lyrics, but I think I did a pretty okay job.

lyrics

every girl i’ve ever known
crossed the bedroom floor
“sweet dreams” over soft shoulders
from behind closing doors
and sad smiles kept me up for awhile pacing
berating my downcast eyes, and my silent heart’s racing

there’s a panic built into my bones, sealed in by fallen rocks
and every time a building dies, my heart ticks like a clock
don’t go, you’re so pretty
but we both know that you’re the woods and i am the city

i always wake up early with dust upon my hands
and dream again of promises, of far-off seas and sands
birds take flight when you close your eyes, darling
and you were born into a beauty like a warning
