Lyrics Justin Vernon

Justin Vernon

Pier 39

You talk about affinity

You talk about you telling me

Your habitat

The harbor lights they follow me

They're tearing at our company

Can't you see?

I'm cold like a carving

Cold like a wind

Bold, gentle, stubborn

Your rolling waves

I'm baffled by your symmetry

Underneath the budded tree

Waiting on your game

To send you to some other joy

I'll pick you up and write you notes

Fancy meeting you here

Cause you're old like the street names

Feels old like our card games

Tired as home and morning pains

I tie you up with me

You will somehow make me learn

That what is it inside me that

burns

A carnival inside this mind

Just a divert roadside sign

Directing you along the way

Feels old like your pages

I'm feeling born like your babies

I've been boarded up like cages

But I'm busting out

But I'm busting out

And don't you give up on me

Don't be like me cause you love me

Don't give up on me

Don't be like me cause you love me
