Fleet Foxes - For A Week Or Two Lyrics

Fleet Foxes Lyrics

"For A Week Or Two"

Some lost coast
Some bright days
No face on your young head
Piece of wheat
In your teeth
Carrying water, pears, and bread

And you're close to some surrender
You can feel it at your feet
And later on remember
When the fever broke and you could eat

And you've brought enough to last another week or two
Know the door is open know that I miss

You sought land
Overgrown
No words, no false, no true
Water stands
Waves just pass through it
Like something moves through you

Robin Pecknold told EW.com about "For A Week Or Two", "A lot of songs in the first half of the album were turning out pretty deeply arranged with a lot of instruments on them, so I thought it would be cool to have a minimalist breath at this point in the record. It's like a hymn with classic melodic chord structure with a really simple drum throughout."

"That's really about a bunch of long backpacking trips that I was taking for a while. And just the feeling that you have when you're doing that, of not being anyone and just being this body in space and never catching your reflection in anything. Carrying very little, and finding some peace in that," told Robin Pecknold to Apple Music about this song.
