"Obituary" lyrics
"Obituary"
Writing your obituary long before your life has ended
Remembering you while you're alive instead of waiting till you're dead
And your life can only take you
Where these roads will let you go
You traveled up north to find that everything was not so right
There is nothing wrong with finding home [?], someone with the fire
And your friends will always love you
But you have to teach yourself to stay alive
We could see the world unfurl if we could learn to walk on water
We could hold hands under bridges, you would be the star
Because the cars can only take you
Where the roads will let you go
Open up your eyes while we're in bed to see that I'm still breathing
I could never bear to feel your eyes on me at night let in the air
If you're here, then I am breathing
If you're here, then I am breathing
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la

Up with so much to show for it

Beach House - "New Year" All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish every day
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
