The New Pornographers - You Won't Need Those Where You're Going lyrics

My love, she jumped from the top of her game
A  lover's leap, never went there again
Said  "You're free to look back
But I'll keep going
You know we built this thing
On the not knowing"

We're raw footage, still unedited
It's  awkward, rough and repetitive
But  it could win awards when
And if it's shown
But, you won't need those where you're going

My  love, she climbed on the roof of the car
Said "It will be my stage
If it's not gonna start"
Tossed the keys as the thing started rolling
Said "You won't need those
Where you're going"

Took  some found footage from
An unfinished man
Made a narrative leap through
Some sleight of hand
There will be buzz and heat
When and if it's shown
But, you won't need those where you're going
We won't need those where we're going
You won't need those where you're going
