The Avett Brothers - Die Then Grow lyrics
[The Avett Brothers - Die Then Grow lyrics]
Can you say your name to me
Put mine after yours?
Can we build a house of
Glass without windows or doors?
Will you learn to love yourself the
Way I know you should?
Will we find the courage there
To call our friendship good?
Call it good, call it good
The world is closing in on me
I think it's time I go
And with your sad young eyes you've
Taught me things I didn't know
And my heart broke down to powder there
And I wish I'd let it show
And I listened as you said to
Me you'd rather die than grow
Die than grow, die than grow
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Don't let romance and beating hearts change
What we came to do
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
So I watched as those who ask for love
Demanding some respect
Became the last in line to have
What they come to expect
As what nobody taught them that
They so rightly deserve
And the hums of their misfortune peaked
The hardest lesson learned
Leasson learned, lesson learned
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Don't let romance and beating hearts change
What we came to do
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
To watch us fall is why they came
And fall we did, to the call of the highway
Don't go home, don't look ahead
Don't look behind everything we were is dead
Then a well of hope and talent sprang
And I caught a glimpse of light
And I drank from there as the colors
Rang out loudly from your eyes
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Don't let romance or beating hearts change
What we came to do
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Die then grow die then grow
Die then grow die then grow
Put mine after yours?
Can we build a house of
Glass without windows or doors?
Will you learn to love yourself the
Way I know you should?
Will we find the courage there
To call our friendship good?
Call it good, call it good
The world is closing in on me
I think it's time I go
And with your sad young eyes you've
Taught me things I didn't know
And my heart broke down to powder there
And I wish I'd let it show
And I listened as you said to
Me you'd rather die than grow
Die than grow, die than grow
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Don't let romance and beating hearts change
What we came to do
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
So I watched as those who ask for love
Demanding some respect
Became the last in line to have
What they come to expect
As what nobody taught them that
They so rightly deserve
And the hums of their misfortune peaked
The hardest lesson learned
Leasson learned, lesson learned
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Don't let romance and beating hearts change
What we came to do
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
To watch us fall is why they came
And fall we did, to the call of the highway
Don't go home, don't look ahead
Don't look behind everything we were is dead
Then a well of hope and talent sprang
And I caught a glimpse of light
And I drank from there as the colors
Rang out loudly from your eyes
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Don't let romance or beating hearts change
What we came to do
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you
Die then grow die then grow
Die then grow die then grow
