Vampire Weekend - Everlasting Arms lyrics

[Vampire Weekend - Everlasting Arms lyrics]

I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, lead me to myself

Oh, I was made to live without you
But, I’m never gonna understand
Never understand
Oh, I was born to live without you
But, I’m never gonna understand
Never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear
Trapped beneath a chandelier
That’s going down

I thought it over and drew the curtain
Lead me to my cell, lead me to my cell
I hummed the Dies Irae as
You played the Hallelujah
Lead me to my cell, don't leave me in my cell

If you’d been made to serve a master
You'd be frightened by the open hand
Frightened by the hand
Could I have been made to serve a master?
Well, I’m never gonna understand
Never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear
Trapped beneath the chandelier
That’s going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear
Trapped beneath the chandelier
That’s going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
