Bon Iver - Day One Lyrics



Bon Iver - Day One Lyrics
Official




Been a long while now coming up
Thought we were past it, thought we'd patched it up
Thought the title had passed hands
Thought we'd had enough
But the sun's gonna go ahead and tag right up
We don't understand what we're standing on
And we sure come in blind
With our timing
So I've culled what I can't tame
I have taken all that I can take
And it got bad enough
I thought that I would leave
Well, I wish you could take that right off
All that shit that rips you right up
And you'd know that we'd been taught all this from day one
From day one
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo (hmm)
Same old town and you're passing through
Signs of live and die for you
There's a million ways you're falling through
The cost of your mind
Some may say that you lack the stuff
And you burn it down and clack your cuffs
But you may have to toughen up
While unlearning that lie
I'll go find the tap wire
I'll go put the pathfinder on waltz
Well, can I get a rewind?
Just this once, if you don't mind
I don't know who I am without ya
'Cause I feel a wild one now comin' on
I told you to be patient, I swore that I was wrong
So why can't we both just now get to understand?
From day one
All this was dry land
Yes, you have just always had your band
But you get sad enough because it's all you seek
(Oh, hop on, it'll all be gone) You don't have to take so very long
And you can't have it for a song
And that's why I have rattled on
From day one
From day one
(Yeah-eah)
(Oh yeah)
(Wahoo)
