"Walk Off" lyrics
"Walk Off"
Every house on the street will get on their feet
Carry the sleepers out into the weather
From the violet cities
The violet cities
They'll turn on their lights and open their eyes
Drop to their knees and they'll drink from the river
In the violet cities
The violet cities
On and on, they'll lead us on and
On and on, they'll lead us on
We'll all get high and walk off
Into the country, ridiculous country
Where the blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
The blue sky will smother us
They'll open their doors and they'll sing to the sun
We don't know anymore how to glitter, we come
From the violet cities
The violet cities
If we stand there and stare and everyone's calm
They may never find out that we came here at all
From the violet cities
The violet cities
On and on, they'll lead us on and
On and on, they'll lead us on
We'll all get high and walk off
Into the country, ridiculous country
Where the blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
The blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me

Wilco - "Either Way" Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won't feel so afraid
I will try to understand
Either way
Maybe you still love me
Maybe you don't
Either you will or you won't...
Grizzly Bear - "Yet Again" Yet again we're the only ones
No surprise this is often how it's done
Lately it's about all I can take
I will move and mend and mold this break
Shell with another crack
I'm small but I can keep...
Fleet Foxes - "Your Protector" She left a week to roam
Your protector's coming home
Keep your secrets with you, girl
Safe from the outside world
You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming...
Future Islands - "Where I Found You" I remember your smile,
the smell of your skin,
the way that you walked,
and laughed.
I remember our room,
and coming home to you,
I remember our home,
and you.
Look back, hold on to the last....
