Arcade Fire - You Tried to Turn Away My Fears lyrics

You tried to turn away my fears
Shouting metaphysics in my fifteen
Year old ears
I dreamed all day of sneaking out the window
A sigh for every other breath
When you are joyful I feel better
You'll catch a cold that lasts forever

A classroom, we are hiding in the shadows
Beneath blue blazers and the
Smell of old books
Your eyes are blue, your voice is deep
In half a verse you sung my whole
Whole world to sleep
And in a classroom underground
I am still achin' for that old still sound

And we know the patience is
The most important part
What's the point of being patient
For a broken heart?
I wish I was as passive as
A patient on a table
It seems to me you too will die
As soon as you are able
