​​alt-J - Last Year lyrics

January came and took my heart away
February felt the same
March, my hugs became hold ons
April, I huffed like porridge on the boil
Morning May, I'm downwind from your shampoo
Ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu
Jyuu
June, I learned to count to ten in Japanese
Dry July, like wiping skin from my skull
Instead, I visit family
They told me I'm special hmm
Augustus came and stabilised me
With my father's pain
Relieving drug, diazepam life floats away
October, I swam back for my birthday
Firework display in a cafeteria
Of my old school
Happier my coal-black sleep in my cold
Deep bed december, you sang at my funeral

If it's depths to your rivers
I've picked one for you
Oh, greedy with Ss but equalled by Is
If it's stones for your pockets
I've collected a few to hold you down
To hold you down

Mississippi, come back to me
Oh, Mississippi, your coal-black sleep
Oh, Mississippi

Mississippi, come back to me
Oh, Mississippi from your cold black sleep
Oh, Mississippi
