Lyrics Eleanor Friedberger

Eleanor Friedberger

Echo or Encore

I want you all around me

Envelop me in sound

Smother me, pummel me

Cover me, humble me

The silence with noise

With a song in your voice

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I tried to crawl inside you

Where every whisper is deaf

Inside your echo chamber

Surrender to the breath

Wrap yourself around me

Play me just one more

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

The rain was drumming on the band's red roof

And as the shepherd sang

The skylight got battered

Above us as proof

When I sang the shepherd's song

And the rain still didn't stop

It only keeps us guessing

Mussing, messing, fussing 'til you drop

And you go, you're a ghost

And everything I sing here is set in stone

And you go, and you go

And everything you say here is set in stone

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore

I adore you as before

Your echo or your encore
