La Dispute - You and I in Unison lyrics
[La Dispute - You and I in Unison lyrics]
What will I find? Some sacred thing to help
Me handle the tragedy?
Or did I once-Did I have it and lose it?
No one should ever have to
Walk through the fire alone
No one should ever have to
Brave that storm no
Everybody needs someone or something
And when I sing, don’t I sing your name out
Right at the same time that I sing my own?
Some days I swear I can feel you
Splitting the light through the window frame
The shapes it makes are always warmer
Always brighter than the rest
Of what comes through
Some days I swear I can hear you sing to
Me or whisper my name in the slightest way
It’s like the warmest light now
Laid across my bedroom
Floor is somehow actually you
And not just sunlight
I have the memory climb down the balcony
I put a flower on the back of it's dress
It’s probably best to forget it
It’s probably best to let go
I paint it the shade of where
The skin and the lip meet
Only a moment after breaking the kiss and
I blur out everything else
That’s how I choose to remember it
Some nights are a lot like the
Days, I lay awake too late
I watch the shadows casted
Trace your shape those silver slivers on
The wall then on the bedsheets
I hear your song in the trees
I finally fall into rest
Often later when I’m sleeping you
Show up in my dreams
Just doing simple things
Like buying groceries
And when I wake up I could
Swear you must’ve just left me
Like you got up to make breakfast
Or maybe just to get dressed
But the truth is
You were never there you won’t ever be
Sometimes I think I’m not either
So what do I do
When every day still seems to
Start and end with you?
And you won’t ever know, you won’t ever see
How much your ghost since then
Has been defining me
I leave the memory up atop the balcony
I tear this flower from the back of the dress
It’s best this time, I bet
To just forget and let go
Paint it the shade of where the
Lip bleeds and blur it out
I blur out everything else
Just blur out everything else
And let go, and let go, and let go
Everybody has to let go someday
Everybody has to let go
I wonder when I will i wonder
But, if I still hear you singing
In every city I meet
After I blur it all out, our every memory, if
You never fade with the days
Your shape still haunting me then
Should I not just sing along?
Should I not just sing along?
I will sing sweetly hope that
The notes change but
I do not need it to happen
I’m not resigned to it and
If they never do I’ll sing
Your name in every line
Just like I did throughout this
Just like I’ve always done
In every gun, the empty church
And every tortured son
In all those giving up in all those giving in
Until I die I will sing our names in unison
Until I die I will sing our names in unison
Me handle the tragedy?
Or did I once-Did I have it and lose it?
No one should ever have to
Walk through the fire alone
No one should ever have to
Brave that storm no
Everybody needs someone or something
And when I sing, don’t I sing your name out
Right at the same time that I sing my own?
Some days I swear I can feel you
Splitting the light through the window frame
The shapes it makes are always warmer
Always brighter than the rest
Of what comes through
Some days I swear I can hear you sing to
Me or whisper my name in the slightest way
It’s like the warmest light now
Laid across my bedroom

And not just sunlight
