"Skinny Love (Country Version)" lyrics
(originally by Bon Iver)
Come on, skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My my my, my my my, my my
Starin' at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
Tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my, my my my, my my
Right in this moment, this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
And in the mornin', I'll be with you
And I need you by my side
'Cause you're holdin' all the tickets
But I'm be ownin' all the fines
Come on, skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
My my my, my my my, my my
My load is full and I'm slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
And all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
We're breakin' at the britches
Runnin' over all the lines
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My my my, my my my, my my
Starin' at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
Tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my, my my my, my my
Right in this moment, this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
And in the mornin', I'll be with you
And I need you by my side
'Cause you're holdin' all the tickets
But I'm be ownin' all the fines
Come on, skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
My my my, my my my, my my
My load is full and I'm slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
And all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
We're breakin' at the britches
Runnin' over all the lines
