Okkervil River – It Ends With A Fall Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 16 Second

Wish I could remember why it mattered to me
It doesnt matter to me
It doesnt matter to me any more
Now that youre feeling fine
Ill admit that – though I know its coming down
And see it shattering me – it doesnt matter to me
And Im not sadder for seeing it come
Im not going to run
I will just come when I am called
You want to cut me off
Because I took too much
But dont leave me alone
Take off your scarves, your winter coat
The nights too cold

When we met I should have said
Youre like a sister to me
How all that kiss her just seem
Like puny suitors I can see through
And none will do, not for you
It might as well be just us two
But when I pulled you by the jacket
From the clattering street
You started flattering me
You started saying I was so strong
String me along, but I cant become all that Im called
And I cant claim to know
What makes love die or grow
But I can still take control
And so refuse to just go home
Back down the hall

And as I crawl
As finally all the false confetti blooms up in this attic room
Im going make my stand
I want to see both of your hands
Put down the phone
I wont let you go
Although the moment stole my self-control
From us all and it can only end, end with a fall
