Wye Oak - Obituary lyrics

Writing your obituary long before
Your life has ended
Remembering you while you're alive instead
Of waiting till you're dead
And your life can only take you
Where these roads will let you go

You traveled up north to find that
Everything was not so right
There is nothing wrong with wanting
Some with the fire
And your friends will always love you
But, you have to teach yourself to stay alive

We could see the world unfurl if we
Could learn to walk on water
We could hold hands under bridges
You would be the star
Because the cars can only take you
Where the roads will let you go
Open up your eyes while we're in bed
To see that I'm still breathing
I could never bear to feel your eyes on
Me at night let in the air
If you're here, then I am breathing
If you're here, then I am breathing

La la la, la la la la la la, la la la
