Lyrics Eleanor Friedberger

Eleanor Friedberger

Early Earthquake

It was an early earthquake

And my heart's trembling just for you

It was an early earthquake

And my heart's trembling just for you

And when the walls came crumbling, crumbling down

When the walls came crumbling, crumbling down

I was waiting right here for you

To see you in my door and hear you say

"You're a sight for sore eyes"

It's better than any song

Better than Xs and Os in the subject line

I polish my boots 'til they glow and they shine

And they can see your face

The lines around your eyes

Why you can't keep to any one place

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh

I wanna rewind, it's not the same as regret

I'm gonna do it again

And though your reputation precedes you

I still spend all of my time

Thinking of ways to say the same old thing

I want you to want me

And I never bring (ooh, ooh ooh)

This anticipation to an end

Oh I can hardly sleep

My mind is racing, it's racing, ooh, ooh ooh

It was an early earthquake

And my heart's trembling just for you

It was an early earthquake

And my heart's trembling just for you

And when the walls came crumbling, crumbling down

When the walls came crumbling, crumbling down

You know I was waiting right here for you
