Okkervil River - Get Big lyrics
[Okkervil River - Get Big lyrics]
Once we get to the end of this song
Then it will begin again
So you said in our bed
I was watching light slip through
Blinds to find your skin
"So take your medicine and I
Won't ask where you've been
Live your lost weekend, I know
You've wanted it get big, little kid
And I can't say why each day doesn't quite
Fit the space we saved for it"
But if that space now demands that you throw
Up both your hands and call it quit's
"Take your midnight trip i know
You've dreamed of it
Walk your sunset strip, because I think
You've needed it to get big, little kid
But just remember that our love
Only got this good
Because of the younger days that
You'd like to outstrip
So drink your cup down to the dregs
And leave that club on shaking legs
With another guy, but remember: I'm not him
Take your medicine and I won't
Ask where you've been
Live your lost weekend
I know you've wanted it get big, little kid
And once we get to the end of this song
Then another will begin
Then it will begin again
So you said in our bed
I was watching light slip through
Blinds to find your skin
"So take your medicine and I
Won't ask where you've been
Live your lost weekend, I know
You've wanted it get big, little kid
And I can't say why each day doesn't quite
Fit the space we saved for it"
But if that space now demands that you throw
Up both your hands and call it quit's
"Take your midnight trip i know
You've dreamed of it
Walk your sunset strip, because I think
You've needed it to get big, little kid
But just remember that our love
Only got this good
Because of the younger days that
You'd like to outstrip
So drink your cup down to the dregs
And leave that club on shaking legs
With another guy, but remember: I'm not him
Take your medicine and I won't
Ask where you've been
Live your lost weekend
I know you've wanted it get big, little kid
And once we get to the end of this song
Then another will begin
