Okkervil River - Wake and Be Fine lyrics
[Okkervil River - Wake and Be Fine lyrics]
Someone said to me
"I'll come into your dream
And speak it to you" I already knew
I found her in an attic where, dramatically
She leaned in to me
And she whispered these lines
"Wake and be fine
You've still got time to wake and be fine"
Embracers meet with more embracers
On the street
Say, "Hold me, dear stranger grab on to me
We're carrying our years around us
Or they're chasing down us
We're all here at the same time
Can we wake and be fine?
We've still got time to wake and be fine
Villains on the creep and
Killers in the crowd
Are carving apart our childhood house
Lovers in their sheets
Dreaming lovers sweetly
Turn in their sleep all under sunbeams
Everybody's crashing, running
Calling out the coming
Of things they kind of can see
Someone said to me, "It's just a dream
Why don't you wake up and
You'll see? It's fine"
In those miles racing over
Endless fields of snow
You already heard, you already know
The rescue party finally lost their hearts
And then they shattered their bones
And then they died all alone
The ships all float from
Beaches by themselves
Above the hot afternoons
(Goodbye, you balloons)
Adrift above indifferent clouds our
Hearts are crashing loudly
On some rock where the gulls whine
"Wake and be fine"
We've still got time to wake and be fine, oh
Be fine be fine
Be fine be fine
"I'll come into your dream
And speak it to you" I already knew
I found her in an attic where, dramatically
She leaned in to me
And she whispered these lines
"Wake and be fine
You've still got time to wake and be fine"
Embracers meet with more embracers
On the street
Say, "Hold me, dear stranger grab on to me
We're carrying our years around us
Or they're chasing down us
We're all here at the same time
Can we wake and be fine?
We've still got time to wake and be fine
Villains on the creep and
Killers in the crowd
Are carving apart our childhood house
Lovers in their sheets
Dreaming lovers sweetly
Turn in their sleep all under sunbeams
Everybody's crashing, running
Calling out the coming
Of things they kind of can see
Someone said to me, "It's just a dream
Why don't you wake up and
You'll see? It's fine"
In those miles racing over
Endless fields of snow
You already heard, you already know
The rescue party finally lost their hearts
And then they shattered their bones
And then they died all alone
The ships all float from
Beaches by themselves
Above the hot afternoons
(Goodbye, you balloons)
Adrift above indifferent clouds our
Hearts are crashing loudly
On some rock where the gulls whine
"Wake and be fine"
We've still got time to wake and be fine, oh
Be fine be fine
Be fine be fine
