Your Past Life as a Blast - Okkervil River

The way that sunlight flits across your skirt

Makes me feel I’m from another world

To touch your face in the morning light

I hope you’re always gonna be around

The times I struggle to understand why

The ancient proverbs like Who am I?

Why am I here and What have I done?

I see the answer’s place my trust in you

Trust in you love, be with me then

That’s when I want you, that’s when I need you the most

I want us to be like Peter Pan

But dreams it seems are weightless as sand

And man’s supposedly is made of sand

It seems that man cannot survive at all

Let’s disappear love, let’s fly away

Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone

The times inside I spent screaming at you

Release me please from this mortal jail

One shrug or smile can determine my fate

I’m lost for days and have myself to blame

Something I’m giving, is yours for the taking

Something like sunlight, Love is a spotlight

Love is all sorrow, still I’ll meet you tomorrow

And look forward to see you, now I can’t live without you
