Car Seat Headrest - There Must Be More Than Blood lyrics

I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw
Saw, I saw saw, I saw you, I saw you

On the magazine cover, with your
Blue-white eyes read it from cover to cover
Looking for you
But these are not my people here
I think you know that
Nervous like a wild dog
Waiting for the attack

I was living in the delta
And wasting most of my time
You know if I could close the blinds right
I could sleep all through the night
But, I've seen the tides are rising
Where once there was a shore
I can still remember houses
Stripped to the floor

There must be more than blood
That holds us together
There must be more than wind
That takes us away
There must be more than tears
When they pull back the curtain
Of this much I am certain

When you're down for a while
Trying to get dried out
You feel the time pass by
But you don't look around
When you're out for a while
Trying to get dried out
You feel the time pass by
But you don't look around
You were playing your music but
You got drowned out
You go back to the old house
But you've been locked out
And it wasn't for love that
You went back home
It was the guilt in your throat
Like you swallowed a bone
They had all of your life to get it right
They had all of that time
Just to change their minds
And you're grateful for the bus
It's a place to sit down
Like a spider in the winter
Trying not to be found
No use trying to heal when
You're getting stepped on
No use selling your soul when
You're getting passed on

How could they treat you
Like a forgotten card?
"Dear dad", "I'm sorry"
"Thank you very much"
What difference does it make when
They throw you away?
Is anybody ever gonna hear what
You had to say?

I was flying on a red-eye
My hand dropped to the aisle
I could see myself clearly
For the first time in a while
There was nothing but lines
Nothing but outlines
My gut sank like a stone
But, I heard another voice say
"We all walk alone"

There must be more than blood
That holds us together
There must be more than wind
That takes us away
There must be more than tears
When they pull back the curtain
There must be more than fear
Oh, there must be more than blood
That holds us together
There must be more than wind
That takes us away
There must be more than tears
When they pull back the curtain
There must be more, there must be more
There must be more

There must be more, there must be more
There must be
Must be more, there must be more
There must be
There must be more, there must be more
There must be
