Spoon - I Didn't Come Here to Die lyrics

All you see is the weight hung 'round my neck
It's in the message you left:
I love you to death
I need to get some leg and go shine my shoes
I didn't come here to die
Hoping everything's alright
Hope everything is alright alright

As I drive off into the night alone
I can feel it all rush back
Half afraid that I'll turn back
And when you grow up here
It can feel like there's no place else
It takes so long to get anywhere at all
'Cause it just goes on and

Forget that empty stomach, that broken heart
And just leave here tonight
And hope it's alright but all you see is the
Weight hung 'round my neck
I didn't come here today to pull any weight
No, not to pull any weight alright

As I drive off into the sky alone
I can feel it all rush back
But this kid ain't coming back
And I been living in the sticks
Here for so long now
So come on, come on, I said
I know everything was said
I know everything you said
