Sharon Van Etten

You, when you listen
 In a color of sorrow
 You're over me
 You, with eyes through me
 Leaning torwards, but not giving in wholly
 You, you're somethi...

It was a close call
Sitting in the back of the room
with a bowl you had owned
and they didn't know
Closing on my black eye
I feel safe at times
Certai...

Everyone think I'm a liar
Wading on the edge of fire with you
In the hour of questions I wonder who-
Who?
Why do they want? Who are we all?
What do we...

Chained
to the wall of our room
Yeah you chained me like a dog in our room
I thought that's how it was
I thought that we were fine
Then the day was ni...

Ooh,ooh
 Please don't take me lightly

 Around you

Around you and all you are

Even when Im joking

I knew a boy
who wore an old hat
he worked at the paper
he drove an old Chrysler
he liked to sing
a song in the morning
and after work he'd sing
a son...

It's understood
You'll be a man by the time I see you
We've been through better days
And you've tasted all my pain
Break my legs so I won't walk to yo...

You say I am genuine
I see your backhand again
I'm a sinner, I have sinned
We're a half mast flag in wind
It's our love

At the bottom of a well

You read the answers by the shadows on the wall
We could be great
Drive myself crazy with mistakes
You know I'm better everyday
Tell me there's someth...

Pace mine for for you
Hold my horses, patient
Hey man, tricks can't wait to hear my emotions
Every time the sun comes up, I'm in trouble
Every time th...

Hit the ground
The yard
I found something
I could taste your mouth
Shut the door
Now in the sun tanning
You were so just
Looking across the sky

Give Out -Sharon Van Etten
There were your eyes
In the dark of the room
The only ones shining
The only set I have met in years
It's not because I alwa...

"Hey, you're the comeback kid."
(See me look away.)
I'm the runaway
I'm the stay out late
I'm recovering
I was somewhat like him
I was somebody

Yes, there were jerks recalling the years of lost past
The resistance to feeling's something that you've put down before
But keep quiet if it has, you...

Sour lemon eyes
Staring down the daylight
And the LA River makes you laugh
You say: "why's a gutter got a name like that?"
You're toweling up your wet...

Sister don't mind that I'm not on time
She knows that I'm through with that
Sick of trying, don't let mind
Mama still love and daddy still love

One, two, three
Will the marker stain the skin?
Stole the dress I saw you in
Now nothing comes to mind
Saw a life as override
One more session overdri...

You were alive
And you were unafraid
Of how much the world could take from you
So how did you lose your way?
And what can you tell me now?
How are you...

Cross the lines, you don't know who's lookin'
 Up ahead, another one who's bookin'

 Wanna stay but I don't want ...

Building statues in the park
Mosaic faces swaying in the rain
Recalling memories of loss
Where I'm touched and unscathed
Is this really a mystery life...

When I look around
 The state of affairs
 When you pull my feet up there
 I read your palm lines and ask if we are going to make it
 When you said und...

Do you feel me coming home?
Will you see me coming home?
When I'm feeling all alone
Do you want to be at home?
Will I ask myself
To be someone else?

I want you here
At the edge of the ocean
And I want you here
In the high desert
And I want you here
And I want you here
At the edge of the earth
And I...

Everyone on the idiot box
Come on outside, let me hear those thoughts
Call me out with the blue light eyes
Nervous, tired, desensitized
Let it go
