The National, Bon Iver - Weird Goodbyes lyrics

Memorize the bathwater, memorize the air
There'll come a time I'll wanna
Know I was here
Names on the doorframes, inches and ages
Handprints in concrete at the softest stages

I don't know why I don't try harder
I feel like throwin' towels into water

Get it down to nothin'
Everything that matters
Fever flashes, eyelashes and traffic patterns
Humidity, history, chemistry and panic
Swimsuit's in the windows
Of electric minivans
I don't know why I don't try harder
I've been goin' down some
Some strange water

Move forward now, there's nothin' to do
Can't turn around, I can't follow you
Your coat's in my car, I guess you forgot
It's crazy the things we let go of
It finally hit's me, a mile's drive
The sky is leaking, the windshield's crying
I'm feelin' sacred, my soul is stripped
Radio's painful, the words are clipped

The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
My car is creepin', I think it's dyin'
I'm pullin' over until it heals
I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields

What was I even leavin' for?
I keep goin' back and forth
I think now I'm about to see
Didn't know how sad it'd be

Memorize the bathwater, memorize the air
There'll come a time I'll wanna
Know when I was here
Names on the doorframes, inches and ages
Handprints in concrete at the softest stages

I don't know why I don't try harder
I feel like throwin' towels into water

Move forward now, there's nothin' to do
Can't turn around, I can't follow you
Your coat's in my car, I guess you forgot
It's crazy the things we let go of
It finally hit's me, a mile's drive
The sky is leaking, the windshield's crying
I'm feelin' sacred, my soul is stripped
Radio's painful, the words are clipped

The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
My car is creepin', I think it's dyin'
I'm pullin' over until it heals
I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
My car is creepin', I think it's dyin'
I'm pullin' over until it heals
I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields
